If editors are in disagreement about Maoris versus Maori versus Māori, how about following the established Wikipedia procedures of seeking consensus via a talk page discussion? For now, I have restored the version that existed before the edit warring started.

Edit war

If editors are in disagreement about Maoris versus Maori versus Māori, how about following the established Wikipedia procedures of seeking consensus via a talk page discussion? For now, I have restored the version that existed before the edit warring started. Schwede66 00:42, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Schwede66. Note that Māori with macron is standard on Wikipedia when referring to Māori people: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C4%81ori
Further, despite the argument that having a macron is not English, it is the spelling used by the Oxford English Dictionary: https://www.oed.com/dictionary/maori_n?tl=true
From the examples there, it can be seen that using a macron has been standard for the last 20 years, and (like sheep) it is no longer pluralised with an 's'. Thedugganaut (talk) 11:49, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
