Good Morning - To Josh

Trusting this finds you well, and you and all staff at Wikipedia are well and safe.

as you can tell - I am completely new to your Forum - while I use Wiki a lot, trying to create the page as I did, I knew I was going to run into problems.

I would like the Page - reinstated the reason for this, is this.

Simply - the Page is of cultural significance, also, it is an accomplishment, to get something like this put up to recognise what has been accomplished. As it is a FREE platform, to help small grass root clubs anywhere around the World (World First) it connects ex and current players across multiple sports to people and organizations (FREE) also a World First.

With its affiliations - it also - has managed to get many members - FREE - Pass's to Games who might not been able to afford or to go themselves - Also World First.

Why Are We Called Kahu The Kiwi? Find Out The Meaning Behind Kahu

However, the name Kahu, given to the name of our group comes from the name of the Korowai (Kiwi feathered cloak), known as Kahu Kiwi.

What does the Kahu mean? The name given to our Kahu Sports Facebook Group.

The Korowai symbolises, prestige, mana, honour and respect.

There is a deep Maori history in relation to the whakapapa (history) of the Kahu Kiwi.

For this purpose a Korowai (cloak) when draped over the shoulders of a person acknowledges their spirituality, their lineage and their own influence.

The Kahu Kiwi is made from a variety of natural materials such as muka, harakeke (flax), also the feathers of the Brown Kiwi.

The Kiwi is a symbol of New Zealand heritage and is also the nickname used internationally for people of New Zealand.

The founder of the group Dave Goodenough is, of course, a Kiwi from New Zealand although he is residing in Australia.

Every member of Kahu wears the Kahu Kiwi in our group.

No matter where you are from or where you live in the world we acknowledge you. You are respected for who you are as a person.

You are acknowledged for your own lineage and the influence that you bring to the group as a member of Kahu you are Kahu The Kiwi – Rugby and World Sports.

I do need Halp with setting up the Page - that I would appreciate any you can offer.

Wikipedia strongly discourages editors from posting personal information like phone numbers. I have removed yours to be compliant with that policy. Also, all discussions related to editing should take place on Wikipedia, not outside it, so that others can learn... and so that everything is out in the open.

Reasons for having an article

You have stated "the Page is of cultural significance, also, it is an accomplishment, to get something like this put up to recognise what has been accomplished." as your reason for wanting your article on Wikipedia. However, Wikipedia is not for promotion, no matter how noble the subject may be. Sorry, but social media is a far better venue for getting out the word.--Quisqualis (talk) 02:13, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
