Just a comment on why I have made an update to this entry. I continually see, in various places (invariably non-authoritative or non-specialist sources) statements to the effect that Völkner was not involved in passing on intelligence to the authorities. I have placed an explicit reference in my update to one of the authoritative sources that he was in fact doing so; hopefully, the dissemination of this via Wikipedia will reduce the frequency of false ‘history’ around this subject. I have also removed some of the stuff about the Pakeha population being unduly alarmed. No doubt some were; but the fact that a slapstick farce on incidents connected with Volkner's death ran for 2 weeks on the Auckland stage soon after indicates that at least some were more sanguine ... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MisterCDE (talk • contribs) 15/05/2006.

There's a really good image at NZ History which looks old and out of copyright, and would be great to illustrate this article with, but the Turnbull Library has a note on it asking for permission to re-use. Does anyone know how that works with the GFDL? --Tirana 04:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
