Disambiguation link notification for August 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited North & South (New Zealand magazine), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Finlay Macdonald ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/North_%26_South_%28New_Zealand_magazine%29 check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/North_%26_South_%28New_Zealand_magazine%29?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Brachaspis robustus
The quote from Dr. Murray that you added to Brachaspis robustus is delightful. It really tickled me that "they can actually jump, they just don't land very well." Schazjmd  (talk)  22:01, 6 August 2019 (UTC) Thanks! Tahatai (talk) 00:11, 7 August 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Craig Hilton for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Craig Hilton is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Craig Hilton until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:48, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Science / art practice is an explosive new genre - this subject is one of New Zealand’s leading practitioners and has an excellent array of msm references in specialist art magazines, a high quality art book, an interview on NZ national radio, three interviews in two differing monthly glossy Magazines, two interviews in a large regional city newspaper, - a video interview posted on the site of the Auckland City Art Gallery (perhaps our leading National Art Gallery) - plus a scientific journal article. I don’t think I have ever had before such a wide array of references for a single artist or scientist. Tahatai (talk) 10:21, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Welcome
I've commented on the Craig Hilton AfD, have read on that article's talk page that you are the author of that article, and what your relation is to the subject. I thought I pop by and say welcome, congratulate you on your nice work, and express my gratitude to have a new Kiwi Wikipedian who is a professional at writing. That's a good combo! If you have any questions, please ask. Here's good; I've watchlisted your user page. Happy to help if I can.  Schwede 66  08:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your kind words! I’m trying to do my best although it is rather confusing at times. Only one of the other Wikipedia pages I have made has more msm references than Hilton so I must say I am baffled as to why it might be taken down. But I bow to the superior knowledge of the experienced editors - and there are lots of other artists pages to work on.

 * Hi - I have just read the discussion. I would like to add that I have not added his complete exhibition record - so the page is not finished in that regard - I added the exhibitions which had unusual msm interest. The discussion doesn’t seem to include the Metro profile by Frances Morton which is not online. This was an excellent piece discussing what is radical about Hilton’s work in a respected title known for its quality coverage of NZ cultural events. There was a full page image of Hilton in this story. When this is added to the North & South coverage - one story co-written by deputy editor Joanna Wane (and myself) - I thought it more than enough to show his work is quite new. Just thought I would point this out. I have a PDF of the Metro story so if anyone would like to see it let me know. (I used to work at metro so I have access to material like indexes and a few layouts. ) Tahatai (talk) 09:59, 1 December 2020 (UTC) Tahatai (talk) 09:59, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * As the author of that article, you could (and maybe should) add your voice to the deletion discussion. I think the likelihood of the article getting deleted is slim. And yes, I'd like to cast my eye over the PDF; I'll send you an email.  Schwede 66  17:58, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

I, thanks for the interest. I have emailed you the PDFs. Tahatai (talk) 20:24, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello! I am leaving the standard information below as I saw your comments on the Craig Hilton AfD and wanted to make sure you are aware of our COI policies. Thanks. Possibly (talk) 05:40, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The same is true of Sculpture on the Gulf, which you created. If, as your user page says, you are on its board, you need to disclose that COI very clearly and also determine if it is paid editing, which is not neccesarily about money. See links below.Possibly (talk) 06:12, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I am an unpaid and very recent board member, as it says on my bio. Thanks for pointing this out though: I did actually check this first with a senior Wikipedia editor. Tahatai (talk) 06:19, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. COI can apply to advocacy, which is what the Gulf article seems to be. You are on its board, you made an article for them. It's not the same as someone with no connection, which is why a simple COI disclosure per the COI policy below is required. Thanks. Possibly (talk) 06:24, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok I will, thanks. I made this because I felt a simple list of all the artists who have ever exhibited in these biennial sculpture shows would be a good thing for NZ art Wikipedia. I have left out all sponsors, lists of board members etc and anything else which could be construed as marketing.

COI information
Hello, Tahatai. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Craig Hilton, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Possibly (talk) 05:39, 2 December 2020 (UTC) Thank you for this. I no longer work at either North & South or Metro which I have linked to. My bio on my user page is up to date. I have no family or business link to the subject under discussion except that I have interviewed him several times: we do both live on the same island. Tahatai (talk) 05:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
