... that an acclaimed writer wrote some of her works while sitting on the toilet, on pieces of paper scraped off from calendars and notebooks? Source: Subramanian, Lakshmi (3 May 2015).
"Songs of fortitude". The Week.
Article was created on 16 Nov and nominated the next day. It is longer than it is required to be, well sourced, and appears to be written neutrally. Earwig is not triggered. I like ALT1, and the article gives more context as to why a toilet, with three inline citations at the end of the sentence. There is a freely licensed and well cropped image that we could use as a lead hook so even though it wasn't included by the nominator, I'm adding it to the hook as it is indeed freely licensed and well cropped. This is Tayi Arajakate's first DYK, so a review is not required, but we do encourage you to experience QPQ reviews to help you get the hang of DYK. –

Muboshgu, Thank you for the review. I do plan on doing a QPQ review, just wanted to see how the process works before that. One question, I also plan on expanding the article more as there is a lot more that can be added or is missing currently, would it be inappropriate to do so before it gets promoted?

Panchayat is better described as a village council. Consider.
women are expected to get married and become homemakers, whereas looking after the family should be the joint responsibility of both partners,
adds that women need the freedom to choose and act without fear, and that they do not need a man's permission to do so.
This woman is likely to be in the public domain for quite some time as author, writer, poet, and champion of women's issues. A recommendation (for consideration) where references have been archived, it is probably useful to use archived references to prevent link rot.

Issue with 3 different birthdates
Hello,
After the Wikidata merge, her date of birth data now has 3 different years… we should investigate & if possible fix the date on both Wikidata and all the wikipedias (unless if we can’t find a very thruthworthy source).
The date of births on the
Tamil (19 December 1967) and
German (1972) wikis are completely unsourced. I tried searching for these dates but haven't been able to find any sources so they should probably be replaced with 1968 which is cited in this article. Tayi ArajakateTalk18:29, 3 January 2022 (UTC)reply
