joint British New Zealand administration
edit"then came under a joint British and New Zealand colonial administration until 1 January 1962" I think this is wrong. The administration was by New Zealand, under a League of Nations mandate and later a UN Trust Territory. It was only "British" in that at the beginning New Zealand was still a "British Dominion" Noel Ellis 01:13, 26 August 2022 (UTC) Noel Ellis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noel Ellis (talk • contribs)

Religion
editThe in Country Information template there is a list of religion adherence. This has two references. One says that 98% of the population is Christian. The other gives numbers of people who adhere to particular churches. Nowhere does it categorise these churches as being Protestant or even Christian. An edit was made that gave a different percentage of various groups and combined several groups as being Protestant. It also invented a group 'Other Christian' that was not in the cited reference. This information is either uncited or original research.
An edit to replace the figures by percentages derived from the actual reference has been reverted. It is necessary for the new figures to be referenced. Rather than get into a revert contest, I'll wait a day. Unless there is any evidence that the made up figures are true, I'll revert to the official figures. OrewaTel (talk) 21:11, 15 May 2023 (UTC)
- I added the mainline protestant denominations into a single group, along with Mormonism, Catholicism and other Christian categories taken from the religion in Samoa. Your figures don't even add up to 100% and give infobox a very bad look too. So I have removed them for good and instead mentioned that Christianity is official religion same as before.Serralia (talk) 23:39, 17 May 2023 (UTC)
- We have two references. https://thediplomat.com/2017/06/samoa-officially-becomes-a-christian-state/ states that Samoa is 98% Christian. The other https://www.sbs.gov.ws/documents/census/2021/Census_2021_Final_Report.pdf?_t=1670528927 is the official census and gives the recorded figures for several different religions and sects. Whilst the exact census figures add to 100% the rounded figures add to 100.1%. This is a common problem whenever figures are rounded and has two solutions. We can just leave the figures and trust that people will note there is a rounding error. Alternatively we can round one of the figures down and so get 100%. Note that the census figures do not totally align with the Newspaper article. Presumably the article was rounded to the nearest 1%. Perhaps we can omit the 98% figure.
