... that the 3rd-century poet Fatima al-Suqutriyya was the first from the island of Socotra?Yoninah (talk) 23:21, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. I have struck most of the hooks because they follow the formula "Did you know that ... X=Y?" ALT1 is far more interesting and hooky. Foreign language hook ref AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. There is just the matter of one quote which I tagged as needing a cite. The DYK credit lines for creator credits look fine. Yoninah (talk) 20:15, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
