Please delete mention of earning and payments.
One part of the entry deals with Masih Alinejad's contract with VOA and how much she earns from it. Please note the mentioning of earnings of a person in her biographical entry is neither normal nor ethical, and is only required when there is a specific point about it or if it answers some important question. None of these exists as far as this entry is concerned. Please remove sections like this unless they stipulate a logical reason for the mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.218.26.34 (talk) 04:45, 7 October 2018 (UTC)
Can you please delete the quote from reference #23?
The quote from reference #23 (https://web.archive.org/web/20180629085451/http://baytownsun.com/opinion/article_49ad6e74-7b48-11e8-9493-7f38abba0771.html) is incorrect and damaging. The allegation was denied by Masih Alinejad and baytownsun.com has removed the article because it was fake. See http://baytownsun.com/opinion/article_49ad6e74-7b48-11e8-9493-7f38abba0771.html) The editor is referencing a web archive site of the article rather than the article itself. I don't think the deleted source should be considered reliable for such a damaging quote. This is the part the page I'm talking about: "Alinejad told the occasionally Baytown Sun's columnist, Emma Mcguire, while she was a reporter in Iran, Alinejad "was forced to marry a form of wedding in Iran known as 'temporary marriage' in order to get close enough to sources of news." She said it was a practice common among Iranian hot-headed female journalists.[23]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elnaz (talk • contribs) 03:53, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Government Worker = "Activist"?
Numerous sources, like the Intercept, have articles out about how this individual is only posing as a grassroots activist, but indeed, is on the payroll of the US government and working with the Trump administration instead. They cite evidence of her payroll records with the US government reliably. Should this person be described as an activist starting a "grassroots movement" throughout the article? IMHO, that would be inaccurate given prevailing financial facts and the biases inherent here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeweyDecimalLansky (talk • contribs) 17:22, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Self-Written Bios in Sources
I marked as Dubious the section under "Career" that appears to be a citation to a website containing a biography that Alinejad has most likely written herself (submitted to the website by her or agents assumedly). There appears to be no other evidence for the claims therein other than by Alinejad's own statements and works. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DeweyDecimalLansky (talk • contribs) 17:25, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
I also think that she or her friends from White House who pay her to play some "dissident" have hands in writing this article.I think this should be corrected and make article less biased. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.243.27.250 (talk) 20:23, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Masih Alinejad (born 11 September 1976) is an Iranian journalist, author, political activist, and women's-rights activist. She currently lives in the United States where she works as a presenter and producer at the Voice of America Persian News Network, a correspondent for Radio Farda, a frequent contributor to Manoto television, and a contributing editor to IranWire. This photograph was taken in 2018, the year when she published her memoir, The Wind in My Hair, dealing with her journey from a tiny village in northern Iran to becoming a journalist and creating an online movement that sparked nationwide protests against the compulsory wearing of hijab.
