I have proposed updates for this page. I have a WP:COI as a consultant for WhiteHatWiki, which was hired by the subject of this article. Thank you for your review.

1. What I think should be changed:

Please rename the “G(irls)20” section as “Career” and replace the first paragraph:

Change from:

“G(irls)20”

In 2010, she founded G(irls)20, an annual event to empower women from each of the G20 countries and Africa. Each year in advance of the G20 summit, G(irls)20 brings together women for a week of leadership training and advocacy.^[1] She served as CEO of G(irls)20 for 5 years until she became CEO of the Malala Fund.

Change to:

“Career”

In 2010, Mohamed founded G(irls)20, an annual leadership event for young women held in advance of the G20 summit.^[2] Mohamed served as CEO of the Malala Fund, a non-profit founded by Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai.^[3]

Reason for the change

Suggesting “Career” for the title because the section contains information about Mohamed’s career beyond G(irls)20. Rewrote the first sentence to remove promotional language and cut the second sentence as it did not reference Mohamed. Replaced citation 7 (dead link) with reliable secondary source. Added source missing for third sentence and rewrote so that it would be supported.

2. What I think should be changed:

Please add a sentence to as the third sentence of the “Career” section as requested above:

As of 2024, she was the CEO of King’s Trust Canada, the Canadian arm of the youth charity founded by King Charles.^[4]

Reason for the change

Adding updated information about Mohamed’s career based on reporting in a prominent media source.

3. What I think should be changed:

Please replace the first sentence of the Lead paragraph:

Farah Mohamed (born 1970) is a Canadian women's rights activist, public speaker, and business leader who founded G(irls)20, an annual event to bring together women from across the world.^[5]

Change to:

Farah Mohamed (born 1970) is the CEO of King’s Trust Canada, the Canadian arm of the youth charity founded by King Charles III, and former CEO of the Malala Fund, a non-profit founded by Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. She is the founder of G(irls)20, an annual international leadership event for young women.

Reason for the change

Rewrote the sentence to remove women’s rights activist, public speaker, and business leader because none of those titles are mentioned in the cited source. Replaced with just her actual credentials, based on citations in the previous requests. Removed cites that will already be in the body of the article.

4. What I think should be changed:

Please remove the third sentence of the first paragraph of the Lead:

She spent almost a decade working with Canadian politicians on Parliament Hill.

Reason for the change

The sentence is not supported by a source and I could not find one to confirm.

5. What I think should be changed:

Please add an infobox with updated photo:

Reason for the change

Replacing cartoon drawing of Mohamed with a fair-use photo of the subject and adding standard infobox for pages about living people.

Thank you for reviewing these suggested improvements. Brucemyboy1212 (talk) 20:03, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
