Talk:Alia Muhammad Baker

Dates reverted
I've reverted Satrehsb's edits, which added birth and death dates, because: Tualha (Talk) 09:18, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
 * The claimed birthdate in 1917 contradicts the New York Times source, which implies a birthdate around 1953.
 * The claimed birthdate in 1917 would make Ms. Baker 85 years old at the time of the invasion, which seems unlikely given how active she was at that time.
 * I can find no evidence that Ms. Baker has died; the 2013 Reuters source mentions Ms. Baker but does not mention her death.

Motivation
Does anyone have firm evidence of Ms. Baker's reasons for thinking the books would be safer outside the library? The sources seem to imply that the addition of a government office and antiaircraft guns made the library more of a target, but it's never stated explicitly. Tualha (Talk) 09:23, 30 July 2015 (UTC)
