Meka Whaitiri

• Comment: I've kept the 'Silver Ferns' bit deliberately obscure for intrigue.

• She says she was a "non-travelling reserve". This falls a little short of "used to play for". Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:53, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

• ALT1 ... that

• Fair comment; ALT1 is more precise. Schwede66 22:36, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

• Note that she is expected to be sworn in on 30 July, so if the hook hasn't run by then, the "(pending)" needs to be removed. Schwede66 20:09, 13 July 2013 (UTC)

I have removed the "pending" from the hook. Currently the article reads "She is expected to be sworn in on 30 July when Parliament resumes." Now that this has passed, can you add a reference to confirm this and confirm the hook is correct. Thanks --Rushton2010 (talk) 00:10, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

New enough, etc. Didn't find any plagiarism, and it's decently written. I don't like this "intriguing" hook, but OK. Article is now updated. Drmies (talk) 15:00, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
