Nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai ki te Wikipedia Māori! Tēnei te tuku atu nei i tā tātou mātāpunenga kia tirotirohia e te katoa. Kei konei ia - ōna piki, me ōna heke, ōna tika me ōna hē - hei tango mā te tangata. Kia ora rawa atu koe mō āu mahi i konei. Ko te tumanako, ka pai ki a koe tēnei paetukutuku. Tēnā koa, tirohia ngā tikanga o tēnei Wikipedia me ngā whakamārama mō te mahi whakatika. He whakamārama atu anō ki Hau Kāinga, ki Tomokanga hapori. Hei tuku mai i ōu pātai, ōu whakaaro rānei, haere ki Kōrero.
He maramara atu anō
- Tēnā koa, hainatia āu mahi i runga i ngā whārangi kōrerorero ki ngā tohu ngaru e whā, kia pēnei: (~~~~); kia puta mārama ai tō ingoa, me te rā i tuhituhi ai koe.
- Hei wāhi parakitihi i ngā mahi whakatika, haere ki te Papa tākaro.
He whakamārama anō ki te Wikipedia Reo Pākehā
- Mō ngā tino tikanga a te Wikipedia (he reo Pākehā), titiro ki The Five Pillars of Wikipedia, ki What Wikipedia is not hoki.
Nō reira, kia kaha, kia māia, kia manawanui!
Haeremai, haeremai, haeremai! The above "standard" introduction doesn't apply 100% to you, Copey. What an impressive CV. (We have a little in common: I moved to Dunedin and stayed there for a quarter of a century; by age 51 I had led a school haka party and dabbled in about 17 languages (passing Stage 3 in a couple); and the Fibonacci Series never really grabbed me but it must have its devotees!)
This Wikipedia can keep you gainfully "employed" 24 hours a day, I'm sure. There must be something magic about the number "11" here - member No 11 started most of the first 350 articles; member 113 (User:Kahuroa) has been the first seriously competent "Te Reo" contributor to do more than poke around; and you as 131 are another most welcome member.
Any relation to User:Stephen Cope?
Ka kite!
