Hi XLerate, I wonder whether we should set up a string of cemetery stubs to match the good categorisation work that you have done. What do you think? Schwede66 20:37, 23 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Schwede66, I think that's a good idea. Burials at Symonds Street Cemetery is at Cfd, I'll start with that one. XLerate (talk) 00:27, 24 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you are on a roll. Just so that we don't double up, I have Linwood Cemetery in my user space. Feel free to add to it. Schwede66 06:28, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up, if I do any work on Linwood I'll add it there. XLerate (talk) 10:03, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.Most of the information provided is virtually word for word from the Waikato Times of about 3 months ago.Further ,the NZ MOE says the 1 manager , who was doing that job at several schools, is no longer employed by the MOE in that capacity. Most likely these sudden departures are the result of the special ERO report requested by the community to investigate allegations of poor leadership ,mismanagement ,issues around health and safety of students and other matters after a series of 20-30 out of court settlements bought against the management.This info is not entered as there was no specific public reference to these matters.Usually ERO reportrs are published but I am unsure about special ERO reports. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.86.93.70 (talk) 20:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Virtually word for word" is rather problematic and any such contribution will have to be removed immediately. Please review WP:COPYVIO. Schwede66 21:36, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On 5 October 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Symonds Street Cemetery, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a quarter of Symonds Street Cemetery, one of New Zealand's oldest cemeteries, was destroyed by the construction of the Auckland Southern Motorway? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Symonds Street Cemetery.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I think the intro sentence you reverted to on the John Key article provides inadequate chronological context (none really). It should at least tell us when he took office—it's not enough to just say "current" and give us some rather meaningless number in a sequence of office-holders. Everyking (talk) 02:21, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is a concise chronology in the next sentences. I think if the intro was expanded to several paragraphs then an additional sentence in the first paragraph saying "since 2008" would be fine. XLerate (talk) 04:17, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Is it possible anyone in the community can fix the information on this page? It needs to be updated as Damien is now again the current MP for the west coast after defeating Chris Auchinvole. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Testthebest (talk • contribs) 19:42, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated the infobox, the text looks ok to me. XLerate (talk) 21:59, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you recently edited Brian Aldridge, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page QSM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi XLerate .. Can i ask why you removed the link from the clay pigeon page pls ? the website it links to is a non-profit clay pigeon shooting team for the london ambulance service ( and soon to be national ambulance service team) and our aim is to promote the sport worldwide . the only advertising we have on the site is for adwords which helps (though no where near ) to pay for our server costs. The link was not spam and we are able/willing to offer help and advice to anyone wanting to join the sport . I know this because i run the team and any advertising (as such) is to promote the sport NOT profit you left https://sites.google.com/site/clayplattina/ which is to a profit making website and DOES breech the enternal link guidelines .. why? this link IS clearly spam .
