Thank you for quality articles such as Kererū, Electricity sector in New Zealand, Ward Beach and Te Kopahou Reserve, done in collaboration, and with dedication to spelling of names, for "I hope to add some value to topics in my areas of interest" - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Hi Marshelec, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions.
As you know, I'm very familiar with your content creation. However, I've looked over the last ten articles you created to make sure that there aren't any outstanding issues. The only thing I spotted was a maintenance tag placed a week ago. That particular article was not an orphan and I did not check whether the incoming links have been created during the last week or whether the tag had been placed in error. What I encourage you to do is to deal with maintenance tags when they get placed on articles that you created (assuming that you have those articles on your watchlist). That was really the only issue I spotted. Happy editing! Schwede66 23:25, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gadfium: Hi, I would appreciate your thoughts on this topic, since you do so much work that involves district and regional boundaries etc. This question is particularly important to me at present because several of the Wellington Wikipedians are looking for a group project, and getting the Wellington article to GA status is a leading candidate. However, we need to be certain about the scope, to avoid wasted effort.
There has been a discussion on Talk:Wellington about the scope of the article. Changes made by one editor that take content in the existing article towards coverage of the metropolitan area have been reverted by others. At present, there is a separate article about the Greater Wellington Region, and separate articles about the cities of Porirua, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. The lead of each of article about these three cities describe them as being "one of the four cities that constitute the Wellington metropolitan area.". The wikilink for Wellington metropolitan area goes to a section of the article "Wellington" that describes the metropolitan area.
My view initially was that the article titled Wellington should be just about the city as defined by the boundaries of Wellilngton City Council. However, I decided to look at the treatment of some other cities. Benchmarking is not always conclusive, but is a relevant consideration. Here is what I have found so far:
Article covers metro area | Article covers city (typ also Local govt area) | No of local government areas in metro | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Sydney | City of Sydney | 31 | |
Melbourne | City of Melbourne | 27 cities and four shires | |
Brisbane | City of Brisbane | 8 | |
Adelaide | City of Adelaide | 19 | |
Perth | City of Perth | 30 | |
Darwin, Northern Territory | City of Darwin | 3 | |
London metropolitan area | City of London | 33 | Confusing! See also main article London |
Greater Manchester Built-up Area | Manchester | 7 | Confusing see also Greater Manchester |
Greater Vancouver | Vancouver | 23 LAs, 21 munis | Use of term "Greater Vancouver" is not consistent |
Paris metropolitan area | Paris |
This table does not include "Region" articles, but there are many, eg: Grand Paris
It appears that there are divergent approaches. I am drawn to the "Australian" model, but still mulling it over.Marshelec (talk) 06:52, 24 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A year after the Performing Arts Aotearoa project started and as we are coming into winter (a busier editing time for many) here is an update.
The Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject now lives on the WikiProject New Zealand page. https://www.search.com.vn/wiki/en/Wikipedia:WikiProject_New_Zealand/Performing_Arts_Aotearoa
I have added new articles created as part of the Pacific Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject. These articles by new editors include Lusi Faiva, Suli Moa, Edith Amituanai and Amanaki Prescott-Faletau, who was interviewed on Radio New Zealand last Sunday. The reporter let me know the article was valuable for the interview research – great feedback for all of us creating and improving content in Wikipedia.
On the project page is highlighted plenty of articles to create or improve. I invite you to have a look and contribute if you can. There are many long-standing festivals in Aotearoa without articles such as the Hawkes Bay Arts Festival, Tauranga Festival of the Arts, Taranaki International Arts Festival, Nelson Arts Festival and the Christchurch Arts Festival. Creating these Wikipedia pages or Wikidata items allows links to biographies and strengthens the weaving of Wikipedia.
Other suggestions for new articles:
Reach out to me if you want guidance on any aspects of Wikipedia, or a collegial conversation about writing encyclopaedic entries on performing arts. I can set up a zoom, or direct you to places for help.
Please try to remember to add any relevant articles improved or created to the lists on the project page so the impact can be seen. Take your name off the project page if you don’t want to get these sporadic updates. I will keep an eye on new articles and I have an ongoing campaign to get more images uploaded so we can illustrate the articles too. I have resources on Wikimedia Commons if you are interested. Feel free to contact me on my talk page.

Kia ora koutou and thanks for joining the West Coast Wikipedian at Large project! I hope you enjoy helping improve coverage of the beautiful country of Te Tai Poutini over the next ten weeks • First, bookmark the 2022 project page to keep up with which topics we're working on • For questions and suggestions, use the project Talk page (and watchlist it) • There's a Useful tools section on the project page that's worth checking out • We're doing something different this year: instead of the daily reporting of 2020, we're compiling a weekly report: just edit the Weekly Progress page with what you did when you did it, no pressure to do something every day! • There are prizes for both quantity and quality • Online training for newbie editors (Mon 27 Jun) and Commons contributors (Mon 4 Jul)—see the About page and feel free to recruit friends • The focus for the next couple of weeks is Punakaiki: the pancake rocks (which need their own article?), Paparoa Track (a stub with no photos!), Cave Creek (much work needed, and photos of the track, creek, and memorial), and Barrytown, subject of a Wikiblitz but still with plenty to do • I'll be visiting the Punakaiki area and hopefully presenting on Wikipedia to the DOC team around the 29–30 June (depending on weather), and will take photos of tracks, river, points, islands, and caves–requests taken • Note: there's a West Coast Reptiles Wikiblitz on Sunday 3 July if you want to help improve articles about native lizards • Right, that's plenty! Maybe people would be interested in an online team chat? I could post a Doodle poll… • So looking forward to working with you all on this! • Mānawatia a Matariki, — Giantflightlessbirds | ![]() |

Kia ora koutou and thank you all for your hard work over the last couple of weeks! We've had a cold snap here on the Coast, but at least the rain's slackened off and I've been able to get out on the blue sunny days and take snapshots • Schwede66 has been sorting out the Paparoa Range, cleaning up mountain wikidata, and expanding the Pororari River • We have a new article about the Truman Track, and a great photo selection for Cave Creek • Our hardest worker has been Marshalc, creating new articles on the Pancake Rocks, Bullock Creek, and the Inland Pack Track amongst others • I took a field trip to Punakaiki and sorted out the Wikidata and photos for every scenic spot between the Strongman Mine Memorial (Q112859334) and Hatters Bay (Q32217346) • If you're still thinking about helping, we could do with expanding the Punakaiki article, and sorting the best Pancake Rocks photos into a Commons gallery • Greymouth photographer Jase Blair donated some beautiful photos of Paparoa National Park which need using • The Avatar moth from Denniston Plateau (with its newly-improved article) will be RNZ's Critter of the Week on Friday • New resource: Mark Pickering's book The Coastal Journey (2010) (Q112841717) is free to download and a great reference • This coming weekend I'm off to Moana ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() |

Kia ora koutou and once again thank you for all your mahi over the last fortnight • We've been working on articles on the Lake Brunner area; the lake's article is looking heaps better, and it's in the queue for DYK • Marshelec, Swede66, and Turnagra have been the putting in lots of effort, with new articles on the Croesus Track, Mount Te Kinga, and the Pike19 Memorial Track amongst others • We've rescued lots of great photos from Flickr and other public collections • But these weren't enough: I did two field trips to photograph up and down the Punakaiki coast, and halfway around the Arnold Valley and Lake Brunner; numerous new Commons categories and Wikidata images resulted • Progress at the lake was derailed by having to be filmed for the evening news, editing Wikipedia in the open air while being attacked by sandflies (our project mascot is well chosen) • Over the next two weeks the focus shifts to Karamea, all the caves and walks of the Ōpārara Basin, and the Heaphy Track • There is plenty to do: the Wangapeka Track, Honeycomb Hill Cave, and Kahurangi National Park need massive work, so I'm stoked that Marshall and Lyn are joining me for a few days this weekend at Karamea to help • This is an area that critically relies on tourism, and it's embarassing the coverage is so bad in Wikipedia • Check out the Project page to see jobs there are to do, and how you can help out!

@Wainuiomartian: Kia ora. I have begun building up a new category of photos in Commons. See: c:Category:Evans Bay Patent Slip. I have downloaded all these images from the National Library collection. As far as I can determine, these ones are all in the public domain, because of the date (1927 or earlier). One issue I wrestled with was whether to call the category "Evans Bay Patent Slip", or "Patent Slip, Evans Bay". I eventually settled on the former. I hope you agree, and will also be happy with that as the title of the planned new article ?. I am also working on an Infobox that could be used in the new article, and will send a link to that shortly. Cheers --Marshelec (talk) 01:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66: Hi, I have just visited this large and popular botanic gardens in hills to the east of Melbourne. Checking it out on Wikipedia, I was surprised to find only a short stub article, and that it was named National Rhododendron Gardens. I have made a proposal for a page move on the Talk page. I think the move is un-controversial, and that I could just proceed. However, can you review please ? Also, what is involved in (a) changing the Category name in Commons, and (b) getting rid of the unhelpful redirect from National Rhododendron Garden (singular) that goes to the article for the town in the area Olinda. ? --Marshelec (talk) 04:52, 23 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on the Te Rapa cogeneration article and was wondering if you could help me find additional sources for the lead.

"valid non-free use rationales are provided"and I'm assuming that valid means that an admin or image patroller has added

to the image FUR template, as is required to avoid it being disputed/deleted later. Do either of you have an opinion here? Alternatively, could either of you apply your magic adminy powers to the images in question and make the problem go away (I actually think the FURs are valid, but it doesn't seem like it's up to me or the article author)? Cheers — Jon (talk) 21:04, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]@Kiwichris:. Kia ora. I found your GA nomination of the article Walter Nash. I am interested in this article, and it looks to be in good shape. I would be willing to be the GA reviewer. However, I am busy for the next week, and would not be able to get started until the first few days of April. Provided that no-one else has commenced the GA review by early April, I will initiate the process. Once I get started, it would be best if you have sufficient time available to respond to any points, so that together we can make progress without things dragging on. Are you reasonably available in the first couple of weeks of April ? Marshelec (talk) 07:16, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66:. Kia ora. I am currently working on a GA review of Walter Nash and would appreciate a second opinion on a point I am uncertain about. This concerns mention of Stuart Nash as a great-grandson, in the section Walter Nash#Personal_life. My inclination is to suggest that content about his great-grandson is off-topic and best omitted. This content doesn't fit well with the heading "Personal life" of Walter Nash. However, perhaps I am overly swayed by the current controversy surrounding Stuart Nash. At present, I think it is more relevant to mention the relationship in the article about Stuart Nash, but not in the article about Walter Nash. Any thoughts ??

@Jonathanischoice: If you can find some time, please have a look at Walter Nash and the GA review that is in progress: Talk:Walter Nash/GA1 During this review, I have adopted some of the presentation approaches used by the GA reviewer of Contrabass trombone, including adding a collapse template when all review comments on a section are actioned. You are welcome to directly edit the article, or contribute to review comments if you wish :) Marshelec (talk) 22:08, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66: Kia ora, I have just added myself to the talk page here, offering to become an AFC reviewer: Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Participants. Hopefully my offer will be accepted. I will probably want to do "cleanup" tasks on articles that I accept. What tools do you recommend ?. As an example of an AFC that needs a bit of cleanup, see: Draft:Tianyi_Lu. Some of the citations are not fully formatted. I could fix these manually, but perhaps there is a tool that can help with some of this ? Any suggestions for cleanup tools would be most welcome. Thanks..Marshelec (talk) 21:33, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Turnagra: Kia ora, I seek your views about the naming of a new article I plan to write about Pariwhero/Red Rocks on Wellington's south coast. I am aware that Pariwhero/Red Rocks is an official dual name [8], and [9]. The dual name is included in List of dual place names in New Zealand. My inclination is to name the article with the dual name, but I am conscious of the debates that have usually surrounded using dual names like this in articles. There are some sources that use Pariwhero/Red Rocks, some put the dual name the other way around, and there are lots of sources that just say Red Rocks. An interim position might be to name the article Red Rocks, Wellington and then have Pariwhero/Red Rocks in the first line. Given your extensive involvement in these dual name issues, I would appreciate your thoughts... 20:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC) Marshelec (talk) 20:52, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66: Kia ora, I have a query that will help me as a AFCR newbie. I have found this AFC article: Draft:Hermit crab behaviors. There is interesting content here, and citations, but my current view is that all this content should be placed / merged into Hermit crab. Doing so would improve the Hermit crab article, and would not make it excessively long. What is the right next step ? Do I:

@Gadfium: Hi, the recent instances of disruptive editing from Special:Contributions/203.173.161.240 may be too minor to escalate. However, I am interested to know if you ever contact schools to let them know ? The talk page says the address is associated with Wellesley College. This is a private school with a reasonably good reputation - I presume they would be concerned that their IP address was being used in disruptive editing of Wikipedia pages ?
