Created by Generalissima (talk). Self-nominated at 09:11, 26 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Queen Victoria Monument, Wellington; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- I shall review this one. Schwede66 00:29, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Article was moved to mainspace yesterday. Plenty long enough, neutrally written, and well referenced. The one source that shows up with a high percentage on Earwig is fine; what's caused that are titles, quotes, and other unavoidable things. With regards to the hook, "international outcry" is going a bit far. It was the Royal Society of Sculptors in Britain that complained about happenings half a world away; maybe be a bit more specific about who complained and where from, or something along those lines. The image is freely licensed but I suppose I would say that; I see that I uploaded it from Flickr back in 2014 :-) (the photographer is an established Flickr user who's taken heaps of photos of monuments and historic buildings). QPQ has been done. Hence, once we've got an improved hook sorted, this can progress. Schwede66 00:52, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
