"Unjust confiscation" - isn't this POV? Some people would argue that for thousands of years men have fought other men for control over their land.

Well, considering the NZ government paid a lot of money and the Queen made a formal apology about it, perhaps it is a fair statement of fact. older≠wiser 23:39, Oct 31, 2004 (UTC)

Agreed, that was what I had inmind when I used the word "unjust". It was the judgement of history, not my own. ping 07:31, 6 Nov 2004 (UTC)

"rendered the Paterangi Line redundant" ... I think the word should be "moot". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.204.193.68 (talk) 15:55, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing "the" in title

It's good to see this linked from the main page. However, the current title "Invasion of Waikato" seems wrong to me. It's always "the Waikato" in common speech, and in everything else I've read. However since it was changed from "Invasion of the Waikato" almost a year ago, maybe I'm missing something. Does anyone object to changing it back?

I think it should likewise be "the Waikato" and "the King Country" in the text. -- Avenue 22:36, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
