Fanny Howie, circa 1898

Overall: 
Nice article, I enjoyed reading about Fannie, having never heard of her despite knowing "Hine e hine" well. Expansion is enough (expanded 5x on 17 May according to DYK check), and article is well sourced. The picture is from 1898 and in public domain. I much prefer the first hook, but both are approved if the promoter doesn't share my opinion. DrThneed (talk) 21:48, 21 May 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks very much! I hadn't heard of her either until quite recently (been dipping into the Book of New Zealand Women!); it's a lovely song. :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 01:25, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
