Electorate map

It was a great learning experience for me. I've not really used Inkscape before. I had your old map open while I worked for inspiration. I got .kml data from here and converted it to .svg at indiemapper.com (a great tool).

The map still has problems when converting to .png, but displays alright in .svg. The insets still need to be grouped too, but for now it is usable. I'm still working on it and hopefully should have the issues resolved by election day. --Korakys (talk) 09:43, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any plans to do the individual maps at this stage. Go right ahead! --Korakys (talk) 23:40, 8 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any maps of Chathams, but I had a look and found these: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chatham_Islands_map_topo-et.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Map_of_New_Zealand_%28english%29.svg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Chatham_Islands_in_New_Zealand_%28zoom%29.svg http://www.amcharts.com/svg-maps/?map=newZealand. Hopefully they are layered properly and you might be able to extract the outlines only. --Korakys (talk) 00:16, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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

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. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
