Requested articles
[edit]If you create an article and it meets the criteria, please consider nominating it at Did you know.
Specific articles
[edit]Requests for New Zealand related articles can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Requested articles. Please add any articles you would like created, or believe are missing to the list there.
Pages containing numerous red links requiring articles
[edit]NZ biographies
[edit]Many New Zealand biographies are yet to be written, including for many people who have an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. The Women in Red project which supports the creation of biographies about women, has developed a Wikidata list of red linked women from New Zealand based on articles in other language versions of Wikipedia. Please note the guideline for notability of New Zealand people.
Requested images
[edit]If an article needs an image add {{Image requested|in=New Zealand}}
to the articles' talk page.
Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New Zealand lists all pages for which an image has been requested. Suitable historic photos may be found on the website of the National Library; please follow these instructions.
Pages needing work
[edit]- Culture of New Zealand this high importance article needs work - please jump into the talk page with thoughts / anaylsis
- New Zealand Indoor Bowls Base of article is there, needs some grammatical issues fixed and any other helful edits please
- Women's suffrage in New Zealand – this has a very negative spin on it towards NZ, maybe less about the fact NZ was not the first 'independent' nation to give woman the vote (according to the article) and more on the actual movement?
- Crown Fibre Holdings
- British Empire – very little mention of New Zealand in here
- NZX – needs much expansion
- Rakino Island – Needs cleaning up and referencing
- ANZAC Day – Needs to have more NZ related information – biased towards AUS.
- Socialist Unity Party of New Zealand – add few edits in last 2 years and needs references.
- Refugees in New Zealand – needs expanding
- European New Zealanders – needs urgent expanding.
- Aotearoa Music Awards – 'Tui_award_winners_YEAR' page slowly being deleted, information needs moving to 'YEAR in New Zealand' pages and formatting.
- Rūnanga – a major concept in Māori politics and culture. Currently a stub.
- Professor and Reader (academic rank) need work.
- Some of the stuff doesn't describe the situation in NZ very well IMHO. For example, Professor used to suggest that NZ universities use Reader not Associate Professor. I don't know which universities use Reader instead of Associate Professor but I know UoA doesn't and from a quick Google; Massey, Waikato, Victoria, Otago and Canterbury all use Associate Professor so I fixed the article to say most NZ universities use AP. The reader article doesn't really describe this well and I haven't fixed it. 203.109.240.93 00:49, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I believe the University of NZ used to use the British system but as time goes on more academics are using the American system. In the 1990s Lincoln University allowed its lecturers to choose.
- That wouldn't make sense in general, as a Professor is a much higher rank in New Zealand than it is in the US, if lecturers could simply "choose" to be full professors (skipping senior lecturer and associate professor ranks) it would be too confusing. No university I know of does that.CoronaryKea (talk) 10:47, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
- IP presumably means they allowed them to choose between the British or American systems, i.e. "reader" or "associate professor", etc. Furius (talk) 22:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
- Clint Brown – needs expanding – career details added
- New Zealand local elections, 2004 – only 4 regions done in detail
- New Zealand local elections, 2007 – I have just added the region but only 4 done Whakaoriori (talk) 11:58, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
- Current general and Māori electorates linked from New Zealand electorates require details of population centres and history as most are section stubs
- Lance Adams-Schneider – Needs expansion, focusing on his stint as NZ ambassador to the US
- Parliaments of New Zealand – i.e. 3rd Parliament of New Zealand, 4th etc. – needs detail of Members, maybe going through other articles most of the information could be scraped together. Also early General elections (i.e. New Zealand general election, 1884.
- HMNZS Kiama – the section on her 24 years in the RNZN is almost entirely unreferenced, and is a bit sparse given the length of service (1952–1976).
- Alcohol in New Zealand – needs expanding. I've taken a fair bit of material from other more complete pages, but needs more work.
- Tertiary education in New Zealand – I created this article by copying a whole lot of material from elsewhere. Needs more citations! Help would be appreciated! Ballofstring (talk) 00:51, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
- Brian Lochore – article on one of NZ's most prominent sportsmen is only slightly longer than stub length.
- Lyttelton, New Zealand - Article is messy, hard to read. Needs work as of 22/04/2020.--Violetnights (talk) 09:41, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
- RBNZ - Needs much expansion
- Skiing in New Zealand - Article is very high level with no discussion on the history of skiing within New Zealand
- Sheep shearing relates almost entirely to Australia. Some NZ content would be welcome.
