It is great to see an article on the Kanucks in WP at last. I have just added a short para on Kanaks in Australia but, as I am travelling in China at the moment, i am unable to give references to this section. I will try to remember to add them (and, hopefully), more details, after I return home about the middle of next month. Cheers, John Hill ( talk) 11:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

Most interesting and informative. Looks well documented. Not wholly neutral: some pretty clear POV at times. Prose is not too impressive: some suggestions below, but a thorough copy-edit would be a good idea.

If you deal with these points I'll resume the review. Tim riley ( talk) 09:20, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
We progress. I'll do a final read-through tomorrow and then apply the template. Tim riley ( talk) 22:03, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
I think we've addressed them. Tim, I will give this a copy edit now and I've also asked Rosiestep to also copyedit it. if you could wait another 24 hours.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:45, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
I've looked through it and picked up on lots of issues. It is better now, Hopefully if I've missed things Rosie can look into it tonight.. It should be better than earlier with superfluous text rewritten and commas placed where they were needed and removed where inappropriate.♦ Dr. Blofeld 13:40, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
Are you happy with it now? If not I'll try to find another copy editor.♦ Dr. Blofeld 08:58, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Yes I've switched them. This is GA not FA Ssilvers.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:09, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
As touched upon, above, this is not by any means a potential FA article as it stands, but is now, in my judgment, a respectable GA quality one measured against the GA criteria. Tim riley ( talk) 20:26, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Thanks! Oh, it twas never the intention to promote to FA. I gave up on FA a good two years ago now. It would be very difficult to find enough information and sources anyway to really provide a true FA quality article on the Kanaks.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:31, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Seems the best place, although clearly it would also qualify for Social sciences and society.♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:46, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
It is as wrong as saying "the aboriginals refere the british as Australian". Kanak = native from new caledonia, Caldoche = people from white caledonian families (who have been in NC for generations), Metro, Zoreille or Zozo = french.
Big diference French and Caldoche are a totally different ethnic group.

The pectoral development in the picture indicates post-1960's bench press techniques. In addition, the photographic wear is almost artistically placed as well as the set-style background. In all, the picture looks like a fake that has been aged to appear genuine. 174.23.46.48 ( talk) 01:37, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Sounds impossible. 82.36.70.81 ( talk) 22:48, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
From the lede, the non-Kanak population includes many Polynesians from other islands. They are dark skinned but not Kanak. The lede is wrong to exclude them. Tuntable ( talk) 02:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
