Nō Wikipedia Māori

Here's a list of administrators for this Wikipedia and people who have contributed technical help in the past. We can update it as and when! Notes derived from their user pages or author's copyleft knowledge.

[edit] Sysops

  • User:Perl - American; created userpage in Feb 2004 with a Māori greeting, and put many link buttons etc into Māori. Significant contributions in Feb/Mar/Apr 2004, including fixing our first vandal.
"I'm a sysop on wikibooks and meta, and a bureaucrat for Maori."
Alexander Douglas Plank
  • User:Robin Patterson - Lives in Porirua, near Pōneke (Wellington). Proofreader/editor with Law Publishing firm in Willeston Street, Wellington City. Recognises a couple of hundred Māori words and can create short sentences, much helped by Whakaata Māori and three or four books. Has contributed many signed articles (most of the first 260) and improvements here (and a bunch of unsigned ones for which the experts are unable to give him attribution as yet), and done some editing, largely of NZ material, on "en" and "fr" and "la" and some less obvious places such as "na" and "su". Keen to promote this Wikipedia, to the extent of losing too much sleep on occasions. Has written to several webmasters and authorities urging them to take an interest.
  • User:Rocastelo - from Galicia, New Zealand's Antipodes. Articles about home provinces and lots of handy wiki-type improvements.
  • User:Vardion - Connected with Pōneke (Wellington). Significant early contributions, including two paras of Māori on userpage, and resumed an an energetic manner in November 2004. Does lots on "en" for NZ and other subjects, is learning Vietnamese, and is a WP authority on maps, as is evident from the November 2004 map near the bottom of Rārangi iwi and later country contributions.

[edit] Others

  • User:Angela: lives in England; Wikipedia Board Member since June 2004; extremely busy contributor to many WPs; "interested in finding ways of increasing ties and a spirit of collaboration between the different language Wikipedias"; was awarded a barnstar for "tireless work organising the village pump and votes for deletion pages, greeting of newcomers, fixing of vandalism", and all the other places she was known to help grease the wheels of Wikipedia; seems to keep an eye on us and answers questions at appropriate times. Contributions from April 2004.
  • User:Brion VIBBER - One of the WP gurus. Made significant contribution here in January 2004.
  • User:Davidcannon - Hails from Raumati, an hour's drive north of Pōneke (Wellington). Busy fixing Fiji on "en" and knows little Māori, but is expected to do a bit for us in time.
