A fact from Abortion in Mauritius appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 January 2025 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as this nomination's talk page, the article's talk page or Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that Mauritius's abortion law was "dormant for nearly two centuries", as one newspaper put it?
Source: [1]First, the courage posted by the government proposing an amendment to a part of the legislation that has remained dormant for nearly two centuries must be recognized.
Moved to mainspace by Vigilantcosmicpenguin (talk).
Number of QPQs required: 2. DYK is currently in unreviewed backlog mode and nominator has 21 past nominations.
Article was moved into mainspace on December 2 and was nominated on December 3, making it new enough. It is long enough, and is cited throughout to reliable sources. No copyright violation detected, and I'm assuming good faith that it isn't a close paraphrase of the many foreign language references used. Hook fact is interesting, a good length, and verifiable to the article, but the source is cited one sentence beyond the hook fact. This is a minor problem, but there must be an end-of-sentence citation directly after the quote. This will mean repeating a citation, but we do have to have it there in order to approve the hook per policy at WP:DYKHFC. Once this minor issue is fixed, please ping me and I will approve the hook.
