List of historic places in Gore District

 * Nominator(s): Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 18:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Another one on my goal to (a long, long time down the line) get a list of the Heritage New Zealand historic places for each of the 67 territorial authorities of New Zealand. Poor Gore is one of the smallest districts by population, and it shows; there are only 6 entries in the district, while neighboring Clutha and Southland have 65 and 44 respectively. Nevertheless, this wouldn't make sense as part of anything else, so out of the interests of completeness, I bring it here! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 18:16, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Driveby cmt and image review by Queen of Hearts
Is there any particular reason for a SFN to the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act? It isn't citing multiple sections and all the other cites are long. Thanks, Queen of Hearts  ( talk ) 18:35, 23 May 2024 (UTC) And I'll come back to try my best at an img review: Queen of Hearts &thinsp;talk 18:07, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I did it that way on my other, but you're right that it's not strictly necessary. I'll change it to a long cite. - G
 * All images should probably have
 * File:Cremoata (30746745724).jpg - From a fine-looking Flickr account, passed FlickreviewR, and NZ has freedom of panorama for 3D works; FoP-New Zealand and it'll be good
 * File:MA I836111 TePapa Presbyterian-Church-Gore.jpg - wouldn't be better? also add
 * File:Fleming's Creamoata Mill complex Gore New Zealand.jpg - claimed own work by a well-established WPedian; FoP-New Zealand and it'll be good
 * Alts look fine
 * Initial comment: The other articles in Category:Lists of historic places in New Zealand include a column for images. I'd recommend the same here. Reywas92Talk 18:48, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Hey man im josh
Source review: Passed
 * Reliable enough for the information being cited
 * Consistent date formatting
 * Consistent and proper reference formatting
 * Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
 * Sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:
 * Ref 1 – Add
 * Change the column header from "Citation" to
 * Gore Presbyterian Church row – Partway through the paragraph the text starts on a new line. Not noticable until I try to sort the columns, but it is an issue.
 * Move the first image in the list below the use dmy dates template
 * I recognize the source may capitalize "(Former)", but it's not a proper name and should be downcased to "former".
 * You should run IABot to add some archive links
 * Ref 5 – Should the title be "Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014" instead of "Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act"? The source looks like it includes "2014" in the title.

Overall, I found no issues with the reliability or formatting of references. Please ping me when you reply. Hey man im josh (talk) 18:54, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Note that I tweaked by feedback for ref 1 and an additional piece of feedback that was based on the bibliography that you converted to a reference. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:34, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, I think i fixed everything! IABot hasn't ran yet, but I told it to. Generalissima (talk) (it/she)  14:31, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 14:05, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Disclosure: while I had already been aware of this nomination, I found out through a short interaction on Discord that this still needed another review. Images and sources have already been covered, so I'm gonna do a prose review. Some comments: Dylan 620 (he/him • talk • edits) 17:43, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * First settled by the Māori, European occupation began in the early 1850s, – I'm unsure of the way this part of the sentence is grammatically structured. It seems to imply that European occupation was itself first settled by the Māori, which doesn't make sense.
 * Rephrased to make it a bit clearer. -G
 * Additions, including a session house, were added by William Sharp in 1892. – Additions were added? I feel like this could be tweaked a bit.
 * Rephrased. - G
 * the church saw large scale repairs – Feel free to demur if this is a valid stylistic choice, but my instinct is that this should be hyphenated as "large-scale".
 * Yeah, good idea. Fixed. - G
 * Restoration work was taken on the church – I don't know if this is a valid grammatical application of the phrase "taken on". Maybe rephrasing to "the church was restored/renovated" would work?
 * Good idea, fixed. - G
 * Does railway windmill need to be redlinked? The phrase "railway windmill" should obviously stay, but I think shortening the wikilink to windmill would suffice.
 * Good idea. - G
 * Clematis Cottage description – This is a total nitpick, but linking the two sentences with a semicolon would flow better IMO.
 * Good idea. -G
 * Bank of New Zealand (former) description – It may be worth mentioning/clarifying that the building was constructed around 20 years after the Mataura BNZ became the third BNZ outlet in Southland.
 * Good idea! - G
 * There are a couple incomplete sentences in the bottom half of the 'notes' column that I feel could be tweaked for flow. Suggested revisions:
 * A new station was built the following year, designed by George Alexander Troup. Still in use as a freight station. → A new station, designed by George Alexander Troup, was built the following year and is still in use as a freight station.
 * Saw rapid expansion → The mill saw rapid expansion
 * Thank you so much! I think I fixed all of these. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 20:03, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
 * We're close to the point where I would support. The only thing that I still recommend changing would be to reduce the number of incomplete sentences in the Bank of New Zealand (former) description. I'm going to reproduce the text here, with my suggested changes bolded: The building was constructed twenty years after the Bank of New Zealand's initial expansion in Mataura as its third outlet in Southland, and operated until the decline of business in the town in the 1970s. I almost made these changes myself, but got cold feet because I didn't want to feel like I was overstepping as a reviewer. Dylan 620  (he/him • talk • edits) 17:01, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
