For anyone reading this in the future, the Scott et al. source can be used for a more thorough description. I have not added much from it because I do not have an understanding of the topic. ―Panamitsu (talk) 09:10, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

QPQ:   - Not done
Overall:   New enough, long enough, sourced and neutral, Earwig detects no issues with the article. The photo is used, clear, and free. QPQ is needed, but also Panamitsu I'm very curious if we would be able to workshop the hook. In my opinion, there's some aspects of this meteorite that could make for something potentially more hook-ier. Namely:

  1. The sofa that was damaged by the meteorite being auctioned (same source mentions it's the only one that hit a house in NZ) [1]
  2. The meteorite being potentially thrown out [2]
  3. The meteorite being named as such because the street and post office names were already taken [3]

Perfectly fine if these angles are not interesting to you, but there are plenty to work with in this DYK and I felt eager to share my two cents. Ornithoptera (talk) 23:30, 19 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
