A fact from Battle of Kororāreka appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 June 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Māori warriors captured Russell, New Zealand, in the 1845 Battle of Kororareka from the British, who were then evacuated by an American ship?

Date format[edit]

Any objection if I change this article to NZ date format? Schwede 66 21:17, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What's that?

US as "Belligerent"[edit]

I've removed from the infobox the listing of the USA as a "belligerent" in this battle. While the article notes that a US Navy ship aided in the evacuation, there is no mention of the US military playing any sort of combat role in this conflict. -Helvetica (talk) 20:51, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Discrepancy in casualties[edit]

Something to fix, the number and division of casualties (killed and wounded), differ a lot between the summary block and the article. 213.248.88.141 (talk) 11:58, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
