Wikipedia reluctant to use macrons for Māori place names

From Afternoons, 1:27 pm on 27 January 2020

Former Wikipedian-at-large Mike Dickison talks about the issues in getting the online encyclopedia to use macrons for Māori place names. He explains that here is no official editorial board or committee which makes rulings on these issues, instead the guidelines are thrashed out by the volunteers who work on the one of the world's most-viewed websites.
