Biography assessment rating comment
editThe article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Sdsouza 20:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
Religion
editThe supposed reference for "Islam" is a dead link. Recently Ms Ahmed has been more associated with Humanism. Unless evidence is found to the contrary, "Islam" should at least be replaced with "Unknown". Dadge (talk) 23:18, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
- That dead link is to an interview available on the Internet Archive, but it's in response to a question and it's not clear in her reply whether she's talking about her personal religion or just her background, so I'll remove it in line with the WP:BLPCAT guidance.

Front Row
editCorrect me if I am wrong, but I did not see the fact that she sometimes presents the BBC Radio 4 arts series Front Row mentioned in this article. Vorbee (talk) 17:36, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
Temporary autoconfirmed protection
edit[1] This, from the article subject, seems to be being regarded as a call for humorous vandalism. So I've put a week's autoconfirmed on it. Any admin who disagrees, feel free to revoke; if others object, please note so here - David Gerard (talk) 14:14, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
Inaccuracies in the article
editAn IP address, purporting to be Ahmed herself, has left a note on the BLP noticeboard complaining of inaccuracies in the article. It is nothing defamatory or anything but we should still make sure to get this stuff right. Please can somebody look into this? In the meantime I'll put a tag on the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2019 (UTC)
Schooling
editThe inaccuracies mentioned above were removed by this edit, however it also removed what I believe is a correct (but unsourced) fact that Ahmed went to Wimbledon High School. The article is still tagged with the category for alumni of the school. I haven't immediately been able to find a source to back this up. Does someone else have access to one? FrankP (talk) 12:32, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- How about Tatler Schools Guide 2020, or the Independent Schools Show, or page 10 of Verve 16/17 ("the annual magazine for the GDST Alumnae Network"). --Qwfp (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
- I've just edited the article accordingly. --Qwfp (talk) 20:44, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
outdated reference
editAs of earlier this month, I'm no longer a trustee of Humanists UK. Could you update this please. Thank you. https://www.linkedin.com/in/samira-ahmed-46695b30/details/volunteering-experiences/ Samirrrra (talk) 16:11, 16 December 2024 (UTC)
