A fact from Waka Nathan appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 October 2021 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that Waka Nathan was nicknamed "the Black Panther" by a French newspaper reporter who was impressed by his ability to pursue opponents like the animal?
He was nicknamed the "Black Panther" when he was at his prime. There was a funny article in the news at the time titled "Black Panther swaps diet from meat to beer" . He was employed as a meat worker, but then got offered a job to work with public relations and sales in the distribution of the local brew. —Preceding

Hi
Bloom6132, review follows: More than 5x since his 24 September death (checked against
this version) and nominator has been the major contributor (a number of others contributed but the article has essentially been rewritten since); article is well written; I'm not an expert on rugby sourcing but the sources used appear reliable; inline citations used throughout; hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to source cited; a QPQ has been carried out. I did a spot check for overly close paraphrasing and found no major issues but think the following two sentences could use a rewrite to move a little further from the wording used in the source:
"He notably scored a last-minute try against Canterbury, enabling his teammate Mike Cormack to convert the try and resulting in Auckland" in article and "scoring a last-minute try against Canterbury to set up his teammate Mike Cormack to convert the try" from the NZ Herald
"Nathan proceeded to debut for the New Zealand Māori in the same year and played for the team until 1966" in article and "He went on to debut for the New Zealand Māori in the same year appearing for the team until 1966." in the Herald
