Removed your note from Māori migration canoes

Nevers, mon vieux ami, je suis desolé, mais I took your note out of the References section beside Walter and Moeka'a because it doesn't relate to the topic of the article: "Most of these materials had already been published in the Journal of the Polynesian Society in 1919 and 1920, translated by S.P. Smith. This edition is a re-translation of these materials with few inedit manuscripts from the same original narrator. Te Ariki Tara 'Are was a mataiapo and a descent of a famous ta'unga of the Takitumu tribe (Rarotonga)." The only material from History and Traditions of Rarotonga that is quoted from in the article is from the Preface (dated 2000) by Richard Walter and Rangi Moeka'a, not the material published in the JPS in 1920-1.

oui, c'est vrai, c'était moi. The preface talks about Smith's disproved theory about the Great Fleet, and is therefore applicable to the topic of the article. Kahuroa 11:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, do what you want, it doesn't really matter anyway. Kia kite. Nevers

Images on Commons

I have tagged for renaming some of the images you uploaded to commons - a bot will take care of it in a few days. Just that some of them had numeric names which is against commons convention. I think the bot will also take care of updating the pages where the images are used. By the way I may translate some of your articles from Fr onto En Kāhuroa (talk) 18:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the help. I didn't know this convention.Nevers (talk) 07:39, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Affair JPK

Thanks for the heads up Nevers!

In fact, I have a google news/web alert for JPK and got that one as it came through - you can see the article I wrote about Flosse suing here:

TAHITI: Flosse threatens to sue over 'JPK' doco http://www.pmc.aut.ac.nz/niusbeat/080626_Flosse.shtml

I am not a French speaker but I can get a fair translation from a kind of 3D approach - a rough draft from Google translate, then a follow up search on uncertain terms in the other Google Translate service which seeks similar terms and how they are used in existing media, along with a final check on WordReference.com. Comments from real French speakers about inaccuracies very welcome!

But if you come across any transcripts regarding that doco, then that would be most helpful!

thanks,

Translation

ia ora na Lauren,

Very helpful. And encouraging that my 3D approach seems to be working okay for translation. Your dictionary looks very authentic, and comprehensive, always good to have more resources.

It would be a pleasure to respond to your invitation to add more to the Cook Islands politics. So far I have not had the temerity to add anything more than a few minor edits. Is it okay, do you think, to add sentences and paras straight into the Cook Islands politics page, or should I post draft sentences to the talk page first?

Your continued guidance much appreciated. maururu,

jason''

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Nevers. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Nevers~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation
