A fact from Angèle Aguigah appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 July 2020 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah demonstrated that the earthworks at Notsé in Togo were used to define separate social spaces, not for defence?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Dr Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah is the first woman from Togo to work as an archaeologist and that she has been awarded two PhDs? Source: "first female archaeologist from Togo" & "one of the only archaeologists in the region to defend two doctoral theses in archaeology" https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-0465-2_2361
Comment: Second nomination - still getting the hang of everything!
Welcome to DYK! You're QPQ exempt. The article is new enough and long enough. The hook checks out and is in the article, but we try to avoid "first" hooks at DYK, so I'm going to challenge you to consider potential other options. Her time as the director of the electoral institute in Benin might fit the bill, as might the fact that she has defended two doctoral theses. Raymie (t • c) 04:04, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT1: ... that Dr Angèle Dola Akofa Aguigah is a 'Human Living Treasure of Togo' due to her two PhDs, her archaeological research and her role as Minister of Culture of Togo from 2003-12?
@Lajmmoore: I don't see a citation for the Human Living Treasure designation, which would be necessary. If I could get one, it might help in improving this hook, too. Raymie (t • c) 08:28, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Raymie: - my bad - I've just added it now - it's the Encyclopedia of Global Archaeology ref 1 in the list.
@Lajmmoore: Unfortunately it doesn't justify the "why" sufficiently to be a hook. Let me suggest an ALT2, though please tell me if this is an accurate characterization of Monroe 2014: Raymie (t • c) 17:34, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I think this is good with ALT2. Raymie (t • c) 17:54, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
