Aicha Mekki
- ... that Aicha Mekki was one of the very few crime reporters and female journalists in Morocco during the Years of Lead in the later half of the 20th century?
- Comment: the second half of the hook could be trimmed to either 'during the Years of Lead' or 'in the [later/latter/second] half of the 20th century'

Hi Eddie891, nice article. Review follows: created 23 January; exceeds minimum length; no overly close paraphrasing from sources noticed; hook is interesting and part backed up by the Dictionary of African Biography: "Mekki's focus on crime was particularly daring because there was almost no crime reporting in the press at the time". I presume the "female reporter" part is covered by the New Encyclopedia of Africa and am happy to AGF on this; one comment on the hook wording: I don't know how well known the phrase "one of the only" is outside of the US? It is not used in the UK, but I gather it has a meaning similar to "one of the very few"? Also awaiting a QPQ - Dumelow (talk) 09:45, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
