Paora having a snack

... that following public backlash over Paora the kiwi (pictured) being mistreated, Zoo Miami stated, "We have offended the nation of New Zealand"?

Hook interesting, article new and long enough with adequate referencing. Hook fact cited inline and verified in the relevant source. QPQ is done. Earwig gives a fairly high number but that is due to attributed quotes which are relevant to the article. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 04:44, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Panamitsu, have you thought of asking Zoo Miami whether they'd like to donate a free photo to Wikipedia? Maybe as part of their ongoing redemption? I do remember that their publicity officer was rather onto it. And on a different front, I encouraged User:Paora to review this article as that seemed rather appropriate. But obviously, he's missed the boat. Schwede 66 07:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: Haha yes it certainly would've been funny if Paora reviewed this nomination. As for the image, I haven't thought of that, although it sounds like a good idea. I prefer not to ask organisations for images so I won't be doing it myself. You are welcome to do it if you wish, although I do realise that you will be more focussed on other projects that are more meaningful to you. ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problems. I've managed to track down an email address for the zoo's communications director, Ron Magill. I've flicked him an email. Let's see what comes back. Can I suggest that prep promoters sit tight for a few days to see whether the zoo would like to make a photo available? Panamitsu, maybe you'd enjoy giving Magill's bio a bit of a tidy up – it could certainly do with one. Schwede 66 08:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image added, thanks. ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to image licensing, I need to sort this out with VRT. It’ll take a few days. Schwede 66 04:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
VRT has confirmed the license and the image can now be used. Schwede 66 13:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Juxlos, could you kindly have another look and sign off on the image's license? Schwede 66 21:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Juxlos (talk) 01:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewing now. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:11, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paora (hatched 9 April 2019) is a brown kiwi – What species is this? There are two species of "brown kiwi". I would also link to the species, not to the genus.
that was the first to be born in Florida. – the first kiwi or the first brown kiwi?
him being mistreated went 'viral'. – link "viral" to Viral phenomenon, as older people may have problems here.
What is an "iwi leader"?
Is there a dot missing at the end of the Zoo Miami quote, or did you deliberately leave something out there?

Assessment: Sources support the text as far as I can see. Article reads very well, no further issues. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:32, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jens Lallensack Thanks for the review. I've addressed all the issues you've described although I couldn't find a source that says what species Paora is so I've kept it as "brown kiwi". I've also linked viral video instead. Do you think that it's a better link or should I change it to viral phenomenon? ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:32, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Link to "viral video" is fine. Regarding the plural: Both "kiwi" and "kiwis" are possible. You can choose, it just needs to be consistent (there is one instance of "kiwis" in the article). --Jens Lallensack (talk) 08:58, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah the "kiwis" is referring to the nickname for New Zealanders, which is always pluralised with "kiwis". ―Panamitsu (talk) 09:49, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, got it. Never mind. And congrats, promoting now. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 10:33, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
