Where did this version of the Maui myth come from? It is not what I've heard.

"The Pandyas of South India were obsessed with naming their land parts too based on fish parts." - is this relevant to this article? RickK 02:44 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

No, and stupid to boot. - Montréalais 06:38, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • The chopped-up fish story is pretty much in line with what I remember reading. :robinp 08:27, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

It needs more towns. Someone could start with the local government page.:robinp 21:19, 19 Feb 2004 (UTC)

ALTERNATIVELY - we already have a page called List of towns in New Zealand, so maybe we should use it as the only long list, adding "SI" to the end of the (smaller number of) towns that are South Island?:robinp 21:16, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I originally added the list of towns. However now I think that it is probably not a good idea to have such a list on this article as there are just so many. I think only of cities and regions should be listed. Then the towns can be listed in each region article. See Waikato for an example of such a list. -- Popsracer 13:01, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I agree that it is probably not a good idea to try to have a comprehensive list within this article. I like Robin's alternative suggestion to add an North Island/South Island indicator to the List of towns in NZ. Bkonrad | Talk
