 * Image Issue: The most minor not issue with one of the images in the article. The carved gateway image did have a creative commons license but it didn't have the notice that the image was allowed as part of the freedom of panorama under New Zealand law. It is and this is a non-issue but I still wanted to note it.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 02:50, 29 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Delay: I am still working on this but will be gone for the next couple of days and will not have reliable internet access. I do plan to finish this when I get back. Pinging to keep them in the loop.  Dr vulpes  (💬 • 📝) 14:22, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Comments

 * There are statements that need an in line reference.
 * Added further citations in the Toponymy section.Marshelec (talk) 21:25, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Added two citations for area of the island, and distance from Petone. Marshelec (talk) 08:55, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Added a new citation to support this statement.Marshelec (talk) 08:44, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Added a citation to recent book by Hayward. Marshelec (talk) 08:03, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This is a single sentence that introduces the five sub-sections that follow. Content in each of those sub-sections is supported with citations. I don't consider this introductory sentence requires a citation. A possible option is just to delete the sentence.Marshelec (talk) 08:09, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * This one is has a source but it's WP:PRIMARY. I'm not saying get rid of it, but just find a secondary source to support it. I know some people get picky about primary sources but as long as they are supporting secondary sources they're fine.
 * Added citations of two reports from the US News service, from August 2008 and July 2009, about the settlement with Taranaki Whanui.Marshelec (talk) 07:27, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I think you get the idea of what I'm talking about, the article has good sources it's honestly pretty impressive. It just needs to be fleshed out a bit and expanded.

 * Are these sources reliable? I'm not sure if Scoop is a reliable source but if it is just let me know.
 * ref76?
 * Scoop often publishes Press releases, so is frequently a form of primary source. I have added further citation of a secondary source from Stuff about relocation of the birds. (Other citations listed now go up by one number). :)Marshelec (talk) 07:11, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * ref89?
 * This is a published Press release from the NZ Government. It is effectively a primary source, but the content is not controversial. The main use in the article is just to confirm the date of the launch of the trust. This makes a useful contribution to the article.Marshelec (talk) 07:11, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * ref100?
 * Replaced with secondary source. Marshelec (talk) 07:11, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

 * The system flags ref79 as not being reliable because it's from Research Gate. Don't worry about it, I know it's not a preprint and that it's from a peer reviewed article but was just uploaded there.
 * I have now responded to all the GA review comments to this point. The article is ready for further review.Marshelec (talk) 21:25, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
