• While stated in the lead, the hook's fact is not sourced in the lead and is wholly unmentioned in the body. ~ Pbritti (talk) 01:36, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Pbritti does my edit at Special:Diff/1268309867 suffice to satisfy your concern? TarnishedPath^talk 04:16, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@TarnishedPath: Looks good! I'm going to do a quick review of the article when I have fresh eyes and should have this approved by the end of the day UTC. Thanks! ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:35, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Pbritti: lol on your edit at Special:Diff/1268313206. Actually I was almost going to do this DYK review because I have some articles coming up in the future that I will need QPQ for, but then I realised that I couldn't because I had edited the article a bit. Anyway when I was going to review it, I did a bit of googling about another Australian politician named Pauline Hanson to determine if she was the first female to wear a hijab because a number of years ago in an act of racist belligerence she's decided to wear a Burqa in parliament. Anyway I was glad at the time to see that Hanson wasn't the first to female to wear a hijab in parliament. TarnishedPath^talk 05:11, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Hi TarnishedPath, just wanted to double check if were you intending to follow through on reviewing Payman's article? If so, I'll leave you to it, but if not, I would love to take a look at it when I have the time to this week! Ornithoptera (talk) 18:03, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Ornithoptera as I wrote above, I can't because I've edited the article. Also I think Pbritti is already in the middle of reviewing it. TarnishedPath^talk 23:03, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Sorry to not close this review earlier! We're good to go here! ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:56, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Suggested edit based on recent news events

Senator Fatima Payman faced significant backlash after describing Iran as an "incredible place" for women during an interview with Iranian state-owned Press TV, praising the country for allowing women to participate in the workforce and dismissing Western criticism as "propaganda". Critics, including the Australian Iranian Community Organisation, accused her of aligning with the rhetoric of the Iranian regime, which has been widely condemned for human rights abuses against women. Payman later apologised, stating her comments reflected experiences shared by others at the event and not her personal opinion, while claiming she was unaware of Press TV's political affiliations. Despite her apology, her remarks prompted calls for an investigation into whether she had any affiliations with foreign entities, further fueling the controversy. 2405:6E00:491:2EB7:CD4E:1C74:8EC8:FEF9 (talk) 03:39, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

I think Women's rights in Iran could be a more appropriate Wikilink than the generic human rights. 2405:6E00:491:2EB7:CD4E:1C74:8EC8:FEF9 (talk) 03:42, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Added this with some minor rewording. Thanks. GraziePrego (talk) 04:19, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
