This article is written in New Zealand English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, analyse, centre, fiord) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English.

The content in this article was moved from Christchurch

For any future travellers, the content of this article was taken from the article for the city of Christchurch. The history section was around 35% of the total article and consensus was reached that this was too much. We decided to split it out to a dedicated article, and this is that.

... that the New Zealand city of Christchurch was built on a swamp?

Source: Rice, Geoffrey (2008). Christchurch Changing: An Illustrated History (2nd ed.). Christchurch: Canterbury University Press. p. 14. ISBN 978-0-908812-53-0. This was to become Christchurch, and though the Pilgrims of 1850 grumbled about its swampiness, the site was an obvious compromise...

Withdrawn as the content isn't new enough. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 18:34, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn’t a good idea. It’s not new content and as such, it’s not eligible. You should withdraw the nomination by stating that on the nom page. Schwede 66 13:01, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done, thanks. I thought it might qualify as a new article. David Palmer//cloventt ^(talk) 19:41, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
