Kia ora and welcome to Wikipedia!

Unfortunately the article Tinanai you have just posted is in Māori. However, this is the English Wikipedia and all articles must be in English. There is a Māori Wikipedia at mi.wikipedia.org, which may the more appropriate place for the article.

Nonetheless, I have listed the article for translation into English as it may be appropriate for retention here. By appropriate I mean that it meets the notability and sourcing requirements of Wikipedia. You can read more about these in these pages: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome.
