[edit] Layout

I've just changed the layout a little to break it up and have added a few facts. 12th April 2006 UK 007

[edit] Better picture

Isn't the toronto picture [1] better then this naff mug shot? The mug shot shows us what she looks like, but the Toronto pic' does that and shows her campaining. Also what is the copyright status of both the images?--JK the unwise 12:15, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You may be right. I posted both pictures and have been wieghing the pros and cons of each. Don't concern yourself about copyright status. I would not post them if they infringed copyright.

Cool. Could you please specify the licence of the file by adding the appropriate tag(s) to the image description page. See Image copyright tags.--JK the unwise 09:01, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Do we need the little picture, its a little grainy thing taken from a wide shot (I took it). Does it add anything?--JK the unwise 07:56, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

I donno, why not? For me it adds a great deal, putting her in a much more likeable light. Frankly, she looks way better in the pic you took (I am assuming you took it?) than the other, despite the difference in professionalism. Sam Spade 11:44, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Yep I took it. Some else zoomed it. Here is the wide shot they made it from. I think its a waste of Wikipedia memory space, though someone recently informed me that bytes are as cheap as chips so maby I shouldn't shouldn't worry about that. Not sure attractivness should be a certeria for pictures. There is a third pic that was in at one stage [2] as discused above, it's probally better then the grainy zoomed one. Its an election mug shot, not sure about its copy right status maby usable under the promophoto copyright tag.--JK the unwise 14:01, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Nothing personal, I just like your pic way better (the zoomed in one tho). Sam Spade 14:19, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

The picture in question has now been replaced by a better picture (Image:Salma yaqoob smiling.jpg) so I'm putting the old one up for deletion.--JK the unwise 14:35, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Time and place of arrests

Did this take place in Sana'a, Republic of Yemen, or Amman, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan? Needs correcting -- Amman is definitely NOT the capital of Yemen. BTW, "...during Christmas in Yemen..." is confusing, since Christmas is not celebrated or even noticed in Yemen. Better to say "late December" and provide a year. --RandallC 11:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
