- Some citations don't seem to be fully complete (such as Ref 3); for verfiability purposes, please make sure they have all the necessary metadata.
- Neutral:
- Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:
- Other problems:
- Outstanding [who] tag that needs to be resolved.
Hook eligibility:
- Cited:
- Citation needs to be copied to be directly after the hook sentence; the next sentence with the [who] tag disputes this, however, so the hook needs to be changed.
- Interesting:

QPQ: Done. |
Overall: A few issues with the sourcing; from what I see, the freedom of panorama in NZ would allow the picture to be used, but I think an expert should double-check. SounderBruce 19:21, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: I've fixed the who tag but am unsure about how to properly cite the those sources. They are from newspapers, do you know how to cite them? I have no idea how to cite them with an internet link. —Panamitsu (talk) Please ping on reply 04:45, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Panamitsu: Citations 3 and 6 both need a complete date and first name for the authors. Citations 4, 8, and 10 are missing date and publisher information. Citation 11 doesn't seem to be attributed to the correct original publication. SounderBruce 22:51, 17 September 2023 (UTC)\
- @SounderBruce: I believe I have filled out all the citations now. I haven't been able to figure out how to find the URL for the newspaper article but I have linked a record of it. Please note that two of the sources are from an encyclopaedia so they don't have a date. —Panamitsu (talk) Please ping on reply 12:46, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
- @SounderBruce: do you have an update on this? —Panamitsu (talk) 23:30, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
I've gone ahead and fixed some of the citation problems, but there are still several outstanding issues. They won't affect the hook, so I'm fine letting this go, but please do work on improving them and using the proper format. SounderBruce 06:00, 10 October 2023 (UTC)

Wrong time on "Counting the Beat" from the Swingers
[edit]It appears that "In the 1970s the statue featured in an L&P television advertisement with the song "Counting the Beat" from the Swingers.". However, this song only appears to have been released in 1981, which is sometime later. This also appears in the source, so there must be a discrepancy somewhere. 62.45.60.173 (talk) 10:01, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
