Maewa Kaihau
- ... that New Zealand composer Maewa Kaihau (pictured) sold her rights to the song "Now is the Hour" for £10, a decade before it became a hit in the United Kingdom and United States? Source: [1] is the source for the 1935 sale of the rights for £10; [2] [3] are sources for the overseas success of the song in the 1940s.

- Comment: Not sure if the image works at 100px due to the damage to the original, but included as an option. Grateful for any suggestions for improvement, to the hook or article. Thanks!

In this case, the hook fact must be added to the article (or a different hook proposed), and the image either added to the article or removed from this nomination. In my opinion, the image is fine as is for DYK. Mindmatrix 14:55, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Mindmatrix: thanks for taking a look! Just to clarify, do you mean that the hook & image need to be added to "Now Is the Hour (song)" as well? They're already in Maewa Kaihau which is the article that I'm looking to nominate (at least, the image definitely is and I think the hook is). Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 19:08, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Chocmilk03: Nah, I goofed. I completely missed the link to the subject and only saw the one for "Now Is the Hour (song)", which I interpreted to be the subject. So, uh, just ignore me. Mindmatrix 19:16, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Mindmatrix: ahaha, phew. I initially thought that was the case then started overthinking it wondering if there was an obscure DYK rule I had missed somewhere. :D Chocmilk03 (talk) 19:48, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
