  • ... Queen Tamaeva V saved the Rimatara lorikeet (pictured) from extinction through a royal taboo which forbade her people from harming or exporting the birds?
  • Reviewed: Tommy Blake (musician)
  • Comment: Please use the more specific Rimiatara lorikeet pipeline not the general name and link Kuhl's lorikeet.

  • Looks long enough, new enough, and neutral. The hook is within policy, cited, and interesting. AGF on offline and non-English sources, this hook is GTG. Ashorocetus (talk | contribs) 00:38, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but do not see the hook fact in any of the 3 cites given. The first two cites just say "the queen" without mentioning her by name. The third cite (footnote 23) identifies the person who placed a taboo on "exporting, exploiting, or harming the lory in any way" as Queen Tamaeva III. Yoninah (talk) 09:28, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
  • The numerals are not accurate in the sources, so I've chosen to ignore them. The numerals used here are from their tombstones [1]. She was the only queen of the 1900s who could have fit that role since her predecessor had already died. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 16:39, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
  • OK. Hook refs verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Ashorocetus. Yoninah (talk) 21:00, 9 April 2017 (UTC)
