Missing word[edit]

“following the introduction of they were subject ...” – there’s a word missing between “of” and “they”. Schwede 66 15:52, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Schwede66, actually, there were a few words missing! I have revised this section to correct this omission. Thanks for spotting the error and for your other changes. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 21:19, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

... that Tuis served in the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps of New Zealand?

The article is new; length is okay; citations are okay; the content is neutral; 28.6% similarity, mostly due to long titles; qpq verified; but there is a problem with the hook - the content mentioning the hook is These volunteers, the first New Zealand women to serve overseas in aid of the war effort, were known as Tuis. The tui, a native bird of New Zealand, became the emblem of the WAAC. - the volunteer came to be known as Tuis, but Tui (bird) itself didn't serve in the corps, which makes the hook misleading. Please let me know if I am missing something, otherwise, the hook needs to replaced. KCVelaga (talk) 08:00, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@KCVelaga: In my understanding, that's accepted for "last hook" links, the 'kooky spot', but an alternative could be the below? - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 08:04, 1 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
