Mt Albert by-election billboards
You uploaded File:MtAlbert 2009 Billboards3.jpg and File:MtAlbert 2009 Billboards2.jpg. I have cropped the images to focus on the billboards, and removed the surroundings. Adabow ( talk )  07:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * okay, probably next time it's best to upload the crop as a new image rather than over top of the existing file. Other problem might be that if the photo is 100% of copyright billboard it's hard to claim our own copyright. For next time anyway. - SimonLyall (talk) 08:05, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Khartoum Place
Hello Simon, how are you? Just telling you that I intentionally put the above square into the Khartoum category. This square is named for the city after all, and if the square was called "Albert Einstein Plaza", nobody would object to it being in the Albert Einstein category. If you feel that this is still an issue, can you propose ways in which we can resolve this in the category system? Ingolfson (talk) 09:07, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I looked at everything else in the category and they were places within Khartoum. It didn't seem right to include the square if it had nothing else to do with the place. For example Should George_Eden,_1st_Earl_of_Auckland be in the Auckland category since it was named after him? I feel not. Btw I grabbed a few photos of the place last week which I'll upload soon. - SimonLyall (talk) 10:37, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:02, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

could we get a new zealand music scene going? cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.177.86 (talk) 13:27, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Inglewood, New Zealand
At Inglewood,_New_Zealand you have removed an external link to the website of Michael Stevenson, a notable artist who is mentioned in the text.

I see in your edit notes that this was not an accident, and thought I'd better ask 'why?'. It seems relevant and of sufficient substance to stand. The guy represented NZ at the Venice Bienniale and was quite controversial. A link to the website expands on that for interested people.

Perhaps you were intending to delete the link to CreativeNZ, which seems to be down, broken temporarily or dead.

 * I don't really think that the article is the place to link to websites for local businesses and people. The article seems to be highlighting some very minor things, like "Established by Barry Young, it is now operated by Richard Jordan." doesn't really seem to fit well. - SimonLyall (talk) 06:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
