... that the first ever expulsion from the National Assembly of Guyana took place in 1991, when MP Isahak Basir threw a glass of water at the Speaker in protest in one of his decisions? Source: [1]

Reviewed: According to WP:DYK, I did not have to review another article for DYK, because this is my first DYK nomination.

New enough and long enough. No QPQ necessary (welcome to DYK). I don't see many textual issues, but the hook sources do not back the claim of being the first—neither the one on the nom page or the one on the relevant sentence. Ma nam is geoffrey, can this be rectified? Raymie (t • c) 07:58, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for noticing that, Raymie. I have found a source for Basir being the “first” expulsion, and have changed the source accordingly.

I went ahead and changed the line that contained the "first ever" in the article to use the revised link as a source instead of the one that was there and did not back up the claim. This is ready, Ma nam is geoffrey! Raymie (t • c) 18:40, 21 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
