According to an old version of the official Regimental website, Privates were (are?) known as Riflemen. Make what you will of this. 202.89.153.10 10:51, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Does this regiment have any marches? 202.89.155.94 03:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
The term mechanised refers to a force that uses tracked vehicles for mobility. Within the NZDF there are no tracked vehicles within service, so the reference to one battalion being mechanised is incorrect. 203.109.225.42 11:38, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
The heritage of a regiment, and its right to battle honours, is not as simple as implied. It is not correct that "Because it is recruited on a nationwide basis, and has no specific regional links, the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment claims descent from the old New Zealand Regiment and all previous Territorial Infantry Regiments of the New Zealand Army". Royalcourtier ( talk) 23:46, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
I believe that the RNZNIR does not have any actual administrative role, and does not exist as a regiment except on paper. To call it the "parent administrative regiment" is probably false. Royalcourtier ( talk) 23:39, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

User:49.190.53.232 has been making extensive edits to this page for some time. I am concerned that some of these edits are not based on WP:RS and that many of the refs provided are bare links, User:49.190.53.232 please take the time to find RS and provide proper references that can withstand WP:Link rot, as this is not something that someone else should have to clean up later.

for citations" this requires you to provide the following details: url= |title= |last= |first= |date= |website= |publisher= |access-date= . In relation to your comment that "there are not a lot of cites available for this subject in the first place that aren't just quoting pages from a few books thus possibly presenting somewhat of a bias approach (e.g the McGibbon book) hence I have cited a large number of sources". Please read
WP:RS. McGibbon is a reliable source, whereas websites maintained by individuals or veterans organisations generally will not be RS and should not be relied on. It is preferable that you use a few good books rather than a large number of blogs and websites as those are not subject to any objective review.

11:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)I propose that the majority of the Vietnam be transferred to another page like 'Military history of New Zealand in the Vietnam war' as this page is supposed to be a summary of the history not a full blown essay. In addition, this would increases the readability of the page as the section will not take up nearly as much as it once did IronBattalion ( talk) 01:08, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Side note, can we please get some sort of protection for the Vietnam section, because it is still increasing and making this problem worse than it already is. Currently the main perpetrators of this continuous increase are IP addresses, and while they are not actively vandalising the article, they are not discussing the main problem of this article; that it's too long and the Vietnam section is solely to blame. That said, I don't want them banned, I just want them discussing it with us. IronBattalion ( talk) 23:56, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
