Torpedo Bay Navy Museum
Created/expanded by Nick-D (talk). Nominated by Maile66 (talk) at 14:07, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * ... that the items on display at the Royal New Zealand Navy's Torpedo Bay Navy Museum  (pictured) include the Māori warrior's skirt which the captain of the battlecruiser HMS New Zealand (1911) wore for good luck in battle?


 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article size and date check out, DD shows no apparent CP/CV concerns, photo is Commons and licensed appropriately, hook fact checks out. Good to go. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:45, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I've just re-written this hook, as the original version wasn't accurate (this isn't 'according to the museum': it's a well documented fact, and the key feature is that the museum houses this historically significant artifact). I don't think that the picture is necessary - while I took it, it's hard to see anything at this size. Nick-D (talk) 23:52, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, this is cool. Love the article, and ever since I read it, I've been trying to get a mental picture of the ship captain in the piupiu skirt. Maile66 (talk) 00:00, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * From memory, I think that the museum includes a photo of him wearing it :) Thanks for nominating the article. Nick-D (talk) 00:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

 * While it's not required given that this isn't a self-nomination, I've reviewed the DYK nomination for When the Emperor was Divine. Nick-D (talk) 10:37, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
