... that Rukhshana Media is named after a young woman called Rukhshana who was stoned to death in Afghanistan in 2015? Source: The Guardian; Columbia Journalism Review judges the info from The Guardian to be reliable

Comment: The Guardian article about the founding of the news media organisation, and CJR, both say "girl", but at least one of the sources gives her age as 19 at the time of death, so "young woman" seems more accurate, since "girl" is not generally acceptable in the West for a 19-year old female human.

Interesting story about an endangered site, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook is good. In the article, perhaps the tense following "during the Taliban ..." should be changed from past tense as it's ongoing, sadly. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:49, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I tend to prefer WP:RELTIME regarding past/present tense. While I would be happy if lots of people maintained the article, the reality is that a present-tense phrase might remain in place for 5 or 10 years (I don't promise to maintain any Wikipedia articles that I start), and someone in 2031 reading "during the Taliban 2021 offensive, ... are at risk" would interpret this as not making sense. As for classifying Wikipedia articles for different historical components of the ongoing events in Afghanistan, that's getting a bit too far off-topic for this DYK, though I'll just point to Panjshir resistance and Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, and add my personal guess that now (apart from Panjshir Valley), there is no longer a Taliban "military offensive", there are "just" going to be atrocious human rights violations continuing in much of Afghanistan.
