Belated message re Te Teira

Kia ora! That source I added to Te Teira Manuka was attributed to him since it appeared to contain a large quote from him in which he discussed his ancestry at length. Did I reference it incorrectly? Dhantegge (talk) 12:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't quite sure if you were trying to reference the document Te Teira printed, or the quote within the newspaper. The newspaper is a better source, because it shows his claim of the right to sell the land is accepted. Your reference was therefore correct.-Gadfium (talk) 19:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Tuheitia

Kia ora,

Ive started a discussion on the talk page for Tūheitia Paki to move it to "Tuheitia". The late king was rarely referred to with his birth surname, and also - crucially - "Tuheitia" isnt actually spelt with a macron. The only instance i can see it being spelt with one is on Te Aka, which would in any other instance be a reliable source. But Māori media, international media, local media, and Waikato Tainui all refer to him as "Tuheitia", without the macron. Dhantegge (talk) 10:19, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Possible return of recently non-constructive anon editor - claiming correcting typo - could you consider making article semi-protected again ? ChaseKiwi (talk) 19:56, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Torbay and Torbay Heights

Kia ora Gadfium, yesterday I merged the articles for Torbay and Torbay Heights (as far as I could tell there seemed very little possibility of Torbay Heights expanding any further, and the area is almost always described as a subsection of Torbay). If you've got a spare moment, would you be able to merge the demographics sections? --Prosperosity (talk) 23:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Done. I wonder if Waiake should also be merged into Torbay. The 2023 SA3 area includes it as "Torbay-Waiake". I should have access to similar levels of detail from the 2023 Census in a week, per https://www.stats.govt.nz/2023-census/2023-census-release-schedule/, and it will take me about two years to update all NZ populated places.-Gadfium (talk) 23:54, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! I feel like Waiake should probably be merged as well - it doesn't really have much of a distinct identity separate from Torbay, but it is an officially Gazetted location, so this feels like something that needs more of an in-depth discussion. --Prosperosity (talk) 00:26, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
