ALT1 ... that Omeima Mudawi-Rowlings was made a member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by the Queen but received her medal from the King? Schminnte (talk • contribs) 19:53, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Schminnte: I wonder if we can keep the "disabilities" part as that was part of why I wrote the article to start with. if you have an alternative that includes the fact that is is deaf, I would also welcome that FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
- @FuzzyMagma: The only reason I suggested ALT1 is because it is a bit more snappier and would probably generate more page views. My main concern anyway was sentence inversion, so this should be compatible with your views as well. Here's some edited suggestions below:
ALT2 ... that Omeima Mudawi-Rowlings was made a member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for services to people with disabilities by the Queen but received her medal from the King?
ALT3 ... that Omeima Mudawi-Rowlings was made a member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her "services to people with disabilities in the arts" by the Queen, but received her medal from the King?
- @Schminnte: many thanks for your consideration. ALT2 sounds great.
- then we are good to go. Schminnte (talk • contribs) 17:45, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Schminnte: many thanks for your consideration. ALT2 sounds great.
Surname?
editWhy is the subject referred to as "Omeima" throughout the article, rather than by her surname? Is she from a culture that doesn't use surnames? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:15, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Metropolitan90 it was a clear bias on my side, as she was born in Sudan (where surnames are not being used), I assumed she will use her name instead for Surname. But looking to the sources (non arabic), her surname was used instead. I fixed my mistake and thanks for pointing that out. Also after consulting Wikipedia:Writing about women, I think it’s best to stick to using surnames where appropriate. FuzzyMagma (talk) 07:26, 26 February 2023 (UTC)
