  • Looks good overall, with a decent coverage and sourcing, so well done! QPQ has been done, the article is large enough, neutrally written, and well referenced. A question, though: the article seems to cut off right at the point where he occupied his most senior/notable post. What happened after? This merits some mention, especially for readers not familiar with NZ politics or the role of the suicide squad. Further, may I suggest a modification to the hook: '... that New Zealand solicitor Cyril Croker was a member of a suicide squad?' (given that most readers won't be familiar with the NZ context), or even, if you are interested in an April Fool's hook, something like '... that Cyril Croker was a member of the Suicide Squad?'.

  • Excellent suggestions – thank you, Cplakidas. I've added what happened to the Legislative Council. I like the idea of making this an April Fool's hook. Might see if I can expand other suicide squad members accordingly. Schwede66 19:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
