Women in the Arab Spring

[edit]
  • ... that some women in the Arab Spring were dubbed the "Twitterati" for their influential Twitter accounts of the protests?

  •  Doing... may take some time because of the length of the article! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:29, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
  • Female leaders and activists section (and sub sections) need/s additional citations! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:30, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
    • I added citations for Danya Bashir and Salwa Bughaigis; for the other women without in-line citations, the information is from their Wikipedia pages. How does it look now? - Nadhika99 (talk) 05:36, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
      • Looks better! But, add citations in every paragraph following DYK rule. Do yo want it to put on any special day's main page like April 6 or so (with an image (if any))? --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:39, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
        • I've added citations for every bullet, so I think it meets the DYK rule now. I don't have any preference for the date, but if someone else has a suggestion I'd be open to it. I'm fine posting it without an image. Thanks for reviewing!! - Nadhika99 (talk) 05:34, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
          • Hook not properly mentioned article, specially this part: "dubbed the "Twitterati" "! --Tito Dutta (contact) 05:38, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
            • The last line of the Cyberactivism and social media subsection is "Bahraini activists Maryam Al-Khawaja and Zainab Al-Khawaja, Egyptian journalist Mona Eltahawy, and Libyan activist Danya Bashir were called the "Twitterati" because their Twitter accounts of the revolutions were praised by international media outlets.[23]" - Nadhika99 (talk) 08:22, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
