Talk:2004

message: Which marama (month) names should we use?
As noted on Talk:Rārangi marama, the experts disagree on what the names ARE. Also, the "English-looking" names are generally shorter and therefore easier to use (and easier for us Pākehā to remember). We could use "both" - but it makes the page look a bit cluttered. Before long we will have pages for individual months, which will need linking to, and so it goes on... - :Robin Patterson 01:12, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
It may, of course, be quite some time before we have enough content even in the recent years to want to bother having separate articles for specific months of specific years. But an article for each month (listing events throughout history) is OK initially - see Pepuere, for example. Robin Patterson 07:27, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

message: The format for individual years is being gradually improved (with help from the English version). If creating a new "year", copy what you can of the formatting from one of the recent years, eg 2004, which are the most likely to have the latest enhancements while I'm doing most of them.

message: Now (11 August 2004) moving into here most of what was on the "Message" page:
(I'll be perfectly happy if anyone really wants to organise categories; but adding significant Maori language content can be done without using the new category software.) 
Here, as a starter for ideas on categories, which can be created as simple lists or articles, is the Table of Contents from the Simple English page: 
1 Biography
1.1 Musicians
1.2 Explorers
1.3 Inventors and scientists
1.4 Writers and thinkers
1.5 Political persons
1.6 Modern international politicans & leaders
1.7 Others
2 Literature
3 Countries:
4 Domestics
4.1 Beverage
5 Geography
5.1 Other regions
5.2 Other
5.3 Cities

7 Politics
8 Human issues
9 International
10 Religion
11 Popular Culture
12 Science
13 Language
14 Architecture
15 Mathematics
16 Anatomy
17 Sport
18 Technology
19 Disasters
20 Colors

THESE ARE ALL NAMES OF MAORI SONGS WRITTEN BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR."
Problem with the above comment (after reading "AND" as "and/or") is that it applies to every song ever written. Maybe the writer meant something like "... written '''shortly''' before ..."
But let's keep the overall list for readers who know the first word or two of the name of a song but have no idea when or why it was written. I'm planning to add some more song titles to the list. I will remove the above comment, because it's technically meaningless even for the existing songs on the list and, even with the "shortly" added, it might become incorrect once more songs were added (eg someone might add a very old one).

Talk:Rārangi iwi

message: What's here came from the map in the Reed Pocket Dictionary, with the addition of Te Atiawa, who figure in the top 10 by membership. 
The Confederation website shows many more tribes than what we currently have here. Should we include them? 
Legislation currently before Parliament adds two hapu to the list of separate "iwi" for purposes of the fisheries assets allocation. Should we include them? Robin Patterson 02:09, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Now added more, so as to include most of the iwi listed by Statistics New Zealand. Those are based on what individuals told the census authorities, so are clearly at least as valid as any dictionary map.
(Still a few to add, and several macrons needed.) Robin Patterson 22:34, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Where do we draw the line?

message: Some of the iwi cannot get very accurate numbers for a particular census date. Reasons include:
# Respondents could list as many different origins as they wished. One notes that some of the people appearing on Whakaata Māori have three tribal links shown below their names.
# Respondents were asked to specify the locality of the iwi. Some did not, and are listed as "unspecified location". If one adds those to the numbers who specified a location for the iwi of that name, there will be some double-counting based on point "1" above.
A few of the iwi named on the Reed map have no figures from published Statistics New Zealand material. A couple of those have names similar to Stats names.

I'm sure some users of this site would prefer it to be ALL in te Reo Māori. Personally, I don't mind, but I know very little Māori, and the site is not designed to benefit people like me in any direct way. Te reo Māori preferable for articles, definitely; but Pākehā better than nothing, because some visitors may be good at translating but not inspired to write fresh material. Robin Patterson 18:59, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Tūmanako

message: For a moment, when writing the article, I thought it might be helpful to provide an explanation of how Māori words have been adopted into New Zealand English (en_NZ). Later I had second thoughts: perhaps it would be better to show how English words have influenced Māori, ie, loan words, eg, "miraka", and the more recent trend of finding an appropriate term, eg, "waka rererangi".
If the Ingarei page is the only one in English, there's probably no way non-te reo speakers are going to find it. :-)

## use more internal links (eg on Wikipedia:Kōrero and Community portal) to bring people to this article

**I don't really understand this answer Robin - I see you added the names, why did you choose them and where did the list come from?  I'm not really sure what to tell this lady at the moment -- Sannse 20:58, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
***I added those names because they were people who appeared on television or in a newspaper, listing Ngapuhi as one of their tribal affiliations (as is the Maori custom). Not for me to judge whether they are all really encyclopaedic in terms of their influence in the tribe or in Aotearoa/New Zealand (though some of them definitely are). Maybe if the list gets to over 100 I'll invite members of the tribe (who number over 100,000) to ensure that only important people get added from then on. For now, with so little material on the site, I tend to add anything I have the energy to add if it seems to have any public value. As an aside, I wonder whether this lady is definitely the one listed (in which case I would very much to talk to her), or is there perhaps just a coincidence of names?

****That's great, thanks for the explanation.  It may be a coincidence of names, but from the context I'm almost certain it isn't.

Talk:Santiago de Compostela

message: Excellent work from our Galician member! Me gustan todos![?] I suspect that more than half of the people who speak Māori and saw that contribution would not realise that that had been created by someone who does not.
I added the country ("whenua") and used the term "taone nui" for the city. "Taone" is a transliteration of "town". "Nui" means big; and when you add "-nga" (meaning "-ness") to it you get "bigness" or "size"; then add the word "tāngata" (the plural of "tangata" - one of under a dozen Māori words to change form for the plural) for "people", and you get "Population". Good deductions!
Any chance of giving us a page for Pāniora based on "Hapana"? ("Waiata whakamoemiti" means "national anthem".)

Tēnā, whakaputaina ō whakaaro ki Wikipedia:Kōrero. Nō reira, tēnā tātou katoa Kahuroa 04:24, 13 Poutū-te-rangi 2007 (UTC)
