I removed the reference about 'the wharewananga of the Maori is very similar' implying that wharewananga is a poem similar to the Kumulipo. Not so. Whare wānanga (the correct spelling) is not a poem at all. It refers to a house where learning and knowledge were imparted by experts. (By the way, it is the term used for University in modern Māori.) The contributor may have been confused by the title of a book called 'The Lore of the Whare Wananga' by S. P. Smith, written in the early 1900s, which is regarded with some scepticism by scholars in New Zealand these days Kahuroa 22:56, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I added a link to a copy in the public domain of the "The Kumulipo" by Martha Beckwith, hosted by sacred-texts.com. If someone could verify that the work is in fact in the public domain, then we could quote liberally. Beckwith provides a scholarly treatment of this work and should serve as an excellent source to expand this article. RCKamahele 08:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
User:Sphilbrick undid my edits over copyright concerns. I've restored the non-controversial parts and have removed the two potentially infringing extracts: Rock's translation of Bastian and Beckwith's translation, both of which appear in Beckwith's 1951 book The Kumulipo. My understanding is that the failure to apply to extend the copyright term on her works means Beckwith's works are in the public domain (see her Wikisource page - I looked her up on the Stanford Copyright Renewals database and couldn't find her). However, I wasn't sure so I thought better safe than sorry and have left them out for now (and it would be worth double checking that the 1951 version isn't changed from the 1980s book that I was referencing). -- AntediluvianBlue ( talk) 11:33, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
No where in the About.com article does it mention anything about skin. Probably should be removed unless I am missing something. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hippypink ( talk • contribs) 06:22, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
