Young Nick's Head
Hi Taruherutawa, do you have a source for that? It'd be good to add so the change gets cemented into the article. When you do, we can ditch the tag. I stuck it there before someone comes and just removes the sentence. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with replying to Casliber. Casliber requested that I cite a reference to an edit. That may be possible during the Te Ha Sester centennial events in Turanganui a Kiwa later this year. I don't think anything has been published about which high piece of land was the land that was first seen from Captain Cook's ship at 2.00pm on 6th October 1769.

Please help me with... Cas Liber asked me in May 2019 for a source for my comment on the Wikipedia article "Young Nick's Head". I was not able to provide this at that time but can do so now. The message from Cas Liber is below: Young Nick's Head[edit source] Hi Taruherutawa, do you have a source for that? It'd be good to add so the change gets cemented into the article. When you do, we can ditch the [citation needed] tag. I stuck it there before someone comes and just removes the sentence. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)

The reference is:

John Wilson. “European discovery of New Zealand”, Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand, updated 21-Dec-2006, http//www.TeAra.govt.nz/NewZealandPeoples/EuropeanDiscoveryOfNewZealand/en

From Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand, “Sailing across uncharted seas in October 1769, Captain Cook offered a reward of rum to the man who first sighted land, and promised that ‘that part of the coast of the said land should be named after him’. The sighting was made by the surgeon’s boy, 12-year old Nicholas Young. He had probably come aboard the ship in the retinue of the botanist Joseph Banks, It is not recorded if Young Nick was given the rum, but the headland below the high hills which he first saw from the masthead was named Young Nicks Head after him.”

Cas Liber, please could you add this citation to my comment about the first land to be sighted from the Endeavour in 1769 being Te Rimuomaru, which is the high hill above Young Nicks Head, and remove the [citation needed] tag? Maybe you could also add some of the note above from Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand?

Where Te Ara – the Encyclopedia of New Zealand notes that it was not recorded if Young Nick received the rum, this statement will disagree with the statement already on this page in Wikipedia, which has references too, so perhaps this should be left out.

I apologise, I am not able to master the correct way to reply to your earlier comments.

Thank you and kind regards, Gillian

 * I'm going to turn off the help me batsignal, since I notified of your post while moving it here.
 * If you look at your resource, I'm not sure I agree that it supports the statement with the citation needed tag in a direct fashion. Perhaps some wording closer to the reference would be better and not be considered engaging in WP:synthesis.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 01:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
