Created by FuzzyMagma (talk). Self-nominated at 17:10, 23 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

New enough and long enough. @FuzzyMagma: QPQ pending. Hooks seem fine though I had to copyedit. Earwig comes back fairly high but mostly for the names of organizations, some of which are quite long (Department of African, African American and Diaspora Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill). These issues need to be resolved.
- "This activism led to his expulsion from high school." ends a paragraph and is not backed by a citation.
- Consider adding "allegedly" to ALT0. It might be more accurate.

sentenced that was contested is now removed. Fixed most long names that tripped Earwig. Allegedly added to hook (see below)

ALT2: ... that Georges Nzongola-Ntalaja alleged that Rwanda stole chimpanzees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

Sorry for missing this (and cc @BlueMoonset:), I was in the middle of a pretty significant wiki issue and focusing on that when you pinged me.

Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:54, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
