It's wrong map[edit]

It's article about Australia but showing New Zealand map. Paweł K (talk) 11:43, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Create New Page for Convoy 2022[edit]

Just wondering if it is a good idea to have a new page created for the Convoy 2022 protest? Seems like there is substantial material for a new article, extensive coverage by media, been the topic of discussion during questions for many politicians, and perhaps one of the biggest and longest protest to occur at Parliament for many, many years. --Lord A.Nelson (talk) 21:05, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think this has become sufficiently notable to split off a new article, and then cut back the coverage in this article to a paragraph or two, possibly using transclusion of the new article's lead section.

I have just created the page here. I have also shortened the Convoy 2022 NZ section to a paragraphs length to cover the initial convoy, the meeting of protesters at Wellington, the inspiration (Canadian Freedom Convoy 2022), and reasons for the protest. Let me know what you think, please. Thank you! --Lord A.Nelson (talk) 11:36, 12 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Scope[edit]

I note the article title has "anti-lockdown" in it. Government decided several months ago that we won’t do lockdowns any more so that’s not what is being protested about. Just saying that we might want to think about the article's scope or its title. Schwede 66 17:03, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a small change to the lead to mention anti-mandate protests. I have no objection in principle to a name change for the article, but changing "anti-lockdown" to "anti-lockdown and anti-mandate" seems too wordy. Perhaps just COVID-19 protests in New Zealand. See Category:Protests over responses to the COVID-19 pandemic for the name of analogous articles for other countries.-gadfium 22:38, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gadfium, that would seem a better title. Schwede 66 23:13, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
