Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mike McRoberts, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Canterbury earthquake.

Reference in Michael Wood article

Hi. You added the reference "PM asking questions over Transport Minister's airport shares blunder. NZ Herald. 8 August 2023. Retrieved 7 August 2023" to Michael Wood (New Zealand politician). The link is to an article 2 months older and with a different title. I assume you intended something different. Nurg (talk) 05:21, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks Nurg, I was moving existing references around while using the visual editor. I suspect that is one (from August) I rehomed in that process without spotting the publisher had updated the page since the original editor added it to Wikipedia. I appreciate you spotting it and I will tidy up that citation. —idiosyncritic 01:19, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks. I get a different date for the source (maybe you are in a different time zone from me), but I have changed it in the citation. Nurg (talk) 03:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

@Nurg, yes, I am in Canada at the moment. —idiosyncritic 13:25, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Golden Bay Air are holding some seats for us until 21 November

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)

@Schwede66; thanks for the invitation, but I won't be in the country during the meetup dates. —idiosyncritic 14:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Enjoy your time away! Schwede66 16:55, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
