Your submission at Articles for creation

I noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/List of busiest airports in new zealand. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.

Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.

Here's a video tutorial - hit play, then right-click for "full screen".

Here's an example of how to add references:

Chzz is 98 years old.<ref> The Book of Chzz, Aardvark Books, 2009. </ref>

He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>

== References ==

{{reflist}}

That makes the references automatically display as small numbers^[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.

Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

Best, ChzzBot IV (talk) 00:12, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Air Safaris (NZ)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Air Safaris (NZ) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

• If you want to upload an image from your computer for use in an article, you must determine the proper license of the image (or whether it is in the public domain). If you know the image is public domain or copyrighted but under a suitable free-license, upload it to the Wikimedia Commons instead of here, so that all projects have access to the image (sign up). If you are unsure of the licensing status, see the file upload wizard for more information. Please also read Wikipedia's image use policy.
• If you want to add an image that has already been uploaded to Wikipedia or Wikimedia Commons, add [[File:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text.]] to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text with a short description of the image. See our picture tutorial for more information. I hope this helps.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 02:09, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

The article currently isn't sourced to multiple, independent and reliable sources that talk about the subject in-depth. Unfortunately it needs this evidence to show that it is widely notable before the article can be accepted. Wikipedia isn't a business directory for every small airline. The 'notability' guidelines for companies also request at least some evidence that the company has been talked about in general news sources (rather than just specialist magazines).

Thanks Nathan I am really rapted will be still working on it to improve it.CHCBOY (talk) 10:49, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi CHCBOY, I've reverted your change of name of the above article. Air Safaris Ltd is an inappropriate name - the 1962 airline is also called Air Safaris Ltd. The NZ company is not referred to as Air Safaris Ltd in any of the sources. Normally we don't use the legal status of a company in its Wikipedia name. I've moved the page back to a name that differentiates it from the other airline. You may want to take a look (if you haven't already) at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (companies) and Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation page or hatnotes?. Sionk (talk) 11:10, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Air Safrais GAF Nomad N.24A ZK-NMG.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Air Safrais GAF Nomad N.24A ZK-NMG.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

I heard through a contact it was to come down as in the eastern frame. Cera to buy up all the existing buildings if they are damaged or not they have to make way for the new park.

Mainland Air

I see you have created Mainland air by copying and pasting the contents of the draft User:CHCBOY/Mainland Air. Unfortunately, this leaves the history of the article behind with the draft, and we are required to keep this history as part of the copyright of the various contributors to the article. If this had been an article you created in your userspace as a draft, and which had no other contributors, this would not have been a problem, but this article was created by others and moved to your userspace so you could rescue it from deletion.

As a minor issue, you have named it with a lower case "air" but the company title uses an uppercase.

I suggest you proceed by tagging the mainspace article as {{Db-author}}, and then using the Move button to move the draft out of your userspace to the correct title. You will then have to re-apply changes made to the mainspace version, but these do not look to be substantial.

Alternatively, please follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen to have the history merged with the article. I have the tools to do this merger, but it's a slightly tricky procedure which is best left to someone who does this frequently.-gadfium 23:45, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Gadfium, about the title I checked the website [[1]] and it has their title written MAINLANDair one word so that was why I used that version in the Wikipedia title for the airline. I did try to attach the old history with the new history page and asked for help as well but so far no reply. As you said its a bit tricky can we request it get done by a proffesional.CHCBOY (talk) 10:44, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Their website does use different forms of the name but in plain text the version "Mainland Air" is used. I see @Airplaneman: has taken care of the histmerge for us.-gadfium 04:07, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

Destination maps

Hi, I see that you want to keep destination maps on airports' pages. In that discussion lots of editors agreed to remove destination maps from airports and airlines. I've read again this discussion and just one editor disagreed with the proposal, but at the end he didn't say anything. Then, if you have a look here, you'll find clearly written "Do not add destination maps, this makes the Wikipedia look like a travel guide. It is also considered that they are a duplicate of information...". So I see no reasons to keep it on airports' articles like Auckland Airport. Thank you. Wjkxy (talk) 18:57, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

• Actually it was two editors Ashill and csalinka who gave good reason for them to stay also Hawaiian 717 in the previous discussion. You can also see the Auckland Airport talk page for why it should be kept in. The WP Not Travel Guide note is only a suggestion for articles and not compulsory for all to follow.CHCBOY (talk) 20:08, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
• I've sometimes found administrators interested in aviation that removed destination maps saying that consensus was reached. Anyway, as nearby all other airports don't have a destination map, I think it is better if all airports are kept in the same way. Wjkxy (talk) 20:46, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

When is an AOC holder not an airline?

All companies operating aircraft commercially must have an air operator's certificate (AOC). If you are operating a single Robinson R-22 and doing traffic reports for a radio station, you need an AOC. If you have a Fletcher FU24 and are spraying crops, you need an AOC. If you are taking photographs for Google Maps from a Cessna 172, you need an AOC. If you are teaching people to fly, you need an AOC. Conducting organ transplant flights in a Cessna Citation? You must have an AOC. If you are being paid to carry someone shooting deer out of a Hughes 500, you must have an AOC. Doing scenic flights in a Nomad from Lake Tekapo over Aoraki? You must have an AOC. If you are operating Aerospatiale Ecuriel helicopters up onto Fox Glacier, you must have an AOC. Having an AOC does not make a company an airline.

The onus is on you to demonstrate that the companies in the list are actually licensed as airlines. Glenorchy Air isn't - it says so on its own website: "Glenorchy Air is a fixed wing scenic flight company". Ridge Air isn't; from its website: "RidgeAir NZ is a fully professional Air Transport Charter Operator operating New Zealand wide. We also offer Multi Engine Advanced Instrument Flight Training." Island Air Charter isn't; from its website: "All flight prices promoted on this website are based on minimum passenger numbers being met. If these minimum numbers are not met, the price per seat will increase to offset the missing seat(s)." That isn't an airline operation, that is an air charter operation. Mountain Air isn't; from its website: "Flights leave on demand with a minimum of 2 people". That isn't an airline operation. I looked carefully at the various companies' websites and I also looked carefully at various pages on the CAA website; what research did you do, other than glance at a Wikipedia article that lacks references for the information it contains, and then use that unreferenced information as justification for undoing my earlier edit? YSSYguy (talk) 14:22, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

• You are so rude and insulting! But that is how you act to all other users on wikipedia. For your information I did not just glance at the article. You are making up false alegations about me on here. I not used any unreferenced info to justify anything the definition is from wiki on what an airline is. I not make it up they can be either charter or scheduled operators. Most of those are the later category. So not have to be scheduled operation only. Anyway there is no use trying to argue with you its just a waist of time. You always make sure you have it your way.CHCBOY (talk) 05:05, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Your earlier edit summary was "But that is the definition of an airline in wikipedia why do you think they are not airlines you not have reason for it yet." I do not know anything about you. I assume you are male; I assume you are living in or near Christchurch; I assume that you are working Airside at CHC, but I do not know if that is accurate and I do not know what you do for a job. I do not know whether you know what is an airline or how much you know about airline operations; based on what you have stated and done up to now, I assume that you don't know much - but I do not know. You posted "why do you think they are not airlines you not have reason for it", in the message above you now have my reason (which took me two hours of work to compose before I posted it), as well as a bit of education as to what is (or more accurately what isn't) an airline. Despite this it seems you still do not understand the difference between a charter company or scenic flight operator and an airline. The companies themselves state on their websites that they are not airlines. Above you posted "You are making up false alegations [sic] about me on here. I not [sic] used any unreferenced info to justify anything the definition is from wiki on what an airline is." Well, as the only definition of what is an airline in the Airline article is the Lead, and the Lead has no references, then Yes, you actually have "used unreferenced info". Now, where is the insult? YSSYguy (talk) 07:08, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

The insult is that you think I not know anything, well you assume that. Does not make it true. You can read who I am on my user page. So don't make any more assumptions about me. I find it highly offensive.CHCBOY (talk) 13:40, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!

FlyStark deleted not the size of the article, but significance of the subject

 

Regarding Speedy Deletion

Hello, CHCBOY. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.

I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting one or more of the Categories for Speedy Deletion.

Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid or what Wikipedia is not.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject.

Sometimes articles are deleted because they contain content copyrighted elsewhere. Such content can be used as a source of information, but the content here must be completely rewritten from scratch.

Some articles contain material written in a promotional tone. These must often be written from scratch. They are vigorously deleted.

Any content that is negative in tone and unsourced or which is disparaging will also be vigorously deleted.

Any deficiencies with notability, sourcing, or things to avoid should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions.

For test edits, click CHCBOY/sandbox

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard to guide you through the creation process.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search

If you have verifiable information from reliable sources that show subject does meet notability requirements Let me know.
CONTENT IN ARTICLES NEEDS TO BE RELIABLY SOURCED.

Orphaned non-free image File:Newmans air.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Newmans air.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:46, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

File:Air Freight NZ..jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Yes, under 2 separate discussions, 1 and 2, it was determined that the consolidation process was out of order and lacked consensus to do so.

Air Auckland and Salt Air's services.

As mentioned on their respective websites, both airlines operate daily scheduled flights.--Biponacci (talk) 00:34, 4 January 2020 (UTC) I can't find any scheduled flights on Salt Air website anywhere only charters with nothing timetabled as such however the Air Auckland has timetabled flights under air taxi from Ardmore so this can be included. Salt Air previously had scheduled services about 2 years ago. But nothing listed now probably due to the change of owner. CHCBOY (talk) 03:19, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

Airline slogan Revert

CHCBOY, earlier today, I removed the company slogan from Kiwi Regional Airlines. This is because this parameter is no longer supported in Infoxbox Airline and puts the page in the maintenance category Category:Pages_using_infobox_airline_with_company_slogan to be fixed. You reverted my change. I am going to make this correction again. If you revert my correction a second time, it will be considered vandalism. If you really think a marketing slogan belongs in an encyclopedia article, put it in the body of the article, not in the infobox. Dhpage (talk) 21:37, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Ok thanks for the explanation as it was not obvious why on the page itself why you were doing the edit. CHCBOY (talk) 17:46, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of AIr Auckland

The article AIr Auckland has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page is a misspelling. The content of this page should be at “Air Auckland” which is currently a redirect

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Air Kaikoura to Wellington

Hello CHCBOY, you seem like a reasonable contributor and it's a honor to be writing to you.

The reason Im here is because of the Edit to Wellington Airport. Air Kaikoura no longer services this airport; that information is on their article and also on their website. It seems that now they only do charters around a bay, no longer flying scheduled services. Thanks and God bless you! Antonio Kaikoura Martin (Que paso, amigo?) 19:45, 3 August, 2023 (UTC)

Jetstar hub.

Can you provide a reliable secondary reference that states Jetstar has a hub in Auckland. Simply that you can transfer at an airport does not make it a hub it needs to be something built into its business model. Maungapohatu (talk) 18:44, 19 August 2023 (UTC)

We won't be able to find a secondary source for hub even for Air NZ at Auckland. There is no mention in the media. However Jetstar Auckland hub fits the definition for a hub from the Airline hub Wikipedia page. Plus Auckland is listed under the Jetstar infobox as the hub for New Zealand. CHCBOY (talk) 00:02, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

This is from the hub page:

An airline hub or hub airport is an airport used by one or more airlines to concentrate passenger traffic and flight operations. Hubs serve as transfer (or stop-over) points to help get passengers to their final destination.[a][b] It is part of the hub-and-spoke system. An airline may operate flights from several non-hub (spoke) cities to the hub airport, and passengers traveling between spoke cities connect through the hub. CHCBOY (talk) 00:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

So by this definition the Jetstar operation at Auckland would be regarded as a hub. CHCBOY (talk) 00:07, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

I have to disagree - you are going to need a reference for this to stay as is made absolutely clear in WP:BURDEN Maungapohatu (talk) 04:02, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

There is no reference for this. It's the same for Air NZ and actually I can't find any references on others eg Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne Airport pages. Have you come across any on Wikipedia? CHCBOY (talk) 06:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

As a third party, I'd say that Jetstar doesn't have any 'hubs' full-stop as a low cost carrier (LCC), I can find very little secondary sources refer to the Jetstar hubs as 'hubs', and some of the primary sources refer to the Jetstar 'hubs' as 'bases' (ie Melbourne Base, Sydney Base, etc). On a similar matter, I can only find some secondary sources stating that AKL is a hub for Air New Zealand, and like with Jetstar, I can't seem to find any primary sources stating that Air New Zealand has their 'hub' at Auckland, despite NZ clearly scheduling AKL as a hub.

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.

Oslo Airport, Gardermoen

Per WP:BURDEN, it is you who need to provide proper sources. The link to the covid cut is certainly not an adequate source, as the flight was still active in 2022 ([3]. The Banner talk 21:58, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

It's you that needs to provide a source that it's still in operation as you haven't provided it. It is not listed on the Moscow page and it's also listed as terminated on the Aeroflot page. You still need a valid source for it. That is why I put CN a month ago. I have provided a source that it was cancelled but you still have yet to provide any source to match your claims. CHCBOY (talk) 23:09, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

No, my friend. You claimed that the flight was cut. Unfortunately, based on a source that made it clear that was because of Covid. I gave you a link that the connection was still active after the flight was cut according to you. Did you miss all the internation sanctions against Russia, including closing of airspace? So please, provide sources that the flight was cut. The Banner talk 23:14, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Where is the link as you have not provided any source that it's just suspended. It has not been operating for a very long time. CHCBOY (talk) 23:47, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I am still waiting for your source that the flights were cut as you are claiming. Conform WP:BURDEN. The Banner talk 00:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Actually it's the other way round as from WP: Burden

"The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material,"

So therefore it's you that needs to provide the source as you keep adding it in without one. CHCBOY (talk) 02:34, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

You were the one to claim that the route was cut without any evidence beside an outdated and clearly incorrect link to Covid-measures. I am still waiting for your evidence that the route was cut.

And yes, I can prove that the connection was suspended due to international sanctions but your removal is now the first problem at hand. The Banner talk 09:09, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

I have been asking you for the evidence for a month now but still you refuse to provide it CHCBOY (talk) 14:14, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

I am still waiting for your proof that the connection was cut. You give a source from 2021 that the connection was cut due to Covid-related reasons. But there is a source that makes clear that the connection was reinstated after that. So per WP:BURDEN, it is up to you to provide the source of the cut. The Banner talk 09:19, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Finally you provide a source now after all this argument but your source is 23 months old so not very up to date either. The flight has not been operating over the last 12 months as you probably already know. CHCBOY (talk) 10:19, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

That is correct, but it still proves that the flight was active after you claimed it was cut. The Banner talk 10:34, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

That is all very much pendantik argument about the past but it's not operating since. CHCBOY (talk) 10:38, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Why is asking for sources that the connection is cut pedantic? We have WP:V and WP:BURDEN in place. We don't have a policy WP:ISAYSOSOITISTRUE. The Banner talk 11:18, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

We go round and round in circles you are saying it's true by keep adding it in CHCBOY (talk) 20:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

I am not saying that it is true or not. I am asking for a source to back up your claim that the connection was cut. The Banner talk 21:25, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

January 2024

Hello, I'm The Banner. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Oslo Airport, Gardermoen have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks. The Banner talk 23:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Oslo Airport, Gardermoen shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. The Banner talk 23:15, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

You were also involved in edit war so you were not inicent CHCBOY (talk) 02:26, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups

Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.

We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at mikerove.wiki if you have ideas or suggestions.

• Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga

We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:

• Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
• Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)

You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)

!vote means "not vote"

I've stumbled upon your comment at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2024 April 3. Please note that, on Wikipedia, consensus is determined by discussion, not voting, and it is the quality of the arguments that counts, not the number of people supporting a position.

Hilary picture, Wellington Airport

Hi there. I removed the Hilary picture form the page because Hilary is not mentioned in the text and it's not a particularly good image of the hangar. I will try to find a better picture of the hangar. Was the HIlary visit significant? Wainuiomartian (talk) 19:19, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

It's really only the best photo of the 3 photos next to the history section. As it was taken in 1956 it's not a perfect image but there is not any others on wiki from that era unfortunately. CHCBOY (talk) 03:33, 11 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Jalen we could change it to the Picton Aerodrome page as it is the one in use for it CHCBOY (talk) 21:43, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
