Quintin Johnstone
- ... that American legal scholar Quintin Johnstone advocated for giving control of the American-governed Haile Selassie I University Law School to native Ethiopians? Source: https://www.repository.law.indiana.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1795&context=facpub (among other sources in the article)
- Reviewed:
- Comment: Johnstone was — and remains — a relatively obscure legal scholar. He nonetheless led a distinguished career in being dean of the first law school in Ethiopia, where his philosophy is demonstrated in this DYK, and also taught Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill at Yale. As of the time of writing, I have gotten the article to GA status and it passed today.
Improved to Good Article status by GuardianH (talk). Self-nominated at 20:38, 16 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Quintin Johnstone; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
New GA status verified. Long enough and properly sourced. Nominator appears to have only three prior DYKs; QPQ not required. Earwig found strong similarities but all appear to be either proper noun phrases or properly marked quotes. Interesting hook with verified source. I repeated a footnote on the hook sentence in the article to comply with GNG rules. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:34, 22 July 2023 (UTC)
