Interesting life, on fine sources, mostly in Fiinish and accepted AGF, no copyvio obvious. I could approve the hook as it is, but find her long service in Parliament worth mentioning, - what do you think? The image is licensed and a good illustration, but deserves a year in the caption. In the article, I wonder about "In Parliament" vs. "In parliament", and "Council for Gender Equality's first president" vs. "first president of the Council for Gender Equality". --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:46, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks! Added year to caption. Capitalization always confounds me. I made a few changes to put the ministerial titles in lower-case but kept Parliament capped as that seems to match the usage in the text of other articles like Parliament of the United Kingdom. I did make that edit about "first president". As for the length of service, how about the following? DanCherek (talk) 11:55, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
