... that Antoinette Waroh was the only female member of the Provisional Representative Body, the parliament of East Indonesia?

Created by Jeromi Mikhael (talk). Self-nominated at 08:18, 30 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Its new and the length is fine and it has enough refs. The hook is of the correct length and its intriguing. Victuallers (talk) 09:27, 2 July 2020 (UTC) I did some copy editing.[reply]

Ready to give a tick once the QPQ is done. Please ping. Victuallers (talk) 08:16, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: I think QPQ isn't need because i've only got 1 DYK at the point. QPQ is mandatory if I have 5 DYK. Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 06:50, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Victuallers: A QPQ isn't needed in this case. SL93 (talk) 03:18, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Victuallers isn't responding to pings so I will approve this per their review. SL93 (talk) 17:39, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Can we say something more than that she was the "first woman"? Her being known as "Grandma Parliament" would be a cute addition to the hook. Yoninah (talk) 16:47, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: To be fair, the hook says she was the only female and not just the first one. SL93 (talk) 17:03, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: thanks for pointing that out. But the source verifying that is from 1960. Have there been any women since then? Yoninah (talk) 17:08, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: The State of East Indonesia article says that it dissolved in 1950 and the source is from 1960. SL93 (talk) 17:15, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Got it, thanks. Restoring tick for foreign-language source per your review. Yoninah (talk) 17:35, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
