Created by Taung Tan (talk). Self-nominated at 16:01, 25 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Myat Phaya Gyi; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

  • The size and freshness is good for DYK. The prose is well referenced and no copyvio was observed. The article reads "Myat Phaya Gyi fell in love with Gopal Bhaurao Sawant, an Indian palace gatekeeper, in 1906, when she was 26 years old, and had a child with him. At the time, he was already married." It's not clear how they married if the guy had a wife and the sentence implies the two had child before marriage. Please correct me if it's wrong. Also waiting for the QPQ. --Mhhossein talk 06:43, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Mhhossein, The reason why the princess never married him was because he already had a legal wife, which she was unaware of during their love affair. During that time, the gatekeeper pretended to be single in order to win the heart of the princess. Taung Tan (talk) 18:09, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the explanations Taung Tan, so why does the hook say they got married? --Mhhossein talk 06:05, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
My apology my misatke. fixed. Taung Tan (talk) 08:38, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
No worries. Please let me know when you're done with your QPQ. --Mhhossein talk 06:36, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
@Mhhossein: Just to make you aware, Taung Tan is currently indeffed for sockpuppetry, so said QPQ is unlikely to occur anytime soon. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 07:12, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
Thanks for the notice, Iazyges. --Mhhossein talk 07:47, 25 March 2023 (UTC)
Has a QPQ been provided yet? I'm willing to donate one for this nomination if one has not been provided yet. Pamzeis (talk) 02:13, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
No, the original nominator has been indefinitely banned. EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 16:35, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the donation, Pamzeis. Good to go with the proposed hook. --Mhhossein talk 05:38, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Tagged references to "marriage" as dubious in article, per the discussion above. Cielquiparle (talk) 13:43, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
  • Mhhossein, I fixed the wording in the absence of Taung Tan. I think the issue has been addressed now. Thank you. Htanaungg (talk) 06:08, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
