User talk:TeWaitere

Welcomes[edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

To sign your posts (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type ~~~ (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~~~~ (4 tildes).
Try the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the test area.
If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk
Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
Remember Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

Kia ora, e "TeWaitere". Why has only one other person welcomed you?? It's not as if you have a "Spanish-sounding name", for example! (Yes, I noticed O'Higgins on the stamps of that country and wondered as you did.) Maybe WP does not yet have enough churchgoers (or Londoners or people named "David Laing") to appreciate your contributions?
Next question - what is the origin of your pseudonym?
Next question - have you had a look at Wikipedia Maori? (If not, why not? - surely my one-man publicity campaign has reached all WP Kiwis????)
Welcome aboard, anyway! Robin Patterson 05:45, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand[edit]

Hi, You might want to consider adding {{User NZ res}} to the top of your user page, which will add you to this category automatically and also add a nice graphic. Or simply add [[Category:Wikipedians in New Zealand]] which will have the same effect. If you want to help find fellow kiwis Click on this link [1] which will find all users who have "zealand" on their user page. I have done a few, but there are many more to do. Obviously don't just add it to everybody, read their user page to see if they actually live in NZ. Onco_p53 01:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to join WikiProject Ships[edit]

Hello TeWaitere! I noticed your contributions to Bark Marques, and thought you might be interested in WikiProject Ships, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of ships of all kinds.

If you would like to participate, please visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks! Maralia 13:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay[edit]

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]
