Improved to Good Article status by BennyOnTheLoose (talk). Self-nominated at 09:20, 11 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Shaparak Khorsandi; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Promoted to "GA" status on 11 August thus satisfying newness requirement. Article is also long enough, well and neutrally written, and thoroughly sourced. However, Earwig (here) reports a 61.5% similarity issue with one of the sources. This issue needs to be resolved. The hook is short enough and interesting. I can't review the Financial Times without a subscription, so I assume good faith from an established user with respect to the accuracy of the hook. QPQ is done. Once the Earwig issue is resolved, this should be ready. Image has Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. Cbl62 (talk) 18:31, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Many thanks Cbl62. It seems that page has now been removed from Earwig results. It looks very much to me like peopleai.com mirrors content from Wikipedia (e.g. compare https://peopleai.com/fame/identities/joe-biden with Joe Biden). However, let me know if this is still a concern. (The FT article is available via ProQuest on The Wikipedia Library.) Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 20:55, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
