Mihi Edwards
Nice article (as usual). I thought I'd share something useful with you with regards to bios. Readers may come across her full name or, if they read historic documents, find her under her earlier name (be it a maiden name or when she was known as Anne). To make things as easy as possible for Wikipedia users, you usually do one or two things:
 * 1) Set up redirects from all names that people may use for a search, and/or
 * 2) Where a page exists already for a search term (i.e. most often that would be a disambiguation page), you add the person to that page.

For the former, the way to do it is to set up a redirect pointing to the target article and then you move that redirect as often as is needed to cover all the possible search terms. See here how it's done. For the latter, I've added her to Anne Edwards (disambiguation) and Ann Davis.

There's literally a million things to know. :-)  Schwede 66  02:04, 28 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the helpful tips (also as usual!). :) In particular, that moving the redirect trick is very handy! Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 02:49, 28 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Mostly yes, look around on my talk. How about you? - Great DYK below!--Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am glad to hear you are mostly doing well, as always you are so productive! <3 I am also well, thank you, although real life seems to not leave as much time as I'd like for Wikipedia. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:15, 8 September 2022 (UTC)

ESEAP 2022 - They've requested we sing a song on Friday night
Kia ora, I've been contacted by Ghozi on the ESEAP organising committee. He's asking the New Zealand contingent to sing a song on the Friday night. I thought we could discuss this with other ESEAP attendees to decide on the waiata and have a practice before hand. Can you send me your email to victoria.leachman[at}gmail.com and I'll add you to the email discussion. Einebillion (talk) 01:35, 7 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Are you going to be on the same flight? Perfect opportunity for a rehearsal! I reckon that most of the passengers will join in. :-)  Schwede 66  02:09, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Especially if we pick a crowd-pleaser like "Tūtira Mai Ngā Iwi". :) Alas, I only fly up on the Friday, and I think most of our contingent are up earlier for the Worlds of Wikimedia! Chocmilk03 (talk) 02:13, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Rosie, it was lovely to meet you too! I very much admire your work, and likewise looking forward to meeting at the conference soon. Hope all goes smoothly with the travel! :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 07:55, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks
Cheers for looking at Jamie Beaton. If you are interested, I've nominated for DYK. Would like you to review it if you fancy. Thanks! MaxnaCarta (talk) 02:20, 12 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Very happy to, thanks for asking! I enjoyed reading the article. I've done the DYK and have one query (plus some other minor comments). Hope all makes sense. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 04:09, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Cheers! Wikipedia is the best hobby. How many people can read a random newspaper article, then write an encyclopaedia entry on this person out of interest? Technically anyone, but it feels a privilege nonetheless. I'll go review your feedback. Cheers MaxnaCarta (talk) 04:36, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Ahaha. I have spent quite a bit of time today working on an article for a man who made artworks out of toast, so I absolutely know what you mean. :D Chocmilk03 (talk) 04:41, 12 January 2023 (UTC)

Just replying on here so as not to clutter up the DYK nom! Thanks for your reasonableness and for the thoughtful words :) fortunately I am not directly affected by the Auckland floods, although it's pretty scary to see their scale and impact. :( Hope all is well on your end, and keep up the great work! I'll watch the progress of the article with interest. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 03:39, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * No worries, indeed better not to clutter up the DYK thread. Stay safe new friend. MaxnaCarta (talk) 03:47, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thanks so much, that's lovely to receive! Thank you also for nominating the article. :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 20:48, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Indeed. The barnstar is hereby seconded!  Schwede 66  05:40, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the article, and I'm a bit sad about the image gone. - For the first time I have no DYK on this day (I stepped back) but remember a 2016 DYK, Hana Blažíková, a Czech who sang German music in Japan. Girls and women sang how Bach arranged Pergolesi's Stabat Mater to a new text paraphrasing Psalm 51, last Sunday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:18, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * In case you didn't see why the image was removed, it wasn't discussed at WP:ERRORS but at Talk:Main Page.  Schwede 66  21:29, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I saw it, and understand correctness, but was still sad because I found it expressive. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:58, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * That's understandable. It was a nice image. (Still is, somewhere)...Larataguera (talk) 22:12, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Gerda Arendt, that's a beautiful DYK article, thank you for sharing! I'm sad to see about the picture as well; I guess I have now learnt about some Wikipedia policies and discussions around images of people that I didn't know about. And learning is good, even if I don't necessarily agree with the approach (or with the people who called the image unflattering!).
 * @Schwede66, thank you for linking the discussion, as I wouldn't have known where to look either. Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 00:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

 * @MaxnaCarta: you're most welcome! I was happy to be able to help, and thanks for your good work on drafting the article. :) Hope to see you around DYK more in the future! Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 01:39, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Literature section - Culture of New Zealand
I wonder if you might like to upgrade and add some citations to the Literature section of the article Culture of New Zealand? Pakoire (talk) 11:13, 30 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Pakoire eek, it absolutely needs an upgrade. Thanks for the nudge! Will put this next on my list. :) Chocmilk03 (talk) 21:32, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
 * yay. feel free to update citations in other areas too! Pakoire (talk) 10:20, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Margaret Frankel
That name, when it popped up, sounded rather familiar. And ; I added something to her husband's article about their house. Ah well, she's got a few notable family members. I wasn't aware that John Anderson Sr had more than two sons who were engineers. The two eldest, it would seem, ended up with the main company in Christchurch. Anyway, we have a near-complete photo library of Christchurch buildings listed with Heritage New Zealand. And surprisingly, both listed buildings that Frankel has lived in don't have contemporary photos, although they are both still standing. Very odd; I was running around for years and took photos of everything that the EQs hadn't finished off (and I snapped many damaged buildings before they got knocked over).  Schwede 66  05:42, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Correction; we do have photos of Frankel House, just not very good ones.  Schwede 66  05:58, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Oh interesting! It's very cool that the building not only still exists but still exists as a community/arts centre. May have to pop down next time I'm in the area and snap some photos (if you don't beat me to it). Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 06:16, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You'll probably win that race; I don't get to Christchurch that often and when I do, I'm generally busy-as.  Schwede 66  11:51, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Chocmilk03,

Please do not draftify an article that is in the middle of an AFD deletion discussion. It doesn't stop the discussion and is a page move that will just need to be reverted. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 06:03, 31 July 2023 (UTC)


 * @Liz thanks and apologies, lesson learned! May I ask, what is the correct procedure in this instance? The article creator wishes to move it to draftspace, which seems sensible (discussed on the talk page). Do I need to ask them to confirm that on the AFD page directly and then it can be actioned by the closer? Thanks again, Chocmilk03 (talk) 06:14, 31 July 2023 (UTC)

Art Project
Kia ora, I'm an artist based in Kirikiriroa and interested in talking to you about a project I'm working on. This isn't the easiest way to reach out but if you'd be keen to hear a bit more I'd be really excited to connect with you and send you more info (as well as a portfolio and future project proposal)! Georgekranky (talk) 21:57, 4 August 2023 (UTC)


 * @Georgekranky, kia ora and what an intriguing message! Definitely interested in hearing more; I will send you an email via Wikipedia. :) Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
