Just letting you know that User:Ganesha811 has begun the review on the Foveaux Strait article. They noticed a couple of editors have been collaborating closely on the article. Feel free to respond to comments they provide. Thanks. Alexeyevitch(talk) 13:50, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, now that school holidays are over(!) I'm wondering if I should set up a project page, even if it's just a dairy of what I'm up to. Would that be appropriate? If so, where would be a good place - a sub page of the NZ notice board, or of my user page? I suppose I could make a start and then move it later. I'm hoping to gather the clans and get some photos organised for the last couple of weeks of August. — Jon (talk) 21:58, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I've finished work on Draft:List of shipwrecks of Southland. As you started this draft, do you want to submit it for review, or do you think I should do so, or shall I simply move it to article space? I was thinking when I started work on it that I might create similar lists for other regions of New Zealand, but I've had my fill of the subject for now so I don't intend to pursue that idea in the immediate future.-Gadfium (talk) 03:42, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
@Prosperosity Hi, I have found what appear to be legal land boundaries for Bushy Park on the Horizons Regional Council GIS system. I have taken a screen shot and roughly marked up in red, my understanding of the outer perimeter of the Bushy Park property, including the homestead and its gardens. Here is a link to my screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1t1AxLZ2sQlS4kBFNyrF_gMYoc3nAM9HG/view?usp=drive_link I have previously looked into Open Street Map (and I have a user account). What steps would I have to go through to create a decent outline of the perimeter of Bushy Park in OSM, ie what approach is most practical for drawing/ tracing the boundaries ?_Marshelec (talk) 23:03, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Ready for your input. Do you want to coordinate the page move to Hikurangi Trough when you have finished ? ChaseKiwi (talk) 17:05, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
@Canley Hi, I thought you might be interested in a couple of articles I have created about carousels in Melbourne and Geelong, after a recent visit.
We thought the Geelong Carousel was absolutely great - a fantastic restoration job, and a wonderful symbol of the revitalisation of the Geelong Waterfront that was undertaken from around 1996 to 2000. We were big kids and took a ride. Have a look at the video.:) I hope to get feedback on this article and new sources from the Geelong city authorities who own and operate the carousel. However, it has been two weeks since I emailed them and no reply so far.
After researching the Geelong Carousel, I found that there is an even older fully-restored and heritage-listed carousel at Melbourne Zoo (must see this on my next visit). I have created and published a second article: Melbourne Zoo Carousel. There is also a particularly fancy restored carousel at Luna Park in Melbourne, so I may carry on with this theme and prepare yet another carousel article.:)
The artist Patricia Mullins was heavily involved in the restoration of these carousels - particularly the restoration of the carousel horses. The article about her could do with some improvement, so I may give this a go. I found an email address for her and sent a message inviting feedback about the two carousel articles, but again I have not had a response. If you are interested, have a look at the two articles - I would love to expand these with more details of the restoration work, but I have not yet found suitable sources. (Hence my queries to the City of Geelong, and to Patricia Mullins.)_Marshelec (talk) 04:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

@Prosperosity Kia ora. I have another enquiry about a map. This morning I have created a draft Wikipedia article Draft:Kaikōura Dark Sky Sanctuary (It has just been formally accredited). I have also created a Wikidata item: It would be great to add a map to the article, but I am still not sufficiently experienced in Open Street Map to do this without help.
Perhaps you can have a look at what might be needed, and if you think it should be possible for me to do this, please give me some pointers. This newspaper article shows a map of the sanctuary.. As far as I can see, it is the entire Kaikōura District, less a small irregular shape shown in the illustration in the newspaper. See also the application document here:. Apart from my general lack of experience in using OSM, I have a few questions:
