User talk:Austrodyptornithian

Welcome!
Hi Austrodyptornithian! I noticed your contributions to Hemideina maori and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay.

Because that photo you added is so good, I think we should use it to replace the lead image. I saw you’ve posted a bunch of other photos too, and while I haven’t gone through them all, please don’t hesitate to be more bold in putting good photos up higher in the article, where they can replace older and lower quality ones as the top image.

I’m a Kiwi, so feel free to shout out to me personally at my talk page if you need help editing, but you can always visit the Teahouse to ask questions too. And if you’re ever wanting to check in with other users working on NZ or Aussie topics, there’s a bunch of people who monitor New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board and Australian Wikipedians' notice board where you can post comments or questions at the bottom just like I am here (just don’t forget to sign with four tildes ). — HTGS (talk) 08:09, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Coopers Lagoon / Muriwai
Kia ora! Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for adding a picture to the Coopers Lagoon / Muriwai article. I've been meaning to get out there for a while but have never had the chance - I was wondering whether you may have a wider landscape photo of the lagoon itself, which we would be able to use as the lead image for the article? Or if not, whether you'd happen to be out there in the future and would be able to grab one? No stress if not, but figured it's worth the ask! Turnagra (talk) 20:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Turnagra.
 * I am glad that I could be of service by providing a photo for the Coopers Lagoon page, since it is one of my more frequently visited sites for birding! Ironically however, I don't think I have that many good photos of the lagoon itself (I almost certainly have decent photos of it somewhere, but it would take ages of searching through 10+ years worth of photos). I think I'll make that my mission for next time I go there actually, to get a nice scenic photo of the lagoon! Thanks for inquiring about this!
 * I am very new to editing stuff on Wikipedia, so I'm not sure how to let you know if I add another photo, but I will do eventually! Austrodyptornithian (talk) 06:00, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
