Tui Manu'a Matelita
[edit]
Tui Manu'a Matelita
... that Tui Manu'a Matelita (pictured), the Samoan queen of Manu'a, was described by Robert Louis Stevenson as a "little slip of a half-caste girl about twenty, who sits all day in a pink gown, in a little white European house"?(citation is valid: found at p. 405 of Sidney Colvin, Scribner, 1918, gBooks [1])

- New enough (moved to m/space 12 June 2017); article length OK (3870 char.); neutral in tone; no copvio/ close editing except for the expected block quote from RLS; all sections fully cited; the hook meets formatting guidelines,
but is over 20 characters too long, sorry (has to be less than 200)- the obvious suggestion is to trim the RLS quote. Something like Tui Manu'a Matelita (pictured), a Samoan queen, was described by Robert Louis Stevenson as "a slip" of a girl, "about twenty, who sits all day in a pink gown, in a little white European house"Hook good in length, see further below;Butthe hook is,notwithstanding that, isneutral, interesting, and sourced; Image is free, looks okay at a reduced size and is of course in use in the article itself. QPQ- this is mine for Dolly Rudeman. Cheers. — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 14:10, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
