Overall: The stub tag needs removing from the talk page. Copyvio basically fine but the phrase "after holding research posts at the University of Toronto" lights up so could be rephrased. I am not quite happy with the hook - the BBC article begins "A university has appointed what it said is the first professor of Ukrainian politics in the English-speaking world" so it is the university's belief rather than the BBC's. But that said I think it's a better hook fact than alt1 if you'd like to reword it. DrThneed (talk) 04:44, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

I've improved the paraphrasing, DrThneed. For the hook, how about "that Olga Onuch is believed to be the first professor of Ukrainian politics in the English-speaking world?" - is that too passively worded? Cordless Larry (talk) 20:13, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Sorry about the delay. I am OK with that - I did a bit of hunting around and am satisfied the university claim is likely true (and they are pretty definitive about in their own article "the first-ever Professor of Comparative and Ukrainian Politics in the UK and the wider English-speaking world".
There is still a stub class assessment on the talk page if you would be so kind as to remove it, then I think we're good to go. DrThneed (talk) 06:29, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Done. Thanks, DrThneed! Cordless Larry (talk) 06:42, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Speedy! Changing assessment, cheers. DrThneed (talk) 06:49, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
