Great article! I have created a redirect for the cloak - but I think it really needs its own article. Victuallers (talk) 10:34, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

suggested article improvements

 * As explained in Template:Cite Q, the most common issue is that author names need tweaking so that the common "last, first" style is achieved. Currently, there's a mix between "first last" and "last, first" used in the various references, which isn't pretty (or MOS-compliant).
 * Is it deliberate that her husband's surname does not have a macron?
 * I learn from the List of flag bearers for New Zealand at the Olympics article that the cloak has been worn since the 2004 Summer Olympics; that would seem to be a relevant detail that ought to be stated in this article, too. And added to the DYK hook.
 * Replace "She is currently..." with "As of yyyy, she is ..." as this is a statement that ages.

That's all. Good work!  Schwede 66  03:49, 12 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your very helpful feedback. I've adding the missing macro to her husband's surname, added the information on the date from which the cloak has been worn at the olympics with a supporting citation, and added the "As of" edit as suggested. As regards the CiteQ template, I used it for ease and intend leave the tweeking of the same to others who may wish to prioritise that issue. Thanks again for all your help as it is very much appreciated. - Ambrosia10 (talk) 06:13, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

Macron use
There are reliable sources that spell her name with macrons, and plenty that don't. An IP editor just removed all the macrons from her name in the article, based on a 2015 reference in Te Karaka, which you would think would have this sorted. Usually missing macrons would just be an omission by the publisher. Do we have a policy for a subject that seems not to use, or historically has preferred not to spell their name, with macrons? An example would be Rangi Mātāmua, whose name almost always appears without macrons, even on his own book's cover, except for here: https://www.teaomaori.news/dr-rangi-matamua-hopes-revive-maori-astronomy. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 23:06, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
