[edit] St Peter's College, Auckland

I see that you have expanded the Notable former Staff section of this article, yet many of the entries are simply the name of an individual. Please add information that makes these individuals noteable. Within Wikipedia ...

Notability is not an opinion, it is based on facts and a set of Wikipedia policies. A topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, reliable published works, whose sources are independent of the subject itself. Enforcing notability criteria for articles is important, and ensures that articles meet core criteria such as verifiability and no original research.

I can understand that you, as an alumnus, believe that all of these individuals are noteable, and if they are, the Wikipedia community would appreciate you providing supporting information. If they are not, would you please consider removing them. Thank you. Truthanado 01:56, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi there! Just wanted to say thanks for the compliment of 'tidied the article up' you said on your userpage. You must have worked countless hours on that article, and I've been trying to help out. Once again, thanks! jj137Talk 20:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Hi Rick,

The Original Barnstar
I hereby award this Original Barnstar for your ongoing and tireless work on the St Peter's College, Auckland article. Well done! Rob Lindsey 05:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
  • Even though the article may well need to be trimmed down at some point to meet some of Wikipedia's more stringent guidelines, you've done a huge amount of work that no one else seems to have noticed. Except for me! Keep it up. Rob Lindsey 05:28, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

P.S. I've never given a Barnstar before, which goes to show that I reckon you've earned it!


[edit] Thanks

Thanks For adding the extra paragraph on St Peters college Houses that I started . Damian R Thomson

[edit] John Paul College

We have an existing article at John Paul College (New Zealand), and since that has more history I've suggested we merge the new article you've started at John Paul College, Rotorua into it, even though your article is already much better developed. I'm not going to object to a merge in the other direction though. If you make the merge yourself, use an edit summary such as "merged from John Paul College, Rotorua", and change the other article to a redirect.-gadfium 06:34, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion

[edit] An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Outhwaite Family, Auckland, was selected for DYK!

[edit] Mt Eden prisons

Could you please have a look here?. I am trying to link the reference you gave with the Herald database, which usually keeps all the articles of recent years online, freely accessible. But I had trouble getting the information you referenced with that ref. Please understand that I am not trying to get the info or the ref deleted - I am just curious, as to the what and why. Ingolfson 09:16, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I have an extract from the hard copy of the New Zealand Herald, Friday , June 15, 2007, Section A, page 2, "GO-ahead for new Mt eden jail, by Elizabeth Binning (police reporter). Sorry, I don't know about internet versions. I have access to Knowledge Basket newstext and will check there when I get time. How else can I help?? Rick570 21.56, 21 october 2007(UTC)

Its fine - I'm quite willing to trust you that you cited the information correctly. Just because something isn't online does not invalidate a reference. If you want to go the distance, maybe hunt down an additional reference for the riots which *is* online. Ingolfson 00:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
[1] would appear to be a very good reference.-gadfium 00:42, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks as ever Gadfium. You are always so helpful. The old 1966 Encyclopedia of New Zealand is a great reference work, and it is very good that it is on line. I will add the reference in where appropriate when I get the time. Rick570 21.00, 23 october 2007(UTC)
