Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Golden Bay Air are holding some seats for us until 21 November

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. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have an expanded level of powers and discretion in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practices;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures, you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Template:User Tauranga (July 3)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reasons left by Chippla360 were: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 08:11, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Ellarii! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Chippla ✍️ - Best Regards 08:11, 3 July 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Alex Shaw (field hockey) (July 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Cloventt was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

Kia ora, I'm not convinced notability has been established by the sources in this article. We need to see evidence of significant coverage of the person from multiple reliable outlets, and there isn't enough used in the article currently to justify notability.

I had a quick search and found the following additional sources you might want to expand the article with:

• "Shaw to undergo surgery after being struck in the face", NZ Herald, 2016-03-10, retrieved 2025-07-12
• "Alex Shaw excited ahead of first World Cup", Hockey New Zealand, archived from the original on 2014-07-07, retrieved 2025-07-12
• Leggat, David (2014-01-24), "Hockey: Black Sticks draw World Cup heavyweights", NZ Herald, retrieved 2025-07-12

However, only the Hockey New Zealand article can be considered "in-depth coverage", and that alone is not enough as it is from a source that isn't entirely independent of the subject. If you can find additional coverage that is more in-depth please add it to the article.

Also, just to temper expectations, I'll add that many New Zealand sportspeople are considered fairly notable in their local sporting community, but that does not mean they are notable enough for their own Wikipedia article. This may be one of those cases.

If you're looking for something to contribute around hockey in New Zealand, the article for the Black Sticks would really benefit from a section covering the history of the team, and the New Zealand Hockey Federation could also do with some expansion. In fact, I think we are sorely lacking a Field hockey in New Zealand article which could be split out of the NZHF article.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Alex Shaw (field hockey) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
• If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
