  • ... that Maija Rask signed the Bologna declaration with 28 other countries in June 1999, only two months after she became Finland's minister of education? Sources: appointed April 1999 [1], signed June 1999 [2]

Created by DanCherek (talk). Self-nominated at 02:38, 30 April 2021 (UTC).[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: No - no
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article satisfies the length limit (2534 characters). The Bologna process was the end result of prior years of negotiation (see Lisbon Recognition Convention); did it actually depend on any one minister? And Bologna Process#Finland shows that only certain fields were affected. Joofjoof (talk) 08:19, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe write a hook about how she went from nurse to teacher to minister, and finally added a PhD? Not quite mind-blowing, but I found that to be an interesting career. --LordPeterII (talk) 20:50, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion. While I don't see an issue with the original hook (it is factually correct and it does not claim that Rask was an influential player in the process), here is an alternate hook. I find it substantially less hook-y than the original, however. DanCherek (talk) 18:15, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
