John Timoteo Baker modeling as Kamehameha I
- ... that two Hawaiian brothers John Timoteo (pictured) and Robert Hoapili Baker served as models for the Kamehameha Statues?

- Comment: John Timoteo Baker is a fivefold expansion from a stub. No image of Robert as a model exist but the sources indicate he had an influence. I have included a crop of the surviving composite image of John in cloak, helmet and loincloth in the promotion of the hook. The image in the two articles is in the uncropped versions. Please promote with image. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:44, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Length, date checks out. Close paraphrase not found, photo on commons. I prefer ALT1, but the hook fact of the two being governors needs a reference right after the sentence. GTG once that is fixed. --Soman (talk) 19:05, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
- @Soman: ALT1 doesn't exist as a full sentence on the articles though. And inserting they were governors on the paragraph talking about their lives during the time of the statues creation may seem weird. The fact they are governors are referenced in the following sections. They did become governors but we're not so during the time they modeled for the statue. Maybe just go ahead with the first hook because that is referenced according to DYK's after the sentence rule which I find cumbersome. I went ahead and added the same citation from the paragraph about the statue to the first sentence of the paragraph about the first hook.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 19:11, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
