... that Bethwel Henry was the first Micronesian to receive a degree in his field and served as a United Nations delegate at age 25?

Source: degree, UN (the source says he was 26, but he was born in 1934 per [1] and his own words ([2]) and thus would have been 25)

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

This article is pretty big to only have a three-sentence lead.
- Expanded.
"However, after a year" comma after year
- Done.
"Trust Territory District Administrator's office" Is there a link for Trust Territory?
- Linked.
Added cat: University of Hawaiʻi
"Pohnpei Congress was reformed into the Pohnpei District Legislature" are there links for either of those?
"Chairman of the Political Committee" no link for that I guess?
"first legislative secretary of the House of Assembly (later House of Representatives" links for any of that?
- Micronesia is pretty obscure and has poor coverage (this is the second longest Micronesian bio on the site); there should be links for those but no one has written them yet.
I guess you don't know where he died?
- Not sure.
"In 1964, Henry was elected unopposed to the newly-established Congress of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands " but infobox says "Member of the House of Representatives of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands" Is those the same thing??
- Same thing (its like how the U.S. Congress has both the Senate and House – same format for the Trust Territory Congress) – re-worded.
Infobox says he was born in "South Seas Mandate". What's that? Body doesn't say anything.
- Added to body.

That's all. Really nice research. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 01:40, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
