  • ... that artist Naziha Mestaoui's One Heart, One Tree installation at COP21 will support the planting of 52,677 trees?

  • Comment the Deutsche Welle source simply says that the artist's father hails from a place in Tunisia where rain rarely falls, it doesn't say he lives in Tunisia. Can you please verify? this claim, if unverifiable can be removed. It doesn't add much to the article. I will continue the review and let you know if there are any other issues. I'd also move the external videos box further down the page, maybe next to external links - Elias Z 12:41, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
pending author check of the above; everything else checks out. Interesting read, article is new, expansive and within policy. I find the hook appealing enough. -Elias Z 13:11, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the correction, I've changed the wording. I'm inclined to keep the statement in because it helps to establish context for why she's considered Belgian-Tunisian. I've put up an image request in hopes that someone who was in Paris may post a photo of the installation, but for now the video box links are the only way for someone to see One heart, One tree or the artist herself, so I'd prefer to leave the box fairly high up.
