Rona Fairhead
edit
- ... that Rona Fairhead (pictured) is the first woman to be appointed chairman of the BBC Trust?
Created by This is Paul (talk), Ilovetonga (talk), HJ Mitchell (talk). Nominated by HJ Mitchell (talk) at 00:36, 31 August 2014 (UTC).
Article new enough (30 August 2014), (barely) long enough (1679 characters), fully referenced. Hook verified. No QPQ required because Harry is a newbie. Image licence verified on Flickr. Good to go! Hawkeye7 (talk) 08:40, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- Apparently the appointment is subject to confirmation. I think it's just a formality, but probably best to wait for that before this goes onto DYK. Oh, and I'm not a newbie—this will be my 35th DYK, and accordingly I did a QPQ review. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:26, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- I thought that was very strange, but the QPQ checker insisted. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:09, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
- She has now been confirmed. So good to go. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:24, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Be careful to read the whole story, my friend! ;) There are still formalities to go through (though if she wasn't appointed at the end of it all, that would be notable in itself) like a grilling from a select committee. I'm in two minds as to whether to put it on DYK now and alter the hook or wait for the Queen's official confirmation. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:02, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
