User talk:Robin Patterson

I have gone ahead and made, you an admin (sysop); on the New Zealand Wikicity, hope you don't object (So you can remove spam, vandalism, etc, faster).

To answer your question, yes it is a genuine wikicity, I have just added it to the central Wikicities list.

Yes I’m guilty, I based the site notice, on the New Zealand wiki; from the one on the you wrote Maori Wikipedia :)  :)

Trying to learn how to use babel. Regarding images, you can use my images wherever you want. Only thing is, please let me know what you are doing so that I need not duplicate.

Visit NZ places
We visited NZ places two years back only. I do not think I can write anything on that. Still, shall think over. However you have mentioned something on Quit India and my images. Can you please elaborate. I am always here to help you. This would be a very small return.

Blueskin Bay Counselling
Thanks for the feedback on the page being rather long now, I agree with your observation. I would not place a counselling service in a personal context as I am running a business. That the service I offer is of a highly personal nature doesn't negate from the fact it is a business on offer to the local population. Hope this makes sense for you.

Ad free
Hi! Would you like this wiki to be ad-free? I'm looking for wikis to be part of a new program which would remove all ads from the wiki for $19.95/month.

What's in a name
Why is this wikia simply called New Zealand and not New Zealand Wiki? Mr Taz (talk) 02:49, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * You could ask the Founder. Seems unnecessary to add the word "Wiki" though. -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 02:57, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Weet-Bix vs WeetaBix
Could information about the difference between Weet-Bix' and WeetaBix be added?Mr Taz (talk) 19:34, April 12, 2018 (UTC)
 * Of course. Preferably written by someone who has experienced the difference. I recently asked a cousin visiting from Scotland, but he could not describe the difference. -- Robin Patterson (Talk) 01:13, April 13, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hi, thanks for the welcome! The reason I proposed Category:New Zealanders for deletion is because Category:People from New Zealand already exists. Not sure why I didn't give a reason for deletion, but I will make sure I do so in future. Best wishes, Danochy (talk) 05:43, May 16, 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for making the change, however I noticed that you chose the category to be Category:New Zealand people. The text at the top of Category:New Zealand, however, says categories shouldn't start with "New Zealand", so I feel Category:People from New Zealand is a more appropriate choice. Thanks, Danochy (talk) 12:37, May 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Yes, there is a "conflict" between two ideals there. In my experience, having category names that match Wikipedia exactly has much practical value. Wikipedia seems to have changed its mind on this one so I went along with it. The only real disadvantage of starting a page name with "New Zealand" is that you need to use a variation of the pipe trick to get sensible listing in parent categories. --- Robin Patterson (Talk) 23:11, May 18, 2020 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. Danochy (talk) 13:05, May 21, 2020 (UTC)

I removed the ref from the above page because it no longer linked to the page in question, but now links to the homepage.Kathleen.wright5 (talk) 12:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
