The article is new; length is okay; citations are okay; the content is neutral; 28.6% similarity, mostly due to long titles; qpq verified; but there is a problem with the hook - the content mentioning the hook is These volunteers, the first New Zealand women to serve overseas in aid of the war effort, were known as Tuis. The tui, a native bird of New Zealand, became the emblem of the WAAC.
- the volunteer came to be known as Tuis, but Tui (bird) itself didn't serve in the corps, which makes the hook misleading. Please let me know if I am missing something, otherwise, the hook needs to replaced. KCVelaga (talk) 08:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

- ALT1: ... that members of the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps of New Zealand were known as Tuis, after a native bird?
