ALT1: ... that until Rufina Peter and Kessy Sawang's recent election, there were only three countries without a woman in their parliament? Source: see above
Comment: Nice work about an Indigenous woman, sadly no image but quite a hook I reckon, an intriguing variation is to leave out the country
A second woman has just been elected (counting takes a long time in PNG). I will do an article. Would the DYK still make sense if it began instead ...
alt2... that until the election of Rufina Peter and Kessy Sawang in August 2022, Papua New Guinea was one of only three countries without a woman in parliament?
Overall: @Roundtheworld and Victuallers: Very nice work on both articles. I think all three potential hooks are nice, but ALT0 and ALT1 seem better to me (ALT2 has a bit of a redundancy: "the recent election... in the August 2022 election"). Do you want me to wait until the elections are finished so you can add more articles to this hook? Epicgenius (talk) 14:34, 14 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
