Hi, welcome to ! It is unlikely that anyone has looked at your edit to the Parliament of New Zealand page yet, but someone will.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Robin Patterson (talk) 07:12, June 1, 2015 (UTC)

Kapai
Kia ora. Good work there, sport! It's nice to see another person with enough energy to add significant content here. Whole-country wikias don't seem to attract much enthusiasm.

When copying from Wikipedia (which is an excellent way to start an article), please add the required acknowledgement at the bottom: Wikipedia. See Help:Copying from Wikipedia.

E noho ra.

Promotion with caution
You are now an administrator here. Good work.

However, some of your recent renamings lead to ambiguities. You added "New Zealand" to an elections pagename, which was probably very good. However, you removed that distinction from the names of some parties, which makes them ambiguous in a world context, and at least one is ambiguous even within NZ: Alliance was a food producer before a coalition took the name.

I strongly recommend that you adopt Wikipedia's pagenames except where there's no likelihood of ambiguity. If nothing else, that makes it easier to link to the Wikipedia page (with AlsoWP or Wikipedia) and to minimize the number of redirects arising from copying of WP pages.

Enjoy!

Now an additional power or two, in case I get too senile too fast. Keep up the good work! -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 02:49, February 16, 2017 (UTC)
