Kaiapoi Pā

  • ... that Kaiapoi Pā has been incorrectly called Kaiapohia, a pun which can be translated as 'piling up of bodies for eating'?

  • This article, promoted to GA on 30 Jan, is new enough, long enough, well-sourced, and presentable. No apparent copyvio. No QPQ needed. Hook is interesting, and is cited (though Evison doesn't call it a pun, that is what he implies I suppose). Good to go. Best, Tenpop421 (talk) 16:58, 21 February 2025 (UTC)
