  • Comment: She is probably the first British Overseas Territory governor of South Asian ancestry, but I have not found a source to confirm. Also, the swearing-in ceremony was attended in person by the Anguilla government officials. No QPQ needed (under 5 credits).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited:  
  • Interesting:  
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
QPQ: None required.

Overall:   Article meets eligibility criteria (newness and length; at ~1650 characters article is just above the 1500 threshold). Article is well sourced and is written with no WP:NPOV issues. No major Copyvio issues -- hits are either positions and titles or phrases that are quite specific e.g. called to the bar. Both hooks are cited and interesting. Picture is from the UK Gov site and is used under OGL. No QPQ required. Good to go. Approving both hooks. Ktin (talk) 02:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Odd phrasing

edit

"She attended her swearing-in ceremony over video link on 18 January 2021." This seems really odd. I wouldn't say that the person being sworn in was "attending the ceremony". They're being sworn in. The people watching are attending. --Khajidha (talk) 18:42, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
