Starting review

As this is the oldest nomination at GA, I will do the review. Thanks. No Great Shaker (talk) 19:59, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

1. Is the Miru clan anything to do with the Polynesian goddess Miru? If so, it would be useful to note the connection.

No direct connection that I am aware of.

2. Under "Conversion", there is an existing query in the editor which should have been a citation request. I think we do need citations for everything about Angata's first husband.

Fixed. It was all under the two footnotes which was split in two without preserving the sources. The sources just say he got angry at her for not collecting coconuts and beat her which caused her cousins to kill him in retaliation.

3. No article about Enrique Merlet so do you have any biographical information about him that would flesh him out a little?

I don’t have the time to make another article. But definitely an individual worth an article. A lot of these figures would as well.

4. Given that Merlet was already gone, what is the context of the vision Angata had about his death? How does that translate to rebellion against the company that removed Merlet?

Merlet owned the land on the island and his overseers have been abusing the islanders thus his death meant open rebellion against the existing system. The transfer to the Balfour company didn’t seem to cross Angata’s mind.

5. Was Daniera a Rapa Nui or otherwise Chilean? Was he deported from the island or from Chile as a whole?

A Rapa Nui. He was deported from the island.

Besides the above questions, I've made several changes to the article to remove redlinks and improve grammar and paragraphing. It is certainly well sourced apart from the point made in #2 above. If you can answer the questions, I'll look at it again. I'm placing it on hold for the time being. It's an interesting article. I must admit I thought Easter Island was uninhabited until recently so I've learned something. Thanks very much and all the best. No Great Shaker (talk) 20:40, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Result

@KAVEBEAR: thank you for the answers which are useful and I've made a couple of tweaks to reflect these. I'm entirely satisfied that this is a good article in my opinion so I'm going to pass it. My comments on each of the good article criteria are as follows:

Well written: the prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct. Certainly well written and a very interesting article to read.
Complies with the MOS guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation. Fully compliant. Only one paragraph in the intro but the article is just 13.4kb so no problem. Structure is fine, no words like "awesome" or "stunning", it is non-fiction and there is no need for any lists.
Verifiable with no original research: contains a list of all references in accordance with the layout style guideline. The reflist is fine and uses the Harvard system.
All inline citations are from reliable sources, etc. A total of eight different sources have been used and, while I have to take these on trust, there is no reason whatsoever to think any might be unreliable.
No original research. No evidence of original research given the extent of source usage.
No copyright violations or plagiarism. No evidence of either.
Broad in its coverage. It is a short article but that reflects the limited scope and it presents wide coverage in summary style without delving into minutiae or going outside scope. The coverage has been well planned, I think.
Neutral. No problems.
Stable. No problems.
Illustrated, if possible. This is good. The three images give you a real feel for what life was like for the Rapa Nui at the time.
Images are at least fair use and do breach copyright. All public domain so no problems.
