Just to let you know we're switching for a while to lunchtime meetings for Wiki Wednesday. This week's one is at the Big Orange Cafe, 12:00, Wed 4th. Also don't forget about the Edit-a-thon on November 15th. It would be good to have some experienced Wikipedia editors around to help the beginners.

Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Martin (International advocate)


A tag has been placed on Robert Martin (International advocate) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. red dogsix (talk) 02:22, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Given by Rana Waitai for his Wikipedia page.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Given by Rana Waitai for his Wikipedia page.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

About Draft:Robert Martin (disability rights activist)
Hi Riverviewhouse, I see you're having a bit of trouble getting the reference formatting right but don't worry about it, I will fix it. If you just give the web link I will take care of the rest of the details. There is however a problem with the tvnz reference, when I try to open it the site says the page doesn't exist, to I tagged it as a dead link. If you could find the correct link I will also format it properly.

I'd also like to invite you to join WikiProject Disability if you're interested, we have lots of challenging (as well as easy) and interesting work there. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:38, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thank you for your input for Robert Martin's page, I located vidcam and he was very pleased too. I have added Robert to disability rights activist page, do you want to add some more to that entry? Haven't checked TV reference yet. Riverviewhouse (talk) 01:04, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Photo of Rana Waitai provided for Wikipedia.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Photo of Rana Waitai provided for Wikipedia.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:58, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

I'm working on a page for Donald Trott, founder of the NZ Opera School, former pupil of Whanganui Collegiate.
I've hesitated .... should I do a page for NZ Opera School first?

Updating a page name ... how?
The Royal Wanganui Opera House is about to have a name change. Next week the Whanganui District Council is poised to change the name of the Opera House to, likely, Royal Whanganui Opera House. I'm looking forward to making changes within the page but can someone please guide me with changing the page name. Thank you. Riverviewhouse (talk) 03:20, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
 * See Moving a page.- gadfium 04:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! The council is expected to approve the change nest Tuesday. I'll follow "Moving a page" and hope it is straight forward. Riverviewhouse (talk) 23:13, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello from Feilding
Hi! My friend John Gillespie is visiting and thought I would be interested in your page.

I was born in Wanganui. Maybe we can compare notes some time.

Robin Patterson (talk) 01:29, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Hello Robin, thank you and hello! I have seen John Gillespie today and it's good to have a visit to wikipedia again. My hometown is Ohura but my great grandparents were here in Whanganui for a time. What brought your parents here? J Riverviewhouse (talk) 08:42, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
