Thanks! --ProtoKiwi (talk) 14:19, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

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)

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)

Minor edits

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)

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)

Hi from the Christchurch Wikipedians

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)

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

Help Requested: Notability review

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)

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)
