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)[reply]

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.

Kia ora, I have done so. TheLoyalOrder (talk) 08:07, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, a comment, and a query

Thanks heaps for all your good work on photos.

I'm not sure whether you are watching 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 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? Schwede66 04:45, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Great that we're getting photos for national mps, such a huge missing thing. I can probably collage some photos yeah. TheLoyalOrder (talk) 04:49, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, so much talking about it. Here's the project, in case you'd like to help next time. Schwede66 04:54, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, the photos have arrived and I've processed them all (e.g. created crops). This spreadsheet identifies the 20 photos that need to be assembled in 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. Schwede66 09:04, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, we have 21 photos to process. Nancy Lu was initially missing from my list. How are you placed with putting this together? Schwede66 04:41, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Kia ora, made a collage of the photos File:2023 New Zealand general election new candidates collage.png. Let me know if you want any changes. Uploaded 2 versions there, one with coloured borders, one without (current version) - just as potential options. Cheers TheLoyalOrder (talk) 23:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome back! Thanks for that. Not sure which one I prefer. I was wondering how you'd arrange 21 of them in a grid, but I see you've just dropped one and that makes it an easy 4x5 grid. Can you remember who you left out? Schwede66 01:59, 1 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
