Birubala Rabha

... that the Assamese activist Birubala Rabha has rescued over thirty women from being persecuted as witches in the last decade? Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-35975360

5x expanded by Schnitzella (talk) and Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk). Nominated by Schnitzella (talk) at 15:37, 6 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Birubala Rabha; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Do you know whether https://www.lokmattimes.com/topics/mission-birubala/ copied the first 2 sentences without attributing Wikipedia or vice-versa? Oh sorry you won't know as it was before your time - I will try to figure it out. Not on Wayback Machine but I guess they copied us as I cannot see why they would say that Assam is in India as all their readers would know that. Earwig tool shows no other copyvio.

Checked no qpq needed, checked long enough and 5x expanded from previous 500 characters. Hook is interesting for me and checked it is in source.

Checked picture - seems fine to me

Spot checked a couple of cites fine

@Schnitzella: Please could you cite or remove the sentence with the "Citation needed" tag and that will probably be enough for me to approve this interesting article. If you like you can also link persecuted as witches. Chidgk1 (talk) 06:13, 13 March 2023 (UTC) Doh forgot to notify writer - did it now Chidgk1 (talk) 18:57, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
