Ōtaki (New Zealand electorate) → Otaki (New Zealand electorate) — Some official sources appear to spell this with simple "O", not with the diacritic:

I'm not sure where how that name was determined as there are no sources given that use it. I'd have moved this myself, but as I am at best only marginally familiar with NZ culture, I thought it best to check first. As there are also some official sources that do spell it with the diacritic: Ōtaki Electorate Profile. In any case, this is a little confusing. older ≠ wiser 03:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC) —older ≠ wiser 03:02, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

Move I moved the page to a more intelligible disambiguation - there shouldn't be "NZ" to represent "New Zealand" in the name of an article (unless it's a proper name, of course), and that is especially the case for a clause that is intended to clarify. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 14:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
