User talk:Cyberwitchy

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * Help pages
 * Tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Manual of Style

I see you may be a New Zealander (or at least, appear to be by your edits). There are several NZ related Wikipedia pages.


 * Portal:New Zealand
 * New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board
 * WikiProject New Zealand

Adding to your userpage will list you as a New Zealander.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place  on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Changes to 800 Words, episode titles
Hello,, I restored the Number titles of the Episodes for the article on this television program. My reasons are discussed on the Talk page for the program's article at Talk:800 Words. Your change for season 1 here, Season 2 here and Season 3 here have not been reverted due to changes following your change, but redone. Another editor requested a source for your unexplained changes to the titles, putting a citation needed flag on every title you changed. Thus I made the changes. I hope you will use Help:Edit summary when you make such large changes to a page, especially when you have no obvious source for the edits. See the Talk:800 Words for all the other sources, beginning with Seven in Australia who do not use word titles for the episodes of this program, 800 Words, only the word Episode and its number within the season. --Prairieplant (talk) 03:08, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

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)

Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups


Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.

We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at if you have ideas or suggestions.


 * Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga

We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:


 * Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
 * Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)

You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)
