editHello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Fa'amatai. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
- Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.undp.org.ws/Portals/12/documents/samoa/publications/Stories%20Uafato.pdf
- Attempted to fix sourcing for http://www.anthropology.hawaii.edu/People/Faculty/Hunt/pdfs/Barnes_and_Hunt.pdf
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Odd phrase in "Former System of Government"
editThis line, at the end of the Former System of Government section seems to violate neutral POV:
This was just before John Williams, whose name is a shining light in the annals of missionary enterprise, visited Samoa for the first time. A bloody war ensued and A'ana's power was broken and the district laid waste.
I'm assuming that this is taken verbatim from the footnoted source. If so, at the very least it should be indicated as a quotation. But even then, this reads like a hagiography of this "John Williams", and a very slanted view of a historic event.208.163.133.252 (talk) 18:18, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
- Clearly a subjective opinion, and without citation. I just removed the "shining light" claim.
- I'll leave it to someone better read on the subject to consider whether John Williams should be mentioned here at all — also, it seems, without citation.
