We are featuring Noor alongside Violette Szabo, this week's Example Profile of the Week in the Connection Finder on May 26, with the theme of Military Heroes for the US Memorial Day. Between now and then is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can. A Team member will check on the profile the day before the Connection Finder is updated and make last minute style-guide changes as necessary.
Thanks! Abby
