Horahora Power Station

Hi, thanks for your research on the Horahora Power Station. Can you just confirm where you got the information about the salvage for scrap in 1971 please, it doesn't appear to be in the book you've cited.

Thanks and happy editing!

1971 salvage for scrap - Generators lost to any restoration plans.

Thanks for observation; I am new to editing Wikipedia. A spiral bound 52 page history named "Horahora" (1997, no ISBN number) is available from Waihi Museum NZ$22+postage. Five pages with photos, names, details, describe salvage works. I have information on the shut-down party that has been forwarded to the authors, assuming they are alive, via Waihi Museum for incorporation into the booklet if they wish. The flooding wiki paragraph needs updating to comply with the eye-witness account in this booklet as per my submitted alteration that you may be able to tweek a little more. Can you help by inserting the booklet reference into the article for me? I have yet to come to grips with the 'blue' functions. Tiki2miki (talk) 21:35, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sorry for delay in getting back to you. The following line should come close to producing the appropriate reference, can I leave you to paste it into the body of the article where you would like the reference to appear - I think the author or publisher details really need to be completed first. If you are after information about this citation template, see Cite book.

<ref>{{cite book |title=Horahora |last= |first= |coauthors= |year=1997 |publisher= |location= |isbn= }}</ref>

As you are probably well aware, Wikipedia requires content to be verifiable which unfortunately could mean some of the information you have can't be included (yet), although the contents of the museum's publication should be fine. It might be worth a look at the explaination about primary sources. Cheers SmokeySteve (talk) 02:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
