Notability
Hi Schwede66, thanks for the your comments on British rowers. I have had a similar discussion in the past about notability and would argue that any sports person who is capped at full international level by Great Britain (or their respective nation) in their respective sport is notable (even more so in a major championship). You only have to look at football if the arguement arises because bios are completed on all football players right down to tier 5, 6 & 7 of the football pyramid and if comparing a bio for an international rower competing in the World Championships against a footballer that played several times for Forest Green Rovers or Solihull Moors FC then clearly a justified arguement exists. Many thanks Racingmanager (talk) 10:51, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Schwede66. I’m new to the Wikipedia editing, but i’m trying to add intresting info.

The page i’m trying to add to is: Heather Tanguay ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Tanguay#Early_life_and_family )

I’m trying to add the following info under the section EARLY LIFE AND FAMILY: Heather’s oldest grandson is the former IL Ulfstind (link to wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IL_Ulfstind ) footballer Henning Kvaal-Tanguay.

Here is the reference to his footballing career at the club: https://www.fotball.no/fotballdata/person/profil/?fiksId=2409143

Henning Kvaal-Tanguay is a notable and well known figure in Northern Norway, and his connection to Heather Tanguay will help boost the viewing numbers of her wikipedia page.

Hope this information helps. Please contact for further info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.189.25.18 (talk) 02:22, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I've already left you a message on User talk:109.189.25.18 about what to do and what not to do. IL Ulfstind doesn't even mention Kvaal-Tanguay. Why would the information be of relevance? The person profile is one of a thousand. The club is sixth tier in Norway.  Schwede 66  02:29, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for answer. Wanted to help with intresting info to the page, especially with fun fact that few people know about. How many former kiwi mayors have grandsons playing football in Northern Norway above the arctic circle? The english page for the club, IL Ulfstind, is quite poor. But the club is well known in the area and the players are highly regarded in the community. Here is even an newspaper article from when he (Henning Kvaal-Tanguay) first joined the club’s youth setup after his move from Palmerston North, were Heather Tanguay was the mayor.

Missing cite in Norman King (New Zealand politician)
Back in 2012, you added short cite to "Zavos 1978" but no such source is listed in the bibliography. Can you please add? Also, suggest installing a script to highlight such errors in the future. All you need to do is copy and paste importScript('User:Svick/HarvErrors.js'); // Backlink: User:Svick/HarvErrors.js to your common.js page. Thanks, Renata (talk) 23:01, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Your reversions of my edits to "Template:NewZealand-gov-stub"
Greetings and felicitations. I noticed that you reverted my edit to Template:NewZealand-gov-stub with the reason

"Undid revision 989078085 by DocWatson42 (talk) restore as per MOS:HYPHEN"

I actually made that change per MOS:SUFFIXDASH, since "New Zealand" is a spaced compound. In light of this would you please be so kind as to undo your reversion? —DocWatson42 (talk) 07:53, 17 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Self-reverted as requested. I think I've come across MOS:PREFIXDASH and MOS:SUFFIXDASH before, but it's so obscure that it may be worth using those links in an edit summary so that other editors can read up on it.  Schwede 66  18:05, 17 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Thank you. ^_^ —DocWatson42 (talk) 18:07, 17 November 2020 (UTC)

Next election
I think you have a typo in the html comment you added at 2020 New Zealand general election. The comment says "before October 2022, do not change this to 2023; your edit will be reverted". I think your mention of reversion applies to changing the word "Next", but the year in the comment "October 2022" appears to be incorrect. If I'm right, please change it. If there's something I don't understand about the electoral cycle, please post on the talk page of the article to explain why this Parliament can not last beyond two years.- gadfium 19:52, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry if it's a bit obscure, gadfium. If an early election hasn't been called by October 2022, we know that the election will be held in 2023. It takes a wee while for an election to go through the process after being called and it must be held within the time frame specified of the law. So by October 2022, we'll know that it will be held in 2023. Before then, a snap election may be held in an earlier year.  Schwede 66  20:11, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should expand the html comment then, because I doubt I'll be the only person to misunderstand it.- gadfium 20:18, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * How's that?  Schwede 66  21:02, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
 * All good, thanks.- gadfium 21:22, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Confusing reference in an article on Himalayan Tahr, and sections out of place
moved to here from m:User talk:Schwede66

I have been researching Himalayan tahr in New Zealand and found this article: Himalayan tahr

In the section "Current control method" the following statements is made

"In New Zealand alone, an estimated $840M have been spent on alien species per year (0.9% of GNP), 25% being towards vertebrate mammals. Of these total costs, $400 M have been dedicated to defense against the invasive species. If conditions maintain, "the total cost of alien vertebrates in New Zealand may therefore exceed $270 million per year".[33]

The reference (33) for this statement is: Clout, M. N. 2002. Ecological and economic costs of alien species in New Zealand. Pages 190-193 in D. Pimentel, editor. Biological Invasions. CRC Press

The referencing is a bit unclear - it's a simple text box and not the usual WP style. I think the editor wants to cite the Clout article in Pimenter's book "Biological Invasions" of which I have yet to find an online copy to read. I don't know if I should change the format of the reference as I haven't seen the source material.

Also the sections in the article: Control by hunting Current Control method seem to be general sections which are not attached to the section on New Zealand although they relate only to New Zealand. What would you advise? Should I just move the sections and put them with the New Zealand section? Many thanks Christine User talk:Noracrentiss 26 November 2020


 * I've moved this to here as I don't keep an eye on my meta.wiki page. To answer your question on the format of the reference, there's nothing wrong with reformatting it. In fact, it would be good if you could apply a reference template as part of a tidy up. With regards to your content questions, I'm afraid it isn't an area of interest to me. Hence, I'll stay out of that. In a general sense, I would always encourage other editors to go ahead and make something better. If others disagree, that's a perfect opportunity to discuss the issue on the article's talk page towards agreement. I hope that helps.  Schwede 66  08:42, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, reference has been re-fornmatted. Noracrentiss (talk) 07:45, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Please review the comment(s) at your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! —Bagumba (talk) 10:06, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Dixon Jr.
I saw your edit changing Dixon to Dixon Jr. Typically per MOS:SURNAME, the surname can be presumed to refer to the subject of the biography. Also at that point in the article, the two previous uses of "Dixon" also referred to the younger one, so it shouldn't be ambiguous which Dixon is being referred to. In any event, "Dixon Jr." might not be correct either. "Jr" is typically only used when the father and son share the same middle name, but it's not apparent from his father's article what his middle name was. I'll leave it to your discretion. I already approved the DYK. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 18:30, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi @Schwede66, thanks very much for the specific advice on my contributions, I've followed up with a re-request after amending some of my edits. This isn't urgent and another admin will review the request if you can't but if you have time I've re-requested the right at permissions/Autopatrolled and your input would be helpful.

Thank you for tidying up at this article. I learnt a few editing ideas from your work.Road to Oblivion (talk) 10:47, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Issue regarding reverting my edit
Hi @Schwede66. I noticed you reverted my edit on the page of Peter Fraser, when I removed the "PC" postnominal letter from his title. "PC" is only for peers in the privy council, in order to distinguish them from peers who arent in the privy council, as all peers will have a suffix, and those below a marquess will use "the right honourable", even if they arent in the PC. Non-peers on the other hand will just use "the right honourable" to identify themselves as being in the privy council, so the postnominal letter shouldnt be used for non-peers. Therefore in the case of Peter Fraser, his title would be The Right Honourable Peter Fraser, CH (Though of course there isnt any official rules on styles of address, this is just what is commonly done). Hopefully that all makes sense. NotADev (talk) 01:12, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
 * You cannot just go round and remove content without an edit summary and on top of it marking this as a minor edit. Where is the discussion about the above issue? If there is one, and consensus was achieved along the lines you outline here, you need to refer to that in an edit summary. If the discussion hasn't happened yet, I suggest you initiate that.  Schwede 66  01:17, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Not sure how you don’t see this as a minor edit, the difference to somebody reading it would nugatory and would surely be considered minor. And uh, i can start a discussion but i fear nobody else will contribute to it for a while, so it would be pretty pointless for such a petty edit.

I copied all the current category contents below so no work is lost if it is deleted: - RevelationDirect (talk) 09:23, 26 December 2020 (UTC)

The Bledisloe Medal was instituted in 1930 by the then Governor-General of New Zealand, Lord Bledisloe. The original terms for the award of the Bledisloe Medal set out in 1930 specified that recipients should be alumni of the institution. In 1995 the Lincoln University Council approved new conditions. These expanded eligibility to current or past staff members, with the basic criteria for the award remaining the same: “Making an outstanding contribution in their chosen field, advancing New Zealand's interests and/or bringing credit to Lincoln University."
