Rob Morrison (scientist)

 * ... that Rob Morrison from Australia's The Curiosity Show was an expert witness at the Royal Commission into Azaria Chamberlain's death? Source: "Professor Morrison's evidence was central to overturning earlier forensic evidence. In particular, his evidence, as an expert on Australian fauna, was used to cast doubts on the earlier evidence of a London-based forensic odontologist with no knowledge of dingos." (from the Statement of Significance attached to each object in the Australian Museum's collection relating to the case at http://collectionsearch.nma.gov.au/?f%5b0%5d=obj_collectiontitle%3AProfessor%20Robert%20Morrison%20collection ) and (25 October 2016) "How Is Curiosity Show's Rob Morrison Connected To Azaria Chamberlain?" www.fritzmag.com.au

 * Symbol question.svg Moved into mainspace on 7 March, this substantial article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline and either hook could be used, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. A QPQ has been done. However, some information is uncited, and one of the DYK rules is that each paragraph needs at least one citation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:03, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
 * ✅ Fair call - I was not aware of that rule of thumb, but basically I fell into the trap of putting some material in the article, sure that I would find good sources soon. The sources have not materialized (yet), so I have removed the offending material. Gronk Oz (talk) 08:16, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Thank you. This nomination is good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:06, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote the original hook, but I daresay the last link will get more clicks than the target article. What do you think of having him testify in relation to the "death of a girl by a dingo" or something like that? Yoninah (talk) 19:03, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm happy with that. Gronk Oz (talk) 01:21, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
