A fact from Mere (weapon) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 9 November 2010 _{(check views)}. The text of the entry was as follows: "Did you know

... that a Mere (held by a Māori woman in picture), which was made from jade, could be used to split a man's head open?"

It may be nice to have a photo perhaps? 75.17.209.129 04:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Done (at long last :)) Sladew (talk) 09:32, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Well it got over 14,000 hits on the day. Very well done Victuallers (talk) 11:07, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help, Victuallers. I'm quite pleased with the DYKs. Sladew (talk) 10:16, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

[edit] other Maori weapons/clubs

I think there should be an entry about Maori weapons, linked also to "club (weapon)". Other examples include taiaha, patu, wahaika, tewhatewha. I'm a newbie so leave this to someone else. I came across information about these weapons while translating for a museum in the Netherlands. djdutch 14 September 2006
