May 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lake Manapouri has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): [a-z][0-9]+\.photobucket\.com/albums/.*\.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg) (links: http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/fjordland/fiordland/bobtrack3.jpg, http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/fjordland/fiordland/bobtrack3.jpg (redirect from http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k171/fjordland/fiordland/bobtrack3.jpg)). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 00:33, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Prominence of Mountains

Hi there, Could you please read Topographic prominence and only use the prominence field of the mountain infobox if you have proper data for it. Also, what on earth is "John Hall Jones" supposed to mean as a reference for Mount Titiroa? If it is a person, that cannot be used as a reference as the average reader has no means to contact the person to verify the information. If it is a book, please learn how to cite references (see WP:CITE. If you have any questions on how to create Wikipedia articles, feel free to ask on my talk page. Thanks, dramatic (talk) 00:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On May 28, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Wilmot Pass, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Milford Road

Hi there. Have you thought of taking the information you used for your Milford Road article and incorporating it in New Zealand State Highway 94? Most articles on highways are listed under the highway number, and the name Milford Road properly only applies to that part of State Highway 94 between Milford Crescent and Caswell Road within Te Anau township: a distance of less than 1 km. Cheers. Daveosaurus (talk) 09:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aaron - saw your letter in the ODT. The merger proposal is largely simply because the Milford Road forms such an integral part of SH 94 that it makes sense to keep all the information together. Even if the articles are merged, there would still be a redirect from the title "Milford Road" so that anyone searching for information by that name will be able to find it. BTW, as to helping to promote the south through information online, that's a primary reason why some of us are writing so many articles here (including the couple of dozen I recently started on suburbs of Dunedin!). Good to know you're another active Wikipedian - all the best to you, P, & E. Grutness...wha? 01:06, 29 June 2009 (UTC) (aka James in Dunedin)[reply]

Tolkien Mountain

Hello. I wanted to let you know that I have redirected this article to the main article about Tolkien. From all I could find this name has not yet been officially accepted and it was only on 1 December that a report was made that an "unnamed peak could be named Mt Tolkien". I couldn't find the name at the New Zealand Geographic Board Database and the radio broadcast at Youtube you provided was also only speculating about a possible renaming. If you have a direct link to the LINZ database that shows how the new name has been accepted, please let me know. De728631 (talk) 22:13, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

December 2012

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as JRR Tolkien's Mountain, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please note that creating promotional articles in support of a contest to name a mountain in honor of J.R.R. Tolkien is considered inappropriate content for an encyclopedia. Cindy(talk to me) 12:17, 24 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
