(The afghan is the unofficial biscuit of Wikimedia Aotearoa.) Kia ora Lisa; I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work organising the (rapidly pivoted) performing arts edit-a-thon on Saturday, and for introducing so many people the the world of Wikipedia. It's really paying off in terms of articles created and getting institutions to consider their Wikimedia strategy. Good on you.

I was surprised that The Ovarian Sisters article that you created did not show up on the first page of Google results but then discovered that you do not have Autopatrolled rights. As you have created more than 25 well-referenced articles, you are entitled to apply.--Oronsay (talk) 20:13, 12 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks @Oronsay: - I have done do. Pakoire (talk)

Hi Pakoire, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the "autopatrolled" permission to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the autopatrolled right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. However, you should consider adding relevant wikiproject talk-page templates, stub-tags and categories to new articles that you create if you aren't already in the habit of doing so, since your articles will no longer be systematically checked by other editors (User:Evad37/rater and User:SD0001/StubSorter.js are useful scripts which can help). Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 01:55, 13 February 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to Scott Morrison (disambiguation).

At this edit to Don Selwyn, you added a new paragraph that includes this ((cite book)) template:

((Cite book |last=1945- |first=Smythe, John, |url=http://worldcat.org/oclc/474403154 |title=Downstage upfront : the first 40 years of New Zealand's longest-running professional theatre |date=2004 |publisher=Victoria University Press |isbn=978-0-86473-489-1 |oclc=474403154))

((cite book)): |last= has numeric name (help)CS1 maint: extra punctuation (link) CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link)

Can you tell me how you created that citation? There are a couple of issues with it:

|last=1945- – 1945- is not an author surname so does not belong in |last=

|first=Smythe, John, – Smythe, John, is not the author's given name

I would be surprised if you created this citation manually so that suggests that you used a tool to create it so I filed a bug report because visual editor (which you apparently used to make the overall edit) should not have created this broken citation. How did you create the citation?

Thank you for the "Thanks" re: Sabine Marcelis article --> WiR. I didn't actually originate the article (thanks go to Electriclamb for that), although I did contribute quite a bit of what's now there. I also added her name to this conversation, which is what resulted in the article being moved to mainspace (by MrsSnoozyTurtle). There may be other subjects in the thread that interest you (and there's a very active community of good editors exchanging thoughts and advice too) — if it's not something that you already read.

Kia ora Pakoire. Thanks for creating Te Pouhere Kōrero - nice work. I linked it this morning to Aotearoa New Zealand's histories an article I created a while back and thinking we need to update the Activities section on Te Pouhere Kōrero to reflect this important response to the new curriculum. I will have a look at this and begin to archive some of the citations. Keep up the good mahi! Realitylink (talk) 21:45, 7 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks and great Realitylink. I just created an article for Haeata Māori Women arts collective. I also want to do one for Ngā Puna Waihanga, the Māori Artists and Writers Society that was founded in 1973. I am not sure which name to use as the article title? The Te Reo or the English or both? Do have any thoughts? Pakoire (talk) 20:08, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ah well we all know the current controversies off-Wikipedia in Aotearoa about bilingual signage etc....but hei aha! Personally I love te reo being clearly visible. Not sure what the Wikipedia policy is, but why not just put the whole title as Ngā Puna Waihanga, the Māori Artists and Writers Society? Or what I have also seen: title - Ngā Puna Waihanga then in the introductory section add: also known as The Māori Artists and Writers Society. A good point to raise. Also, are you familiar with the process of reflisting citations? It just means that the full reference lives below in a modified reference section and only the name is shown in the source editing window? Then obviously the name can just be used again if required. It makes editing much easier. I can go and do a couple for you? And note, that others can still add references as they usually would - the two systems happily co-exist. Just a thought I had while thinking about archiving which is becoming a passion for me these days! Ngā mihi Realitylink (talk) 21:15, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Realitylink thanks for your thoughts. Yes please show me a couple of examples! I don't edit in source though if this is why it is good? Pakoire (talk) 22:43, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ok, so probably not a big deal then if you don't use source editing...(I do all the time except when doing a final proofread). Anyway, I have reflisted the first citation, so have a look in source editing. Certainly not mandatory to do this. I work with a group of editors who do it. All good.Realitylink (talk) 23:59, 8 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yep, so I see the problem if you only edit in visual, when you click on a reference after it has been reflisted, it shows Generated from: R So no use really I guess. Well, you learn something every day here!Realitylink (talk) 00:20, 9 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

Hi Pakoire,

I've just added a small section on Te Ao Māori to the Māori culture article, but - being a typical clueless pākehā - I've probably got the details of the exact meaning slightly wrong. I see you've done quite a bit of work on the article so could you please look over what I've done and amend if needed? Ngā mihi! (PS - I'm also posting a similar comment to User:Paewiki, who's a go-to person for me on Māori WP matters)

Grutness...wha? 07:28, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. There is a lot of thinking around the use of the two terms Māoritanga and Te Ao Māori and they are both used a lot in various contexts so having them in the article is valid. Are there references you got the statements from?

If you can please add some references to your article additions, ideally citing Māori scholars and leaders for any information about Māori culture. Pakoire (talk) 22:44, 7 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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.

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

I'm not seeing the independent, secondary coverage that would justify a notability claim here. There are no obvious verifiability problems and the article is well-written - no need for further prose edits. But we've got to have at least one fully independent source on her.

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:Dulcie Stocker 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.
