[edit] Wikinews New Zealand Logo

I have edited a logo for you similar to the Australian wikinews logo that you asked about over in the Aus discussion. Is this what you were after? If you need me to change anything, just let me know. Aussiechris 00:25, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Auckland Meetup

Just to let you know that a meetup is planned in Auckland for the 25th of June (see Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland for more details), and that you are all cordially invited. Brian | (Talk) | ^{New Zealand Portal} 23:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graphical Update

I recently updated the New Zealand infobox and the main page of the New Zealand Portal, please tell me what you think. --Nzgabriel | NZ Portal | Talk 09:33, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup no. 2?

It’s been suggested that New Zealand have a Meetup No. 2 to “follow up to from the last meetup (and a reminder) how are people for another one? I would guess Wellington would be a natural choice of venue or perhaps elsewhere (Chc?) if enough are interested. Alternatively Auckland could have another one. I'm not sure Dec/Jan is a great time but perhaps it doesn't make a big difference. Thoughts? / Availability / Interest / Timing / Location ?” Check out the New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board if anyone has any comments / ideas.

[edit] Meetup 3

I noticed several other meetups, so I thought I would note: There is an Auckland meetup organised on enwiki happening on the 11th, see the meetup page for info. TheFearow 01:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
