You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

1984 Southland floods

Hi Panamitsu, I have made good progress with the Draft:1984 Southland floods article. Have archived the references and incorporated the NIWA source into the article. The article now has an introduction section. I also split the impact section into an aftermath section. Is it ready to move into mainspace? We could also link it to other articles like the Southland Region and 1984 in New Zealand. Andykatib (talk) 00:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent work. I've managed to find a free-to-use image and have added it to the article. I've also moved it to mainspace and added incoming links. I haven't written about it on the Southland Region article though. ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:48, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think we could put it on Did you know? I'm struggling to find something interesting about this article.

I know I said before we started that something that there was interesting about it, but it turned out I was confusing it was another event. For some reason I thought it involved a dam overflowing or almost overflowing, but it looks like that might've been the Otago floods of 1863 or the 2004 Bay of Plenty floods. ―Panamitsu (talk) 04:58, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Panamitsu, good job on finding a free image and moving it to the mainspace. I don't think it is notable enough to go into the Did You Know page but it could go into the Southland Region and List of natural disasters in New Zealand pages. Cheers. Andykatib (talk) 06:49, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DYK has no notability requirement. What it requires is an interesting hook. If you can think of one, I encourage you to nominate the article. Schwede 66 15:27, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've made a nomination now. ―Panamitsu (talk) 06:06, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know something interesting about it (in the DYK sense) but unfortunately I don't think it's documented anywhere (and "the civil defence guys thought it was a real crack up" doesn't constitute a reliable source). Apparently one of the guys "rescued" from a roof didn't actually need rescued - because of the fine weather the day after he was up on a roof painting it and was rather indignant about being "rescued". Otherwise one of the more iconic images (which, sadly, is almost certainly unavailable with a compatible licence) is of an unusual "igloo" shaped house (corner of Gimblett and Queens Drive if you're familiar with Invercargill) with only its domes visible. Daveosaurus (talk) 10:41, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is the house still there? I'm unable to find it on Google Maps. Your comment intrigues me. ―Panamitsu (talk) 05:48, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, it survived the floods but was replaced by a "normal" house some time after 2010. If you are using Google Street View, click on "See more dates" (in the top left window), select the January 2010 street view image and it's largely still visible amongst the mature trees that were also on site then. Daveosaurus (talk) 07:51, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Haha that's a funny looking house. Reminds me of the Dutch Bolwoningen. ―Panamitsu (talk) 08:03, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It also had a vague Futuro House look to it. I think it was concrete? It would have been quite new in 1984 - it's visible on this Retrolens image https://files.interpret.co.nz/Retrolens/Imagery/SN8408/Crown_8408_F_13/High.jpg (from nine months or so after the flood) but half of the subdivision it's in isn't built up yet. Daveosaurus (talk) 10:02, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, below and the trees on the top right of the image. Neat map. I wonder what the indicators on the left display. ―Panamitsu (talk) 10:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not certain, but my guesses, working from left to right (bottom to top) would be: some sort of gyroscope to measure camera orientation; some sort of focusing tool; a clock reading almost 3:17 p.m.; a card stating which series of photographs this was. Retrolens is an interesting resource of raw aerial photography dating right back to the 1940s. Daveosaurus (talk) 17:25, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled granted

Hi Panamitsu, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede 66 08:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
