1669 prose characters; nominated within less than a week of creation; interesting hook; Guardian is RS; no plaigarism. I have added a WP link to the eSIMs so that anyone unfamiliar could check what that is; but I think most readers would be familiar, so should be no problem. Also added WP link to the Gaza Strip. This is GTG. Makeandtoss ( talk) 13:04, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
@ Chipmunkdavis: Will this multi-hook be featured for a longer time? If not, I would prefer the two remain separate hooks. Makeandtoss ( talk) 09:04, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
Template:Did you know nominations/Mirna El Helbawi was promoted with a single bolded link. This nomination needs be changed to something more unique than that one. Regards.— Bagumba ( talk) 15:37, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi
AirshipJungleman29 and
Makeandtoss thank you for the reminder and the suggestion. I suggest.... that Palestinian journalist
Hind Khoudary was the first person in the
Gaza Strip to have been connected with donated eSIMs through the
Connecting Humanity initiative, and since then at least 200,000 people living there (around 10% of the population) have been connected in the same way? I know this is quite long but I think its really important to quantify the scale of what they have done. Thanks again
