Copyright problems[edit]

I'm afraid that this article has been expanded with content copied from previously published sources. For a few examples:

  • The article says:

Her father died while serving in the Turkish army. When her widowed mother fell on hard times, Iffat was sent to live with her aunt in Istanbul and attended school there.

  • The article says:

Ìffat spoke little or no Arabic and Faisal did not know Turkish. Remarkably, Ìffat and Faisal taught each other their respective native tongues and four of their children learned Turkish at home. Though she eventually became fluent in Arabic, Ìffat retained traces of a Turkish accent, which further distinguished her in the cosmopolitan Hijaz. This linguistic particularity was valuable as she imparted her interest in other cultures not only to her children but, over the years, to many Saudis as well.

By the 1970s, Iffat was building the kingdom's first community college for women.

  • The article says:

A “sterling student,” Iffat was so poor she wore shoes without soles, stuffed with paper, to school. As the Ottoman Empire collapsed in the late 1920s, members of the Al Saud family began to reunite in Saudi Arabia. Iffat’s aunt contacted the family and asked for their assistance to finance a pilgrimage to Mecca for her and her niece, who was by then 15, and held a teaching degree.

I'm afraid this is a serious problem with this article. It may need to be reverted to the last known clean, this version, pending a rewrite of the information in original language. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 22:08, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All of the above copyright violations have been corrected. I corrected all other copyright violations not mentioned also. (Mni9791 (talk) 00:06, 7 March 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Further development to this page[edit]

There are pretty much no more Western news articles about Iffat that will provide any new information. I can certify that after days of work on this page. Mni9791 (talk) 14:06, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Iffat was rarely photographed. I doubt there is a publicly available photograph, and on top of that — if such a photograph exists, I doubt it is available without any copyright problems. Mni9791 (talk) 14:06, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For future Wikipedians interested in this page's development, I suggest you go to the archives of Arab newspapers and Arabic-language media. Mni9791 (talk) 14:06, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
