Talk:Makatea

message: "Aurora" means "Island of Recreation"? No, she was the Roman goddess of the dawn. Or the glow in the sky from particle interactions between the solar wind, Earth's magnetic field, and the upper atmosphere.

message: Could someone correct the meaning of Mākatea? "Mā" doesn't have any other sense than "pure" only. Then, "k" in "-katea" isn't there for euphony, but just the equivalent of the hard ‘.

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: moved. WP:NATURALDIS was brought up in the sole oppose !vote based on the "é" with an accent. However, it was pointed out that the usage of the accent is not consistent in English-language sources, and there appears to be a consensus that the accent is not a sufficient disambiguator.

Talk:Nation building

message: I agree, state-building and nation-building should remain distinct, but with links to each other. State-building is about building the capacity of a state, primarily but not limited to political, economic, media, and security apparatus. Nation-building is about creating an identity and state-capacity to promote the identity, etc. The fact in the US we still frequently consider state and nation as synonyms should not carry into this particular discussion, save commentary on such. 
Further, nation-building, as the entry implies, is generally the goal of a forceful entry, generally uninvited, to stop violence based on socio-ethnic-religious tensions. An intervention, as the article implies, is based on politico-economicy structural failures. WestridgeRunner 21:27, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
