University of Leeds COI

I work for the University of Leeds & have a COI box on my userpage, but I thought I should just make it clear that my job there has nothing to do with either Wikipedia, or the Department of Languages where al-Qahtani studied. In fact, I hadn't heard of her in a Leeds context prior to writing this article. Lajmmoore (talk) 08:19, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
