Good work on the PGC Building. I had actually started work on that a few weeks ago but progress was slow and didn't end up writing anything meaningful. I'm glad that you wrote it instead hàha. ―Panamitsu (talk) 20:02, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! It's interesting that we were both drawn to writing an article for it recently. I guess it was about time to fill the gap. ProtoKiwi (talk) 02:15, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As an aside, minor edit has a specific meaning on Wikipedia. The moment you add or delete a word, it's no longer a minor edit. Please see Help:Minor edit if you want to know the backstory. Schwede66 06:28, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for letting me know, it looks like I've been using this wrong for years. Oops! ProtoKiwi (talk) 12:51, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there; I stumbled across your edits and saw that you've worked on some Canterbury-related articles. Are you based in Christchurch? We have monthly meetups happening now, and a WikiCon in Christchurch in May. Also drop me a line if you're interested in collaborating on some Banks-Peninsula-related projects. —Mike / Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 08:29, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll have a look. ProtoKiwi (talk) 23:56, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, welcome, welcome ProtoKiwi! I'm glad that you are joining the June 2025 drive! Please, have a cup of WikiTea, and go cite some articles.

Hi @ProtoKiwi – I hope you don’t mind the message! I’m reaching out because I’ve updated the article on journalist Laurie Segall with multiple reliable, secondary sources and am requesting a notability review.

I've posted a full request on the article’s Talk page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Laurie_Segall#Request_to_Update_Page_&_Remove_Notability_Tag

The updates include: • Webby Awards (2018, 2025) • Book coverage for *Special Characters* (San Francisco Chronicle, Kirkus, People) • Appearances in Netflix and HBO documentaries (*The Social Dilemma*, *Glitch: The Rise & Fall of HQ Trivia*, *Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal*) • Gracie Awards and additional press • Expanded Career, Book, and Media Appearances sections with proper citations

If you’re available to take a look or provide guidance on next steps, I’d deeply appreciate it. Thank you so much for your time and service to the community! Astro415 (talk) 04:02, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did a quick search and it looks like the subject meets notability criteria, but I haven't replied on the talk page as it seems to be broken (topic missing/not signed properly). ProtoKiwi (talk) 05:04, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Protokiwi,

I'm writing because I've seen you're active on Christchurch-related articles, but you haven't been to a local Wikipedians meeting. I'm just letting you know that there is an Ōtautahi Christchurch Wiki Meetup tomorrow (Sunday 24th) at Scoundrel, 375 St Asaph Street, from 10:00 to midday—check out our new banner:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:Meetup/Christchurch/45

David and I have scheduled monthly meetups through to October, mostly on Sundays, some on Saturdays. We're happy to take suggestions for different dates and venues as well. There will also be some community editing events and possibly a weekend retreat planned for later in the year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Christchurch

We'd like to make the meetups a mixture of news and reports, and social editing. They should be a chance for people to share what they're working on, get or give help, and get some wiki work done together. Hope to see you at one!
