Overall: 
Copyvio tool suggests there is a paragraph with a little too much similarity to the Atlas Obscura "After Stevenson's death, the villa variously served as the residence of the Governor of German Samoa, the administrator of the New Zealand Mandatory Authority, and the Samoan Head of State. However, hurricanes in 1990 and 1991 badly damaged the residence." So that should be rephrased. However I have qualms about the Atlas Obscura site as a source - is it generally considered reliable? It seems to be community sourced and editable by anyone, but without any sources for the information provided. I think you should be able to find a better source at least for the first hook?

- Thanks very much @DrThneed: - take your point about the copyvio and you point is fair enough about Atlas Obscura - I found this discussion [[1]], which seems to infer that there's no consensus on the site yet. I think AO tends to be fairly reliable (despite some of its content being user generated). However, as you observe there shouldn't be space for doubt in a DYK, so I'll offer:
- ALT2:... that the Robert Louis Stevenson Museum in Samoa was founded by two American Mormon missionaries? Source: https://doi.org/10.1080/10941660701243331
- Let me know if there's further imporvements you'd like to see Lajmmoore (talk) 07:10, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
- Great, thanks @Lajmmoore:, copyvio is sorted and I am happy with the sourcing of ALT2, and the combination of RLS and Samoa and Mormon missionaries is hooky for me, so that's approved for promotion.(Changing "maybe" to "yes" above to reflect that decision).
