[edit] Hyphens in Te Ika-a-Māui and Te Waka-a-Māui

Why are Te Ika-a-Māui and Te Waka-a-Māui written with hyphens? We don't have New-Zealand, South-Island or Te Wai-Pounamu. If hyphens were to be used they should be consistent, ie, Te-Ika-a-Māui and Te-Waka-a-Māui. Can we take the hyphens out? Nurg (talk) 05:38, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Sure. I don't know why they were there in the first place. --Helenalex (talk) 00:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
