A fact from James P. M. Ntozi appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 August 2020 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that after nearly 40 years as a prolific researcher and professor of
demography at
Makerere University in Uganda, James P. M. Ntozi was forced to retire—and became a farmer?

... that a book on Ugandan
demography was created to honor Professor James P. M. Ntozi's 35-year teaching career at
Makerere University? Source: See the first paragraph of the section "Demography of Uganda and Selected African Countries"
Comment: After building several preps with no representation outside of North America and Europe, I am making a push to get articles from under-represented areas into DYK. This is nomination 10 in that effort.
Nice work; noble cause. The article date and size look good, the neutrality and referencing check out, copyvio passes muster, the hook is fine, QPQ etc. I capitalized the P in Professor as it is a title here rather than a generic role.

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook is hardly worthy of his long and distinguished career. It would be much more interesting to say who he is, what he accomplished, and that after being forced to retire, he went to work as a farmer.

I am dealing with a work emergency and don't have the mental bandwidth for anything at the moment.
Yoninah, would you be willing to propose a few hooks and then ping
Binksternet to okay them? If not, can you remind me about this mid-next week? Thanks,
