Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia! Nice edits BTW. --mav

Why thank you.

Thankyou for your survey. It was very interesting. (One of these days, us human types are going to catch up with the bot that does all those US towns. I hope.) Tannin 09:46 Jan 24, 2003 (UTC)

Or at least we'll have bots for other parts of the world, too... of course, if we're going to be completely geo-neutral, and there are 30,000 U.S. towns for approximately 300,000,000 U.S. citizens, then Wikipedia will end up having 600,000 town entries.

Maori

Greetings, fellow-Wellingtonian. I see not much activity from you in recent months (unless it continues anonymously) but great work earlier. If you can drag yourself away from chains and equations, maybe a look at the fledgling Maori Wikipedia may inspire something! Kind regards - Robin Patterson 00:34, 11 May 2004 (UTC)

Hi there, nice to hear from you! Don't know what I can contribute but I'm keeping an eye on it to see what happens. And yes I have been a bit inactive this year (thanks to studies and lack of inspiration) but I am still a very regular user (in fact I have my own--rather outdated--local mirror of en.wikipedia.org). With luck I'll be more productive in June/July.

Thanks for the reply, ejrh. Maybe in June/July you can sign up with the "mi:" to make the numbers look better (and so's you can sign the korero page when you feel like saying something). And please mention it to any linguist and/or Maori acquaintances you're writing to. By the way, some kind soul decided that the world really had only one significant Wellington, so we no longer need to add "New Zealand" in links. Robin Patterson 08:37, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

Darwin

Those new links on the Darwin page needed making, although I personally wouldn't have added a second link to Fitzroy. The Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style seems to indicate that only a single instance of a link should exist on a page, so I am considering getting rid of the multiple 'Beagle', 'Galapagos Island', '1839', etc. links, but I didn't want to step on your toes. Any thoughts? Noisy 08:44, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, some of it might be a bit excessive. I didn't notice the duplicates when I added them. As for only linking the first occurence; it's a long article and a reader who's interested in the second half only (as I was) doesn't always want to go and scan the first half for links just because they weren't where the reader expected them to be. If I had to come up with a rule of thumb it'd be to linkify the first occurence of the word in each screenful of text (totally subjective on screen size, obviously). Up to you, though. --Ejrh 14:05, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Did you enjoy the first-term holiday?

Good to see you resuming a bit of WP, Edmund. It seems to have got more attention than your bit of Paradise this year (unless you just haven't bothered to update the copyright notice and the WP number of articles - could you program a self-updating link for that one?). Don't overdo it, though - graduation is much more important. (By the way, I agree with your Rule of Thumb in the previous para.) Kia ora! - Robin Patterson 11:53, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand

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 07:36, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Golden Bay Air are holding some seats for us until 21 November

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)
