Road infobox
helpme I am struggling with the at Willis Street. See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Willis_Street&oldid=266058458

Thanks Lanma726 (talk) 04:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You need to create a Infobox road/New Zealand subtree with several files. It's geared towards US roads at the moment, and there seem to be few examples of it being used for other countries. You could look at the files used by Guam highways, eg Guam Highway 1: see the Guam subfiles. I don't know if there are any alternative templates for roads. Some countries have rolled their own, see Category:Highway infobox templates.- gadfium 05:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:NZ Historic Places Trust.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:NZ Historic Places Trust.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Disputed fair use rationale for File:1931 election on willis street wellington.jpg}
Thank you for uploading File:1931 election on willis street wellington.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Answer to Question
Hello, I answered your question here: New_contributor's_help_page, if that does not help please say why and someone will try and give further assistance, cheers SpitfireTally-ho! 07:43, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the barnstar (my first one!). Sorry if your watchlist gets a bit crowded over the next few days. If it's any consolation, mine will start getting more crowded too. I'm watchlisting every netball-related article on Wikipedia: some of the ANZ Championship articles are getting one-off IP edits. Looking at the information that's being added, I wonder if some of these players are contributing to their own articles. Cheers again. – Liveste (talk • edits) 23:03, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 20:13, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Wellington reclamation animation.gif
Hi, great work on Wellington reclamation animation.gif, but I have a request and a question: 1) Could you slow down the frame rate a little? It's just a bit too fast to follow.

2) How come it doesn't show the significant natural changes to the shoreline wrought by the 1855 earthquake?

Alexander Turnbull images on Commons
Hi, the bot is at http://toolserver.org/~bryan/flickr/upload It only gives PD options for licensing, so I'm assuming PD-old is appropriate (although I just uploaded one which is only 69 years old). However, each image on flickr says "no known copyright restrictions". I'm being relatively selective rather than going crazy uploading everything. dramatic (talk) 02:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry to eavesdrop (saw your note on Dramatic's talk), but just to note that PD-NZ seems to the appropriate tag. You can also add to  commons:CATEGORY:Images from the New Zealand National Library so we can keep track of everything.  Also note discussions re confirmation of copyright at MilHist and Commons village pump. Gwinva (talk) 22:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Category 1 Historic places
Hiya, I'm really not sure if we can justify having an article on every grade 1 historic place in the country. The ones I've looked at have no sources beyond those which confirm their listed status, and I believe that that fails notability guidelines. I think that if a set of things are each notable only for characteristic "A", then they belong in List of A instead. dramatic (talk) 09:48, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I suggest you create New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I listings, with a paragraph for each building. If there are too many for a single article, then create New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category I listings in Northland Region, etc. Where there is sufficient material for a separate article on an individual building, then link to the separate article as well as including the basic information in the parent article. If there is not sufficient material, but you have already created the article, redirect the article back to the parent. If more sources are found later, the redirect is easier to undo than a deletion. My feeling is that these historic buildings are mostly worthy of articles, although the sources required for many will be in books and newspapers rather than online. You are doing invaluable work by writing about them.- gadfium  03:04, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


 * One of my original motivations for adding the listings as individual articles was that that way they could each be geo-tagged. Once they are geo-tagged they (eventually) end on Google Maps, and (/or) I speculate iPhone apps etc. (I don't have an iPhone, but would love a device to beep whenever I am physically near either a Wikipedia article subject, or, a historic building [as there are many that we walk by without noticing]). This would promote both Wikipedia and historic places (in my opinion, the Historic Places Trust does a poor job of using the Internet and technology to promote their cause, to the detriment of both them and New Zealanders) and everyday would be like a guided walking tour. Also, I think my leaning is towards inclusionism (which is probably why I forgot to check WP:N.


 * I am relaxed as to which way the content gets added. Do either of you know if there is a way for an article to have multiple geo points? Lanma726 (talk) 03:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

On notability
So I went to the library and dug around for some books on historic buildings in Wellington. I found: which collectively mentioned almost all of the Wellington historic places I had added (with the exceptions of Fort Ballance and Erskine College, Wellington which I think I could find in other books if I looked harder).
 * Kernohan, D. (1994). "Wellington's Old Buildings", Wellington: Victoria University Press
 * Cattell, J (1986) "Historic Buildings of Wellington" Wellington: Government Printing Office

Just to double check, does this pass the benchmark for notability? If so, might we still want to merge the articles nonetheless?

Lanma726 (talk) 05:51, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say if each building gets a page or so in each book, it's notable. If it only gets a paragraph it is at best marginally notable. However, the ultimate test is when someone nominates an article for deletion. For an article with such sources, I think a nomination is unlikely. Merging of such articles to a list article as I suggested above is not necessary, but the list article might still be useful.


 * Articles can contain multiple coords (see Fjords of New Zealand for an example), but I don't know whether Google maps etc still index them in the same way.- gadfium 06:06, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * I am happy to accept their notability now, but would rather see start-class articles slowly created with reasonable references rather than a swath of stubs. dramatic (talk) 08:39, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
