Hmm, how about:

• ALT1: ... that in 1899, Rosa Lemberg (pictured) became the first African-born person to receive Finnish citizenship? Source: https://sites.utu.fi/intertwined-histories/lessons-to-learn-from-the-story-of-rosa/ EytanMelech (talk) 13:24, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
  • @EytanMelech: that hook is much better, and the image is now used in the article. I forgot to leave a notice on the nom's talk page when I reviewed this so I've gone ahead and done that now. I will also leave them a ping here; @Juustila: how does this hook sound to you? PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:48, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
    • @EytanMelech:@PCN02WPS:I think this one is much better now than the original. Juustila (talk) 02:14, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
      • Thanks! Glad to help. EytanMelech (talk) 02:16, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
        • Awesome! Sounds like we're good with ALT1 then. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:04, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
• @Juustila, EytanMelech, and PCN02WPS: looking at the source seems to undercut the verification – the source cited in this nom explicitly says that her status as being “the first [Finnish African]” cannot be confirmed as a historical fact. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 07:22, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
  • @Theleekycauldron:Well, is this better source?
    ALT2: ... that in 1899, Rosa Lemberg (pictured) became the first African-born person to receive Finnish citizenship? Source: https://helda.helsinki.fi/server/api/core/bitstreams/914887dc-8d13-4305-89a0-7a6e03f52b03/content Juustila (talk) 12:56, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
    • @Juustila: the language used in the source that was pointed out by Theleekycauldron makes me think that we may need to look for another fact altogether, though I could be wrong - I'll defer to her expertise either way. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 18:10, 16 July 2023 (UTC)
      • that'd be my recommendation as well :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 01:59, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
        • @Juustila: did you see the above? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 17:56, 6 August 2023 (UTC)
          • without action from the nominator, and without a viable hook, I'm not sure that this nomination can proceed. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 00:11, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
            • I'm sorry. I simply lost interest in further promoting this as a DYK candidate when it became so incredibly complicated. Forget the whole damn thing.Juustila (talk) 04:19, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
