Waharoa (1990) by Selwyn Muru

• ... that Waharoa (pictured), a sculpture by late artist Selwyn Muru, was created to metaphorically turn Aotea Square in Auckland into the courtyard of a Māori meeting house?

• Starting review. Zeete (talk) 13:07, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
  • New (created January 24), long enough (over 4,000 per DYK check and discounting quotes), cited, neutral, Earwig reported violation unlikely (9.1%), QPQ done, hook interesting, cited, length checked ok (long), image ok.

• @Prosperosity: Comments: The hook should include "(pictured)". Consider a caption that includes the artist's name. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 13:27, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

@Zeete: How about this? --Prosperosity (talk) 23:34, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

• @Prosperosity: Good to go! Interesting article about the sculpture. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 11:21, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

@Zeete: Hello! Do you mind if I switch out the image for this one? It's a little clearer, especially at 100px. --Prosperosity (talk) 03:08, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

• @Prosperosity: I agree completely. The new photo should be used, shows the details better. Thanks, Zeete (talk) 11:26, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

• Great to hear! I've switched out the photos in the DYK. --Prosperosity (talk) 02:29, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
