Kia Ora
[edit]Have seen your name around a lot, so I've left you a message on the talk page of the Colony of New Zealand regarding the transition from nominative sovereignty to substantive sovereignty, which is greatly discussed by historians. Arguably, the article at present reflects somewhat of a one-sided view which implies wrongly that the Colony's establishment was considered absolutely legitimate at the time, with substantive sovereignty from 1841. This is at odds with a good 50 years of historiography, so I was wondering whether you could review my suggestion. Ngā mihi nui. Dhantegge (talk) 07:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
The IP is at it again
[edit]Am I correct in remembering that you wrote a SQL query to find edits made by that IP who likes to remove macrons? He/she is at it again, currently using Manawatu Gorge. In the past few days it has happened on Canyon, List of mountain passes and Te Apiti. ―Panamitsu (talk) 00:22, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- I do have an SQL query, which I run periodically, but it rarely finds anything because the anon has changed the edit summaries they use. insource is a more effective method of finding misspellings.-Gadfium (talk) 02:04, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Belated message re Te Teira
[edit]Kia ora! That source I added to Te Teira Manuka was attributed to him since it appeared to contain a large quote from him in which he discussed his ancestry at length. Did I reference it incorrectly? Dhantegge (talk) 12:21, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
