User talk:Laeanui

Hello Laeanui. Welcome to Wikipedia. If you haven't see the Wikipedia tutorial yet, you might find it useful in learning more about how to edit, how to write great articles and about Wikipedia's policies. Please do not add simple dictionary definitions here. Those should go in our sister project, Wiktionary. If you have any questions, please ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Angela.

Your version of the Pa'ao story
Laeanui, I don't care if you claim that it's an "oral tradition" -- you can't just use Wikipedia to publish your version of the Pa'ao story, which differs in many particulars from the various published versions, and tell us that it's old and venerable. Frankly, it doesn't read as old and venerable -- the phrasing is novelistic, and extremely far from the style of the documented oral traditions that survive.

IF you want to post the story on your personal website, we can insert a link to "A modern retelling of the tale" or whatever you want to call it. Zora 6 July 2005 23:16 (UTC)
