Tēnā koe Zeborah!
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!

- Kia ora! I've been doing a few minor edits over in the English Wikipedia for a while and just sort of drifted over here at some stage from curiosity. My Maori is not even basic, so I won't be able to add much content, but I figure a link or word here and there... --Zeborah 00:36, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
OK, I've had a look at your "en" stuff. You obviously have a way of getting things right, a possible exception being your prediction that your "Directionality" piece needed merciless editing:

Maybe the experts who could be merciless (rather than just making sympathetic additions) are still scratching their heads.
Strong hint of west-central Ōtautahi (and academia) in your contributions. I still call myself a Mainlander by Adoption, despite having moved back to the smaller island more than half my life ago.
If you have any Maori-speaking acquaintances, I hope you can suggest to them that this site has good potential for assisting the revival of the language and might have value as a free storehouse for course content for teachers.
Kind regards.

Article titles & macrons
[takatā pūtake]To change an article title, "Move" the article. You get presented with an edit box containing the existing name for you to change. Simple as that! (So get your macron letter ready copied on your clipboard for maximum simplicity.)

Any of your friends been pointed in this direction yet? (|:-D Robin Patterson 05:29, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks! I've been plugging Wikipedia in general to all my librarian and student friends, but the few Maori-speakers I know I don't see everyday. Next time I bump into them, though, I'll proselytise to your heart's content. :-) --Zeborah 19:58, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
