Successsion

Re anthem on New Zealand—You're correct, succession is instant, however in a legal sense the anthem does not change until the official proclamation. That has been well documented through national news and has become common knowledge as of late. Carolina2k22 • (talk) • (edits) 07:50, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

Theses

Not sure why you decided to revert a citation to a source as strong as a PhD thesis, especially when the two other citations for the same point were very weak, but just fyi, a thesis is a gold-standard source. It's the product of years of research and undergoes examination by experts in the field, which is more than can be said for most sources cited on Wikipedia (including many books). I'm a professional historian of NZ, and I can affirm that much of the best work on NZ history is contained in theses; unlike larger countries, theses are often not turned into books. Please do not make such reversions in future. Axver (talk) 14:00, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

@Axver: In the Profession I trained in theses are always treated as unpublished maybe this has coloured my view. But maybe you over-estimate the value and rigor of many of the theses produced. And unpublished does make them rather problematic on Wikipedia. Much of the things on Wikipedia can be rather counter intuative. Let me ask you this is I was writing a PHD thesis and I included the justification for a detail such as this to someone else's thesis what do you think the university would say. I don't believe that they would consider this to be OK and thus I question such references in Wikipedia also, it certainly isn't as you make out strong.

My disquiet about this is that Poneke is so obviously a transliteration of Port Nicholson transliterations were very very common at the time, trying to makout that there is some mystical other indigenous word that the word eminates from is really and truely in bizarre land, just think about it for a while and let it sink in. Just do that and see who such bizarre thought is hurting. Maungapohatu (talk) 05:33, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Disruptive Editing

Please stop your disruptive editing.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691, you may be blocked from editing. 46.183.103.8 (talk) 19:59, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Yeti_Airlines_Flight_691. 46.183.103.8 (talk) 20:06, 16 January 2023 (UTC)

46.183.103.8 Please read WP:BLP we all have an obligation to ensure BLP issues do not get into the encyclopaedia and there is some doubt about the validity of the video. Also you are continually reverting a valid reference from a well respected and knowldgable aviation journalist. Maungapohatu (talk) 20:12, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
