Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. You might like to start by reading the tutorial and introducing yourself at the new users page. For ideas of what to put on your user page, see Wikipedia:User page.
If you have any questions, you can ask at the help desk or on my talk page. Two useful tips are that you can sign your name using four tildes (~~~~) and you can preview your changes before you save using the show preview button.

Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand
[edit]Hi, You might want to consider adding {{User NZ res}} to the top of your user page, which will add you to this category automatically and also add a nice graphic. Onco_p53 07:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
Bosman
[edit]Hi there, I've just been enjoying your article on Bosman to which I've added another category (South African writers). I was also thinking of italicising the book names in the bibliography as well as in the text. Would you object to this? Further, a lot of other pages seem to use the style where the ISBN goes last in the ref (eg in [Sources]). Would you mind if I faffed around to make your list look like this? (Too much time on my hands? Yup!) Tell me to bog off if you like it just fine the way it is... :-) JackyR 23:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Drum

Auckland meetup
[edit]Hi there. We're having a meetup in Auckland shortly, and as you're listed in Category:Wikipedians in Auckland I thought I would call your attention to it. See Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland 4 if interested. Richard001 (talk) 23:00, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
Please see the talk page of the article and its editing summaries. I moved your comment from my talk page to that article's talk page and replied there. Please consult the links re: proper citations for biographies of living persons and in general. The ones that you added violate WP:SPAM and WP:Advert as well as WP:BLP, WP:V#Sources and WP:EL. Proper full citations to reliable third-party published sources are needed; "Iain Fisher"'s self-published site and his self-published message boards are not third-party publications and he is not a recognized authority on the subjects; his site is an unofficial fansite and his message boards do not meet the threshold as a reliable source in Wikipedia. (I do not plan to edit this article further; I simply came across it coincidentally while working on other things a few days ago. Most of the templates were already there before I encountered the article; it needs thorough re-writing according to them. Fisher has been placing spam links throughout Wikipedia articles; and I and others will remove them as necessary. --NYScholar (talk) 20:49, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Nzpcmad! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 5 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Disambiguation link fixing one-day contest
[edit]I have decided to put on a mini-contest within the November 2013 monthly disambiguation contest, on Saturday, November 23 (UTC). I will personally give a $20 Amazon.com gift card to the disambiguator who fixes the most links on that server-day (see the project page for details on scoring points). Since we are not geared up to do an automated count for that day, at 00:00, 23 November 2013 (UTC) (which is 7:00 PM on November 22, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the project page leaderboard. I will presume that anyone who is not already listed on the leaderboard has precisely nine edits. At 01:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC) (8:00 PM on November 23, EST), I'll take a screenshot of the leaderboard at that time (the extra hour is to give the board time to update), and I will determine from that who our winner is. I will credit links fixed by turning a WP:DABCONCEPT page into an article, but you'll have to let me know me that you did so. Here's to a fun contest. Note that according to the Daily Disambig, we currently have under 256,000 disambiguation links to be fixed. If everyone in the disambiguation link fixers category were to fix 500 links, we would have them all done - so aim high! Cheers! bd2412 T 02:34, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
[edit]Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
