Nga wai hono i te Po

I know the impulse to go fast and be first, but don't go too fast on this topic. You've made a mistake on her birth name. Nurg (talk) 23:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

ok TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

could you change it if you know what it is, i just put what i thought rnz was saying TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

Her birth name is at the start of the family section. Puhi Ariki is her prev title, I think, but I like to check facts first, and then write, not the other way round. Nurg (talk)

Don't go too fast on the orthography of her name either. You've used two so far. There are numerous variations, so it may take time and discussion to figure out the best form. Nurg (talk) 23:29, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

yeah i saw the source updated how they were spelling it so i updated it with that, yeah we probably need a discussion to figure it out - i think there's inconsistency rising from waikato vs general maori spellings TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

There's a number of factors. A) it's a complicated name (b) the issue of how to write the long vowels (c) Waikato orthography peculiarities (d) and more. Nurg (talk) 23:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

I was comfortable with the first form you used. It is used in an official announcement - https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1054686259361452&set=pcb.1054686282694783. Not that we necessarily use official names. Nurg (talk) 23:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)

And the Facebook announcement seems to be inconsistent about macrons and double vowels. This Spinoff piece is better with macrons, but can't settle on whether "Te" is capitalised or not. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 02:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know about the infobox!

yeah nah yeah, you haven't done anything wrong, its just several other people (me included haha) had the same idea and saw conflicting edits so I started a discussion on it, usually for articles that get less traffic its not a problem, cheers TheLoyalOrder (talk) 05:15, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
