List of historic places in Tauranga

Featured list candidates/List of historic places in Tauranga/archive1

Nominator(s): Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:20, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Another one of these New Zealand Heritage List nominations! This one's a bit bigger than the previous few, coming in at 30 entries. Tauranga is definitely one of the more obscure cities in New Zealand - it's a sleepy little town that seems to mainly attract retirees - but it has some interesting military and colonial history nevertheless! Thanks to all you reviewers :3 Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 06:20, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Image caption end with a period.

That'd be against MOS:CAPTION unless it's a full sentence. -G

The majority of entries in the list are missing images. IMO these images should exist in thumbnails on the side of the list (similar to List of Seattle Sounders FC players)

If a Wikimedian visits Tauranga and snaps some pics, most of these will get images. I want to leave the slots open for when/if that happens. - G

Images that don't have alt text should have alt text

Fixed, thank you for catching that. -G

Heritage New Zealand classification of sites on the New Zealand Heritage List / Rārangi Kōrero, in accordance with the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014, distinguishes between Category 1 ("places of special or outstanding historical or cultural significance") and Category 2 ("places of historic or cultural significance"). - first clause in the sentence should be shortened or broken into multiple sentences.

Done. - G

Comments

"Home to large Māori settlements during the precolonial era, European presence began" - there's some grammatical disagreement here - "European presence" wasn't home to large Maori settlements. Suggest "European presence began in the early 1830s in the area, which had been home to large Māori settlements during the precolonial era, as traders began settling around the shores of Tauranga Harbour."
"from 1908 to 1987, where it has since seen various business tenants" - "where" doesn't really work here. Suggest "from 1908 to 1987, and has since seen various business tenants"
That's it, I think! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:29, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: Reworded the first and implemented the latter! Thank you. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 15:44, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disclosing upfront that I came here through the unofficial Wikimedia Discord server. Marking myself down for a review, will report back in the next couple days. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 20:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I had more time tonight than I had anticipated, so I was able to bang out a quick image review:

All images have suitable alt text, though I question if the alt text for the leading image should mention that it is a 19th century house – would the reader know such from looking at the image?
All images are appropriately licensed for either public domain or Creative Commons – indeed, each one is the work of the uploader.
All images contribute encyclopedic value to the list.

The small quibble about the alt text isn't a dealbreaker for me, so I'm going to support on images. Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 22:00, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey man im josh

Source review: Passed

Reliable enough for the information being cited
Consistent date formatting
Consistent and proper reference formatting
Appropriate wikilinks where applicable
Spot checks on 15 sources match what they are being cited for

Feedback:

Why do some of the refs use " Te Ao Mārama - Tauranga City Libraries" instead of simply "Tauranga City Libraries"? I see the copyright lists, but I think it may be more appropriate to just list the second option. Partly because I looked at Te Ao Mārama, and it seems more symbolic that they include that in the copyright? Please do correct me if I'm wrong.

That's all I've got, good stuff as always! Hey man im josh (talk) 20:54, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hey man im josh: Oops, good catch there with the libraries. Fixed. Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 05:45, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You missed one, but I got it. Support. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:01, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
