Error re times in Wikipedia logs
The times recorded in Wikipedia logs are UTC, not NZ time. "00:25" was 12:25pm in NZ, not "around 25 minutes past midnight". And so on. Nurg (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Oh lordy. Thanks for that Nurg. Rookie error! 2404:4408:673F:200:BC77:BA71:3FCF:8AF9 (talk) 03:34, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
