BTW, I notice you've been working on some articles connected with South Otago. If - like me - you're an Otagoite, you might be interested in the New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board and WikiProject New Zealand. Hope you enjoy your time on Wikipedia, Grutness...wha?  06:07, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right that the WP community can be a bit off-putting - there are quite a few rules, even for something as seemingly anarchic as an edit-yourself encyclopedia. Hopefully though it won't put you off. I'm also in Dunedin, BTW (in St. Clair), though I used to live in Milton, which is how come I noticed your Toko Mouth article. There are several articles on Otago wetlands you might be able to add some more info to, such as Lake Waipori and Lake Tuakitoto (I notice you've already edited the Sinclair wetlands article).

The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case:. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 16:02, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, if you are interested in possibly writing a biography about a Dunedin personality, then I invite you to have a look at these thoughts.  Schwede 66  19:02, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
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.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics.  Schwede 66  09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
