Victoria Square article - Points of interest
Great work on this article. I have a suggestion that you create new headings instead of "Points of interest". There could be separate top-level headings for: Buildings, Bridges, Statues, Installations, etc.

The content in the existing "Points of interest" section includes history, and buildings that are no longer in existence. Perhaps this is out of scope, but one building that I remember from my childhood is the Hay's department store (subsequently Farmers), that had a frontage on Armagh Street, facing the square. The building was notable for many reasons, including the roof top playground for kids, and the (rather dodgy) Father Christmas with the beckoning finger that was mounted on the front of the building, directly facing Victoria Square.

Finish the WP:SPLIT procedure on Christchurch
Hi Cloventt, given the acceptance above, you are free to finish the trimming of the Christchurch article in the history section. I have preemptively added the main hatnote to the section. Cheers, microbiology Marcus [petri dish·growths] 18:56, 3 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Great work on preparing the new article split out from the Christchurch article. This had led to a major improvement. It has resolved the overly-large amount of content about history in the main article, reduced the difficulties of enhancing coverage of history within that article, and created an interesting new article that can now be further expanded.
 * One of the points of the history of Christchurch that is worth expanding is the work associated with land drainage - since this was so fundamental to settlement on the flat land. I have a useful source, and plan to add some content from this source over the next week or two. I will also aim to include a small amount of the most pertinent information about land drainage in the main Christchurch article._Marshelec (talk) 07:58, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

Victoria Square - GA review
I am willing to undertake a GA review of Victoria Square, Christchurch. However, before I begin (or someone else gets started first), it is best that we find a time when both of us can be available. The guidelines suggest that GA reviews should be completed ideally within 7 days, but this is only possible if the nominator and reviewer are both available and can commit the time required. Please let me know a period over the next two months that would be best for you, I will see if we can agree a period for the review._Marshelec (talk) 01:49, 17 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Awesome! Thank you for the offer. I am very flexible, so whenever suits you the best. David Palmer// cloventt (talk) 03:24, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words
Your mastodon contribution was drawn to my attention. Very kind of you. I should really get an account, too, and finally abandon Twitter, eh?  Schwede 66  05:09, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
