User talk:Icurite

Hello, another modest Kiwi pops in and starts working with no fanfare apart from a mention on the list of NZers!

And clearly into communications. Just out of interest, I looked at what the system says was your first contribution - Radio Pacific - and wondered why talkback isn't a live link. Bit of easy research for you there, I guess!

See you 'round. Best wishes. - Robin Patterson 13:34, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for the welcome! Radio Pacific wasn't my first contribution - see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&hideminor=0&target=Icurite&limit=500&offset=0. I am really trying to concentrate on having at least a useful stub for each New Zealand radio station. I've also been enjoying Simple English. - Icurite 22:42, 28 Aug 2004 (UTC)

stub tags, format
Hi Icurite

Welcome to Wikipedia :-).

A request: please use the tag to indicate a stub. Also, the first mention of the article's name in the text is usually marked up in bold ( bold ).

Thanks and keep up the good work! --Ianb 07:14, 3 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I will try to remember next time and I will try to fix up the many articles in which I made that mistake when I have the time. Thanks for the reminder. Icurite 10:15, 18 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand
Hi, You might want to consider adding User NZ res to the top of your user page, which will add you to this category automatically and also add a nice graphic. Onco_p53 07:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I took your advice. i c u r i t e

Stuckism Wales
I have put the information from Stuckism Wales into the Stuckism article here, as per merge tage, so it is currently effectively redundant, unless there is enough information to make an article like Stuckism in Australia.

Auckland meetup

Re:Hamilton suburb stubs
Just a quick heads-up about the naming conventions used for New Zealand places. A couple of the new ones you made have been moved from "X, Waikato" to "X, New Zealand". It's just to help non-NZ users of Wikipedia, who might know somewhere's in New Zealand but not whereabouts it is. BTW, there's also a specific geography stub template for New Zealand NZ-geo-stub. Grutness...wha?  02:39, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If they're unique in the world, it's just "Name", like Te Anau.
 * If they're unique in new Zealand, it's "Name, New Zealand", like Miramar, New Zealand.
 * If theyre's more than one in NZ, it's "Name, Province", like Hillcrest, Waikato - these also usually get a disambiguation page at "Name, New Zealand".
 * Thank you so much for the help. i c u r i t e

Proposed deletion of Tim Dower


Hi, I doubt you're still watching this, but I just wanted to let you know that I've proposed the article Tim Dower for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article explains why. More boilerplate details follow...

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Avenue (talk) 11:02, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
