Talk:Capital punishment in New Zealand

Untitled

It would be interesting to know how many of the executed were Maori. Rmhermen 04:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Point taken. When I have time, I'll incorporate a list of the eighty five executed individuals, so you can see for yourself.

As there is now a page entitled List of people executed in New Zealand, there would seem to have been twenty four Maori in all, judging from the names listed. User: Calibanu 14.22, 23 April 2007

Pre-Settlement

I don't suppose there's any way we could know the Maori's execution practices(?)LaFoiblesse (talk) 23:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

John Roberton, not Richard Roberton

Maketu's victims were the family of John Roberton not Richard. Sources to support this are:

Copying

At least part of this article is similar to what appears here. Does that matter? Proxima Centauri (talk) 11:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

That's a copy of this article. See Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/Stu#search.com.-gadfium 20:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Made a Set?

I don't understand the phrase "made a set" as used here: "Thomas Bull had a reputation for strength and brutality. He seemed at all times to have made a set at Maketu". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paddling bear (talk • contribs) 14:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

US drone strikes

There's now discussion in the media about the NZ government supplying GCSB data to the American drone programme; see [1] and [2]. At least one New Zealander has been killed by drones. Should this article reflect this? Schwede66 23:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Possibly more relevant in New Zealand–United States relations.-gadfium 04:12, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

It's possibly relevant there as well, but I was posting my comment here because it is argued by some that the GCSB is enabling through supplying intelligence for New Zealand citizens to be killed, and that this is no different to capital punishment. Schwede66 05:35, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

To me that sounds like a bit of a stretch, and attempts to include it in the Capital punishment article will likely run into objections based on WP:NPOV. MaxBrowne (talk) 05:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Unless there's a judge or court involved, it's Extrajudicial killing not Capital punishment. so no. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Extrajudicial killing - you learn something every day. Hadn't come across that one before. Schwede66 09:28, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
