Created by Sahaib (talk). Self-nominated at 07:54, 18 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Emais Roberts; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The hook is sourced in the article and the article itself has no copyright issues, and is referenced properly. Regarding the source Island Times, it seems to be reputable source regarding news in Palau. GTG. - Toadboy123 (talk) 12:06, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Toadboy123: pinging to let you know that I added an image which was taken two days ago. Sahaib (talk) 15:09, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- The image is public domain as it is taken by a personnel of the US Navy. So it is good to go with the hook with no issues. - Toadboy123 (talk) 05:34, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  - The hook is not very interesting Sahaib. Please try to craft a hook which better complies with WP:DYKINT. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 02:28, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - @AirshipJungleman29: I find it interesting because Palau is one of only 12 UN members that recognise Taiwan and the hook implies they have a very good diplomatic relationship with them, which as I said is quite rare. I have added two alt hooks. Sahaib (talk) 07:52, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      - Toadboy123 are you available to review the new hooks? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 14:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        @AirshipJungleman29: Yes. Based on my review, I would say to go with ALT2 for the hook. - Toadboy123 (talk) 22:21, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
