Created by FormalDude (talk). Self-nominated at 21:52, 1 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Patricia Banks-Edmiston; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.

• New enough and long enough. Nominator is QPQ-exempt (this is their fifth nomination, so this is the last exempt nomination). Hook fact checks out. No textual issues. I also recently saw the Vox video featuring Patricia, which probably led to this article too. Good stuff. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 17:00, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
