Somehow I managed to get the 100,000th article when writing about my old home town.

I tend to stick to New Zealand topics and minor edits so far, will perhaps add something more substantial if inspired.

Lisiate, thanks for your encouragement. When I started I knew very little about the Maori Wars either apart from the first one, we lived near one to the battlefields so it was unavoidable, but I have been reading and digesting and trying to make sense of the different accounts. In many ways it is quite painful, Being an ex pom I am very proud of New Zealand but it is hard to be of things like the Invasion of the Waikato. So it has been a real learning experience
