Talk:Invercargill

message: I know nothing about Invercargill and do not want to edit this page. I notice that it has received many edits by Swollib, who at about the same time was elsewhere perpetrating both blatant vandalism and more insidious vandalism, always with innocuous edit summaries. Please check the accuracy of what's in this page. Thanks. -- Hoary 06:32, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. There has been additions to the "schools" section, but it seems OK. I don't know much about the schools in Invercargill, though. Wallie 12:49, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Vandalism warning

message: I suggest that this list be limited to people who have a Wikipedia article about them ie, no red-linked names should be allowed. This is the criteria we use for lists of alumni of various schools, people born on each day of the year, etc. Alternatively, we could simply link to :Category:People from Invercargill. This would remove the duplication, but the list does allow for a brief explanation of why the person is notable, which may be helpful to readers.-gadfium 22:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree, on just linking to people with real articles option. - SimonLyall 22:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Famous Invercargillites

message: I have replaced the picture of the water tower with one that shows the tower more clearly.
Perhaps instead of the tower, a picture of Invercargill City would be more appropriate?
I have a picture of the main CBD here: http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/1171/img2438nw3.jpg Willuknight 04:01, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That picture would be most welcome. There's room for more than one photo in the article.-gadfium 04:06, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

text: The problem with external photo sites is that there are probably hundreds of them for any given location with a tourist industry. I certainly don't want to have so many external links in the article, and I also don't want to be in the position of saying to a contributor that we won't take their photo site but we take someone else's, because I think the other photos are better. If you readd this url, I won't remove it again, but someone else might.-gadfium 04:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Don't replace it but put it in as well, Invercargill has some cool buildings/sights (Museum, Andersons park, some of the buildings in the cresent, the round about at the corner of dee and tay, queens park botanical gardens, first church, that umbrella thing, Railway Hotel) if you've got a camera and live in Invers go round town and take some photos (try for a decent shot of the water tower too) and add them to the page as well.Mr Bungle 08:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Seeing as no one has mentioned anything, i will readd the url to local photos to the page. Willuknight 22:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The page could handle 4-5 pictures, look at Dunedin, Christchurch, Auckland just make them smallish and organise them throughout the page (the intro is too long and needs to be spilt up, pictures could then be added beside relevant text) Mr Bungle 11:36, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I plan to make a trip out to queens park, and take some photos of that plus the musuem, so one of those could go there i suppose. Does anyone have advice about what pictures would be good to include in the article ? I agree that the water tower picture doesn't really fit.Willuknight 10:35, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I would like to include a section about Invercargill Landmarks. Willuknight 22:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Landmarks

message: I've put a new map showing the Territorial Authority rather than the old one... The new map only shows the South Island, however... Any objections?
:Looks good.-gadfium 22:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah i noticed that. I think the old one was better in terms of giving context of New Zealand. Better for overseas visitors? What do other city pages use?Willuknight 10:51, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Map 

message: Maybe with a nice one of it taken from Queens Park or something. On an unrelated note perhaps mention should be given to the tour of Southland, considering the SBS invitational gets a mention (I guess if you're a golfer you'd know it but it's not commonly known like the Tour of Southland is). I don't know enough about either to write something about it though —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 125.238.10.88 (talk) 14:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  someone replace the water tower pic 

message: Sorry, but I've been there, and it's not. The only difference is that the people there pronounce the two "r"s in a word such as "farmer", instead of pronouncing it "fahmah". They don't roll them though. See rhoticism.--MacRusgail 17:15, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: "Inver", as in "Inverness"; "car", as in motor vehicle; and "gill", as in the breathing apparatus of a fish. Slight emphasis on the first and third syllables. Daveosaurus (talk) 10:35, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
