Talk:Rangi and Papa

Separate
Shoulsn't these two be on seperate pages? 209.89.245.75 Jessica L.
 * I don't think so really. These are two static deities who don't 'do' a lot. In all the stories about them they 'act' (or rather they are acted on by others) as a pair. So there would be a lot of repetition if they were (xcuse the pun) separated... Kahuroa 05:42, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with separating. Or at least a separate page for Papa, as she appears in many other mythologies, and linking the Papa from "Wakea and Papa" to a page with only Moari mythology is inaccurate.YobMod 14:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

links
Why does "Where-Ao" redirect here? Please clarify in the article. Where-Ao is on the hotlist of mythology topics. Goldenrowley 03:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No need to clarify in the article. Where-Ao was one of hundreds of mythology stubs started by TUF-KAT in September 2002, using the unreliable Encyclopedia Mythica (See where-ao), which have caused us untold trouble. It probably derives, like most of En.Myth's articles, from a misconstrued line in a poem somewhere. It should never have been started at all, and should be deleted from the hotlist.

Raki and Papa
A very different tradition about Raki and Papa can be found in the South Island, which links to an account of the island as Te Waka o Aoraki, different from the North Island account of the origin of the South Island as Te Waka a Maui, though both traditions have Maui fishing up the North Island while standing on the Kaikoura Peninsula. I've heard these stories on several different marae, but I've never seen a printed source for them, though I'm sure they exist. Koro Neil (talk) 22:59, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * I've heard that the spot where he stood was up near Separation Point in the Tasman. Goes to show that the story changes based on where you are in the country i suppose.  InsertCleverPhraseHere  00:01, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
