RE "Umar is the child of Turkish parents who came to the Netherlands in the 1970s." -- if she was born in 1970 in The Hague, Netherlands, why doesn't this say, if her birthplace is correct, "in early 1970". PumpkinSkytalk21:15, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
I'll let you in on a secret. The birthdate and place come from the Dutch wiki, so there's no source (they don't do that there). Ssst! The "early 1970s" is from that interview with her parents ("38 years ago" in 2008); I changed it to 1970. That "language" parameter is not in the citation templates that IPs get. I'll let you in on another secret: IP's don't get the "autofill" option in those templates, so it's all done by hand. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 22:40, 31 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Could we please attribute only one religious affiliation to the person in question? How can one be muslim and atheist at the same time? --E4024 (talk) 17:39, 16 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
She is a born Muslima turned atheist. Simple enough. You have too simplistic a view--"Muslim" can also point to cultural background, and that's what populist Dutch media want her for. 66.168.247.159 (talk) 05:19, 29 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
The same for a Christian born Dutch? An encyclopedia should be simple, like me, not complicated like those who have agendas in contributing to one... --E4024 (talk) 08:56, 29 September 2012 (UTC)--E4024 (talk) 08:56, 29 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
