Circa Theatre - info box
Kia ora, My thoughts for your thoughts in response to your edits on the Circa Theatre article. I agree the infobox for this article can't be one for a building. I am a bit new to info boxes and I often don't put them in - am trying to figure out a good one for theatre company's. I came across an arts organisation info box, not sure if this is better or not than just a plain organisation one probably. I will pay some notice to them in other articles. There are lots of poor theatre articles from all countries! So it can be hard to find good exemplars. Another thing is that possibly both the building and the company could have an article. My focus is the more cultural significance of the activity performing arts not the architectural significance of theatre buildings, although I just worked on Downstage Theatre and the Hannah Playhouse which used to be held in one article.

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
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.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
