I'm just reformatting the talk page, just so it's easier to use.

Instructions/rules for use:

[edit]
  • Do not disrespect anyone on this page. This means anyone, so no racism or stuff like that. If you do, the post will be removed with haste, and possibly reported to the admins/moderators.
  • Please sign your posts. You can do so with four tildes (~).
  • Anything in the chat section and the notice section will be occasionally purged to save space, unless I (Sebandreas) give an exception.
  • Please place notices in the notices section. This keeps it organized. Any notices I've read will be removed, except in special circumstances. So admins, don't fret if the notice you place is removed by me (User:Sebandreas), I have already read it, and don't need to see it anymore.
  • Do not post pictures of cats that don't use grammar correctly. You'll be banned if you do. Memes are welcome, however.
  • Most things that are not covered here, but are covered over at the guidelines page, with a few exceptions.

Please stylise your posts as follows:

  • Four tildes (~)
  • Your message
  • Anything that doesn't break the rules/instructions.

If possible, please indent your posts (and use Level 3 headers) so they cascade and are easier to read. Thank you for your co-operation.

Also, I apologize if anything terrible happens while this account is being used.

Please paste notices/boilerplates here, and please use smaller headers, or Level 3 headers if you wish to start a new section. As stated above, any notice or boilerplate removed by me most likely has already been read or purged, and removed to save space.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

[edit]

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!

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest.

If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

[edit]
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]
