... that Fatima al-Suqutriyya is the first attested poet from the island of
Socotra and lived in the third century AH (816–913 CE)? Source: Serge D. Elie, 'Soqotra: South Arabia’s Strategic Gateway and Symbolic Playground', British Journal of Middle Eastern Studies, 33.2 (November 2006), 131-60, doi:10.1080/13530190600953278 (p. 158 n. 105).

Yoninah, thanks! Basically attested means 'known' or 'historically verified', so something like this?

Here is a full review: New enough, long enough, neutrally written, adequately referenced. As all sources are foreign-language, unable to check for close paraphrasing. I have struck most of the hooks because they follow the formula "Did you know that ... X=Y?" ALT1 is far more interesting and hooky. Foreign language hook ref AGF and cited inline. QPQ done. There is just the matter of one quote which I tagged as needing a cite. The DYK credit lines for creator credits look fine.
