... that Dorkas Tokoro-Hanasbey, the only female member of the New Guinea Council, arrived thirty minutes late to her inauguration ceremony? Source: "KONINGIN HIELD REDE OP GELUIDSBAND: Nieuw-Guinea-Raad geïnstalleerd". Nieuwsblad van het Noorden. 5 April 1961.

Created by Jeromi Mikhael (talk). Self-nominated at 15:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Dorkas Tokoro-Hanasbey; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new and long enough, sourcing looks good, and Earwig checks out. The hook is interesting and cited inline, I will AGF on the foreign-language source. A couple typos/grammatical errors are present that need cleaning: to represent Hollandia and female in the New Guinea Council doesn't really make sense, the next sentence needs plurals instead of singulars, and the "only female member" fact doesn't appear in the body as far as I can tell. ~~As you have more than 20 DYK credits, two QPQs will be necessary for this nomination per WP:QPQ.~~ PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This article was nominated on 5 March, and the requirement only kicked in on 8 March, so you only need one.--Laun chba ller 13:52, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging nominator @Jeromi Mikhael: just needs a QPQ and some touchups in the article for a tick. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 05:19, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done @PCN02WPS: Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 18:00, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are good to go then! (Just as a note, pings don't work unless the ping is included in the same edit as your signature.) PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:26, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@PCN02WPS and Jeromi Mikhael: I hesitated because I am wondering if this is an important or interesting tidbit about this person's life. Is her lateness an important part of her life or does it summarize her personality. This is a BLP so i am being careful. Bruxton (talk) 17:10, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
