Kia Ora Chocmilk03, I noticed that you added archival references to the 2019 Whakaari/White Island eruption article using a bot. How do you do it? I think it will be helpful for me since I do a lot of archival referencing. Cheers. Andykatib (talk) 06:38, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kia ora @Andykatib, great question. I only learned about this excellent tool quite recently myself, from a post by @Marshelec at Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board/Archive 34#Internet Archive Bot is working again. That post has details of how to use. :) Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:18, 10 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Chocmilk03, thanks so much for replying. Will check out the Internet Archive Bot tool. Cheers. Andykatib (talk) 09:22, 11 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kia ora! I've got a chance to request release of images of writers who've spoken at National Library events from their imaging team. Is there anyone you're really keen to get a pic of who might be in their photo library? Old event listings stay on their site so you could have a search there or browse the events section :) Avocadobabygirl (talk) 04:33, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Kia ora @Avocadobabygirl, you are amazing! Thanks for getting in touch with them, and fingers crossed that they're able and willing to release images. Can I email you a list in the first instance? I'll create a userpage at some point too with a proper list... Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 07:43, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yup, go ahead and email me. Their photographer's really keen to share stuff! :D Avocadobabygirl (talk) 07:45, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Postcard from the West Coast Wednesday 20 Sep, 2023

Kia ora koutou; so good to be a Wikipedian at Large on the West Coast again. • I've been setting up visits and field photography trips to Karamea (Oct 15), Fox Glacier (Oct 2), and Whataroa (Oct 9), and working through the typewritten Whataroa South Westland: Centennial Report 1879–1979 • Great work from Panamitsu creating the Waitangiroto Nature Reserve article, and Paora with Gerhard Mueller and Kere Tutoko (Q122695369). Prosperosity created Wikidata items and Commons categories for most of Hokitika's public sculpture, and I added over 100 photos and more items • Hoping to tag along on a kōtuku tour, but I'm also approaching photographers who've taken good pics of the colony about releasing their work for Commons • We should improve the kōtuku and Waitangiroto River articles with journal articles—and the Whataroa River and Waitangitāhuna River articles could do with a tidy up (there's a great article in Tane about how the former split in two, and the implications for the Waitangiroto) • Coming up are the Glacier Country tourism articles: can I recommend Lynley Hargreaves' new book Vanishing Ice as a reference? • Gillespies Beach Beginnings is recently transcribed and available in Wikisource as well • Keep at it folks, and I'll drop you a line in a week and a bit. — Giantflightlessbirds

Hi, I see that you added a list to the List of kidnappings. I was wondering if you could help me add some entries to list as I am swamped with editing and would be very thankful for any help that I could get. Davidgoodheart (talk) 18:33, 10 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Davidgoodheart: hi there! Quite possibly; it's not my area of expertise but I'd be happy to help out. Do you have a list of pages that need adding, or what? Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 08:06, 12 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello again, and apologies, New Zealand just had a general election so that's really my focus at the moment, and I probably can't be on call for general editing requests. The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is a contentious topic also, so I'd feel nervous editing in that area without full background. All the best with your editing!

Postcard from the West Coast Wednesday 8 Nov, 2023

A bit of a gap since the last postcard, but what a great time we've had with the Wikipedian at Large project in the interim • The highlight has been having Marshall and Lyn join me on the West Coast for a few days, visiting Fox Glacier and Whataroa • We now have good photo collections for the newly-created Waitangiroto Nature Reserve, and a a much improved article with galler • The Whataroa article has been improved with local history and links to the White Herons • We also have much better coverage of Fox Glacier, including new Ngāi Tahu viewing place Te Kopikopiko o te Waka, and photos of Te Weheka Walkway/Cycleway and the South Side Walkway/Cycleway • Could I get you all to check back through your contributions and add anything extra you've done to the [Progress page as we wrap up • Also—I'm hosting a catch-up meeting on Sunday November 12, 2:30 pm, online at my Whereby chat room. This is a chance to go over anything you'd still like to see improved, talk about how the project went and possibilities for future ones, and announce winners of prizes for most or best contributions. Drop me a line at mikerove.wiki if you can make it (or can't but have ideas about the project) • Thank you all for your contributions, however small, and chat soon. — Giantflightlessbirds

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)Reply[reply]

The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mona Williams (Guyanese writer). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mona Williams (writer, born 1943)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

Hello Chocmilk03, we need experienced volunteers.

• New Page Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles. We could use a few extra hands on deck if you think you can help.
• Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; Wikipedia needs experienced users to perform this task and there are precious few with the appropriate skills. Even a couple reviews a day can make a huge difference.
• Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision (if it looks daunting, don't worry, it basically boils down to checking CSD, notability, and title). If this looks like something that you can do, please consider joining us.
• If you would like to join the project and help out, please see the granting conditions. You can apply for the user-right HERE.
• If you have questions, please feel free to drop a message at the reviewer's discussion board.
• Cheers, and hope to see you around.

Hi Chocmilk03. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

• Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
• You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
• If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
• Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
• Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
• Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 04:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Potiki you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Potiki you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Potiki and Talk:Potiki/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

I think you'd make a great Admin. Your demeanor around here, your content production, your willingness to take on additional roles are impressive. Being an admin doesn't mean you'd have to do less of any of the things you enjoy doing. You would simply be able to do other things from time to time if you wished to do so. I wonder if you've considered it? -- Rosiestep (talk) 20:29, 8 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Rosiestep, I'm very honoured that you'd raise this with me! Thank you for the kind words and for the vote of confidence. :) @Schwede66 has also raised this topic with me so it has been on my mind, and if I could help out the project in this way in the future I'd be happy to do so. My sense is that I'd probably need to do more work in areas behind-the-scenes where I could demonstrate admin-type work (and "need for the tools") before running; would welcome any advice/thoughts you have too.

Happy to hear that Schwede66 has also raised the topic. Hi Schwede! Yes, you would need to address a need for the tools. Perhaps take a look at this example. As a first step, you might consider applying for an additional user right, perhaps MassMessage (and occasionally send out the WiR invites; ping Lajmmoore). As you're associated with various wiki communities, you might check with them regarding what areas they see a need for more admin support. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:16, 9 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
