Speedy deletion nomination of Choice And Partnership Approach
A tag has been placed on Choice And Partnership Approach requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

2008 Waihopai GCSB Attack
In 2008 three members of the loosely formed peace activists, Ploughshares Aoteoroa punctured the protective dome of one of the satellite dishes at a Government run satellite interception station in an attempt to either persuade the U.S. Government to abandon their war in Iraq, or to pressure the New Zealand Government to abandon their support for the Echelon programme. The three ( Adrian Leason, Father Peter Murnane and Sam Land), were charged but were acquitted in a controversial jury trial, claiming that they had undertaken their actions in order to protect civilians killed by US forces in Iraq. The Government Communication Security Bureau is still debating whether to try and charge them the estimated one million dollar cost or repairing the dome.

Biopsychosocial Model
The Biopsychosocial model (as I see it), does not aim to address anything of the sort. In it's bare sense, it only expands the concept of illness being caused by some change in pathology, physiology or function (the biomedical model), to include notions of social and psychological influence in the causation. The social sciences literature around the medical model means something quite different, which in the medical area would probably be more in the medical paternalism / medical ethics areas. Also, if 'nothing about us without us' runs both ways, most doctors would find some of what is written about the 'medical model' moderately offensive, and not view it as reflective of their own views or the current profession as a whole. I might cautiously try to work on these areas in the future. Egmason (talk) 07:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC) off page Social model of disability

Disambiguation link notification for January 16
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cider, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nelson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Notification of automated file description generation
Your upload of File:Axial piston pump.svg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File:Associación de Scouts de Bolovia.svg
Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:11, 16 September 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Associación de Scouts de Bolovia.svg
Thanks for uploading File:Associación de Scouts de Bolovia.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:24, 18 September 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)
