Talk:Siege of Ngatapa

Is the translation accurate?
I somewhat doubt the Siege of Ngatapa is simply known as 'Ngatapa' (which is a real location) in Maori. I suggest the translation be removed until an accurate one can be provided/sourced. Traumnovelle (talk) 04:39, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * It's not a translation of the battle name, it's to show the place name is Māori. Zawed (talk) 08:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's not really how it comes across. Compare Battle of Blenheim and Battle of the Ebro for examples.
 * I checked all the other New Zealand Wars pages and none of them had this. This usage doesn't seem to be common when compared to it being a translation of the battle location.
 * I think it causes more confusion than anything, I imagine anyone with a decent grasp of English will figure that Ngatapa isn't an English name and will quickly pick up it's Maori upon reading the article even if they had no idea about the Maori people.

 * Moved to first mention of Ngatapa in isolation. Zawed (talk) 21:24, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
