I'm fine with the article, but someone put a "when" template in there. I think that can be solved by tweaking that sentence and getting rid of the "eventually". The high school link wasn't loading; that may need to be retweaked, without the name, if that's not verifiable (but "went to school in America" is in a couple of sources). It's long enough, it's new enough, the image is properly licensed. I checked and read a dozen or so of the sources and found no plagiarism, and that text was correctly verified; the others I'll take on good faith. I can't really decide between hook 1 and 2; both are verified. The first one has a fun bit to it, the second one a serious bit. I think I'm going to go for the revolutionary socialist one.

Thanks, Drmies! I've tweaked the part with the {{when}} and removed the template. I finally found a working archive of the high school link, so I've added that along with a news story for additional support and details in the early life section. I prefer ALT1 as well. ezlevtlk ctrbs01:14, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ibrahim was born in Long Beach, California to Egyptian parents although she soon moved to Egypt, where she lived until she was 14. Her family subsequently returned to California, where she began attending a local Catholic high school. She graduated from high school in 2005, attending Orange Coast College at first before transferring to The American University in Cairo in 2008. She became involved with the Revolutionary Socialists organization and graduated in 2010 with a degree in political science.
Ibrahim became an organizer of the protests in 2011 and used Twitter to document events that took place during the revolution. Western news media treated her as a face of the revolution. After the 2013 coup d'état, Ibrahim chose to stay and continue her involvement in activism and protests. She later co-founded a shoe manufacturing company in Cairo.
Add her birth date in the "Early life" section.
Done, although the degree of precision based on the sources isn't great.
Move the Ourdan 2011 source to "Early life" section.
Done
"Some find Time Magazine cover controversial" has a dead URL.
I just noticed that too, and I can't seem to find an archive. I've removed that source – luckily another source supports the same content. I've tried to run IAbot to prevent future issues with other sources, but AbuseFilter seems to be blocking it.
