  • I shall review this. Schwede66 03:09, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
  • I've done a few tweaks and left further suggestions on the article's talk page (the latter not impacting on the DYK process). I suggest that the section "Biography" needs some copy editing to use prose more independent from the Ngāi Tahu source (e.g. "establishing a Greymouth centre for adult education" instead of "establishing an Adult Learning Centre in Greymouth"; see here). Otherwise within policy; new article; plenty long enough; nicely referenced. If I see this right, this is the fifth DYK nomination so a QPQ is not required this time, but will be for the next one. With regards to the hooks, I find ALT0 much more interesting than ALT1. That said, I was left wondering since when has the cloak been worn at the Olympics? The target article does not give the answer, but this one does: 2004 Summer Olympics. Can I suggest that this be added to the article and the year be included in an ALT2? Furthermore, I find the image of the cloak more interesting than the portrait of the person. Hook facts check out. So here's ALT2, for which the article needs to be amended: Schwede66 04:35, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
Te Māhutonga
Te Māhutonga
  • ALT2:... that Rānui Ngārimu helped weave Te Māhutonga – the Southern Cross (pictured), the Māori cloak worn by the flag bearer of the New Zealand Olympic team since 2004?
  • I've made several of the edits as suggested by User:Schwede66 including most of those suggested on the article talk page as well as the suggestion above. As regards the photo for the DYK image, the reason I undertook organising this editathon and the writing of this article was to bring attention to the women weavers themselves, not just their work. I'd be very grateful if the image of Rānui Ngārimu was used. But of course that is completely up to the administrators. I'm very grateful that this article is being considered for a DKY.

  • Excellent. Thank you. Of course we'll feature the person rather than her work if that is your preference (should this article be chosen for the lead hook, which, due to its quality, I would recommend). I've struck the other hooks for clarity. All good to go. Regarding the picture rule ("Check that the image appears in the article"), I assume that a crop of a picture used in the article is fine.

  • ALT3:... that Rānui Ngārimu (pictured) helped weave Te Māhutonga (the Southern Cross), the Māori cloak worn by the flag bearer of the New Zealand Olympic team since 2004?
Schwede66, I've edited to profile picture to the cropped image of her more formal portrait where she was receiving her New Years honour. I think this is likely the best image to use for the dyk (in my opinion) as it is licensed under a CC BY license by Government House. I'm unsure of the copyright status of the cloak image as that had been previously uploaded by another user.- Ambrosia10 (talk) 21:01, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
  • Hence the (cropped) image is now in use in the article. Thanks. Schwede66 03:11, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
