A fact from Sandy Heribert appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 3 January 2022 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Sandy Heribert was inspired to become a journalist after seeing coverage of the Gulf War when she was nine years old?
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.
Article meets DYK requirements and no close paraphrasing was found. All the hooks are verified and cited inline, but I think only the first hook as a broad appeal given the connection with Drogba. This is only the nominator's fourth nomination so no QPQ is needed yet, though a QPQ will be needed beginning with their sixth nomination.

The article seems light on details on anything other than her hosting stuff, but perhaps if that part about her being inspired by coverage of the Gulf War could be expanded, that could also work as a hook? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 00:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
ALT3 ... that as a child, Sandy Heribert was inspired to become a journalist after seeing reports about the Gulf War?
ALT4 ... that Sandy Heribert was inspired to become a journalist after seeing coverage of the Gulf War when she was nine years old?
I mean it does seem interesting that she wanted to become a journalist from such a young age, especially given that it was war in particular that inspired her. I would have mentioned the journalist's name, but the journalist doesn't have an article on the English Wikipedia and besides I don't think they're a broadly well-known enough name to add hookiness. About the only thing I can't tell from the article is if the reports she saw were what she read or she watched on television, so that point may need clarification.

You are right, the journalist does not have an article on English Wikipedia. From the reference she was watching her along with her parents on television covering the Gulf War. So it was on Television.Ampimd (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

okay, sounds promising—I'm going to strikes these and return this to DYKN in the meantime. Good luck, and fantastic work so far! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 08:15, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
sure, I'll tick ALTs 3 and 4 in good faith (google translate seems to verify the french source); promoter can pick which one they want. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/she) 07:37, 24 December 2021 (UTC)
