I don't know anything about the subject, but I've gone through and fixed the formatting a bit, and removed a lot of typos, fixed some punctuation, etc. This article's still far from being understandable to the average reader, though. There are quite a few sentences that didn't make sense to me so I've let them be.

Hopefully the explanation of specific Maori terms and additional linking information has lead to the article making more sense to non New Zealand readers. Claudia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.62.226.243 (talk) 22:12, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Rewi Maniapoto's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:53, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think I can see which articles they were taken from and I have those books. It may indeed have been me who created the original citations in the other articles. I'll fix it tomorrow. BlackCab (TALK) 10:39, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Easier than I thought. That's fixed. BlackCab (TALK) 11:06, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
