Paleochorasite

This stub article is not copied from a "Paleochorasite" website I have not heard of and cannot even access. The (standard) reference book is given Hugo999 (talk) 12:23, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Paleochorasite instantly mirrors Wikipedia, so this is a confirmed false positive. VernoWhitney (talk) 13:17, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Election petition

For future article expansion: Pilliet attended the opening of Parliament in May 1882, and he gets a special mention in the newspapers. Schwede66 19:06, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Recent article expansion

Thanks for the article expansion by User:Karamiahongjoo. I'll go through this and add wikilinks. What you'd need to do is to state your sources. In the edit summary, you say you are a biographer and citing sources is thus something that you would be familiar with. What you won't know (yet - as a new editor) is how citing sources works on Wikipedia. You could either read up on it by following the previous link, or you could simply add the source into the right location in the text, and I'll apply the appropriate citation templates. Note that sources can (and should) be repeatedly listed in the text. I'll also start adding to the article - I've got a bit of material that can be worked in. And I'll add the fancy things like an infobox, parlbox and succession box. Schwede66 19:28, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

"shipwrecked at Kaihoura" - is that a spelling mistake and should this read Kaikoura instead? Schwede66 09:28, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

DYK

I've nominated the article for DYK. It's a 23x expansion (5x is the minimum requirement). Schwede66 09:21, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

The article has been reviewed and the comment is that every paragraph needs to have an inline citation. So let's work on that :) Schwede66 08:26, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

I've added quite a few inline citations, but there are still some unreferenced paragraphs. But either way, the article is now in the queue for the homepage, and will appear there on Wed, 8 Sep, from 6 am to 12 noon. Schwede66 18:43, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Not an immigrant to New Zealand

Immigration to New Zealand refers to coming to the country of New Zealand formed in 1907. Immigration before that was to the Colony of New Zealand, a distinct place that needs to be covered by distinct categories.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:10, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

No, that cat refers to both pre- and post-1907, has done so for years and years, until you changed this last week. This is not a "distinct place". Fram (talk) 16:25, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

I suggest that Johnpacklambert's work is an improvement in categorisation. Schwede66 19:17, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

You consider it more helpful and readerfriendly to describe him as a "French emigrants to the British Empire" than as a "French emigrant to New Zealand"?[1] Why? Fram (talk) 07:49, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, I thought we were discussing Category:Immigrants to the Colony of New Zealand. Schwede66 08:20, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for clarifying. Fram (talk) 08:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
