Welcome! edit

Hello, NatRugby4, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Adam and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Tā moko edit

Hi, I've kept your new ref, which is OK, but your additional text didn't really add anything that wasn't already there - and were pretty rough, both in their English and their understanding of the issues. To illustrate this I've edited them below:

"Non-Māori with tā moko may find that some Māori perceive this as an act of imitation and cultural appropriation."
"Kirituhi have similar designs as tā moko, but can be worn by both Māori and non-Māori in a respectful manner."

Please don't be discouraged from editing, all of us editing here have had plenty of "reversions" in the past.

That particular section really needs expansion in the area of the massive growth in Kirituhi-type tattoos this century among the general New Zealand population, Māori and non-Māori. A google search should find plenty of news articles on this. Snori (talk)
