This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear, concise and understandable to an appropriately broad audience, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   In the Lead and Storm history, it would be best to add the year the Hurricane took effect.

   Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   The article had a "red link", if it doesn't have an article, it would be best to un-link it, per here.

   Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 01:18, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

3. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

4. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the above statement can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

No mention of Wairoa bridge

Hard to believe this is complete enough to be a GA when there is no mention of the Wairoa bridge. Nurg (talk) 23:35, 21 May 2026 (UTC)

@Nurg: - this article became a GA back in 2008, so it was a good article for the standards of 2008. If you know of information to add, please be bold and add it yourself :) ♫ Hurricanehink (talk) 21:20, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
