Short description

I’m honestly a bit baffled as to what I should write for this articles short description as this guy seems to have done a lot. Honestly this is probably the most information packed stub I’ve seen.

the Wikidata description is “ Ngati Maniapoto; interpreter, land agent, sportsman, private secretary, public administrator, broadcaster” which is far too long but the article doesn’t really give any information as to which one he’s most notable for.

@DogsRNice, I have made the change, with some rationale in edit summary. To add: interpreters are rarely notable for that skill alone, and he doesn’t appear most notable for being a land agent. — HTGS (talk) 03:55, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
