Charcoal and chalk pastel sketch of Newton

• ... that New Zealand activist Pania Newton (pictured) gave up a legal career to become an activist and spokesperson for the preservation of her ancestral lands at Ihumātao? Source: "She'd planned to move to Rotorua as soon as she graduated, to join her boyfriend and work at his dad's law firm. But then the survey pegs appeared on the land next door to her village at Ihumātao ... and everything changed." [1]; "The 27-year-old gave up a career in law to work for the preservation of Ihumātao – a 33km piece of Māori ancestral land on the shores of the Manukau Harbour – and she's already taken the cause to the United Nations three times." [2]

  • Comment: The sketch is by Wikipedian Pakoire, would be great to see it on the main page. I understand from speaking with a more experienced DYK user that the linked review is OK to use as a QPQ even though the process isn't complete yet (awaiting further review by the OP). Grateful for any suggestions for improvement, to the hook or article. Cheers!

5x expanded by MurielMary (talk), Chocmilk03 (talk), and Pakoire (talk). Nominated by Chocmilk03 (talk) at 06:38, 23 January 2023 (UTC).

• Comment only Just wondering about the credits as only the submitter has worked on the expansion. The point of the credit is to acknowledge those who have created "new" content (be that for a new article, an expanded article, or achieving GA). Pakoire produced the artwork (ages ago) and MurielMary started the article in 2019. I suggest there should thus be just one credit. Schwede66 20:46, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
  • @Schwede66: That'd be all good by me! I wasn't sure of the correct approach to credits so took a conservative one. The reason for including MurielMary was that the template instructions have a question mark next to "Author" which says, "If nominating an article created by another editor, change this value", but I did wonder whether that was meant to only apply to the new content. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 20:54, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
    • Yeah, those instructions aren't at all clear, are they? I've adjusted the credits accordingly. Schwede66 20:56, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
• Note to reviewer – could this please be considered for International Women's Day on 8 March and moved to the appropriate holding area once approved? Schwede66 22:53, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
