...Enrique Ika and Moisés Tuʻu Hereveri were the last kings of Easter Island until Valentino Riroroko Tuki was proclaimed, a century later, in 2011?

Comment: There is some common text. Count them toward Ika’s article. Please let me know if I need to add more text to make it "long enough"

New enough, long enough, QPQ done, hook in policy and interesting. Three things: (1) for the hook, please provide a source with verbatim quote from the highest quality source available, (2) the articles say "last to claim the traditional kingship" which is different from the hook ("the last kings")?, (3) I suggest the hook adds something like "...for more than a century..." so readers can understand the significant time lag before Tuki.

@Onceinawhile:

(1) Sorry you have to read the entire article by Pakarati to get it and it is in Spanish. The hook is a combination of two different facts about the two early 20th-century kings and the fact about Riroroko Tuki in 2011. Basically Ika and Hereveri were elected king but never recognized in the historiography largely due to absence of good sources and also their diminished power. But here is the best summary from that article: "El último de estos reyes hereditarios, Moisés Jacob Tu’u Hereveri fallecería en su isla el 3 de septiembre de 1925 a la edad de 52 años. Tanto él como su antecesor, Enrique Ika, han sido injustamente olvidados por la historiografía acerca de Rapa Nui. (Pakarati 2015a)"...For Riroroko Tuki,..."Vale la pena mencionar que el nieto de Riro, Valentín Riroroko Tuki (hijo del hijo menor del antiguo ‘ariki), ha sido reconocido como “rey” por la organización Parlamento Rapanui. Aunque este “reconocimiento” poco tiene que ver con la forma de elegir ‘ariki que se empleaba en esos años. (Pakarati 2015a)"..."More than a century after the last king of Rapa Nui — a.k.a. Easter Island — was allegedly murdered, his bespectacled, octogenarian grandson has ascended to the throne. Valentino Riroroko Tuki's coronation last July, proclaimed by the indigenous Rapa Nui clans, didn't garner much, if any, global media attention."[1].KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:37, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

(2) The articles also state "was elected ‘ariki (king) of Rapa Nui (Easter Island)" in each of their introductions. The hook is meant to convey an easy to understand point and not to overburden it with too much details that are explained in footnote 1 of each article in regard to the changing status of the traditional kingship.

(3) Added "a century later,"

PS: I want to see if I can get this for a January 8 promotion since it is the anniversary of Enrique Ika's proclamation as king. KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:40, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Good to go. FYI I changed "crowned" to "proclaimed" to match the source. Onceinawhile (talk) 22:33, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
