3 November 2020

• 02:0102:01, 3 November 2020 diff hist +306 Aciphylla colensoi Noted (with a reference) the other common name, "Spaniard" (as it was already used in the caption of a photo)

29 October 2020

• 01:1401:14, 29 October 2020 diff hist +8 Richard Cromwell Added a "clarification needed" tag to a confusing sentence. (In general, this page is written in confusing, somewhat archaic language, and should be rewritten.)
• 01:1101:11, 29 October 2020 diff hist −10 m Arthur's Pass (mountain pass) →History: The link for "Greymouth" should be on that name
• 01:0601:06, 29 October 2020 diff hist +3 Arthur's Pass (mountain pass) →History: "greenstone or pounamu" -> "greenstone (pounamu)" (to make it clear that these are the same thing, rather than two different things)
• 01:0301:03, 29 October 2020 diff hist −15 Linum monogynum "endemic to the islands of New Zealand" -> "endemic to New Zealand" (simplified, as New Zealand is nothing but islands)

26 October 2020

• 01:5401:54, 26 October 2020 diff hist −238 Jack Whetton Added a "More citations needed" tag, and removed lots of unencyclopedic POV
• 01:5001:50, 26 October 2020 diff hist −3 Heaphy Track →Mountain biking: November has 30 days, not 31
• 01:4901:49, 26 October 2020 diff hist 0 Heaphy Track →Landscape along the track: "in spate" -> "in flood" (more common usage); also added a link for "nikau", and reduced POV

11 October 2020

• 23:3023:30, 11 October 2020 diff hist +14 Scott Manley →Notable collaborations: "the comet" -> "a fictional rogue comet" (as the comet had not been mentioned before on this page)

20 September 2020

• 23:1823:18, 20 September 2020 diff hist −8 m Kiwi No need to mention the abbreviation here; it's already implied by the lead (and is noted in the target page anyway)
• 22:4922:49, 20 September 2020 diff hist +9 Wairoa The sentence about the use of the phrase "Te Wairoa" needs a reference
• 22:4822:48, 20 September 2020 diff hist −8 Wairoa According to the reference, Wairoa is one of three *towns* - not districts - in NZ "where Māori outnumber other ethnicities"

13 September 2020

• 11:4811:48, 13 September 2020 diff hist −17 m Vieta jumping "Vieta's formulae" -> "Vieta's formulas" (use the form that's used in the rest of this article, and for the title of the target page)
• 11:3511:35, 13 September 2020 diff hist +324 Talk:Adam Carolla →Should we be naming his (minor) children?: new section
• 11:3211:32, 13 September 2020 diff hist 0 m Jordan Harbinger →Media career: minor c/e (citation after punctuation)

12 September 2020

• 14:0814:08, 12 September 2020 diff hist −21 Robert Whittaker (fighter) For his birthplace in the infobox, it's sufficient to just say "Auckland, New Zealand", rather than a specific suburb of Auckland (which is unreferenced)

4 September 2020

• 06:4406:44, 4 September 2020 diff hist +6 Malaita The claim that "Malaita's pristine river systems and tropical forests have not been exploited" needs a citation (and also is a bit POVish)

1 September 2020

• 05:3505:35, 1 September 2020 diff hist 0 Judith Collins All sources seem to spell her husband's name with a hyphen: David Wong-Tung

31 August 2020

• 14:4714:47, 31 August 2020 diff hist +592 Talk:Extreme points of Earth →"Palestine" -> "West Bank"?
• 14:4014:40, 31 August 2020 diff hist +8 Saint Catherine's Monastery →Christian traditions: "her" -> "Catherine's

29 August 2020

• 10:4310:43, 29 August 2020 diff hist −56 Antipodes →Air travel between antipodes: Corrected the section about the hypothetical Tangier<->Whangarei flight. It is only 'almost' perfect; their runways do not "cross in projection" (each runway is about 25 km from the other's antipode). Also, the sentence about needing "at least two plane changes" was too specific. (Auckland is probably necessary as a transit point, but not necessarily London.)
• 10:3610:36, 29 August 2020 diff hist +4 Moab Khotsong mine →History: Made the (Biblical) "Moab" into a link
• 10:3510:35, 29 August 2020 diff hist +387 Talk:Extreme points of Earth →"Palestine" -> "West Bank"?: new section
• 10:3210:32, 29 August 2020 diff hist +149 Talk:Extreme points of Earth →Southernmost point on water?: Agree
• 10:3210:32, 29 August 2020 diff hist +9 m Extreme points of Earth →Latitude and longitude: "water" -> "(liquid) water" (because ice is also water)
• 10:2910:29, 29 August 2020 diff hist −1 Omsk Undid revision 974303554 by 2600:1011:B144:9CD1:9EBF:BDB7:7E0:2609 (talk) This broke a link Tag: Undo

23 August 2020

• 07:2007:20, 23 August 2020 diff hist +171 Lake Rotopounamu Fixed a broken URL for the DOC reference, and added a better explanation of the name
• 07:1207:12, 23 August 2020 diff hist +699 MS The World →COVID-19: Updated with a reference to a report that the ship had been asked to leave Australia, was denied entrance into New Zealand, and is currently berthed in Falmouth, UK
• 06:5906:59, 23 August 2020 diff hist −5 m MS The World Removed spaces before citations

19 August 2020

• 07:3207:32, 19 August 2020 diff hist −4 m Baldwin Street →History: removed a couple of stray spaces between citations
• 07:3107:31, 19 August 2020 diff hist −294 Viet Cong Use the common English (page title) spelling throughout (the lead sentence notes the Vietnamese spelling)
• 07:1707:17, 19 August 2020 diff hist −448 Dalton Papali'i Moved the reference noting the pronunciation of his name from "Early life and education" to the lead sentence
• 07:1407:14, 19 August 2020 diff hist −92 Tuatara Improved the sentence about the 2005 tuatara release into (what is now known as) Zealandia

17 August 2020

• 08:5808:58, 17 August 2020 diff hist +290 Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention →User-reported: Reporting "Aklfestival"
• 03:3103:31, 17 August 2020 diff hist −72 Reptiles of New Zealand Reverted. The claim that "saltwater crocodiles are accidentally present in New Zealand during the summertime" would need a reference Tag: Undo

15 August 2020

• 09:0809:08, 15 August 2020 diff hist +24 Chris Gruetzemacher →Background: Corrected the spelling of Gruetzemacher's father's surname. However, this sentence needs a better reference; the current one is now dead
• 09:0509:05, 15 August 2020 diff hist +6 Dan Lauzon →Ultimate Fighting Championship: The statement that he was "the second youngest fighter ever to appear in the UFC" needs a citation. (It would also be nice to know who was the youngest.)
• 09:0409:04, 15 August 2020 diff hist +32 David Farrier →Career: Made it clear that Farrier wrote the article about 'sexual dares on YouTube'; the previous wording could have implied instead that he was somehow involved in this
• 09:0109:01, 15 August 2020 diff hist −49 Rongotai (New Zealand electorate) →Population centres: It's sufficient just to say that the constituency contains "the Chatham Islands"; it's not necessary to say "the Chatham Islands including Waitangi"

10 August 2020

• 05:3105:31, 10 August 2020 diff hist −65 Milford Sound (village) Removed "also called '''Milford City''' by its first permanent resident" from the lead sentence because it's unreferenced, and is not important enough for the lead sentence anyway. (Perhaps it belongs in "History"?)
• 05:2905:29, 10 August 2020 diff hist 0 New Zealand national rugby union team →Henry era: corrected spelling of Keven Mealamu
• 05:2805:28, 10 August 2020 diff hist 0 Dangerous play in rugby union →Dangerous tackles: corrected spelling of Keven Mealamu
• 05:2805:28, 10 August 2020 diff hist 0 Filipo Levi →Career: corrected spelling of Keven Mealamu

9 August 2020

• 00:3800:38, 9 August 2020 diff hist −36 Karijini National Park copy-editing on the lead paragraph
• 00:3400:34, 9 August 2020 diff hist −14 James Parsons (rugby union) Corrected spelling of Keven Mealamu (yes, it really is "Keven")
• 00:3300:33, 9 August 2020 diff hist +5 James Parsons (rugby union) The statement that he is "one of eight All Blacks to have come from the Takapuna Rugby Club" needs a citation
• 00:3200:32, 9 August 2020 diff hist +55 James Parsons (rugby union) The fact that he is an All Black deserves to be in the lead paragraph. (Also copy-edit citations)
