Credo Mutwa on George Grey
Credo Mutwa, Sangome Zanussi of Zulu africans, also historian, claims that George Grey is the founder of apartheid and racial discrimination in Africa in the mid 1800s. He is also said to be a favoured Illuminati contributor, and is directly connected to both the submission of Australian aborigines and African indigenious people. All this can be viewed on [1] wich is an interwiev conducted by famous historian David Icke (very controversial), discusses a lot of what history has been biased by white men of power and great influence. Credo Mutwa talks about him about 3 hours and 35 minutes into the interwiev. George Grey is thus a great example of how historians are biased throughout history, and neglecting to recognize the great pain and terror inflicted to indigenious people in continents such as Africa and Australia.
I think that at some point George Edward Grey should be moved back to George Grey. It's a case of what Wikipedia:Disambiguation calls "primary topic" disambiguation rather than "equal" disambiguation since one of them is considerably more famous than the other. Evidence:
- There are 32 links to George Edward Grey but George Grey (British politician) still doesn't even exist.
- A new link from Rodney (district), New Zealand, created after the move, ended up pointing to George Grey rather than at George Edward Grey.
- Counts of books, TV programs and placenames.

Spelling revision of a written quote
The spelling are of the word "Maori" as directly from the "The Penguin History of New Zealand". I have inserted [sic] next to each spelling that are disputed by User:Evil Monkey, I am not sure if this is a good idea, but I am reluctant to actually change this historians Michael King written words.

- I'm not sure "disputed" is the correct word. Basically all that happened was I went through and changed all the instances of Maori to Māori, not seeing that some are in a quote. And I also don't think sic is the best way to deal with it. I've just changed it back and we can let it be. Evil Monkey∴Hello 04:23, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
Governor of Cape Colony
This article implies that Grey went on to become Governor of Cape Colony some time in the 1880s after being Gov of NZ. However the article History of Cape Colony from 1806 to 1870 states that Grey became Governor of Cape Colony in 1854 and left in 1861. Which article is correct? (I suspect the latter).--GringoInChile 19:00, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
- According to the biography at dnzb [2] he left NZ in late 1853 and returned to NZ in 1861. So the second appears to be correct. Although having said that this article is in need of a lot of work.
- World Statesmen Seems fairly reliable. It says Grey was Governor of Cape Colony 5 Dec 1854 - 15 Aug 1861 with Robert Henry Wynyard acting for him between 20 Aug 1859 and 4 Jul 1860. --Scott Davis Talk 09:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
