Talk:Tauranga

message: The tinyurl.com URL referenced in the section about Tauranga's city status doesn't seem to lead anywhere relevant?  Can someone familiar with the topic fix it, (or if not possible, remove it completely) ? -- Chuq 12:30, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: At present, this section lists only three religious schools. Could someone please list the more prominent secondary schools and technical institutes to give the section some balance.

message: The page needs an image.  I've found one already on Wikipedia: :Image:MountMaunganui_Panorama.jpg  I will leave it upto someone else to include it, if its appropriate for this page.--Konstable 11:37, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think Mount Maunganui is really appropriate as an image for Tauranga. It's a separate place. We have more photos at Mount Mauao by the way.-gadfium 05:16, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

message: This section contains references to the Gold Coast, assertions regarding retail earnings, demographics for population growth and colloquial references to wages that are all biased and appear inaccurate.  Most of this section should be deleted.  I would encourage anyone with credible information on this city to please create a suitable replacement.  I have not lived in Tauranga for many years, but do not believe that the article (as it stands) reflects well upon this fine city.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.74.208.32 (talk) 03:53, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Quote: Tauranga is one of New Zealand's main centers for business, international trade, culture, fashion, horticultural science, education and entertainment. It is home to renowned institutions covering a broad range of professional and cultural fields, and is one of the most substantial economic places, with the largest port in New Zealand, the Port of Tauranga.
All of this comes as a surprise to me. I am a Wellingtonian and I don't live in Tauranga, but it tends to be perceived as something of a backwater (and a bit red-necked) and i've certainly never heard it described as a main centre for culture or education or entertainment, etc, however it is associated strongly with the New Zealand First political party in the perception of other parts of NZ. Is it really NZ's largest port? - Wow, i'm not sure other people in NZ realise this. It is larger by what measure? Surely the port of Auckland is busier. Please also give us some indication of which renowned institutions it is home to.
I may simply be suffering from big city narcissism, so could the author of that paragraph cite these claims to remove doubt. I do wonder whether this article may be a spin-job by someone attempting to promote rather than report on Tauranga. 121.73.7.84 (talk) 09:38, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, I have recently created a brief new article Baycourt Community and Arts Centre. It would be great to improve this article with a decent photo of the building, and ideally one inside the Addison Theatre (like this one): . Do you know of anyone who could be asked to take some photos and upload them to Commons ?  As a general observation, it seems that Tauranga may be somewhat under-served in terms of the scope and quality of articles (and photos), when you consider the relatively large population. Perhaps we need to organise a wiki-blitz for the city and its environs ??. Any suggestions for who could be approached to organise this ? Marshelec (talk) 07:54, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
