[edit] Dandenong railway line triplication

Nice job on the article. Myself I have been intending to starting some article on more historical expansion plans. If you are looking for another topic to work on, the trials and tribulations of the South Morang extension (Epping railway line, Melbourne) might take your fancy, or the Meeting Our Transport Challenges plan itself - articles on the four first proposed stations already exist:

Again, nice work. Wongm (talk) 09:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. There are a few more strands to add and I'll keep updating it as it develops. I notice you reverted my renaming of the Pakenham railway line article too. I was having second thoughts about that today as I discovered the whole set of articles follow the same naming pattern. I guess you saved me from the ire of others as they discovered it. I might leave the other rail lines to someone else, but I'll add the MOTC policy to my "to do" list. Cheers. Grimhim (talk) 10:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] First Taranaki War

I think this is very easily a "B" class article. It may well be higher, but to get a higher rating you need a more formal assessment than I'm qualified to give. I suggest you request a peer review and then go for either a good article rating or featured article rating depending on the feedback you get from the peer review. "A" class fits somewhere between these, but WPNZ has no procedure to decide whether an article is in this class. You should ask for a WikiProject:Military History A class review for that.

One possible improvement would be to add {{Infobox Military Conflict}} to it.-gadfium 01:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, Gadfium. I've requested an assessment at Military History as well. Grimhim (talk) 01:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:10ccband.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:10ccband.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

[edit] Second Taranaki War

I can't assess it any better. For promoting to B class please provide citations for the fact tags I put on the article and give a map of New Zealand that shows where the fighting took place. It is enough if you mark an area of conflict on the map, but a more sophisticated version with the individual battles in place would do much better. You can possible use google earth or another map and mark with a graphic editor the places where fighting occurred(plus a short text how this location is named and when it happened). First Punic War is an example how an editor did this with rather simple tools. Greetings Wandalstouring (talk) 08:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I hadn't seen this comment until now, and I've already assessed the article. While the fact tags should be satisfied, a map isn't a prerequisite for B-class status. You can't use Google Earth images on Wikipedia - they're not free content.-gadfium 10:09, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
A map is the most important supporting material, although it is not always considered a prerequisite. You can use for example coloured circles to outline European settlement area, area of conflict and Maori recruitment area. Wandalstouring (talk) 15:31, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank for your comments. I agree that maps would greatly help convey information, but at the moment that's more than I can do. I'll scratch around the Village Pump at some point, I guess, to see what would be involved. I'll move on to Titokowaru's War next, which will finish the third and final section of the Taranaki wars.
