Belated message re Te Teira
[edit]Kia ora! That source I added to Te Teira Manuka was attributed to him since it appeared to contain a large quote from him in which he discussed his ancestry at length. Did I reference it incorrectly? Dhantegge (talk) 12:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I wasn't quite sure if you were trying to reference the document Te Teira printed, or the quote within the newspaper. The newspaper is a better source, because it shows his claim of the right to sell the land is accepted. Your reference was therefore correct.-Gadfium (talk) 19:01, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Tuheitia
[edit]Kia ora,
Ive started a discussion on the talk page for Tūheitia Paki to move it to "Tuheitia". The late king was rarely referred to with his birth surname, and also - crucially - "Tuheitia" isnt actually spelt with a macron. The only instance i can see it being spelt with one is on Te Aka, which would in any other instance be a reliable source. But Māori media, international media, local media, and Waikato Tainui all refer to him as "Tuheitia", without the macron. Dhantegge (talk) 10:19, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
