Population

Gadfium, when you do your magic with population statistics, is that based on area units or meshblocks? If the latter, could you at some point run your sript for 2346707? Schwede66 01:30, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

My script only works with SA1 or SA2 blocks. The appropriate SA1 block is 7022539, which covers 4.2 square km, about 4 times larger than the meshblock and including an area to the south. I'm not sure if there is any detailed information online for meshblock demographics. I've added the SA1 demographics, but feel free to revert if you don't think they are sufficiently relevant. Statistics NZ considers Tarakohe to be part of Pōhara, and this SA1 block is included in the demographics for that article.-gadfium 02:05, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Gadfium, that's awesome, thank you. I haven't been able to find anywhere how to geographically define Tarakohe. I see that SA1 block 7022539 includes Pohara Valley Road. Not sure whether those people consider themselves to live in Pōhara or Tarakohe, Google lists businesses that are on that street, or in the street off PV Road, as Pōhara. But if the locality has any inhabitants, it would be the people who live here. And there's certainly a close link to the cement works. From the top of Falconer Road, you look into the old quarry. Hence, what we've got will do. Thanks heaps. Schwede66 02:21, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Gadfium, I've nominated this at DYK and listed you as a contributor. Schwede66 09:00, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Schwede66, thanks for the credit. I've added an infobox.-gadfium 17:31, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

Abel Tasman Monument

• ... that Ernst Plischke had over 20 designs rejected for the Abel Tasman Monument in New Zealand's Tarakohe before he designed a tall, tapering column referencing the Greek funerary stele?

Created by Schwede66 (talk; both articles), Paora (talk; Abel Tasman Monument), and Gadfium (talk; Tarakohe). Nominated by Schwede66 (talk) at 08:23, 20 December 2021 (UTC).

• Hi Schwede66, reviews follow:

• Abel Tasman Monument: article created 17 December; exceeds minimum length; well written; I found no issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck on some of the online sources; cited inline throughout to what look t be reliable sources;
• Tarakohe: article started 19 December; exceeds minimum length; well written; I didn't pick up on any overely close paraphrsing. However some paragraphs in your "Demographics" section are missing citations
• Hook: mentioned in article, cited inline, AGF on offline sourcing. Image is used in the article, is freely licensed and quite striking.

If you can fix the citations in Tarakohe then I think this will be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 07:16, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

The Demographics section is entirely sourced, apart from the areas, to three spreadsheets linked to in the reference at [1] The key to each of these spreadsheets, as given in the article, is 7022539. Most of the demographics in New Zealand geographical articles have links to user-friendly graphs and charts (see for example Pōhara#Pōhara-Abel Tasman statistical area), but these are the larger SA2 statistical areas, and there are no such user-friendly pages for the smaller SA1 areas such as the one covering this area. The areas are sourced to a mapping program [2] which is part of or supported by Statistics New Zealand, and to see the detail you need to select "statistical area", then expand that, select "statistical area 1 - 2018" and for convenience deselect "statistical area 2 - 2022". For the meshblock, you'll need to select and expand "Meshblock" and then "Meshblock - 2018". The meshblock key is 2346707. In each case, you need to zoom in to the appropriate area, and then click on the appropriate key to get the area. My experience is that searching for the key is not supported.-gadfium 08:12, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi gadfium, it's fine that it's not user-friendly as long as it is clear which information is sourced from where. At the moment the reader has no way of finding out where some of the data (eg. male-female ratio, median age, ethnicity etc.) comes from. From the sounds of it you'll just need to add the citation to statsnz.maps.arcgis.com at the end of the relevant paragraphs - Dumelow (talk) 08:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

ArcGIS is already added immediately following the area details. All the rest is from the spreadsheets, which are referenced at the end of the section. Would you like the reference (reference 2) copied to the end of each paragraph?-gadfium 08:52, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi gadfium, yes please. It's a DYK requirement for a citation at the end of each paragraph - Dumelow (talk) 09:46, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Sure Dumelow, I have expanded the references to indicate which spreadsheet each item of information comes from. The overall link is to a download of a zipped file of six .csv files (there are XLS formats available but they are in 62 files in 6 folders, and I don't use them), and we use four of them (I was wrong when I said three above).-gadfium 18:56, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

That's great, gadfium. Good to go - Dumelow (talk) 19:53, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Dumelow, thanks for your review. Much appreciated. Thanks, Gadfium, for your contributions. Schwede66 20:41, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
