thread_title:  Original research 

message: No, it is not original research; everything mentioned in this section is taken from various historical accounts.   However it is an attempt to summarise the situation in the months immediately following the war.   There has been in NZ for many years an assumption that the war was between the British and the Maori, it wasn't that clear cut at the time.  Secondly there is still an assumption that the British won the war because they won the subsequent peace,  ie took all the land and disenfranchised the Maori.  However that is looking at it from one perspective only; and down the wrong end of the telescope of history.   Did the Maori who fought for Hone Heke and Kawiti feel they had lost the war?    Somehow I doubt it.    Perhaps questioning the received truth/version is original research; but then perhaps that is the function of historians.   Which I am not, just a Wikipedian trying to keep the questions open. ping 07:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

message: No separate article has been written, but from the dead end link I assume means someone thinks there should be one.  I can do a quick article, but someone else would do it better.  In the mean time, I've added some photosWinstonwolfe 23:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The article is not far from B class. If somebody with knowledge of the subject and the sources provided suitable inline citations for all major points, it could be elevated. Schwede66 19:11, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed the listing of the USA as a "belligerent" in this conflict.  The article's only mention of any direct US involvement is in aiding the evacuation of Kororareka.  There is no mention of any combat role of the US military. -Helvetica (talk) 20:46, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I was unable to find any other sources for Battle of the Sticks. It's possible that some sort of battle happened but with inaccurate record-keeping. I tried mapping out the location of Heke's and Nene's pas and found no sign of a Taumata-Karamu hill between them. The same source that is cited also says that Heke's pa was named Puketutu where in reality, it was a pa at Puketutu. Richienb (talk) 08:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

message: The belligerents section of the infobox lists  (sure), and . Isn’t “Māori” a bit misleading here? As far as I can tell, only Ngāpuhi were involved. Obviously the infobox demands a style that isn’t always suited, but I’m out of my area of expertise on both this topic and military articles in general. — HTGS (talk) 23:41, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
