... that Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam(pictured), the second female Governor of Anguilla, is of Sri Lankan Tamil descent? Source: "For the second time, Anguilla will be having a female Governor...Ms. Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam."[1] "Sri Lankan Tamil origin Dileeni Daniel-Selvaratnam has been appointed as the new Governor of Anguilla."[2]
Comment: She is probably the first British Overseas Territory governor of South Asian ancestry, but I have not found a source to confirm. Also, the swearing-in ceremony was attended in person by the Anguilla government officials. No QPQ needed (under 5 credits).
Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria (newness and length; at ~1650 characters article is just above the 1500 threshold). Article is well sourced and is written with no WP:NPOV issues. No major Copyvio issues -- hits are either positions and titles or phrases that are quite specific e.g. called to the bar. Both hooks are cited and interesting. Picture is from the UK Gov site and is used under OGL. No QPQ required. Good to go. Approving both hooks. Ktin (talk) 02:43, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

"She attended her swearing-in ceremony over video link on 18 January 2021." This seems really odd. I wouldn't say that the person being sworn in was "attending the ceremony". They're being sworn in. The people watching are attending. --Khajidha (talk) 18:42, 23 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
