Exter in der englischen WP

Hallo Schwede 66. Danke fürs Einstellen des Exter-Artikels in der englischen WP. Eine Kleinigkeit müsste noch ergänzt werden: Unsere Kirche ist die erste evanglisch-lutherische Autobahnkirche, nach der ersten katholischen Autobahnkapelle allerdings die zweite in der Reihe. Ich bin des englischen nicht so mächtig, dass ich das zweifelsfrei formulieren könnte, bist du so lieb? Danke schön. Viele Grüße --Gwexter (talk) 18:07, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, hatte das Wort 'evangelisch' im Deutschen Text uebersehen. Danke.Schwede66 (talk) 21:46, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Alles bestens ... --Gwexter (talk) 15:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Avon Rivers in New Zealand

Hi Schwede66, just a note to say that i've moved the pages on the two Avon Rivers in New Zealand to comply with New Zealand page naming conventions - when NZ rivers need to be disambiguated, the pages always take the form "Foo River, Region", never "Foo River (Region)". Grutness...wha? 22:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry. After I had done everything, I came across some discussion on naming conventions and thought 'oops'. Thanks for fixing it. And thanks for the redirects. Schwede66 (talk) 23:18, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Any time. BTW, I've redirected Avon River, New Zealand to the Canterbury one and used a hatnote to link to the Marlborough one. The river that runs through Christchurch is definitely the primary topic of the two. Grutness...wha? 00:33, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I can see what you've done to the various pages and redirects. Good to know that that's how it's done. Still only dabbling with WP really. Schwede66 (talk) 01:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Cycle Friendly Awards

These Cycle Friendly Awards; are they handed out by SPARC or CAN? Abductive (reasoning) 07:56, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Have shifted the page to my user page - it wasn't anywhere ready for publication. I created it in the wrong spot. Schwede66/Cycle Friendly Awards is where it's now. I'll clarify this.

I've created worse. The awards definitely have lots of stories in newspapers, so don't let anybody tell you they aren't notable. Abductive (reasoning) 21:11, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

The Cycle Friendly Awards page has now been published. Schwede66 (talk) 21:37, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Christchurch meetup

Hello to all Christchurch based Wikipedians. It must be high time that we all got out from behind our computers and had a meetup. Somewhere with free wireless access would be ideal so we can get our caffine/sugar/alcohol/nutrient fix along with our Wikipedia fix!! Reply at Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board#Christchurch meetup. Please let any other Chrischurch Wikipedians who not listed at Category:Wikipedians in Christchurch know of this event. Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 08:43, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Kopu Bridge

Hi there. Have a look at Kopu Bridge and if you feel like it, maybe you can suggest it at WP:Did you know for me. I know you are allowed to do your own submissions, but still... Cheers, Ingolfson (talk) 07:08, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for asking - it's been my pleasure. Done! The fact that I nominated wasn't actually stated in the given references, so I will add a source that I could find on the Transit website. Also, there should be a space between digits and SI units. Schwede66 18:18, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Have you seen the DYK feedback? Schwede66 16:48, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating it - sadly, I don't think I can drag out enough material to make those remaining 1.2 multipliers (or make myself drag enough stuff up). Might feel a bit forced and padded in the article too. Ah well, it's okay. Thanks in any case! Ingolfson (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

I didn't check the word count myself, but it looked sufficient to me. So the feedback came as a bit of a surprise. A good article anyway! Schwede66 09:01, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

NZ naming convention - Breaksea Island

No worries, Schwede66. Thanks for letting me know. Cheers. Maias (talk) 00:33, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Mangarewa bridge

Saw the image you uploaded on Commons. Are they really planning such a massive bridge just for the cycle trail? Only way this could be anywhere in the budget would be a swing bridge, and even then it would be COSTLY! (probably have to be enclosed, too - what with the depth...). Cheers Ingolfson (talk) 06:59, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

WP:PERM

Hiya. You need to fix your request as you have the standard template in producing lipsum. Ta! Pedro :  Chat  21:41, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

As it goes, I've added te rollback flag anyway as you can clearly use the bit, but you still may want to fix the request! Pedro :  Chat  21:46, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Have added the reason. I'm not sure what happened there. I've copied the line as per the instructions and then filled out the text. I assumed the lipsum displayed because the page is currently semi-protected. Schwede66 21:51, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

No probs. I think you left the {{lorem}} template in, but - hey - who cares! Happy to add the flag for you and thanks for your cracking contributions! Pedro :  Chat  22:05, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

David and Alison Wright

Hi Schwede66 I was responsible for the articles on Alison Wright and David Wright - a husband and wife team I thought deserved mention on wikipedia for their sporting achievements. I thought Alison Wrights material was sufficently referanced. But if not could you assist with what additional information you require. As far as David Wright is concerned I have spoken to him and he knows of no incorrect information and certainly nothing defamitory in the item on him. I would be grateful for any further clarification on what needs to be done to clean up that post.

Thanks for getting back to me, MoragCopland. I'll reply on your talk page. I can show you the ropes - no problems. Schwede66 18:03, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Tourism_New_Zealand

We talked about that recently. Technically, they are actually twice-removed from the Ministry of Tourism. Worth approaching over the cycleway at some stage though, I think. Ingolfson (talk) 10:15, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Provinces of New Zealand

Guten tag! Yes, you're right that the map is inaccurate. Perhaps an animated GIF of the provinces by establishment/disestablishment date? I can do SVGs for each period, but that wouldn't help in terms of understanding how the provinces came into being. --Lholden (talk) 01:13, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Something like this [1]? --Lholden (talk) 01:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't that be nice? Let me know if you want me to do anything (e.g. draft the words that go with the graphics). Schwede66 02:33, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

If I get a chance I'll do something over the weekend. --Lholden (talk) 04:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Nice one! I've never played with gifs, so don't know what controls speed. In some of the slides, there's a lot to take in. Is it possible to slow the show down a bit? Maybe half the current speed? But only if it's not too onerous. Schwede66 08:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure, will do. --Lholden (talk) 09:43, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Looking even better now. Well done!

I see that you once posted something about elections in the Provinces. I've got it on my agenda to look into Provinces in more detail. We should have a lot more detail on this. I'll put some thoughts together on WP:NZG at some point. Schwede66 09:55, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Re:Bishop Julius Hall

Whoops, I just looked at the name, and thought that Hall was a surname. Thanks for that! :) Adabow (talk) 09:10, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

re:DYK

No problem, I only added infobox, parlbox and succession boxes - more visually enhancing rather than informatively so. Anyway, why is Francis James Garrick not bolded in the DYK, but the other three are? Adabow (talk) 09:58, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

That article is a few weeks old already. When I wrote it, I had no idea about his brothers in law. It was only when I worked my way through Peacock's history that I realised that. Anyway, Francis James Garrick was a double-DYK, too, as his brother James Francis Garrick was an MP as well, just in another country. That ended up being an interesting hook.
