It would be interesting to know how many of the executed were Maori. Rmhermen 04:56, 17 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

Point taken. When I have time, I'll incorporate a list of the eighty five executed individuals, so you can see for yourself.

As there is now a page entitled List of people executed in New Zealand, there would seem to have been twenty four Maori in all, judging from the names listed. User: Calibanu 14.22, 23 April 2007

Pre-Settlement edit

I don't suppose there's any way we could know the Maori's execution practices(?)LaFoiblesse (talk) 23:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

John Roberton, not Richard Roberton edit

Maketu's victims were the family of John Roberton not Richard. Sources to support this are:

  • Creswell J.C.M. (1998) Murder in paradise: The strange adventures of the Roberton brothers Whangarei: J.M. Glover ISBN 187613500X (viewable at http://books.google.com/books?id=FP6bAAAACAAJ&dq=%22murder+in+paradise%22+roberton)

Copying edit

At least part of this article is similar to what appears here. Does that matter? Proxima Centauri (talk) 11:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

That's a copy of this article. See Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/Stu#search.com.-gadfium 20:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Made a Set? edit

I don't understand the phrase "made a set" as used here: "Thomas Bull had a reputation for strength and brutality. He seemed at all times to have made a set at Maketu". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paddling bear (talkcontribs) 14:46, 14 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

US drone strikes edit

There's now discussion in the media about the NZ government supplying GCSB data to the American drone programme; see [1] and [2]. At least one New Zealander has been killed by drones. Should this article reflect this? Schwede66 23:15, 19 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Possibly more relevant in New Zealand–United States relations.-gadfium 04:12, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
It's possibly relevant there as well, but I was posting my comment here because it is argued by some that the GCSB is enabling through supplying intelligence for New Zealand citizens to be killed, and that this is no different to capital punishment. Schwede66 05:35, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
To me that sounds like a bit of a stretch, and attempts to include it in the Capital punishment article will likely run into objections based on WP:NPOV. MaxBrowne (talk) 05:41, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Unless there's a judge or court involved, it's Extrajudicial killing not Capital punishment. so no. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:58, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
Extrajudicial killing - you learn something every day. Hadn't come across that one before. Schwede66 09:28, 20 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
