This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright or plagiarism issues. A QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 07:24, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Someone removed the photo of Phillippa Blair's work Snowbound Cloak, with the comment "This work is copyrighted". It is of course copyrighted, like the other works whose photos are used in the article, but the question is whether like them it falls under New Zealand's Freedom of Panorama exemption. A discussion in 2019 failed to resolve the issue, and can be read here. Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 19:41, 24 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
