Arklow vs. Maclean

My former partner in Arklow Peter Spencer and his brother John have land there, you know them. In 1997 I purchased two properties behind the shops in Oneroa from partners of Adrian Chisholm. Others you should be focusing on are the Mongrel Mob and their very serious issues. The leaders of Ngai Terangi and their accountant appear to have run off with about $60m which should have gone to the tribe. And the Mob and the Black Power want the Iwi's money back. I have been encouraging them to sit tight and observe Arklow's effort to bring them to account. Rex Mainey (Matakana Island Taikato-his uncle Marsh died in my arms and I was the only pakeha to talk at his tangi),(founding member President Aotearoa), Fats ( Sergeant of Arms), Blue Kuka (Matakana) and the other members unnamed are 'mad as snakes and keen as mustard' to get this matter sorted out. The Arklow site is part of that process. Blue Kuka's sister I refer you to- In early March 1993 local Maori rights activist's Sonny Tawhiao and Christine Kuka laid a large log on the road stopping the new owners (Far Financial, ITT, E1) of Matakana Island from carrying out any logging. They claimed on behalf of their tribes under the instruction of the leadership Ngai Te Rangi, that the Iwi should be the owners of Matakana Island saying Matakana land was sacred and priceless to Maori. They got the land but the leaders put it in their own company. In 1998 Sonny Tawhiao suspected the tribal leadership were trying to get what they could for themselves. He called Wingate seeking information and was provided with documents on what the tribes leadership were up to. Sonny Tawhiao began to lobby his people. In July 1999 Mr Tawhiao's body was found in the back seat of his car in the Matakana forest. It appears certain people wanted to stop Sonny from talking about what the leadership were up to and the Privy Council case was months away. The police report written by the son in law of the Iwi accountant (12.5% shareholder) suggested his death was suicide. The police report suggested Sonny Tawhiao drove into the Matakana forest got into his back seat and set himself on fire.The police report was written by the Iwi accountant's son in law. With a dying child I am in no mood to negotiate.Think clear and ask around. We are this week.

WaihekeSubmission

Hi Gadfium. I've had the user WaihekeSubmission on the phone (says he found my number on the site but thought I was CountryMike) saying his login has been blocked. I read your message on his talk page (he hadn't) and shared accounts may indeed be not such a good idea. Maybe CM could give us his view. Anyway, I agreed to delete his page and he's going to recreate one without using a shared account. OK? Cheers hackademic 22:06, 28 February 2008 (NZDT)

That's fine by me.-Gadfium 08:37, 29 February 2008 (NZDT)

I think that its best if he also create the page outside of the User namespace. Make it a real project/page that can last for posterity so to speak. I put my reasons for not endorsing the open login here: Waihekepedia:Community_Portal#Shared_account. I think we should be aiming to create a wiki community of real users, with logins, user pages, and some accountability for what they write and say. Countrymike 13:51, 29 February 2008 (NZDT)

ps. Gadfium ... whats with this post above? I've seen it as a kind of spam on other wikis as well. Countrymike 13:52, 29 February 2008 (NZDT)

Arklow vs Maclean? This was an issue on Wikipedia, which someone tried to bring here. I decided it was best to ignore him.-Gadfium 15:15, 29 February 2008 (NZDT)

Nobilangelo Ceremalus

HI Gadfium. I made a sp. error in Nobilangelo's page, is it possible to delete the incorrect name, do you know? Rockyar 00:34, 12 April 2008 (NZST)

The page could have been moved to the correct name; there's a move tab at the top of the screen. Another option would have been to turn the misspelled article into a redirect to the correctly spelled one. Since you had already recreated the article, and you were the only contributor to the original (so there's no requirement to keep the article history), I've deleted it.-Gadfium 08:01, 12 April 2008 (NZST)

Cheers for that Gadfium. Rockyar 08:59, 12 April 2008 (NZST)
