Talk:Waikato Museum

COI and referencing problems Suggestion
Most of this article was written by WaikatoMuseum in their only edit. It's completely unreferenced and getting out of date. I'll contact the Museum and let them know the problems since they're no longer using Wikipedia. It might be possible to improve this at a GLAM edit-a-thon of which we have a couple scheduled in the next six months, so perhaps the information was stay here for the moment with warning tags and boxes.

I removed this paragraph because there is no indication of its relevance to the museum; does the museum have exhibits on Waikato Tainu or Parekirangi? It could perhaps be put back with some additional tie-ins.

Below the area where Waikato Museum stands was a canoe landing site called Te Korokoro. This site got its name from a freshwater spring believed to have curative powers. War canoes (waka taua) were often beached at Te Korokoro to be repaired. Immediately opposite Waikato Museum was a pa called Tetarahi, owned by a sub-tribe of Ngati Wairere called Parekirangi."
