Overall, really good! I would suggest giving Cope to Inspire it's own heading. MyFactsMatter2017 (talk) 19:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC) The sentence regarding Bitcoin is just a little confusing. Are you including it to show that she used Bitcoin as a way for students to get paid? If so, I might suggest rephrasing just to make it a little more clear. MyFactsMatter2017 (talk) 19:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC) I would also suggest combining the lead with Early Life, then the Career section, and a section on Code to Inspire. I remember her speaking at the symposium. She talked a lot about how she advocated for women's rights in Afghanistan and wanted to develop literacy programs to then teach coding as a way to empower women. It looks like a lot of your sources talk about advocacy and gender inequality. If you needed more length you could create an Advocacy section. I'm sure she's involved in several organizations and has spoken all over the world. Has she won any awards and mentioned in any newspapers or media platforms?MyFactsMatter2017 (talk) 19:30, 27 November 2017 (UTC) MyFactsMatter2017 (talk) 19:25, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This needs more/better sourcing to show notability and back up claims. There are some good sourcing in here, but there are a lot of sources that would be considered primary since the person(s) or organization writing the piece is affiliated with Forough in some form or fashion. I'm also concerned at the use of sources like the Forbes article, as that article is written as part of their contributor network, which they don't really edit in any fashion that would satisfy Wikipedia's RS guidelines. With the contributor posts, all they really look for is that they don't violate any of the basic guidelines (no harassing posts, inciting violence, etc) that you would get with most places.
