I suggest that either the article is changed to be "Death of ISIL hostage Kayla Mueller" and reduced to a less biographical obituary (which it is going to quickly turn into) and more an event wiki or that the article is stricken and that Kayla's name is added to another appropriate wiki that lists deaths and murders associated with the ISIL terrorist group(s). This should be done as soon as the details of her death are confirmed. Memorial sites can take up where the article leaves off, of course. R.I.P., Ms. Mueller

- In a perfect Wikiworld, she wouldn't have an article, and people like "Eighteen Syrian soldiers" in
ISIL beheading incidents
would get names. People should only have articles if they've
done
something notable. Everything here is about what was done to her. Even her organization is a redlink. If she'd have been any other American, the story would stay the same, only the bio would change. That country forbids family members from negotiating releases (counts as funding a terrorist).
- But we live in the real world, and so long as the press runs humanizing feature piecese about these interchangeable Western folks, it's going to seem like
they
were the significant ones. If things seem one way in Google News, Wikipedia will feel it. That extends way beyond ISIS or America, though ISIS and America play a part in why Google treats some propaganda as news and the other as objectionable content.

Israel's Voice
is clearly pro-Israeli (which I don't feel is a problem, particularly in a part of the world where anti-Israel attitudes are not considered a problem). PAL is clearly pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli. For both of these to have a similar opinion on Mueller says something about the emerging picture of what she was doing.

"Kayla Jean Mueller (August 14, 1988 ? c. February 6, 2015) was an American far-left anti-Semitic extremist and part of the Arab terrorist organization that calls itself "International Solidarity Movement" (citation needed) from Prescott, Arizona, taken captive in August 2013 in Aleppo, Syria, while leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital."
To what extent has this claim been substantiated? It sounds like right wing rhetoric... libelous rhetoric, at that.

I note that this first paragraph has been changed to the following:
"Kayla Jean Mueller (August 14, 1988 ? c. February 6, 2015) was an American human rights activist and humanitarian aid worker from Prescott, Arizona, taken captive in August 2013 in Aleppo, Syria, while leaving a Doctors Without Borders hospital."

It must have been a troll. It looks like whoever authored the first quote simply changed what was in the first paragraph (the rest of the article did not follow from such an inflammatory statement). Ms. Mueller has been the subject of hateful and incendiary attacks from the right wing blogosphere in the United States, especially from those bloggers with an enthusiasm for Likud policy in Israel. Lacking a factual basis for such attacks, I guess they are trying to fabricate one.Gentil Aquitaine 11:22, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I believe that there is a good amount of work to be done before this article can be listed. You don't seem to have contributed much or at all to the article and are not very experienced at GAN--I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the
good article criteria
if you have not already. I would prefer that you respond here, but if after seven days (or fewer if I see that you are editing and not responding to the review) the comments are not required, then the article will have to fail. Anyways, let's get into this:
Lead
[
edit
]
- This lead is much too short and not comprehensive. Particularly, her humanitarian work prior to capture and reactions to her death should be expanded.
- It seems bizarre to just have the "Media had long reported" sentence without other crucial details being included in the lead.
Activism and humanitarian aid
[
edit
]
- Most of the paragraph of this section (up to the footnote) is unsourced?her education is not included in the source, as well as many of the listed types of humanitarian work.
- Put a subscription parameter for ref 2.
- I dislike that you've primarily sourced this section with what appears to be either her official website or a website designed to promote and support her and her causes. If this is the latter, why is it a reliable source? The material in this part, especially the bullet points, reads like a resume.
- Most of this material is irrelevant and much too detailed as well.
Capture and death
[
edit
]
- What makes "The Gateway Pundit" reliable? It just looks like this random guy's political blog.
- I'm a bit troubled by the Shoebat source. While it looks like a news site, if you dig deeper, it's primarily done by these two relatives who
are very biased against Islam in general
. Because it is a news-driven piece used to state facts, I think I can accept it, but what is your rationale for using it compared to other news sources that could provide the same information??:) (BTW, I'm okay with you using Fox News--it's a mainstream news source).
- Could you be more specific than "militants abducted her"?
- The chronological order part of this is a bit all over the place--you talk about the rescue mission, then skip ahead a few months, then go back to the rescue mission.
- "The Pentagon agreed…with the family's consent." The "not in citation given" tag is well-placed here, making most of this paragraph unsourced.
Reactions
[
edit
]
- There's a lot more in the "family" subsection that can be done, and I've seen more pieces of information in the sources you already have.
- The first part of the "government" subsection isn't a reaction to her death, per se. So it should be in the previous section. Also, the Obama part should be in the reactions section.
- "After many Western news outlets…" What news outlets? What did they say? This whole topic must be expanded. This seems to be a big part of the reactions to her announced death and it's given very little time.
- I don't think you need the hashtags and caps locks in the tweets.
- I'm sure there are other examples of Jordanian officials reacting to the tragedy, no?
- The source about the Pentagon declining to investigate appears to be relatively long--could you include more on their rationale behind not investigating?
- The whole
Time
part is quite non-neutral--you can't use phrases like "her selfless desire to end suffering", "her desire not to be seen, but to genuinely help people", or "possession of Millennials' positive good [this is redundant] qualities…" in the encyclopedia's voice. Using short quotes and phrases like "what they saw as blank" would be a lot better.
External links

- The problem is the instability of the article currently caused by vandalism (not by you) that has allowed such edits to remain. Add the content back in, but please don't add sources that aren't considered reliable by Wikipedia standards. The Guardian is one, Independent another, Al Arabiya possibly being another. Further, while we don't want to whitewash anything, please take care of how you word the circumstances surrounding this woman's "marriage" and her treatment. This is still a
WP:BLP
for up to two years following her death and needs to be edited with care in accordance to BLP policy.
- Will do. Her parents are the ones who broke the story to ABC News. I am not sure why the Independent, the Guardian, and Al Arabiya would be considered unreliable.--

- The problem with this "number of credible news sources" is that all of them repeat the same primary claim from the FBI, without further verification. The statement needs to be qualified as an allegation by the FBI, not simply "it is reported". Amending it accordingly.

- I reverted back. Whatever the validity regarding points the above editor has made, it is suspicious and generally not a good idea to remove a large amount of sourcing for cosmetic purposes. There is definitely a similarity in the reporting and there is definitely a lot we don't know about what happened to Mueller and likely may never know but that does not equal faulty or superfluous reporting.

An editor has attempted to change each mention of ISIS to ISIL based on what the State Department calls the terrorist organization. I believe that what we need to go with is what the reliable sources say. Anyone know what the preponderance of acronym usage is?

This got recently added: On August 24, 2016, ABCNews reported that Doctors Without Borders had refused to help negotiate her release.
I'm not questioning it. ABC did indeed report that. But considering she's not a MSF employee or anyone having any relationship with MSF, it's weird. No? The people who might have negotiated her release might be her government or her family. But should this article list everyone who didn't help? That would really be a list of everyone on the planet minus 2 groups. I'm just not sure this is a encyclopedia issue, more of head-line grabbing weak journalism. What do people think? I wanted to ask before making an edit.

- It does seem a little weird, but there is slightly more context than that, as I've edited the article to reflect. Basically, they hired a Syrian man to work as a contractor for the day. They had no idea he had an American girlfriend who was planning to tag along with him from Turkey - had they known they would not have endorsed that at all. They got pulled out of an MSF car after leaving the hospital. I don't blame MSF for washing their hands of this, but there was this connection.

The main article says little about her rape, torture, and murder. A separate section describing her abuse and murder under DAESH might be useful, to match the gravity of these crimes.
"The American aid worker forced to marry ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had her finger nails ripped out as she was constantly raped before her death.
A teenage sex slave of the terrorist warlord told how she saw US hostage Kayla Mueller systematically tortured while held captive by his blood thirsty henchmen."

Right now in the "Death" section and "government" section there are many entire graphs devoted to here death, all of which center on airstrike claim, with only debate being if it was US or Jordanian airstrike.
According to WaPost, NYTimes, WSJ, Guardian, DTelegraph, ABC, BBC, Foxnews and CNN the most current and accurate information is this young woman was directly murdered by her captors, based on multiple statements by other captives and captured ISil members.
the airstrike claim by ISIL should be downgraded in text to a single sentence noting this was a claim wiht no support, and more recent information indicating direct murder by her captors should be the main focus when it comes to her death.

Why was Al-Baghdadi not Kayla Mueller's husband? While it is true that she was forced to marry the leader of an international terrorist organization, something that undoubtedly made her kidnapping particularly horrible, anyway he was her husband. Don't you think?--

The cause of death in the infobox states "Murdered by ISIS after being tortured for 500 days", but the article text states that her cause of death is unknown, with various possibilities. How do we resolve this discrepancy?

From German newspaper
"Die Welt"
https://www.welt.de/politik/ausland/article137326834/Sie-liess-sich-von-den-Dschihadisten-nicht-brechen.html
:
Der Brief, in dem Kayla Mueller versicherte, sie sei ?ungebrochen“ und trage noch ?viel Kampfkraft“ in sich, erreichte die Eltern im vergangenen Herbst uber Mitgefangene, die freigekommen waren. Er ist datiert auf den 2. November 2014 und wurde erst jetzt offentlich bekannt. ?Ich weiß gar nicht, was ich euch sagen soll“, schrieb Kayla darin. ?Bitte wisst, dass ich an einem sicheren Ort bin, vollig unverletzt und gesund (ich habe sogar zugenommen); ich wurde mit großtem Respekt + Freundlichkeit behandelt.“
There she wrote that she was treated with utmost respect and friendliness. Shouldn't we mention her letter? In the German Wikipedia it is mentioned indeed. --

The question of Kayla’s date of death has been an uncertain one. I think that for the sake of being factual and trying to be accurate, I think that we should shift from the purported February 6, 2015 to c. 2015.
