[edit] Wanganui shouldn't have an 'h' in it.
As one who has very strong ties to Wanganui, I still regard the 'Whanganui' spelling as incorrect, & that spelling has very strong racist overtones. The people of Wanganui weren't consulted over the spelling change anyway! - (Aidan Work 05:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC))
- As one who also has very strong ties to Wanganui, I would prefer that someone other than you, anyone else, appointed themselves the defender of the faith. This talk page is for Wanganui the area/district. Note the spelling, without the "h" which you are bitching about. Also, when you claim that "the people of Wanganui weren't consulted" you reveal very clearly where "very strong racist overtones" exist. Iwi were consulted (among others) but it is obvious to me they are not among your "people of Wanganui". What was that about "racist overtones"? Moriori 07:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Moriori,the proposal should have been put to a referendum, but Parliamentonly consulted a racist faction from the 2 Maori nations, which to me, smacks of racism. Jim Bolger caused a lot of anger among the people of Wanganui, especially in light of doing nothing to end the illegal occupation of Moutoa Gardens. My family are in agreement with me that Tariana Turia & Ken Mair should have been shot for their parts in trying to cause a bloodbath, which decent-minded British New Zealanders & Maoris certainly do not want! - (Aidan Work 03:27, 6 December 2005 (UTC))
- Has it ever occurred to you what POV means? Turia and Mair should have been shot? For trying to cause a bloodbath? You should recuse yourself from editing any Wikipedia articles re New Zealand. Also, can you pay attention just for a little while? You inserted the subhead here which says Wanganui shouldn't have an "h" in it. How many times do you need to be told that the word Wanganui doesn't have the "h" in it. Got that? It doesn't have an "h" in it. Moriori 06:10, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- Moriori, the debate is in reference to both the river & the national park, not the town! The idea that I should be banned from editing any New Zealand-related article is just plain ridiculous! What is wrong with expressing a viewpoint on a talk page? I have met Tariana Turia personally, & was racially abused by her & threatened by her low-life gang member pals when I was involved in opposing the illegal occupation of Moutoa Gardens. Boy, you are very forgetful. - (Aidan Work 01:51, 8 December 2005 (UTC))
- Firstly, for the last time, this page is Talk:Wanganui. It is NOT in reference to "both the river & the national park, not the town" as you claim. Please read the name at the top of this page. Secondly, regarding my suggestion that you should recuse yourself from editing NZ related articles, I am even more convinced that you place Wikipedia in a perilous position. You have asserted that a (now) NZ Member of Parliament should have been shot for trying to cause a bloodbath. I wonder how Wikipedia could ever try to defend your statement, which it "published", that this MP tried to "cause a bloodbath". Moriori 06:28, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
