A reader and watcher of Wikipedia recently went through the wikipedia-Polynesian sections and thought that the history in the Wikipedia sections on Polynesia is the same junk that used to float around in my small town library. The man said "It's all junk history, what the wiki does is gather or steal information on Pacific island cultures, and then gives out what it wants people to know. Wikipedia at this time is a collector which spits out dumbing down summary. Don't expect a real history on Maori, in fact you'll get articles focusing on random points to keep the reader away from admiring Maori intelligence". The wikipedia watcher then said that the Pacific island history is a dark and ancient whale, and continues to touch the modern world while surviving the ancient world where cultures, empires, religions, and legends have risen and fallen.
