  • I've double checked the robot review. I couldn't check the information in the hook fact against the source given (it was not viewable online), but it checks out against other sources and I have no reason to believe it is in error. I also couldn't check against that source for possible copyvios. However, the robot's "low confidence" possible copyright infringement is completely bogus and unrelated (someone else died on the same day.) Length, date of creation, etc. are all fine. There are very few sources cited, but as far as I know there is no hard requirement for a minimum number of sources for DYK, as long as those given are reasonably sound. If someone else has access to the main citation, they could review it for issues, or I believe this could be a DYK AGF (accepted in good faith).

  • @Prioryman: could you confirm that the facts about her being the first Malagasy woman to be elected as a municipal councillor and the first woman to lead a Malagasy political party both appear in the Sylvia source (offline)? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:59, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
  • There's also a UNESCO report that could added as a reference to support this: "She was the first woman to be elected as a municipal councillor (1956) and political party leader (1958). She was also the first woman appointed minister in 1977." Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 01:38, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
  • I'm happy to change the source to an online one if that helps with verifiability. I'd suggest using this as it's the same text but not in a PDF. It's used in the article. Prioryman (talk) 13:25, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
  • It's fine to cite multiple sources, so I would add both of those. Then we can look at checking off.
  • Added these citations to the article and the hook. Dorevabelfiore (talk) 23:30, 8 November 2016 (UTC)
