Congratulations on the Auckland Museum residency
Great to see that the Museum got such an experienced Wikipedia editor! Would you be interested in joining the Aotearoa Online Meetup on Jan 31 to say hi and introduce the editing community to the project? There will also be a WikiCon in Auckland in about July if you wanted to give a presentation on how the residency went. Anyway, all the best with the project, and if you want any assistance or to organise an online event just get in touch with some of the regular Meetup crew. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 03:08, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! I'll likely be able to attend (will update the page with my attendance when I know for sure). --Prosperosity (talk) 04:13, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Auckland Residency and resources that may be of assistance
Congratulations on the appointment! I hope to see you at one of the upcoming Aotearoa New Zealand Wikipedian online meetups. In the meantime while reading the GLAMWiki monthly report I've just come across these recently created resources that may assist you in your role. It's some documentation of workflows for the ingestion of bibliographic data into Wikidata. I hope this is of use and good luck! - Ambrosia10 (talk) 18:35, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That looks like a great tool, thank you! --Prosperosity (talk) 21:24, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Arthur Pycroft
Hi there, here's something where you may be able to help. I've written a bio for Arthur Pycroft (1875–1971) and in 1935–36, he was president of the Auckland Institute at Auckland Museum. Therefore, Auckland Museum would hold contemporary photos that by now are out of copyright and could be used in the article. Those photos aren't online, though. There's a book chapter of Contributions to the History of Australasian Ornithology online and figure 20 in chapter 2 has a photo of him sourced as Auckland Museum, which shows Pycroft in middle age (it says "taken soon after WWII but I'd say he looks more like 50 in that photo, which would make this a photo from the 1920s). Could you possibly do some digging and upload anything that ought to be freely licensed to Commons?  Schwede 66  19:32, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I'll see if there's anything the museum owns or is out of copyright, and let you know! --Prosperosity (talk) 00:49, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There's a great photo from later in his life in the collection that I'm checking for copyright status, but there's this group photo from the 60th anniversary which has no copyright restrictions. --Prosperosity (talk) 23:13, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Awesome. Thanks so much. That photo is a real puzzle, of course. We know the names (sometimes just with initials) but they are in random order! Who's who? Ah well, I'll do some detective work. Ah well, here's piece number 1: the anniversary meeting was held on 7 November 1927.  Schwede 66  02:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * No worries!
 * Number 3 on the top row should be A.G. Lunn - is the name order mirrored (so the name is behind each person when you flip the physical photo over)? --Prosperosity (talk) 03:20, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Jump onto Commons; I've added "notes" to the image for those who I have identified (or where I think I've identified them).  Schwede 66  04:00, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

Ok, I've figured out who the 10 people in the photo were and they are now all in Wikidata. Now the tricky bit – can we match more of the faces to the names?  Schwede 66  04:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, that was simpler than I thought. I had nine matches and that left only one chap (Henry Bruce Morton). BTW, you were right with Lunn.  Schwede 66  10:31, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * That's awesome! Most of these people don't seem to have many pictures up online, so this'll probably be great for future articles. --Prosperosity (talk) 23:10, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I thought so! It was the eyebrows that were a give away for me. --Prosperosity (talk) 23:13, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I've now nominated this at DYK (as nominations have to be done within seven days of starting the article) and it's already had its initial review. To that end, it would be good to get the better-quality picture soon. How's the copyright research going?  Schwede 66  01:07, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The potential photo we found seemed like its copyright had expired, but after some research we found out the photographer was active in the 1970s (i.e. definitely not 50 years since their death and out of NZ copyright). There's a photo on Google with a parrot which looks great, but I'd have to do some in-depth research on that. --Prosperosity (talk) 05:44, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated.  Schwede 66  08:48, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Just noting, in case you weren't already aware of it, that any NZ photo taken pre-1945 (conservatively, pre-1 Jan 1944) is now in the public domain, regardless of when the photographer died. The template in Commons in that case wold be . —Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 08:59, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, this photo was likely from the 1960s! --Prosperosity (talk) 09:46, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red
Hi there, Prosperosity, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you've already written a few biographies of NZ women and Japanese singers and am glad to see you now intend to create many more. In connection with organizing an editathon, you might find How to run an edit-a-thon useful. The essays Primer for creating women's biographies and Ten Simple Rules for Women in Red might also help. I see there is also a page on Meetup/Auckland. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 15:02, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Auckland edit-a-thon on performing arts 14 Aug
Kia ora Prosperosity, I am running an edit-a-thon in Auckland on performing arts Sat 14 Aug. I need to make a project page for it but am not sure how to title it. Do I need to call it Auckland Meeting 12 or can I call it 'Auckland Women in Performing Arts Edit-a-thon' - or any suggestions. I am asking you as you organised the GLAM edit-a-thon / event. For references you can see the Dunedin and Wellington event pages which are linked in the project page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pakoire/Performing_Arts_Aotearoa_-_Wiki_Project.

Many thanks, Pakoire (talk) 22:11, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
 * @ I'd recommend going with Auckland 12, although it's up to you! As long as it's linked in the . There were a choice of event titles with ours (we could have gone with the Auckland title, or the Women in Red title), but decided the location title was better suited since it was invisioned as an in-person event. As long as it's in [[Template:WPNZmeetups|the template, I don't think there'll be a big issue. --Prosperosity (talk) 22:34, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

記事名移動について
初めまして、Hattoと申します. 宇多田ヒカルの記事名を「Utada Hikaru」から「Hikaru Utada」に移動するようリクエストしているのを見つけてこちらに投稿いたしました. 僕のユーザーページを見て頂ければ分かる通り、僕は生粋の日本人で英語はあまり得意ではありません. あなたのユーザーページも見たのですが、ニュージーランド人で日本語が分かる方のようですが本当でしょうか？そのため、このように日本語で記述しています. 宇多田の件についてですが、僕も記事名は「Hikaru Utada」の方がいいと思っていて、なぜ「Utada Hikaru」になっているのか不思議に思っていました. ところでなんですが、そうなると同じく日本の歌手である倖田來未の場合でも同じではないかと思います. 彼女の記事名は現在、「Koda Kumi」になっていますので、これも「Kumi Koda」あたりに移動した方がいいのではないかと思ったのですが、どう思いますか？--Hatto (talk) 15:23, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * さん、はじめまして！最近、日本語を使う機会があまりないので、変なところをすみません. WP:JTITLEではこういう考えがあります.
 * ほとのとの記事では[個人名][家族名]が適切（明治時代以前は[家族名][個人名]）
 * 英語圏で使うみんな分かる名前があれば、このほうがいい（特にニュースや論文などの二次資料）
 * 宇多田ヒカルさんの件は一般の記事とちょっと違います. ２０年前にほとんど「Utada Hikaru」を使いました（本人でも、英語圏のニュースや雑誌でも）. 日本人の歌手の中で、ローマ字で[個人名][家族名]を使う人は一般的ですが、まれに[家族名][個人名]を使う歌手がいます（たとえば、「Utada Hikaru SINGLE COLLECTION VOL.1」や「KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2006-2007 〜second session〜」）. その人は海外で人気者になる機会に、時々日本で使った[家族名][個人名]のローマ字名前をそのまま英語でみんな使います.
 * 宇多田さんは数年前からオフィシャルサイトで「Hikaru Utada」を使い始めて、最近のニュースでほとんと「Hikaru Utada」が書かれたんだから、記事名を移動したほうがいいと思い始めます. 倖田來未さんなら「Kumi Koda」「Koda Kumi」両方使いますが、今のところはどちらのほうがいいとははっきりわかりません. 初音ミクなら「Miku Hatsune」の順番は英語で見たことはないから、絶対みんなが分かる「Hatsune Miku」の記事名が一番適切と思います.
 * 説明が曖昧なところがあれば、言って下さい！--Prosperosity (talk) 23:13, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
 * 返信ありがとうございます. 日本の著名人は基本的に他国では「個人名 + 家族名」で報道されていると思っていましたので、英語圏のニュースや雑誌では「Utada Hikaru」として報道されていたとは知りませんでした. 初音ミクも「Miku Hatsune」ではなく「Hatsune Miku」だとは思ってもいませんでしたが、あれは実在の人物じゃありませんからね、僕も記事名は「Hatsune Miku」で問題ないかと思います. とはいえ、倖田來未は「Kumi Koda」も「Koda Kumi」も両方使うので、どちらがいいとは言えないことから、宇多田の記事のように記事名移動のリクエストも出す予定は今のところはないということでしょうか？--Hatto (talk) 01:57, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Waitakere City to West Auckland, New Zealand
Kia ora, just wanted to follow up with you as a few of your changes have come up in my watchlist recently because I have a lot of football related articles in it. I see you have been changing Waitakere City to West Auckland and while in a lot of cases that is fine. I do question them being changed when it relates to when the time of that article might be relevant. Waitakere City was correct from 1989 to 2010 so changes like in the article 2013 Chatham Cup the competition was played when it was called Waitakere City. In the OFC Champions League with the link in that one being about a game played during the 2007–08 season, then it was also called Waitakere City. They still link to a valid article for people to read, and it was the correct link for that time.

 * Sure thing. I've stopped, and have been trying to leave references to Waitakere City for events from 1989 to 2010, but occasionally I've been making a few mistakes when a competition was held post-2010, but the qualifying matches were held earlier (i.e. when they were played in Waitakere City). --Prosperosity (talk) 23:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No problem and completely understand sometimes it isn't clear either. Its not the end of the world having either/or linked but just nice if relevant to have Waitakere City if during that period. — NZFC  (talk) (cont)  00:17, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Thank You!

 * Thank you! I was a big fan of hers back in the Viva AI / Independent era, and I'm really happy to see that her more recent albums/songs are getting good pages.
 * Did you mind if I changed up the discog format a little? I think that some of the things that were appropriate for the 2010s don't make as much sense now (like the sales data and the awkward Taiwanese chart, which didn't age well). --Prosperosity (talk) 21:54, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can make any changes you want! I would so much appreciate any new contributions.
 * I am so glad you are noticing her recent album/songs pages. She has been getting a bit more coverage on English news sites and magazines such as Billboard recently which has been helpful in creating some of the articles such as "Summer Magic" and Kansha!!!!! - Thank You for 20 Years New and Best. Creating the article for her most recent single "Aldebaran" was a bit tough for me but it was so worth it in the end. Someone even translated it so now it is on the Japanese Wikipedia as well, which was pretty cool. I hope they do that for more of her articles there eventually since I noticed most of them do not exist on there or are stubs. -Verso- (talk) 23:57, 9 August 2022 (UTC)

Redwood 70
Unfortunately this is a little before my time, although I remember attending Nambassa and Sweetwaters festivals (it isn't true that if you remember these events you really weren't there). You might like to add mention of Redwood 70 at New Zealand music festivals since it precedes the festivals currently listed there.- gadfium 01:56, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've added some links. I think I remember my first concert! Although who knows if I actually remember Boney M or not (less because of drugs, more because of being two). --Prosperosity (talk) 02:26, 18 August 2022 (UTC)

Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand has funding for support of Auckland editors
Kia ora, I've also reached out to User:Susan_Tol a couple of weeks ago and I thought it might be useful to reach out to you too. I was wondering whether there was anything else that Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand Inc could do to support gatherings of Auckland editors this financial year i.e. until 30 June 2023? We've got funding available for running edit-a-thons or a WikiCon-type event or a content competition if this was something you or User:Susan_Tol were interested in organising.

Categories for 'watersheds'
Kia ora. I see you created several categories for 'watersheds' as subcats of Category:Drainage basins of New Zealand. Were you aware that 'watershed' means a drainage basin only in North America, and that in NZ and the rest of the world it means a drainage divide? There are several terms that would be much more appropriate for NZ – 'catchment', 'drainage basin', 'river basins' or just 'basin'. A variety of these terms are used for subcats at Category:Drainage basins of the United Kingdom. Note also that most of these terms do not need to be plural when referring to the catchment or basin of a single harbour or gulf, e.g. Category:Poole Harbour catchment. 'River basins' would be an exception that needs to be plural (unless referring to a single river basin, of course).

I would find any of these other terms acceptable. If picking a preference, I would go with 'catchment', which seems common in NZ, and is also used most frequently in the aforementioned UK category. Thus we could have Category:Hauraki Gulf catchment, for example. Cheers. Nurg (talk) 02:12, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't have any strong ties to watershed, it's just the word I was most familiar with. I'd be happy to support a move. --Prosperosity (talk) 21:47, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Category:Hauraki Gulf watersheds has been nominated for possible deletion, merging, or renaming.

I nominated an article that you started for DYK - Template:Did you know nominations/Mahurangi Harbour. I hope that you don't mind.

 * Thank you! I know how to submit for DYK and I really should do it more, but there are a couple barriers for me (promoting things feels so much more stressful than submitting articles, so it gets put to the bottom of my tasklist. Also I find reviewing other articles difficult). --Prosperosity (talk) 22:01, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Lotu Fuli
Do I see this right that you got this article into mainspace through copy-paste? If so, please note that’s one of the biggest Wikipedia sins possible. All the attribution gets lost by doing so. You must only ever move articles; never copy-paste. If a redirect is in the way, ask for someone with permissions to move the item for you.  Schwede 66  23:21, 15 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I started off with the Shane Henderson article as a template, and in the process of creating the article, discovered the 2020 election draft and incorporated everything I could from there. I didn't intend it as a copy-paste, but honestly I think the article ended up as basically a version of the draft in the end. I'm very sorry about that! Prosperosity (talk) 23:41, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's a bit more complicated than I thought. I'll do a history merge.  Schwede 66  02:43, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

Your references to Reidy 2013 are not resolving, and I cannot quite see why. It might be that the entry at Wikidata is not separating the author surname from the full name correctly.

 * I was right that the Wikidata entry was creating the reference as "Reidy, Jade" rather than as "Reidy". I have corrected the article so the reference links work. If you now change the Wikidata entry, you may need to revert my last edit at Mount Roskill.- gadfium 18:08, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Prosperosity. I noticed that your recent edit to St George's Street railway station added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 04:04, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
