The photos

The photos on this page are fricking amazing! Like seriously legit good stuff, speaking for myself as a really, really bad photo taker person...

What do people think about maybe adding a photo of one of the food storage pits on Maungawhau? Or anything else that acknowledges the pre-European inhabitants of this land? 121.98.194.41 (talk) 09:39, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

By "anything else" I just mean cool photos. Like, what cool stuff do people have out there? 121.98.194.41 (talk) 09:41, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Nice suggestion, I've added a photo of Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill showing the terracing. E James Bowman (talk) 04:55, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia does not acknowledge anything if the sole reason is because an editor wants it acknowledged, so my reply is no. Why not spend some time perusing this website to learn what editors are supposed to do? See your talk page welcome for links. Roger 8 Roger (talk) 08:05, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello SageWikiPro and thanks for the nomination. Unfortunately, the article fails criterion 2b since there are too many unreferenced paragraphs and 15 "citation needed" tags. Examples are the paragraphs starting with "In response to the ongoing rebellion by Hōne Heke in", "Several islands of the Hauraki Gulf are administered", and "Auckland Domain is one of the largest parks in the city". According to criterion 2b, these passages require inline citations "no later than the end of the paragraph". Other maintenance tags in the article include: 2x Update, 2x Expand section, 1x Multiple issues, 1x when?, 1x why?, and 1x permanent dead link. I suggest that you add all the relevant references and address the maintenance tags before a renomination. You might also consider a peer review before another GA nomination.

A few other observations:

• WP:EARWIG spotted several close paraphrases in the section "Modern history"
• Eden Park stadium with statue of Rongomātāne add an article before "statue"
• Northern Mystics and Northern Stars are netball teams who compete replace "who" with "that"
• North Shore Events Centre is an indoor arena which is used replace "which" with "that"
• Vodafone Events Centre is an indoor arena which hosts a variety of events replace "which" with "that"
