Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Auckland, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Connor ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thank you for
your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from
Invasion of the Waikato into
George Grey. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere,
Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an
edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and
linking to the copied page, e.g.,
copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{
copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you.

In citation templates, you need to use the page

A tag has been placed on File:Camp Hale Auckland.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused duplicate or lower-quality copy of another file on Wikipedia having the same file format, and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Sdrqaz ( talk) 16:39, 1 March 2022 (UTC)
The file File:Takaparawhau & Ōkahu Bay 2022.JPG has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or onthe file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi,
When an editor reverts your bold move, please don't reimplement it; this is actually a form of edit warring. Instead, please open a move request. In addition, it is generally good practice to open a move request for any move that is likely to be controversial even if it isn't reverted; any move involving moving an article from or to a dual name is likely to be controversial.
As such, please revert your repeated move to this target and open a move request. BilledMammal ( talk) 23:58, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

Your edit to

Hi James, I just want to talk here because I get the impression this is something that is going to carry on elsewhere if I don’t address it. You continue to refer to Māori names being “regained” or returning in some way. I find this troublesome, as it implies that Māori people or the Māori language stopped existing for some period.
Most recently you changed Auckland Domain to say that the volcano (maunga) “regained” the name Pukekawa. It is my read of the situation that the Māori name has existed all along, but has finally been governmentally recognised as the official English name. The hill clearly hasn’t had an official name before, so I assume you’re not trying to say that. Maybe you can clarify what your intended point of view is here, because I don’t want to have the same conversation at every turn. — HTGS ( talk) 03:42, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Using too many quotes is incompatible with an encyclopedic writing style and may be a copyright infringement.

You have recently edited a page related to gender-related disputes or controversies or people associated with them, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially-designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{ Ctopics/aware}} template.

Hi there! Something you might not know about is that it's against copyright to upload close-ups of information signs on Wiki Commons.

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.

Hi there, the source I used on the Mount Albert suburb page lists suburbs or neighbourhoods and if they have an established reo Maaori name, uses that as well (e.g. Grafton has nothing, but Parnell has Panēra). I'm happy to add more sources that specifically call Mount Albert suburb the suburb Ōwairaka, if you want. It's exceedingly frustrating that there's a suburb with the same name next to it. -- Prosperosity ( talk) 23:31, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

There is a new requested move discussion in progress for the Charles III article. Since you participated in the previous discussion, I thought you might like to know about this one. Cheers. Rreagan007 ( talk) 06:39, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
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. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi there, the source I used on the Mount Albert suburb page lists suburbs or neighbourhoods and if they have an established reo Maaori name, uses that as well (e.g. Grafton has nothing, but Parnell has Panēra). I'm happy to add more sources that specifically call Mount Albert suburb the suburb Ōwairaka, if you want. It's exceedingly frustrating that there's a suburb with the same name next to it. -- Prosperosity ( talk) 23:31, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
