On the establishment of the seats: a parliamentary research paper. Kahuroa ( talk) 02:50, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
According to its page, Hauraki was a general electorate. -- Helenalex ( talk) 10:59, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
It's a nice and detailed article, but it severely lacks referencing. I've been weighing up between reassessing it as Start or C class, and have settled on C class. I've made a start improving things by introducing inline references in areas that I'm working in. Schwede 66 19:45, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Māori seats → Māori electorates — 'Seats' is the colloquial name for 'electorates'. None of the other 300 or so electorates uses 'seat' for disambiguation where one is required. The main article is New Zealand electorates, the relevant category is Category:New Zealand electorates, the templates are called Template:Electorates of New Zealand and Template:Historic electorates of New Zealand. This one is the odd one out. Schwede 66 20:07, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
Is it true that "Surprisingly, only 40% of the potential population registered on the Māori roll"? There should be no assumption Maori would chose one way or the other. The use of the word "surprising" is possibly POV. I recommend instead either deleting the word, or saying that "contrary to the expectations of many".
I doubt that many Maori chosing to join a general role "reduced the number of calls for the abolition of Māori electorates, as many presumed that Māori would eventually abandon the Māori electorates of their own accord". I do not recall any such debate at the time. In fact this would be a reason to abolish the seats, since the fewer the number of Maori voters, the greater in inequality of numbers - the number of Maori voters per seat was considerably less then for general seats. The number of Maori seats has now been increased, further increasing the inequality. 125.237.105.102 ( talk) 21:48, 27 September 2014 (UTC)

I've just reverted this edit. It is historically incorrect to show macrons where they were never in use, e.g. the 1867 Maori Representation Act and the four original Māori electorates (Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern). I do not think that it is appropriate to introduce macrons where they were historically never in use. There are some general electorates where macrons were introduced and from that point onwards, it is appropriate to make use of them. Of those, Ōhāriu is an interesting case in point. First formed in 1978, one macron was introduced years later and the second one came later again. Schwede 66 03:44, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
I have noticed that in one of the longest section of the article, "Calls for abolition", there are only 10 sources cited in total. The information being presented is just being stated, without any ability for readers or editors to fact-check. There are clear dates and information stated, but where are they coming from? - Sneeweed ( talk) 06:07, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
