[edit] Alice Spragg

Alice Spragg was my partner's grandmother. She was the daughter of a chief Hansard reporter and granddaughter of one of Dunedin's most prominent families, and was a well known figure in pre-WWI Wellington. She is occasionally cited as being the model. There is no direct documentary evidence, but photographs of her from the time show a striking resemblance to the figure, and there is quite a lot of circumstantial evidence to suggest that she was the model.

[edit] Redesign

What was the reason for the 1956 alterations to the arms? Drutt 23:44, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

  • This page has some of the explanations. Seems that the design wasn't really formalised originally and all sorts of minor variations had been creeping in. Actually, there are some interesting factlets on that page that should find their way into the wikipedia article... Grutness...wha? 12:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:New Zealand Coat of Arms old.gif

Image:New Zealand Coat of Arms old.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

There has been a fair use rationale in place on that page since it was loaded, you silly bot. Someone needs to give you a tweak! Grutness...wha? 06:44, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
