A fact from Gwendoline Konie appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 February 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that 2001 Zambian presidential candidate Gwendoline Konie(pictured) published a poem against male arrogance?
Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 12 Feb 2016 at 23:47:29 (UTC)
Original – Gwendoline Chomba Konie (1938 – 2009) was a Zambian poet and Presidential candidate
Reason
@Adam Cuerden: told me to try a nomination (I have been requested to add other reasons - she represents poorly represented groups, its black history month, there is a Nigeria writing contest on, I like trying new things .... )
Support While the image isn't absolutely perfect (the nametag intervenes a bit), between the high quality of all other aspects of the image and combined with the underrepresentation of people from pretty much any African country, I think this easily passes the bar.

Question Can you please update the reason to something other than "Adam told me to?" Ie the reason you wish to nominate this image, why you think it is FP worthy please? gazhiley12:42, 4 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
