Date of birth
[edit]Today's Guardian says she's 48 today, which would make her date of birth October 3, 1959, seven weeks earlier than the date we have currently. Are there any other sources for this? (The birthdays column doesn't seem to be on the Guardian's website.) Interplanet Janet 12:21, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
From personal sources (mother went to school with her), her birthday is on the 3rd October. I've changed it to reflect this. Wee Jimmy (talk) 14:11, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, personal knowledge is not a reliable source. – ukexpat (talk) 14:58, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
- But the Guardian is though? And none of the sources in the first paragraph actually give a date of birth. 81.142.107.230 (talk) 15:39, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- Debrett's People of Today has October 3 - is this link considered a reliable source? 81.142.107.230 (talk) 15:48, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
Removed paragraph
[edit]I removed this unsourced bit, as it seems to fail WP:BLP:
- In recent years she has become part of London's new Establishment, but in the late 1980s and '90s she made frequent media comments against the West. On London radio's Brian Hayes show she once stated that there was no sense of skin colour in Arab culture, that racism came from the West. Her own native land Bilad as'Sudan is Land of Blacks.

How many other biogs on Wikipedia have 'ethnicity' as a heading in their biog box? Wiki ought to be consistent in its presentation, shouldn't it? Or am I just naive? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.205.97 (talk) 02:03, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Ethnicity may have relevance in that part of Africa with different backgrounds. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.227.98.81 (talk) 20:04, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Religion
[edit]No mention of any Christian or Muslim family here. Are we to assume her family have been secular feminists since the year dot?! Why such 🤐 silence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 36.11.228.119 (talk) 02:06, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
