The article New Plymouth Heritage List has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:SYNTH - not really notable on its own, have any secondary sources specifically talked about the New Plymouth Heritage List?

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This is a list containing all the heritage buidings and sites in New Plymouth, New Zealand (as per NZHPT clasification), so they have a historical significance for the city. --itineris₅₅ 22:34, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:itineris55|<span style="color:navy;">'''''itineris'''''</span>]][[User_Talk:itineris55|<sub><small style="color:dimgray ">'''55'''</small></sub>]] ASAP.

The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature.

If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 02:45, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Resolved

@Sheep8144402: Done, thank you. --itineris₅₅ 23:05, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for taking all those nice photos of heritage buildings. Much appreciated. And if you are keen to hang out with other Wikipedians and Wikimedians, this might interest you. Schwede66 09:05, 16 February 2023 (UTC)

Your edit to Richmond Cottage, New Plymouth has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. There were a couple of sentences nearly word-for-word identical with the Heritage New Zealand source. Probably not intentional; please be more careful with writing content in your own words. Schwede66 05:49, 25 March 2023 (UTC)

In order to avoid any “slip” (not intentional, of course) I started to use Plagiarism Checker by Grammarly before inserting any new text. --itineris₅₅ 08:20, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

Great idea. And just for clarity - I never assumed any ill-intent at your end. Schwede66 23:55, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

I notice you changing Pākehā in many articles to {{lang|mi|Pākehā}}. While the word originated in the Māori language, it is now part of New Zealand English. For example, it appears in Heinemann New Zealand dictionary (1979) and in Oxford Dictionary of New Zealand (1997). The latter says it has been used in English since c.1850. These dictionaries do not use macrons, but macrons have become common in New Zealand English words of Māori origin over the last couple of decades. I'm not aware of any more recently published New Zealand English dictionaries. The articles in which Pākehā appears are almost all tagged as using New Zealand English. I think therefore you should not be tagging them as Māori language, unless you also think words such as café should be tagged as {{lang|fr|café}}.-Gadfium (talk) 03:30, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

I was just going to say this and I concur. ―Panamitsu (talk) 03:34, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

I understand that, as per MOS:NON-ENG, we do not tag with lang the words that appear in multiple major English dictionaries, not italicised. Anyway, I will not change anymore the Pākehā word if it's already a loanword in English. Thank you for letting me know. --itineris₅₅ 03:49, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Itineris55. Thank you for your work on King Building, New Plymouth. Another editor, Nil NZ, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Excellent work! I've greatly enjoyed seeing these new articles of familiar sites from my childhood pop up. I have added a citation needed tag, as terms like "grand entranceway" and "excellent ventilation" should be attributed to a reliable source, as they're non-neutral descriptors, and I couldn't see them mentioned in the nearest cited source.
