Loved the Waikino concert.. very much in fact.. moza 13:57, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
This article needs much more work to clarify the actual difference between Nambassa the community trust and Nambassa the music festivals. The music festival in 1979 will always overshadow the rest of Nambassa history, but it is important to demonstrate that it grew from a n alternative cultural groups desire to share their passion and knowledge of a better way of life for the people on mother earth. There is a lot more information coming from the trust that is authourised for use here, including images. moza 01:01, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
The article also needs to be generally improved. Fullish bio details about some of the people mentioned, like Jim Cairns, is not required. The article is not about them, and it llinks to their own entry anyway. The info about Chief Oren Lyons and Eva Rickard should be used to create articles about them. Section headers followed by blank space looks awful. The headers can always be reinserted if/when relevant text is created for those sections. Etc. I am putting a "inuse" tag on the article and will do a preliminary cleanup. Moriori 22:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
When one makes an assertion towards the content of a particular submission this must be considerd as a matter of opinion and not a green light for censorship?. While I tend to agree with whats been shared here one must take into consideration that this Nambassa entry is far from conclusion and still needs a considerable amount of work to which the detail will be included over the coming months. Perhaps the user Moriori would like to start a link on Eva Rickard and Oren Lyons? ( Mombas 23:50, 6 May 2006 (UTC)).
That's fine by me. ( Mombas 02:35, 7 May 2006 (UTC)).
Your editing skills, good punctuation and grammer, are most welcome, and we trust you will continue to show interest. I freely admit that in this area I need all the help that I can possibly get. Your eagerness to contribute should not however, encroach upon the content of historic fact which this article is attempting to reflect. It is my view that you need to show some restraint in terms of the negativity and lack of empathy you appear to be demonstrating towards this submission, and towards those who have voluntererd their time to make it happen. Give this submission a chance to evolve itself into an informative Wiki inclusion, which it has the potential to become. Loosen up a little mate, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Photos on Nambassa-Wikipedia have been shot by official Nambassa Trust photographers and have been made available by the Nambassa Trust and Peter Terry (Trustee). They are made up of the private collection of Peter Terry as well as from comissioned Nambassa photographers.
On the question of your roar for citation in the Split Enz article, it’s abundantly clear that you didn’t bother reading the whole article and links, and know pretty much nothing about the history of Split Enz. Mombas 11:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
The article needs a lot of editing but the first para under "Arts, self-sufficiency and healing arts workshops" with its anti-Catholic point-of-view is perhaps the most pressing caase. Nurg 10:33, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. There's a lot of opinion masquerating as fact here. Do we really need the section about housetruckers at all? And a lot of this seems to be promotional blurb written by the organsiers. There's a distinct lack of information about Nambassa's later financial problems. -- Hugh7 ( talk) 02:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC).
.......since I mentioned "Wikipedia:Image use policy clearly states, under Rules of Thumb, " Don't put credits in images themselves." OK, as no-one has bothered to reply, I will set to tomorrow to remove all images in this article which have the "nambassa.com" credit removed on them. Moriori 08:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

It's more of a question since I don't want to remove something from the article, I might be wrong here. The first thing under "Trivia" mentions that the Nambassa festival was over ten times bigger than Woodstock, on the basis of numbers. The last point under "Trivia" states that the official count was 75 000, and estimating "as high as 150 000 people". However, at Woodstock 1969, on the wikipedia page it is stated : Although the show had been planned for a maximum of 200,000 attendees, over 500 000 eventually attended...
This is why I was wondering if the first point under Trivia in the Nambassa music festival page should be removed or, for example, if there should be another explanation on this fact. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by LeRooster ( talk • contribs) 06:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
You are quite right of course. Please note the correction. Mombas 07:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added an Images of Nambassa photo gallery as a separate entry because the weight of the original article exceeding the 1.2mb guideline and weighed in at 1.3mb due to the number of photos it contained. This resulted from an editor raising the prospects of a slow download due to the body of weight of the photos in the original article. Indeed it's only a question of time when everyone will deservedly have fast internet or broadband. Cheers.. Mombas 06:22, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
I've made a start on tidying up the references section. I moved it to the end and changed it to a two-column format. This resulted in some overflow issues due to the long length of some of the URLs, so I fixed the worst offenders up by mostly just adding link titles. One I changed to a cite. Hope this helps a little - interesting article. BigBadaboom0 17:11, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I'm here to give fair warning. In about 7 days, it is possible that nearly every image on this article will be deleted. A number of the images are marked with {{ Di-no permission}}. You can read that template for more information if you'd like. For the record, I won't be doing any actual deletions myself as I am not an admin.
