! On a final note, you may want to try the new (beta) VisualEditor, check out our weekly newspaper, the Wikipedia Signpost, and join a WikiProject of interest to you{{#if:|, especially {{{wikiproject}}}}}. WikiProjects gather editors interested in certain topic areas, providing them with information, tools and a place to discuss the topic in question. Based on your recent edits I think you may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Human rights. For a list of all WikiProjects, see here. Joining a WikiProject makes the Wikipedia experience much richer! Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 05:15, 17 August 2015 (UTC) |

By the way, good work on this article! Schwede66 19:21, 18 April 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)
