1839?

[edit]

Ara says: ...on 15 June 1839 letters patent were issued in London altering the definition of the boundaries of New South Wales to include “any territory which is or may be acquired in sovereignty by Her Majesty … within that group of Islands in the Pacific Ocean, commonly called New Zealand”.[1] The acquiring of course, came later via the Treaty of Waitangi. Note that this whole "English settlement" section was added in 2010 with this edit, which seems to be pushing an agenda. Snori (talk) 09:21, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bully Hayes section

[edit]

Regarding the Bully Hayes restaurant renaming in response to the George Floyd protests, I think this article might not be the best place for it. I;ll instead put it in the George Floyd protests in New Zealand section. The article doesn't reference the George Floyd protests but will find one that does that. Here is the passage in case people wanted to give their ideas or feedback:

On 9 June 2020, the Akaroa restaurant "Bully Hayes Restaurant" announced that it would be changing its name due to its namesake William "Bully" Hayes' involvement in blackbirding in the Pacific during the late 19th century.[1]

I agree. Should have taken a photo of that restaurant yesterday as I was in Akaroa. Schwede66 04:05, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with that proposal too. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 07:21, 15 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ōnuku vs Onuku

[edit]

In the edit summary of your revert, Traumnovelle, you state: Please read the source before altering locations and words. Is this in reference to the June 1988 journal article in Historic Places in New Zealand? If yes, please note that it's ridiculous to base decisions on macrons on a 1988 source. Personally, I have no view on whether a macron should be included; I'm just addressing the (potential) weakness of your argument. Schwede66 04:25, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My edit summary was with regards to the location and non-denominational versus undenominational. Traumnovelle (talk) 05:29, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
So why did you change the macrons, Traumnovelle? Schwede66 09:46, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Because the church's name is a proper noun. Traumnovelle (talk) 09:53, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
