Talk:Māori culture

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article contains spelling errors, inaccuracies, but most seriously is very limited in scope.

---

Most of the spelling mistakes are gone. The inaccuracies are those of emphasis rather than fact. It is limited in scope because it is a huge subject, megabytes. "English Culture" is described in Wikipedia under many different articles and Maori Culture, and I don't mean singing and concerts, is fully as complex. Concepts such as Wairua, Muru, Utu, Whakama, Whakapapa, Tangata Whenua, Tapu and many others all need explanation. A very difficult article to write properly. Meanwhile this is a good start. ping 08:16, 11 Sep 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Duplication of articles

There is a quite a lot of duplicated content between this article and the Māori article (which also has similar problems of tone and content etc.) There are also some other more specifically titled articles/stubs, eg, the one about Haka - (a topic mentioned here and in the Māori article).

I'm thinking that the Māori article - with its non-specific title - should be something like a disambiguation page that contains links to specific articles like Māori culture, Māori language, Haka, Māori music, Religion. This article here seems to have fallen asleep - it isn't as easy to find, whereas the Māori article is.

Anyone object if I gradually move stuff out of Māori into the more specific articles? Kahuroa 19:58, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

What you suggest seems very sensible to me. Bucketsofg 18:43, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
