  • ... that an acclaimed writer wrote some of her works while sitting on the toilet, on pieces of paper scraped off from calendars and notebooks? Source: Subramanian, Lakshmi (3 May 2015). "Songs of fortitude". The Week.

  • Why aren't you mentioning the writer's name? And obviously "a writer" "wrote". Here is an alt:
  • ALT1: ... that Salma (pictured) wrote some of her works while sitting on the toilet, on pieces of paper scraped off from calendars and notebooks? Yoninah (talk) 23:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Article was created on 16 Nov and nominated the next day. It is longer than it is required to be, well sourced, and appears to be written neutrally. Earwig is not triggered. I like ALT1, and the article gives more context as to why a toilet, with three inline citations at the end of the sentence. There is a freely licensed and well cropped image that we could use as a lead hook so even though it wasn't included by the nominator, I'm adding it to the hook as it is indeed freely licensed and well cropped. This is Tayi Arajakate's first DYK, so a review is not required, but we do encourage you to experience QPQ reviews to help you get the hang of DYK. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:07, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
  • Muboshgu, Thank you for the review. I do plan on doing a QPQ review, just wanted to see how the process works before that. One question, I also plan on expanding the article more as there is a lot more that can be added or is missing currently, would it be inappropriate to do so before it gets promoted? Tayi Arajakate Talk 21:11, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
I have expanded the article a bit more, in case if it requires one to check if the new additions have issues. Tayi Arajakate Talk 10:01, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
