[edit] Statehouse

In the second paragraph of the article the term "statehouse" appears - I assume this is like 'Housing-commision' house in Australia - i.e. a house partially providided/sponsored by the government ? Could we have clarification of what might be a local NZ term for world readers? Muzzah —Preceding unsigned comment added by Muzzah (talk • contribs) 13:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Your assumption is correct. I've wikilinked the term to our article on state housing. -- Avenue 02:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Film locations

The lede states:

The film was filmed at a local Otara statehouse, located in O'Connor street. The film was filmed entirely in this house . . .

That is not correct, is it? Were there not courtroom scenes, outdoor scenes, and a scene at the Maori settlement? Kablammo 23:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I've changed it to "...filmed primarily in this house...". -- Avenue 02:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:One Were Warriors.jpg

Image:One Were Warriors.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
