@Bruxton: Good article. But the hook isn't that interesting to me. Could you propose a new one. Onegreatjoke (talk) 16:35, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks @Onegreatjoke: It was not all that interesting to me either. I am going to ping a New Zealand expert @Schwede66: to see if they have some ideas. Meanwhile I will also see if I can come up with a better hook. Bruxton (talk) 16:43, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
