Hello @Onegreatjoke:, thanks for your feedback and revision. Having created more than 60 articles and several of them on DYK, I can only assure you that I have not copied any sources, except for the quotes, and respected the usual rules. As you say, it might be a case of WP:MIRROR as this new article has already had more than 40.000 visits in five days. Munfarid1 (talk) 22:37, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that it's just a mirror. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:43, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah or Sara ?

Both English spellings of her first name have appeared in the sources, but as most spell her name Sarah, and Wikidata also uses this spelling as her name, this article uses the version Sarah. - There was an erroneous change of spelling on March 14 by an unidentified user that was duly reverted.
