The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Both groups used names to commemorate notable people, events, places from their homeland, and their ships, or to describe the surrounding area.
- It is unknown whether Māori had a name for the whole of New Zealand before the arrival of Europeans, but post-colonisation the name Aotearoa has been used to refer to the whole country.
- Dutch cartographers named the islands Nova Zeelandia, the Latin translation of the Dutch Nieuw Zeeland.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The New Zealand place names article was read about 6,300 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 74 and blocks with 72: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
