|||
[[File:Wikimedia-Meetup-GoldenBay-Mohua-v2 05.jpg|thumb|400px|[[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 [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Mohua_/_Golden_Bay|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 [[Golden Bay Air|the airline]] flying into [[Tākaka Aerodrome|Tākaka]] uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to [[Wellington Airport|Wellington]] '''and''' we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs. |

== 2023 New Zealand general election - party vote result map == |
|||
Thanks so much for your effort in making the result maps for the 2023 NZ general election. Could I ask you please to update https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_New_Zealand_general_election#/media/File:2023_New_Zealand_general_election_-_List_Results.svg as, the official results confirmed the Green Party as the party vote plurality winner in Rongotai, over turning the election night result of Labour - which the map still indicates.

== Thanks, a comment, and a query == |

Thanks heaps for all your good work on photos. |
|||
I'm not sure whether you are watching [[c:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Debbie Ngawera-Packer Mar 2022 PANG (cropped).png|the deletion discussion for the Debbie Ngawera-Packer photo]], but I've done some more digging and have now voted "keep". |
|||
We are about to get photos of all current National Party MPs (how good is that?) and there's [[Template:Did you know nominations/Vanessa Weenink|this DYK nomination]] under consideration. I've made up a collage of the initial four photos that we had, this became six, and will soon be something like 25 photos. Would you be interested, and do you have the skills and software, to put those 25 photos into a collage?

Look for column 'E'; everyone with "yes" needs to be in the collage. The ones that aren't in the collage are those where we don't have a photo, or where the article has already run as an individual hook (5 of those; we had to agree to this to keep everyone happy). Appreciate your help. Be in touch if you have questions.

Ok, what I've done is as follows: |
|||
* uploaded the version without borders [[c:File:2023 New Zealand general election new candidates collage (no borders).png|as a separate file]] |
|||
* copied all details across, e.g. categories and image notes |

* reverted this file to the version with borders |

DYK for Mayors in New Zealand
[edit]
On 24 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mayors in New Zealand, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that New Zealand mayor Georgina Beyer was the world's first transgender mayor? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mayors in New Zealand. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mayors in New Zealand), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Nga wai hono i te Po
[edit]I know the impulse to go fast and be first, but don't go too fast on this topic. You've made a mistake on her birth name. Nurg (talk) 23:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- ok TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:23, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- could you change it if you know what it is, i just put what i thought rnz was saying TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:26, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
Don't go too fast on the orthography of her name either. You've used two so far. There are numerous variations, so it may take time and discussion to figure out the best form. Nurg (talk) 23:29, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- yeah i saw the source updated how they were spelling it so i updated it with that, yeah we probably need a discussion to figure it out - i think there's inconsistency rising from waikato vs general maori spellings TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:31, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- There's a number of factors. A) it's a complicated name (b) the issue of how to write the long vowels (c) Waikato orthography peculiarities (d) and more. Nurg (talk) 23:45, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- I was comfortable with the first form you used. It is used in an official announcement - https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1054686259361452&set=pcb.1054686282694783. Not that we necessarily use official names. Nurg (talk) 23:49, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
- And the Facebook announcement seems to be inconsistent about macrons and double vowels. This Spinoff piece is better with macrons, but can't settle on whether "Te" is capitalised or not. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 02:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
