Ways to improve Ngapare Hopa

edit

Hi, I'm Crystallizedcarbon. Hemopereki, thanks for creating Ngapare Hopa!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please add additional references with in-depth coverage about the subject from independent reliable sources to the article to meet our verifiability and notablility requirements.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Treaty of Waitangi Revert

edit

I have reverted your addition to Treaty of Waitangi. This article has been subject to many years of poorly-developed rhetoric. It has only achieved the academic consensus (e.g. that the Treaty exists, that the document is something other than grievance) this year. Your argument - that the Treaty is something other than foundational - is not mainstream thought, so requires a new section. Be prepared to write expansively (10,000+ characters), to reference many heavily-cited works (Simon has two, which is good for a young article, but there will be older works that have more), and to engage with others who share your view (but for different reasons). Before you add the section, it would be best to pursue your argument through the Talk page. Good luck! Te Karere (talk) 21:06, 8 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Hemopereki:I have sent you this message, so that you know you have a Talk page. This is where other editors will engage with you and help you find your feet in Wikipedia. I have reverted another of your additions to Treaty of Waitangi. Wikipedia relies on consensus. "In discussions of proposals to add, modify or remove material in articles, a lack of consensus commonly results in retaining the version of the article as it was prior to the proposal or bold edit" (WP:NOCON). I recommend engaging with the community that supports this article on their Talk page. Introduce yourself as a person published in the area. Offer new citations that support existing text. Do this before adding new information, particularly if it is possible you have a conflict of interest. It will show your commitment and garner support for new additions. Te Karere (talk) 08:52, 12 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Te Karere: Kia Ora Te Karere, Thanks for your message. The problem I have with the page on The Treaty is that it is sooooooo out of date in terms of its thinking and it presents the majority viewpoint that is to say very white. It conforms to the government-led narrative. As such key Maori voices and thinkers are whitewashed out of the discussion and are not even used. The problem you have is the field, particular from Maori, is very fastly changing where viewpoints like mine, from an iwi that did not sign, are going to become normative. I can not sit around and wait for everyone to catch up to me or educate them that what they have learnt about the treaty is wrong. I am not dumb, my work is always confronting to people and I am destroying the myth that we are all treaty people, and it is most confronting to Non-Maori. The difference between my work an that of the Alt right like Don Brash or David Round etc. is mine is based in fact. The journal article I keep quoting all over wikipedia that was published in Te Kaharoa was published there on purpose. Written by an iwi researcher in a journal where the editor is a treaty expert, Paul Moon an article that was vetted by Even Poata-Smith, Whatarangi Winiata and Annette Sykes before submission. The article is the truth about the treaty but as written, because people don't understand it on Wikipedia everything I put up is/will be considered unacceptable - consensus vs academic fact.

edit

  Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Treaty of Waitangi, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". If you add content it's never a minor edit so don't mark it as such.

Nomination of Tawhanga Nopera for deletion

edit
 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tawhanga Nopera is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tawhanga Nopera until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bbarmadillo (talk) 20:06, 10 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest

edit

I notice that many of your contributions here are about yourself or quoting from your work extensively. Please see our guideline covering this at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. As it says at Wikipedia:Autobiography, "we welcome your expertise on the subject for Wikipedia articles. However, every Wikipedia article must cover its subject in a neutral, fair, and comprehensive way to advance knowledge of the subject as a whole. Please acknowledge and minimize your biases while enriching the Wikipedia readers' knowledge."-gadfium 20:50, 11 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Te Tākupu moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Te Tākupu, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Categories and Lists

edit

Looking at your edit to Category:Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi faculty, there's a technical distinction between Categories and Lists. Categories are maintained automatically by the system when editors add notes such as [[Category:Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi faculty]] to the bottom of a biography. Catsegories can thus not contain red links. Lists are hand-maintained, either as standalone articles or as sections within other articles and may contain either links to biographies which exist or links to biographies which you have a good faith belief should exist. Thus, I have moved your additions from Category:Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi faculty to Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:13, 16 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Stuartyeates @tekarere

Kia Ora sorry about that when I went to put them in I couldn't figure out how to put them below. You'll find the same with Te Wananga o Raukawa.

I'm still trying to get over the other days conversation. This platform is not just bias it is racist too. I checked out the policies and what an eye opener that was. There is also no accountability to any indigenous peoples for the knowledge they hold.

Have started writing a journal article on the topic. Nga Mihi H

The platform has deep, deep issues in many dimensions. Many of us are here because (as unlikely as it may seem) the platform has fewer issues than alternative platforms (which is pretty damning of those platforms to be honest). More than ten years ago I jumped ship from Everything2 to Wikipedia because it was a better platform and believe me I'll be happy to jump again if something better comes along. Are you interested in writing something together? Stuartyeates (talk) 21:07, 17 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
User:Hemopereki I'm serious about writing something together. I'm https://scholar.google.co.nz/citations?user=IZA8VjkAAAAJ&hl=en / https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1809-1062 and I have a history of calling out racism in peer reviewed publications, see http://www.informationr.net/ir/22-4/rails/rails1611.html from last year. Not being indigenous, however, there are limits on what I can say. With an indigenous coauthor I/we could being significantly stronger. Of course, if you want to write it up yourself let me know and I'll work on something else. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:57, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

User:Stuartyeates

Kia Ora,

I'm nearly finished the Wikipedia and racism one. However, I do want to write with you my problem is that I'm trying to finish up all these publications for my PhD which the Wikipedia one fall into my topic line. However, in saying that I am very interested in co-authoring soming on the potential of Wikipedia to facilitate intercultural understanding. That is if the rules were changed. The problem you will have with me is that I am an organic intellectual so my work goes all over the place based on a common theme and the way I write is very straight up the middle take no prisoners. Which for many Pakeha can be very alarming. We should definitely explore this more. Email me hemopereki@gmail.com

Ways to improve Mana motuhake

edit

Thanks for creating Mana motuhake.

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

Quite an interesting article. It needs more inline citations–there are currently entire paragraphs that do not have any attribution. Additionally, some of the concepts discussed could use more of an introduction for readers unfamiliar with Maori culture and NZ history: for example, the first paragraph mentions "tapu", which is not elaborated on at all.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process.

Thanks for your new article on The Kia Ora Incident. The article's statement about the incident's influence on future developments needs to be support by a better source, and I also recommend adding some text on whether the incident encourage Naida Glavish to enter politics.

Ways to improve Te Paparahi o te Raki inquiry (Wai 1040)

edit

Thanks for creating Te Paparahi o te Raki inquiry (Wai 1040).

A New Page Patroller Rosguill just tagged the page as having some issues to fix, and wrote this note for you:

The article needs more of an introduction to explain concepts for those not familiar with New Zealand history. Additionally, it currently relies too much on block quotations from sources, so much so that it constitutes a copyright violation. This content should be reworded, and then the current version should be revision-deleted

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can reply over here and ping me. Or, for broader editing help, you can talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
