[edit] Maori fortifications

Hi Geronimo20 - how about including Maori fortifications as well? I think quite a few of the coastal pa would also count as coastal fortifications - with the same military use (controlling coastal trade and coastal land) as the European versions.

In any case, nice to know people are still tackling big ones on Wikipedia ;-) Happy editing. Ingolfson (talk) 22:40, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. There are about 6000 known Māori fortifications, I don't know how many coastal. I'm sure there is interesting stuff there - maybe an article in it own right since the current one is already long and incomplete. But I don't know enough about it. What about you? In the meantime, a note at least acknowledging Māori coastal fortifications would be good. --Geronimo20 (talk) 02:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yellow forts

The "Historic Russian scare forts are colour coded yellow" but should also be marked so they can be identified on black and white pages. Maybe attach the same <ref name=RussianScare /> note to each. -- SEWilco (talk) 16:54, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
