Paora having a snack

... that following public backlash over Paora the kiwi (pictured) being mistreated, Zoo Miami stated, "We have offended the nation of New Zealand"?

Hook interesting, article new and long enough with adequate referencing. Hook fact cited inline and verified in the relevant source. QPQ is done. Earwig gives a fairly high number but that is due to attributed quotes which are relevant to the article. Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 04:44, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Panamitsu, have you thought of asking Zoo Miami whether they'd like to donate a free photo to Wikipedia? Maybe as part of their ongoing redemption? I do remember that their publicity officer was rather onto it. And on a different front, I encouraged User:Paora to review this article as that seemed rather appropriate. But obviously, he's missed the boat. Schwede 66 07:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Schwede66: Haha yes it certainly would've been funny if Paora reviewed this nomination. As for the image, I haven't thought of that, although it sounds like a good idea. I prefer not to ask organisations for images so I won't be doing it myself. You are welcome to do it if you wish, although I do realise that you will be more focussed on other projects that are more meaningful to you. ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:21, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, no problems. I've managed to track down an email address for the zoo's communications director, Ron Magill. I've flicked him an email. Let's see what comes back. Can I suggest that prep promoters sit tight for a few days to see whether the zoo would like to make a photo available? Panamitsu, maybe you'd enjoy giving Magill's bio a bit of a tidy up – it could certainly do with one. Schwede 66 08:10, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image added, thanks. ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

With regards to image licensing, I need to sort this out with VRT. It’ll take a few days. Schwede 66 04:30, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
VRT has confirmed the license and the image can now be used. Schwede 66 13:43, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Juxlos, could you kindly have another look and sign off on the image's license? Schwede 66 21:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me. Juxlos (talk) 01:50, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
