Brown River (Tasman)

Per WP:NATFEAT, don't we need more than "statistics and coordinates" to establish notability of a river? voorts (talk/contributions) 03:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Gimme a sec. Schwede66 03:04, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

No rush. voorts (talk/contributions) 03:06, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Good enough, Voorts? Schwede66 03:55, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Ah, something else to add (source of the name "Brown"). Schwede66 03:59, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

Haha, that's a cute message, Dclemens1971. All I did some 8 years ago was to set up a redirect. You might want to thank Wainuiomartian for actually writing the page. Schwede66 03:50, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Auto-response generated through New Pages Patrol but yes, thanks to @Wainuiomartian! Dclemens1971 (talk) 13:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

NZ Census articles

Hi, I hope this is the right place to contact you. I am working my way through New Zealand census pages, adding content and infoboxes. The infoboxes are not consistent - some say Country: New Zealand and some say Colony of New Zealand. Since the heading of the infobox says "Fifth census of the Colony of New Zealand" (or whichever it is), is it okay to just use 'New Zealand' for the country? Anything else I should attend to? Thanks. Wainuiomartian (talk) 20:58, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for tidying up that series and writing missing editions, Wainuiomartian. I’ve had to think about that and look around now. I’ve concluded that "New Zealand" should be used in the infoboxes. In the end, I’ve cast my eye over 'what links here' for the Colony of New Zealand article and if it was generally referred to from equivalent articles (e. g. YYYY in New Zealand), I would have seen it there, but that wasn’t the case. With regards to content, if you get guidance from the more developed articles, you should be good.

Unrelated to the above, let me take the opportunity to thank you for your very good work on a certain biography. It’s much appreciated. Schwede66 21:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

You're welcome! Wainuiomartian (talk) 02:47, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Auto patrolled request

Hey, hope you're doing fine. I've done everything you have suggested me do here, and followed the edit summary instructions you've given such as default sorting my previous articles, fixing PP and P in citations, using SFN template and using Book or Journal templates in Bibliography, etc. I've also created half a dozen new articles as per your suggestion, and I believe they are unproblematic. Regards. X (talk) 04:55, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. Please copy the request to WP:PERM/A, Xoak. Schwede66 05:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Done. That Mussel Inn video was wholesome. Checked your activities and read some news articles on you. You've been really great and creative. Thanks for all your work and time on this project. X (talk) 05:20, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

My pleasure! Appreciate the nice feedback. Schwede66 05:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Main page photo

Good evening! Could you add the current main page in the news photo to the category commons:Category:May 2024 solar storms in Australia? --Prosperosity (talk) 07:34, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Oh, and commons:Category:May 2024 in Melbourne. --Prosperosity (talk) 07:40, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

No, sorry. I can't. I'm not an admin on Commons, Prosperosity. Like you, I'll have to wait until the protection comes off, and then everyone can do that. Schwede66 08:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
