Talk:Taranaki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not qualified to write about the Maori history of Taranaki, but the line "New Plymouth was initially settled in the early 1840s." needs change to reflect the long history before European settlement. Dramatic 05:55, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Taranaki / Egmont / "Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont"

Wasn't the mountain renamed as "Mount Taranaki or Mount Egmont" by Koro Wetere? I remember something about that. David Cannon 11:18, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

That's right. Both names are equally valid.

[edit] Suggested merge of Taranaki Regional Council into Taranaki

I've suggested this merger because all the other articles on NZ regional councils I know about cover the region as well; for example, Waikato, Manawatu-Wanganui, Hawke's Bay. I don't see any particular reason for Taranaki to be different. -- Avenue 12:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
