Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam

• ... that Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam (pictured), the second female Governor of Anguilla, is of Sri Lankan Tamil descent? Source: "For the second time, Anguilla will be having a female Governor...Ms. Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam."[1] "Sri Lankan Tamil origin Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam has been appointed as the new Governor of Anguilla."[2]
  • ALT1:... that the Governor of Anguilla Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam (pictured) attended her own swearing-in ceremony remotely due to quarantine restrictions? Source: [3][4]

• Comment: She is probably the first British Overseas Territory governor of South Asian ancestry, but I have not found a source to confirm. Also, the swearing-in ceremony was attended in person by the Anguilla government officials. No QPQ needed (under 5 credits).

No major Copyvio issues -- hits are either positions and titles or phrases that are quite specific e.g. called to the bar. Both hooks are cited and interesting. Picture is from the UK Gov site and is used under OGL. No QPQ required. Good to go. Approving both hooks. Ktin (talk) 02:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
