Non-free rationale for File:NZR DA class 1973.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NZR DA class 1973.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

File:Provinces of new zealand timeline1.gif
Hi LJ Holden

You did create GIF-file Provinces of new zealand timeline1.gif. It is a great help to show timeline of establishing different provinces in New Zealand. But the graphic shows wrong maps to the years 1841 und 1846.

On 16th of November 1840 the three main island of New Zealand have been named via letters patent to New Ulster (North Island), New Munster (South Island) und New Leinster (Stewart Island) for geographical reason. see Alison Dench: Essential Dates, A Timeline of New Zealand History, Random House, Auckland, 2005, page 59

According to the New Zealand Constitution Act 1846 the Island have been divided for administrative reasons into New Ulster and New Munster. Stewart Island was taken to New Munster and on 10th of March 1848 on the North Island the area of south of Patea River was taken to New Munster by proclamation of governor George Edward Grey. http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/1966/provinces

Could you please check your animation and could you make a correction. Kind Regards. -- Ulanwp (talk) 17:50, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

WP:EASTEREGG
This is where a link appears to be something, but goes to something entirely unexpected when clicked. So, at Rail transport in New Zealand, your link  Government Department  would seem to the reader to be a link to "Government Department". Instead, it goes to the Railways Department article. In effect, such links are useless because their intended destination is hidden. Hope you don't mind me pointing this out. Akld guy (talk) 02:28, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

Notes at Wgn Rail Station
Read the manual of style a little further and also refer to the other sections concerning reference. Eddaido (talk) 01:11, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI Manual of Style/Layout --LJ Holden 01:14, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, have a good read. Eddaido (talk) 05:04, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hence why I've been using "Notes and references", as that's what major Wiki articles use, and it's in line with the MoS. If I'm wrong, feel free to point that out, just saying read a "little further" doesn't explain anything. --LJ Holden 08:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
 * The only reason I can find for this is that you inhabit a part of WP that relates to railways which I would normally have no reason to enter. Your amendment (which you correctly say is suggested by MoS) is one I have never noticed before which is why it 'stuck in my craw'. I am accustomed to occasionally creating "Notes" which appear over the template . You mess things up by taking the word notes as a heading for what is otherwise known in my experience as References —which, as I acknowledge, . . . MoS. However when you read MoS further past that first (to me strange) suggestion you will find the wording suggested conforms with what I have experienced as the norm (maybe in the part of WP I roam in). In view of the MoS statement you refer to I have not set out on a full-scale edit war to the death all guns blazing but are you sure your preferred headings are actually conventional —as distinct from being the first suggestion in MoS? I'll put links or quotes from MoS below in a little while. Regards, Eddaido (talk) 21:53, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Eddaido, I'm editing a lot of railways articles at the moment because most of the articles have been in a mess for some time with uncited and dubious claims added over the past few years. In that time the way references work and are templated has changed a lot, for the better, so that we can now reference specific pages and entire sources (usually books, but sometimes journals). After looking at a lot of other Wikipedia articles (not just in the railways sphere) I found, along with the MoS, a number had their references split between what I'd call citations and references. On reflection I agree the use of "Notes" is confusing, I acknowledge that there are also "Footnotes" - so, therefore, my solution is:

Thoughts? --LJ Holden 23:02, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Section title: References and bibiography
 * Subsection "References"
 * Subsection "Bibliography"

(Edit clash so written without reference to your last note)
 * The link you have provided above take me to these statements:
 * 1.Explanatory footnotes- these are what I would put under the heading 'Notes'
 * 2. & 3. Citation footnotes — 'References'
 * 4. 'General References'.


 * It seems to me you want to: allow no room for 1., use Notes for 2. & 3., and use References for 4.
 * Note the WP antiwar declaration Editors may use any citation method they choose
 * Then comes this section: (Am I right to guess this is the guidance you followed?)


 * If multiple sections are wanted, then some possibilities include:
 * For a list of explanatory footnotes or shortened citation footnotes: "Notes", "Endnotes", or "Footnotes"
 * For a list of full citations or general references: "References" or "Works cited"


 * I guess you pick up on shortened citation footnotes to go under "Notes", "Endnotes", or "Footnotes". But, haven't you put 'Notes' over a list of full citations and not over explanatory or shortened stuff?


 * I Hate rulebooks. Eddaido (talk) 23:11, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's the issue as always with Wikipedia... anyone can edit it, but it does have rules and guidelines, although they're fluid and change all the time and can, as in this case, be unclear and unhelpful. So we end up winging it. My rule of thumb is to refer to other articles, especially the "A" grade ones.
 * I think what your saying is right. What I've put as Footnotes should now be Notes, and what I've got as Notes should be References, and what I've got as References should be General References, although it seems it's more common to put "Further reading" sections in. --LJ Holden 23:17, 7 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Yes, that's good and now I guess why we are on different if parallel tracks. I cannot abide the super complex curly bracket form of citation and that is your preferred style. It is extremely hard to edit and I can find nothing good to say of it. So if you are using that form in your NZR work you will see what we are discussing quite differently from me. We seem to have established where we differed. Have a nice weekend, it might be wet for a change.

Ahoy
Hi, I'm wondering if you have the volume and issue numbers for some of the citations that you've used on the railroad articles. An issue came up where quite a few have shown up in Category:Pages with citations having redundant parameters. Not immediately after you edited though; it was only after someone else came through and modified the reference elements. It's been in the last week or so that I've seen those pop up. I am one of the major contributors to that tracking category and is why I noticed. Have a good day, Dawnseeker2000  20:09, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I see what's happened, all fixed now. The "Issue" numbers refer to the number in the NZRO series of a volume, so they're not really issues. All that's needed for accurate citation really is the NZRO number and page. --LJ Holden 20:27, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

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.

Proposed deletion of United-Reform Coalition (disambiguation)


The article United-Reform Coalition (disambiguation) has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "This disambiguation page is not required (WP:ONEOTHER): both articles link to each other. In any case, the title of the page should have an endash not a hyphen"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
