... that Richard Stratton's diplomatic career took him from the Pitcairn Islands to "South America to Japan, and from Southern Africa to the foothills of the Himalayas"?

Source: quote is from The Times - I also added to the hook his relation to the Pitcairn Islands (see e.g. [1] as a ref for him being the territory's governor)

ALT1: ... that Richard Stratton's diplomatic career took him "from South America to Japan, and from Southern Africa to the foothills of the Himalayas"? Source: same

Comment: To do QPQ within 24 hours. ALT1 is just the ALT0 hook without the Pitcairn Islands, which I thought might be an interesting addition. This would be just the fourth DYK bio ever relating to Pitcairn (which is understandable, since they only have a population of 30!)

Moved to mainspace by BeanieFan11 (talk). Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 278 past nominations.

New enough, long enough and within policy. The hooks are fine and supported by inline citation from reliable sources, but since they contain quotes these should be attributed in the hooks as well, according to WP:DYKHOOKCITE. Only one QPQ done, but I guess backlog-mode was not enabled then? Otherwise we would need another QPQ as well. Yakikaki (talk) 15:44, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Yakikaki: Thanks for the review. We're still in backlog mode, thus I needed to complete two QPQs – I just added the second in Template:Did you know nominations/Yvonne Francis-Gibson. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:03, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
