[edit] Minor edit

I changed "She is an expert on" to "Her research interests include" (that's what http://www.claymath.org/fas/research_fellows/Mirzakhani/ says). She may be an expert on what her dissertation was about, but we'll need sources to say she's an expert on the other topics. --Ishi Gustaedr 00:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Persian women's movement

I removed the link to the Persian women's movement because it made it seem (to me at least) that she belonged to some organization for Persian women. If she has some documented involvement in promoting Persian women, then it probably should be put back (with a reference). If it's just there because she's a Iranian woman with a Wikipedia article, well there's probably a lot of other Wikipedia articles that would qualify to have it as well. --Ishi Gustaedr 22:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

where does she live rigth now? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.255.27.157 (talk) 01:08, August 22, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sources for early (teenage) work

I removed a reference on the "Recognized locally as a brilliant teenager" line because it was from a recent USA Today article that recognizes her later work as brilliant. We are looking for some sources that touch on her early years perhaps before "she found international recognition" from the Math Olympiads. --Ishi Gustaedr 19:45, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
