Talk:2006 Kapa O Pango controversy

A fact from 2006 Kapa O Pango controversy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 August 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the 2006 Kapa O Pango controversy is due to a throat-slitting gesture at the end of the All Blacks traditional haka performance?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/August.

Wikipedia

too one-sided

I took the liberty to add to the starting § by stating the percentage that was in favour of the cut throat gesture. Whatever one might think of Kapa O Pango - a Wiki-article needs to be neutral, which is not the case with this one. It has a negative touch to it. Hope that my additions are okay with the rest of you guys. Cheers Pakuranga, 3rd August 2006

I actually removed that bit and just added to total percentage of support. Readers can read down for more information. I hope this is still one sided.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 13:02, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

South African Perspective

There has been large mention of New Zealand and Australian media and public reaction to the new haka, as well as small mention of the English reaction. However could someone please dig up something on the South African response, I recall the Smit said he was honoured to have it performed to his team. Shudda ^talk 01:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

French reaction as well. Laport i believe had some things to say about it. Considering France is probably the only nation that could beat us at the moment, maybe we should include what he said.Allblacks91 16:08, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- - I will add something today or tomorrow.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 03:18, 19 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've added an International reaction section; feel free to expand and copyedit as needed. --Muchness 09:04, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Haka of the All Blacks

I propose this be merged with Haka of the All Blacks. - Shudda ^talk 04:48, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. We will have a nice looking articlce over att Haka of the All Blacks if we merge this. Then all the info we need will be in one place. Considering there is not even an article for Kapo O Pango, then there shouldnt be one for this. Merge!Narrasawa 09:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My, put it to requested merges or what ever its called here.--Hamedog_Talk|^@ 12:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Already seems to be a general consensus. I have put the relevant tags on the articles and will see if anyone shows up in the next few days with any protests, otherwise I will merge away. AIRcorn (talk) 07:48, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
