 ==Maori== 
 Ocean going canoes were probably masted and covered most of thevoyage under sail.   See Goldie's painting, "The Arrival of the Maori in New Zealnd"  although not authentic it is probably a reasonable image of the canoe.  Similar but smaller canoes can be seen today on many Pacific Islands.However your edit does not change the sense of the articleso I left it.   Cheers 
 

 == Poor man's watchlist == 

 You're right, I forgot all about the related changes trick. So I guess technically it is possible for me to have a watchlist, if I just manually list them. Thanks for that insight. 

 There are also benefits to not having a watchlist, though, the most salient of which is that there's no watchlist to eat up all your time. This should not be underestimated. -) 

 I'm a hit-and-run editor, so watchlists don't work too well for me—I don't want to get bogged down in looking at an article because I happened to edit it a month ago, say. At present, I'm using my contribution list to keep track of my most recent edits (for the incidental discussion on talk pages et al.), and that works quite well. Thanks for the idea, though.   
 :The "words to use" issue has now been completely resolved, thanks to our collaborative editing. I removed the link to it from "words to avoid". ;-)   
 ==Vanavsos== 
 Whether the name changes or not, I have noticed your comments on the deletion page.  Can I get you to vote to "keep", no use arguing about the name if it is going to be deleted.  Thanks.  

 == Photos == 

 Yes, they bring back memories, and could almost be photos I took back in the early eighties (film back then, of course); very nice (apart from the dead goat — I'm a vegetarian).     

 == User:Vaoverland - administrator == 

 Thank you for supporting my appointment as an administrator. I appreciate the pat on the back this represents. It felt nice to read the comments during the voting. Please let me know if you see something I should be doing as admin, as I intend to be fairly passive unless it is clear I should do otherwise. Thanks. Mark in Richmond.   

 == Legal fiction == 
 The reason for putting Age of consent into Category:legal fictions is because the premise in law that an individual is unable to consent to something at one age, say 14, because they do not have the ability to understand or the "capacity" to consent and yet are able to consent at 15 is essentially arbitrary. The reality is that there is not too much different between most 14 year-olds and 15 year-olds. However, the law "pretends" that there is a difference and draws a distinction for everyone regardless of an individual's actual capacity. Thus, the age of consent is a Legal fiction. If you have any more questions or concerns, please let me know. Cheers!
