Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!
Here are some tips to help you get started:
Good luck!

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes -- Tagishsimon (talk)
Hi. I've nominated your excellent Image:Wellington City Night.jpg as a candidate on Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. I don't know if it will succeed (it's sometimes a very tough room), but IMHO it should. Keep up the good work, either way. -- John Fader ( talk | contribs) 00:36, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
Just a note to say your panoramas are inspirational. I also have a Canon G3, but nothing like your skill in using it. I must upload some of the panoramas I took of Auckland's West Coast beaches a couple of years ago.- gadfium 03:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
2+2=4... Are you who I think you are? :)

hello?

More people into Geocaching? Struth. Just like on wikipeda, my username for Geocaching is Griggonator.
Nice photos! Digital or film? Thanks for fixing the caption on that Dunedin pic, I was looking over at the left side, and scratching my head. Do you have a picture of a Kabocha? I just did an article, and a picture would be good, worth 938 words. Great pics, keep up the good work. WikiDon
I see that we have each provided one of the two pictures on the Mosgiel page - perhaps we should have got User:Robert P. O'Shea to provide the text! Grutness... wha? 05:32, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
I've been tempted to start a Mount Cargill article - it's linked from quite a few articles - Dunedin, of course, but also things like Cloud forest. Grutness... wha? 09:00, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi Donovan - Cyberjunkie and I have just been putting in a few items on the brand new Wikipedia:Wikiportal/New Zealand page - possibly just as temporaries, but who knows (there isn't any system set up for voting on these things yet), and I needed someting to add as the "Featured picture" on the page. So that Wellington night picture is getting a bit more of an audience :) Grutness... wha? 13:19, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I'm currently working on an article about Robert Lawson the New Zealand architect (it's still in users-space, don't bother to correct spelling and grammar, I'll change things a 1000 times yet). I've "borrowed" your great pictures of the castle. Do you by any chance have any taken in daylight, or pictures of any of his other work. James is a photographic accomplice on this, but if you have anything as well, that would be great.
Regards. Giano | talk 12:43, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Your photographs are excellent, and I felt like heaping praise on you for that. Hang on, let me go get a spoon. Mr. Billion 06:03, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thanks a million, that is exactly what I wanted, especially like the detail image. I'm away this weekend. but hope to have some time for the article next week. Thanks again. Giano | talk 8 July 2005 12:24 (UTC)
(Firstly thanks for the welcome!)
Your panoramas are amazing, and reminded me of a stereo photography conference I went to many years ago, where an old guy showed his highlights from 30 years of stereo photography. One of his panoramas from Paris (I think) looked like yours.
You may want to try it, more than happy to explain more if needed. -- Quiettype 13:21, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
I thought you might like to know, that since one of you images was one of the most popular WP:FPC nominations this year, I've entered it into the Wikimania Media Competition.
Also having looked over your gallery of panoramas on the Commons, I thought I should offer you a Photographers Barnstar, but I see you already been given that award above. I'm surprised you haven't transfered it to your main user page. -- Solipsist 19:51, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
Hi Donovan,
And as chance would have it, your panorama of Wellington is up for Pic of the Day on the the 23rd July. You can check and improve the caption at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/July 23, 2005. This may not be cast in stone, as the 23rd is a Saturday, so this will be the second weekend that POTD will be on the Main Page. It might turn out that the wide panorama causes layout problems that we can't solve, but hopefully we will manage. -- Solipsist 18:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
interesting how you did not use that god awful term kiwi and said new zealander in ur profile...the world needs more people like u
A photo you contributed to Wikipedia, Image:Castle Larnach Exterior Day.jpg, is currently the selected picture on the New Zealand portal. You're welcome to nominate other pictures of New Zealand at Portal_talk:New_Zealand#Selected_picture suggestions, or to view the archive of selected pictures at the picture archive.- gadfium 23:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello Geocachernemesis,
My name is Fernanda Viégas and I have been studying Wikipedia for a while now (you can see a paper I published on the subject here). I would like to ask you a few questions about your activities as a Wikipedia image creator. I am fascinated by the pictorial side of Wikipedia and it would be great to hear about this community from one of its members. Would you be available to participate an email survey this week? Thanks, — Fernanda 03:33, 4 April 2006 (UTC) | talk
I just left you a message at Commons:User talk:Geocachernemesis (in case you check here but don't check there). User:dbenbenn 01:35, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm virtually inative on wikimedia right now. I just don't have time to address questions. But, that may change in a couple of months.:) (Donovan| Geocachernemesis| Interact) 04:36, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello Geocachernemesis. I wanted to inform you that there has been a new policy enacted on en.wikibooks that requests all admins who have been inactive for a year or more to relinquish their admin powers. This is not supposed to be a punishment of any sort, we are only trying to clean house. If you do not plan on returning to wikibooks in the future, we ask that you please return your admin privledges. If, however, you do plan on returning, we would be more then happy to have you back. Please leave me a message on my wikibooks talk page if you have any questions or comments: b:User talk:Whiteknight. -- User:Wknight8111 ( WB:Whiteknight) 18:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Geochachernemesis, long time since you edited here. I hope you've come back to stay.
You are invited to Auckland Meetup 2 on the afternoon of Saturday February 10th 2007 at Galbraith's Ale House in Mt Eden. Please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland 2 for details. You can also bookmark Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland to be informed of future NZ meetups. - gadfium 07:45, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Donovan - I heard you were back and finishing up your PhD - good luck! I also hear you got a surprise free trip to Cyprus last year! Grutness... wha? 09:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 20:47, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Robert Lawson (architect) has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. SilkTork * SilkyTalk 09:25, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.
Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Geocachernemesis. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Geocachernemesis~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.
Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) ( talk)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia
arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose
site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on
the voting page. For the Election committee,

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
