List of power stations in New Zealand
Hey there. You may be interested in List of power stations in New Zealand? -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:46, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice one, thanks. Just wondering what the story is with referencing in tables like that, like should it be done and if so where?


 * It is essentially a table of links to articles. The articles have the info in the table (hopefully). The articles are referenced so I see no need to reference the table itself. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:39, 25 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh yep that makes sense, cheers -SmokeySteve (talk) 22:18, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

HORAHORA 1971 "Scrap Metal" recovery operations
GENERATORS LOST TO ANY RESTORATION PLANS. Hopefully this is where reply posts go. I am new to editing Wikipedia. A spiral bound 52 page history named "Horahora" (1997, no ISBN registration) is available from Waihi Museum NZ$22+postage. Five pages with photos, names, details, describe salvage works. I have information on the shut-down party that has been forwarded to the authors, assuming they are alive, via Waihi Museum for incorporation into the booklet if they wish. The flooding wiki paragraph still needs updating to comply with the eye-witness account in this booklet as per my submitted alteration that you may be able to tweek a little more. Note that the fallacy regarding the generators kept running oft quoted in publications, can be buried after reading this booklet : re specifically No7 jambed headgate. Can you help by inserting the booklet reference info into the article for me? I am not comfortable with all the 'blue' functions yet. I can tweek some more of the Horahora listing again when time allows. I am ex-NZED HydroDesign 1961-85. Tiki2miki (talk) 22:45, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia
Hi, WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (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)
