Suggestions
[edit]1. Limit the scope to Auckland Region. It shouldn't cover NZ because there is already a WikiProject New Zealand.
2. Changes references to Auckland from "the city of Auckland" to "the Auckland metropolitan area" to avoid confusion with Auckland City.
3. Remove "proverbial" from "the proverbial umbrella of the region of Auckland". I don't think the umbrella is proverbial.
4. Where is "the Portal"? Is it Portal:New Zealand? Or does "Portal" refer to the project page? If so, call it the project page to avoid confusion with regular portals.
5. The 3rd bullet point under Scope is incomplete. Nurg (talk) 04:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- Sweet, I don't see any problems with those changes, I can't do them right now because I have school, but feel free to make those alterations, well done for pointing those out btw. Taifarious1 19:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
- oh, and the portal I was referring to is the new zealand portal. Taifarious1 02:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Kiwipedians on Nightline
[edit]Hi there.
I really, really want to do a little story for TV3's nightline show about the people who keep our kiwi pages intact on Wikipedia.
I am no wiki expert... so I'm just gonna leave my email here - and would love to hear from you, especially if you're in Auckland, as that's where I'm based. But Wellington and ChCh are good also.
Thanks heaps, I'd really like to hear from you

Auckland Museum WMF grant application - Wikipedia & compulsory history curriculum
[edit]Kia ora koutou
At Auckland Museum we're looking at ways we can support local teachers, the GLAM sector and the wider Wikipedia movement engage with the upcoming local history curriculum. We are looking at a two pronged approach: enhancing Wikipedia with local history resources, and encouraging Wikipedia editing by secondary school students as a means of applied learning of historical method. We think this would be beneficial for the education sector, the GLAM sector and would potentially help to grow a new generation of editors.
To start this off we would like to commission some research to see what teachers themselves think about using Wikipedia, and we have put together a grant application here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_and_the_Aotearoa_New_Zealand_History_Curriculum
We would really appreciate community support as we think this has huge potential. Happy to answer any questions or comments here, or my email address is on the grant application page. Ngā mihi. Jetaynz (talk) 23:30, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Culture of Auckland
[edit]If anyone could help get Culture of Auckland to the same standard as Culture of Sydney or Culture of Melbourne, that would be super cool. --Aubernas (talk) 02:59, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
- Reading WP:NPOV, WP:PROMO, WP:EDITORIAL and WP:WEASEL WORDS would be a good start. DerbyCountyinNZ (Talk Contribs) 04:37, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

Vector Wero Whitewater Park
[edit]Olympic gold medals don't just happen... The NZ training venue for canoe slalom is the Vector Wero Whitewater Park in Wiri. Certainly a notable facility that deserves an article. I've made a Wikidata entry at Vector Wero Whitewater Park (Q128602358). Photos would be good to have; all I could find was an aerial from 2014 when earth works had just commenced.
