Article disambiguation

edit

Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand is a rather unusually disambiguated article. What is wrong with Parnell, New Zealand? See WP:NCNZ; I suspect this will have to be moved back. Schwede66 09:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I agree and will revert my edit. For some obscure reason I thought there was another Parnell in NZ. NealeFamily (talk) 06:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Taurarua

edit

Under History, 'taurarua' is said to mean "annoying chant", but when mentioned under Judges Bay, the meaning is given as "the two ropes". Google Translate (obviously not the definitive reference to the Maori language), says Taurarua means 'double'. Other sources say taurarua means witchcraft. Can a native speaker clear this up and update the wiki? Motorracer (talk) 12:06, 30 May 2022 (UTC)Reply
