A fact from Girl soldiers appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 18 February 2024 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that former girl soldiers may face higher rates of community rejection than former boy soldiers?
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
New enough (created today) and long enough. There is no image and both the article and hook are NPOV. The hook is interesting and inline cited to The International Journal of Human Rights which is an indexed, peer-reviewed journal and WP:RS. (Submitter, please note that the URL to this source has been malformed and currently points to the Wikipedia Library. That's not a criteria for DYK rejection since the citation otherwise provides sufficient information for WP:V, but you may want to fix this at your convenience.) Earwig returns a score of 8.3% indicating WP:COPYVIO "violation unlikely". I was not familiar with the terms "girl soldiers" and "boy soldiers", however, the references clearly establish these are used terms for gender categorization of "child soldiers". No QPQ required on this. All in all, everything looks fine to me. Chetsford (talk) 07:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chetsford: appreciate you pointing out that I'd forgotten to replace the Wikipedia Library links I used for my convenience while writing with normal links once done. Source you pointed out is not the only reference with such malformation. Will fix in a moment. AddWittyNameHere09:40, 1 February 2024 (UTC) ETA: And fixed. :)[reply]
