Neutrality of article for Phil Mauger (mayor of Christchurch)
[edit]Kia ora, I've made some efforts to improve the neutrality of the article for the current mayor of Christchurch. This had previously been correctly tagged as non-neutral, and I agree with the editor that tagged it that it "read like a political hit-job". To be clear I am not a fan of the man politically but even I thought it was over-the-top. The non-neutral content was added by an IP editor.
Could other editors please take a look at the article in its current state and weigh in on the talk page? Ideally it would be good to get contributors from outside Christchurch with no strong opinions on him as a political figure. Thanks. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 20:32, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- Still suffers from the issues most political BLPs suffer from, which is primary sourcing used to add content and a timeline/news type prose. But it is much better than what it was before. I wouldn't even mention the trench thing but he did get fined for it, but really that's a reflection on the Council more than him. Traumnovelle (talk) 20:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- In my view, the trench thing resulted in a great deal of support by voters for him. Schwede66 21:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- It is possible, a lot of people will interpret it as an overzealous council exerting power for someone solving a problem they should have dealt with themselves. Although a source stating that would be ideal. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
- In my view, the trench thing resulted in a great deal of support by voters for him. Schwede66 21:05, 1 September 2024 (UTC)
COVID-19 coverage
[edit]Hi everyone, I have been working on the Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand page for the past four years and eight months. I am thinking of ending my work on the COVID timeline at the end of December 2024. New Zealand health authorities no longer treat COVID-19 as a pandemic and have ended all lockdown and vaccine mandate policies. Wikipedia no longer has a global timeline. I'll continue covering the Royal Commission of Inquiry into COVID-19 Lessons Learned since it is ongoing and there is sufficient media coverage. Let me know what you think. Andykatib (talk) 07:33, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah I think that is a good idea. To be honest with you, looking at the 2024 timeline, it appears that it could have already ended in December 2023 as it is pretty much only case numbers now, as opposed to government response or something like that. ―Panamitsu (talk) 07:53, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- The pandemic's still going on [1] - it's just that the government has given up on taking any serious action against it. Daveosaurus (talk) 08:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- 19 deaths per week is on par with diabetes mellitus, it is endemic now and aside from the RNZ primary reporting there is no real coverage of it anymore to warrant continued updates/timelines. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:06, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- The pandemic's still going on [1] - it's just that the government has given up on taking any serious action against it. Daveosaurus (talk) 08:00, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Whatever is decided here, one thing is for sure: you've done an amazing job, Andykatib. Well done! Schwede66 09:12, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Seconded, this is an amazing display of consistency in editing.
- I think its ok to retire this series. As you say, for better or for worse it seems society is moving on. David Palmer//cloventt (talk) 09:19, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks everyone for your feedback. Will continue until 31 December and then wrap up after that. Only four more months before the end of the year. Cheers. Andykatib (talk) 14:02, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
