Hello and welcome
Hello Paddythewon, Welcome to Wikipedia! I looked at the interesting new stub you created about Elaine Bay and I fixed it up a little bit. It is quite nice, but it really has to have a reference or two -- WIkipedia contains information that is based on reliable published sources, so simply writing what you know to be true about a place (or subject) is not suitable, even though it may all be correct info. You need to include some published sources to back up what you are saying.

I see that the DOC website has info about their campsite on Elaine Bay, so you could certainly use that as a reference:

http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-stay/conservation-campsites-by-region/marlborough/sounds-area/elaine-bay/

Most of the other Google results I found on a quick search are rental websites for holiday homes, so they are not very suitable to use as a reference. Maybe you have a book or some other source that you could use in addition to the DOC webpage? I also see that if you use Google images you may be able to pull up some more webpages that you could use as reliable sources.

It is hard at first getting used to writing for Wikipedia, so if you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask me on my talk page. All good wishes and Happy New Year to you, Invertzoo (talk) 17:08, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

Victoria Street
Thanks for creating a stub for Victoria Street, Christchurch. I suggest that the biggest improvement to your edits would be to add references, and Help:Referencing for beginners would be a good place to go to for guidance. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask right here.  Schwede 66  18:08, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
