General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

Adequate sourcing: - Generally well sourced, but for direct quotes like "crashed through", "teenage high jinks", "caught in court action" I'd prefer to see clearer attribution, eg. "what The New Zealand Herald called 'teenage high jinks'", or at least a cite at the end of the sentence.
Neutral:
Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited: - Hook is sourced in the article, but not immediately after the sentence that contains the relevant fact, ie. after "...allowing her to wander around Western Springs Reserve."
Interesting:

Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.
Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Nice work! Moved to mainspace today. Pic is a public domain derivative work by the article author of someone else's public domain work. Once the couple of minor sourcing issues are fixed this is good to go. Jonathan Deamer (talk) 13:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I've added more citations. ―Panamitsu (talk) 22:51, 19 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Many thanks, good to go!
