Please do not add or change content, as you did at Yemenia Flight 626, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Jetstreamer ^Talk 18:22, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Bakari, both in her Wikipedia page and earlier in the page, is referred to as 12 years old, which aligns with the fact she was born in August of 1996. The articles listing her age as 14 contradict her autobiography and later articles (ex: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/23/sole-survivor-of-2009-comoros-plane-crash-recalls-terrifying-ordeal), and thus should not be used to cite her age.

You cannot use Wikipedia as a source. References #3 and #4 in the article says she was 14. The url you mentioned above is not in the article.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 00:05, 1 July 2023 (UTC)

As I noted, her date of birth seems to be given in her autobiography, and multiple more recent sources, like the one above or others from 2022, either mention she was 12 at the time or 25 in May of 2022, which aligns with a August 1996 birthday, so the sources clearly need to be changed. I'm not familiar enough with Wikipedia to properly add sources, so I'm not going to edit it again, but please consider reading more recent articles and citing them in the page, as the article's assertion that she was 14 at the time is outright false and contradicts the rest of the article.
