Talk:Environment Canterbury

Updating this page
I work in the Environment Canterbury (Canterbury Regional Council) Communciations section. I'm here to contribute information that will improve the quality of Environment Canterbury-related pages.

I am aware of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and I intend to abide by them.

I intend to volunteer information on the talk pages, and ask for Wikipedians' help rather than directly editing the pages myself.

If you want to contact me, please leave a message on my talk page, or e-mail me at webmaster@ecan.govt.nz PegasusAoraki (talk) 02:53, 17 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your contributions. I've started giving this page a bit of a clean up. There's certainly more that could be done. Yes, as an employee, you might well have a conflict of interest, but the way you are going about it (i.e. declaring this upfront on the talk page) is good. In my opinion, if the proposed edits are uncontroversial (like for example changing the logo), then it's fine that you:
 * declare your COI on the talk page, or make a reference to the talk page in the edit summary, and
 * edit the article directly.


 * If others see it differently, I'm sure we'll hear about it. However, given the poor state of the article prior to my recent edits, there don't seem to be too many editors out there that care enough about it.  Schwede 66  06:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Proposed change: Chair
I propose changing the name displayed as Chair listed in right-hand column box from "Alec Neill" to "Margaret Bazley".

Details of new Chair can be found here:

and

Proposed Change: Logo
I propose that the Environment Canterbury logo displayed on the Wikipedia page be replaced by the new logo (with Maori name added).

The Meeting Minutes of 24 June 2010 where the incorporation of the Maori name into the logo was resolved can be found here:

http://ecan.govt.nz/news-and-notices/minutes/pages/council-minutes-240610.aspx (Item No. 9)

The new logo on the Environment Canterbury website is available here:

 * If you need a hand with uploading the logo to Commons (that's where it should go), let me know. You can reply here.  Schwede 66  06:02, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Infobox changes
From Schwede66's talk page:

Let me reiterate: I do not fundamentally care which template takes its place if the template I chose does not suit, I just care that a template does take its place. I think my rationale at However ... end up with a "large" edit is sufficient to say that the old infobox was not the correct infobox to have on this page. Any steward of this page may feel free to use any other infobox template they wish without notifying me they would prefer otherwise. --IznoPublic (talk) 04:00, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 21 October 2021

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 

The result of the move request was: moved. Appears to be supported by a large number of sources on the page. The title "Environment Canterbury" was previously in parentheses before it was moved to "Canterbury Regional Council", so this seems non-controversial.

Canterbury Regional Council → Environment Canterbury – The council is almost exclusively referred to as Environment Canterbury. Even in instances where the term regional council is mentioned, it seems to be in the context of "regional council Environment Canterbury" instead of as part of the name. Turnagra (talk) 17:44, 21 October 2021 (UTC) The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
 * Support I had previously thought I should put forward a requested move; Turnagra's rationale matches my experience (I live in Christchurch).  Schwede 66  23:55, 21 October 2021 (UTC)
