... that writer and historian Ann Beaglehole has questioned why New Zealand is less open today to refugees than it was in the 1950s? Source: [1]: "If New Zealand, with a population of around 2 million in the early 1950s, was willing to accept 1100 Hungarian refugees, why cannot we take more refugees today?"
Overall: @Chocmilk03 Although the article is good (though I'd prefer if you used a citation to cite her selected works), the hook to me isn't really that interesting. It's just her questioning something which doesn't truly seem that interesting. I'm not going to fail though, i'll just wait for a different hook. Onegreatjoke (talk) 15:27, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
@Onegreatjoke: Thanks for the review! I've added citations for the selected works section. How about something like:
ALT1: ... that former child refugee Ann Beaglehole has become an expert in refugee history? Sources: [2][3]
If that doesn't suit, please feel free to suggest improvements or let me know and I'll keep thinking. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:44, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
I think this hook works so I approve this. Onegreatjoke (talk) 23:12, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
@Theleekycauldron: I saw this as supported by the Read NZ article (as it relates to her published work/awards). If you are uneasy about saying she's an expert without the exact word being used, how about the following alt wording for the hook, which I think still gets at the 'hooky' part:
ALT1a: ... that former child refugee Ann Beaglehole has become a historian specialising in refugee history? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chocmilk03 (talk • contribs) 23:36, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
