Talk:Hutt Valley campaign

message: The infobox proclaims a British victory is that really the best interpretation? Does the infobox actaully need an interpretation? Stuartyeates (talk) 23:45, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: In this conflict the British were victorious. Not only did they finally untangle the question of genuine land ownership but perhaps more importantly they discovered the duplicitous nature of Te Rauaparaha. By the time of the Hutt Valley Campaign the government was starting to realise that Maori were not as politically naive as they had initially thought. Te Rauparaha had been let off the hook over the Wairau massacre as the British simply did not have the military resouces and the hard evidence to capture him. When the intercepted his letters to his cousin his real position was finally revealed. He was captured in short order in a surprise attack on july 23 by the British. He was imprisoned for 18 months but his health was very poor. He spent the last 8 months living in Auckland. The threat to Hutt Valley had passed and he was released. He died on 27 Nov 1849.

replies: text: I would have thought that this was only a British military success at the time. The subsequent decisions of the Waitangi Tribunal would suggest that Maori were in the right, legally. To characterise the British as being victorious implies a non-neutral point of view and is now somewhat offensive in light of subsequent Treaty Settlements between Maori and the Crown. While the British militarily overcame Maori resistance, the outcome of the treaty negotiations show that the Crown now accepts that the British were in the wrong in the first place. The battle may have been won in the field, but subsequently lost at the negotiating table. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 23:17, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:East Cape War

message: User:Gob Lofa has three times changed the infobox and text of the article to say the outcome of the East Cape War was a British victory  on the basis that "even by 1866 only a fraction of the British force could have been born in NZ. The majority were British-born." 
Premier Frederick Weld introduced the policy of military self-reliance in 1864. When forces were sent into the East Coast area to exterminate the Pai Marire movement, they were drawn — probably entirely — from colonial (New Zealand) units, as well as kupapa Maori, and those units are all identified in the infobox. The country had been run for a decade by a "responsible government" and British forces were already in the process of being returned. The British were not involved in this conflict at all. BlackCab (TALK) 08:16, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Rubbish. The settlers identified as British. If you want to emphasise that they weren't part of the regular British military that's fine, but I'm not allowing you to pretend there was only one government in NZ.

Talk:Kew, Victoria

message: I only recently discovered the Sackville Ward, after living in Kew for the past 10 years, in the Wikipedia entry for Kew.
Initially I googled the 'Sackville Ward' and found a couple of hits with Real Estate websites I thought that it might just exist. Then I decided to look up the 2006 census report on the income of those living within the ward -- I can only conclude that it doesn't really seem to have any real effect on the houses -- and therefore those living in them. One would expect a raised level of income due the expense of the houses within the regions bounds. 
It may contain some fantastic examples of Victorian Buildings but the vast majority of the households do not appear to have an effect on this area. An example of Real Estate agents attempting to creating a high value area? There is no mention of this off Real Estate sites...

replies: text: Up to you - a representative shot of part of the suburb, or a shop or other feature in the district, or whatever - depends really on what's there :) Looking at the Melway - a shot of the parklands alongside Maribyrnong River, possibly from the lookout near McShane Drive (which looks out onto the wetlands) might be a good one, or alternatively just a shot from the same lookout over the suburb itself. If you're not near that area, a shot into the suburb from one of the main roads would also work, I've done that sort of thing before. Orderinchaos 10:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
