@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).

@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)[reply]
@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)[reply]
