that's fine with me. Yours in WP:FAITH, Peter Nankai (talk) 09:14, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up List of schools in the Auckland Region. Nice job!-gadfium 04:20, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] NZ election templates

As it is unknown how several minor parties will fare, and wikipedia is not in the prediction business, I have included all parties in both {{New Zealand election, 2011}} and {{New Zealand election - minor parties, 2011}}. Also removed Independent Chris Carter from the list of party losses, as he was elected in 2008 as a Labour candidate and the list is to record changes from election to election, not changes within a parliamentary term. FanRed XN | talk 03:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

I agree with you - I'll hide the minor party one on the main article (within the exclamation tags) to make it easier, and all the results at this stage will go into the main table. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 03:50, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
Reverted your edit to template - your assertion that 33.99 to 27.48 is a change of 6.51, not 6.50 may appear mathematically correct, but these numbers have been rounded to two decimal places (three times - 2008 and 2011 results, and the 2008-11 swing) whereas my calculations are only rounded on the final result. Math is (796,880/2,344,566*100)-(614,936/2,237,462*100) or 33.988379939 - 27.483639946 = 6.504739993 ... rounded to 6.50 FanRed XN | talk 21:22, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Permission to use image

Hi

I am a designer currently working on a booklet for Te Aho o Te Kura Pounamu (The Correspondance School http://www.correspondence.school.nz/). The correspondance school is a non profit organisation and the booklets are only used for educational purposes.

I would like to gain permission to use this image posted on wikipedia. Hau Nui Wind Farm stage 1 from Range Road.JPG. What would the cost be?

I look forward to hearing from you.

[edit] Template:NZ electorate result

Hey, I've combined your two templates into Template:NZ electorate result if you want to use it. Add "hold=true" to turn it into the incumbent hold, otherwise it defaults to a change. Will get a user doc up at somepoint. Hope it simplifies it a little. Mattlore (talk) 05:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - there's also a template for new electorates (e.g. Botany in 2008) - Template:NZ electorate result new
Ok, might be able to work that into it too at some point! Mattlore (talk) 06:48, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
new=true should now also work...Mattlore (talk) 07:04, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Great work! I've tweaked the category sorting and added width=5 to the /meta/color cells, as is standard across much of the NZ politics pages and templates. FanRed XN | talk 09:30, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Fanx. Mattlore (talk) 02:47, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Just so you know my intentions, I plan to re-add the third place information to 1996 - 2002 but not 2005-> as the information is covered in the candidate pages. The template can handle either just two or all three (unless someone can break it :)) Mattlore (talk) 02:47, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

I got an edit conflict converting more of the 1996 results over - I'll trawl back through the page history to find the third place candidates for those who are missing (Pakuranga to Waipareira) once the conversion is complete. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 02:51, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Apologies for the conflict, I'll focus on 02 for now. Mattlore (talk) 03:45, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
Great, I'll postpone updating 2011 results and concentrate on 1996 - 2002 then. FanRed XN | talk 11:51, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Electoral referendum map

Hey Layden, can we update the electoral referendum map? It's currently only showing advanced votes. --LJ Holden 09:46, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, I've been busy lately. I will try to get a simple Keep/Change map up tomorrow morning (when I've got an internet connection with a upload speed faster than 56kbps!), then try working on a graduated map with the colour depth reflecting the majority. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 09:52, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
The full updated map is completed and ready - will upload tomorrow morning. Lcmortensen (mailbox) 10:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
Awesome! --LJ Holden 22:25, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Carterton Balloon Accident/Crash

You beat me to it by 59 minutes! diff–Me and diff–You. Good article! --220 of Borg 04:48, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Great minds think alike. Sometimes there is bound to be article double-ups in major events, especially when there is no clear consensus on what the title should be (for future reference, the general consensus is "<year><place><event>" - I almost created the article with the year as 2011!) No harsh feelings! Lcmortensen (mailbox) 05:04, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Actually I think all up FOUR pages were created, one 2 hours after mine, but AFAIR they re-directed it after about 3 minutes. No hard feeling, I just could have used the time differently! The big kerfuffle over the 2011–12 Los Angeles arson attacks shows how silly edit warring over a redirect is. FYI there is now a very small article about the 1989 Alice Springs hot air balloon crash. Regards, 220 of Borg 10:00, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

I've reverted you page move of 2012 Carterton hot air balloon crash to Carterton hot air balloon crash per disaster naming consensus. Disasters are titled <year><place><event>, e.g. 2010 New Zealand Fletcher FU24 crash, despite there being no other "New Zealand Fletcher FU24 crash". Lcmortensen (mailbox) 21:49, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Did you read WP:PRECISION? We have article titles to which the year is unnecessarily appended because errors have been made by editors unaware of the reason to include it. (For example, Amish school shooting briefly was titled 2006 Amish school shooting.) —David Levy 22:02, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
I just repaired the double redirects, by the way. —David Levy 22:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
