Could someone find out about that reference to when the Maori first arrived please? In the 'Penguin History of New Zealand' (2003) Michael King gives the thirteenth century as the date of the first Maori settlement (p.51), so is the date here from an older or a newer work of his, or is it maybe based on a misreading or what? I am personally tempted to replace it with the date I have, but I'll wait and see if there is another opinion. Also, should we change all uses of the word Maori, like in the 'new zealand' article to Mäori? (sorry, don't know how to do macrons but that's what I mean)[[User:Cmurphynz|Cmurphynz]] 20:15, 19 June 2012 (EDT) | Could someone find out about that reference to when the Maori first arrived please?
