RJ:New Zealand federal budget

Would that be 'national' then? Note that Wikipedia takes a worldwide view where possible. Ottre 05:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

My apologies, perhaps you are new here. Wikipedia works via trademark policies. You need citations to show why it is inappropriate to delineate the term. Please feel free to respond at the article talk page. Ottre 05:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
I'm not all that new. Perhaps you are confused by my empty talk page. That's because I archive it regularly. See to the right of the page for the archives.
I wasn't aware that Wikipedia works via trademark policies. Could you point me to the policy or guideline page which explains this? At any rate, I rather doubt that anyone has a trademark over the phrase "New Zealand budget" which would prevent it being used as the title of an encyclopedia article. We use the most common term for articles, see WP:COMMONNAME. In the case of the article on the New Zealand budget delivered in 2006, the title 2006 New Zealand budget would appear to meet this guideline.-gadfium 07:16, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Geonotice

Gmaxwell has not been running the Geonotice for several months (I think he's been busy). I would advise you to plan your meetup on the assumption that the Geonotice doesn't happen (and if it does that's a bonus!)--Pharos (talk) 12:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Let me be the

first to say congrats. Kaiwhakahaere (talk) 21:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Sri Lanka

Hello Gadfium, i was told by User:Grutness that i can get help from you to improve portals. i am working on Portal:Sri Lanka, i have done major revamps, but still there are some work to do. like setting criteria for selected article, assessing them and Selecting DYKs. i hope you can help me with it. wishes! --chanakal (talk) 03:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did play a major role in the New Zealand portal in its early days, and still maintain the Oceania portal, but I limit my time on portal work now. I regret to say that I have never been to Sri Lanka and know little about the country, so I can not help you.-gadfium 03:37, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Quite alright Gadfium, wishes! --chanakal (talk) 03:50, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oceania portal featured article suggestion

I posted Hokule'a on the Oceania Portal's featured article suggestion list, and on a later visit, realized it was not the suggestion list, it was the list itself. I should have posted in the next section down, I think. Sorry about that. I'll go move it down to the next section. Newportm (talk) 03:07, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to add articles directly to the selected articles list. I will include Hokule'a in the next few months.-gadfium 03:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Political parties in New Zealand

That is quite rich from you. As far as I am aware, that is actually a political party. Verify your facts before accusing me of deliberatly breaking Wikipedia's verifable rules. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendan Madley (talk • contribs) 06:39, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please include a link to the party's website, and a link to some reliable third party source to verify that the party exists.-gadfium 06:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
