As far as I'm aware NZ's contribution to the 2003 Iraq war was non-existant, if any contribution has been made it would have been a non combat force. Am I correct in saying that your current government is actually against the 2003 Iraq war as well? That part needs editing. MoneyForNothing 15:56, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes, The New Zealand Government has contibuted to the Iraq war, yes. We have sent support for the war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq in relation to the elevation of United States and the occurance of terrorism, New Zealand belives the war in Iraq is a mistake, but we still side fully with the USA.

I know that that long quote is helpful information, but the way it is in the article doesn't seem to conform to wiki standards. Contralya 22:28, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Not quite sure what Contralya is referring to above, but the other day I deleted a long speech in the 1st person taken verbatim from the NZ Embassy site, which is NZ Crown Copyright, and therefore not usable on Wikipedia, at least not in the form it was inserted wholesale into the article. As well as this, there seem to be large chunks which were copied verbatim from this page on thinkingnewzealand.com (漏 2005- 2006 thinkingaustralia | All rights reserved), without attribution. But it is a bit late now to disentangle these from the text of the article. The creator of this page was a new Wikipedian, and did not know, or deliberately disregarded, the need not to plagiarise, to acknowledge your sources, and so on. He also uploaded most of the images on this page, but the majority of these have been marked as copyvios and will shortly be deleted, leaving the article somewhat the worse for wear. He also nominated this article for GA status, which is hardly appropriate given the above circumstances. Any objections if I remove the nomination as a GA until such time as the copyright issues are addressed? Kahuroa 07:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
This article need some work and I think we can all pool together to improve it.
The basic framework is in place, it just needs tweaking or rephrasing, and better sentence structures. Mombas ( talk) 10:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

In the table the race figures for New Zealand add to 100% while those for the US add to 116%. The excess might be due to people identifying in more than one category, however the same logic appears not to be being applied to the New Zealand figures. New Zealand is racially well mixed and has a considerable number of people with multiple identifications. If the two sets of figures are to be compared, the same logic should be used to construct them. Hawthorn ( talk) 23:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
This new agreement is the latest move by both parties to forming a warmer relationship

Suggest new section and revisement of article. Luke021 ( talk) 10:55, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay, I'm going to make the edit now. Since this is my first edit could you offer advice on mistakes, writing styles etc.. Thanks. Luke021 ( talk) 06:34, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Also I,m going to update the table of delegate vists. Luke021 ( talk) 19:14, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
The relations between New Zealand and the United States are "patchy". It should be pointed out that New Zealand is not an ally of the United States, like most other countries such as the UK, Canada. Australia, Israel, Turkey, Germany, Japan, Poland and Albania. Wallie ( talk) 03:07, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
References to the nuclear frigate issue are scattered throughout the article, but there needs to be an introduction and overview of this source of tension between the US and NZ, and it needs to be placed before the first mention of it (in the two ANZUS sections). 鈥 Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.213.129 ( talk) 08:52, 3 October 2011 (UTC)
I see that the article has been GA nominated. Isn't the article a bit weak on early history for that? To go from the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi to WWII is a 100-year step. What happened in between that's worth writing about? Another issue is that the lead is way too short for the length of the article. Schwede 66 17:51, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I've just tidied up this article somewhat. I removed a bunch of generic images (for instance, of the US congress and NZ parliament buildings) which weren't relevant to the article, as well as a bloated section on what seems to have been a routine or semi-routine exercise conducted by cyber security agencies in 2008. I've also corrected the material on what the US forces based in NZ did during World War II. Nick-D ( talk) 07:14, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
