message: I don't really see the point of anything in the trivia section. Of course the speed limit would be 100km/h as this is similar to speed limits internationally? Also exits from the fast-lane side of the motorway are quite common overseas so I don't really see why to make such a big deal of the old 'right-lane exit' from Nelson St. Jarbury 05:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Trivia 

message: As I noted in the Auckland page it's not entirely accurate to say that Auckland has a 'very low' urban density. As I said Auckland actually has a higher urban density than any large Australian city except Sydney, and higher than any large Canadian city except Toronto. And it is much higher than most comparable US city. It is only lower in comparison to some European cities (and even then the difference is not that dramatic). See http://www.demographia.com/db-worldua.pdf for data. I edited one paragraph to reflect this, but it might be a little clunky.
In this light I'm not entirely happy with the second paragraph which seems to be suggesting poor public transport in Auckland is primarily a factor of density. When in fact many cities in Australia and Canada have lower densities and much better public transport. For instance Brisbane has less than half the density than Auckland, but an extensive train and bus service. That is not to say that density is not an issue in Auckland, but I think its inaccurate to present it the primary barrier to good public transport in light of this. Perhaps someone can edit the second paragraph to reflect this.

message: I just reverted a large number of expansive good-faith edits. Then I put most of them back in. Why? I hope I did not act too much from a "This is MY baby!" reasoning (though the psychological drive behind editing for half an hour certainly included that) but there were a number of changes, especially moving of text sections into incorrect places, that I disagreed with strongly (and I hope the edit summaries will explain why). I tried to change those back in normal edit steps, but was getting confused and frustrated. So instead I reverted all changes to my last own version, and then step by step re-added all sensible edits, or did not, where I saw reason to differ. Regards to all involved, and I hope I have produced a good compromise, MadMaxDog 08:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:CMJ.jpg

message: I think it is about time to add an article on the Auckland Transport council controlled organisation.  It is going to be a significant group for the city (its budget will make up more than 50% of the whole of Auckland Council's) so I think it deserves the article title "Auckland Transport".  The only issue is that this title is used as an auto-redirect to the Transport in Auckland article.  Are there any objections to moving the redirect/disambiguation into a hatnote?  The alternative is using "Auckland Transport (CCO)" but I think most readers will expect the simpler title once the new council and groups take over. Mister Blume (talk) 08:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

message: The 1919 dating of the first image has bothered me for some time. At far right is the Endeans Building that was built by John Endean in 1905 at the corner of Lower Queen Street and Quay Street. The building was rebuilt after a fire in 1914-15 and still stands, as of 2017-18. To the right of the picture appears to be a vacant lot, where the Chief Post Office/Britomart Transport Centre now stands. The CPO was opened in 1912 on the site. The CPO building is plainly not present. Therefore, this photo appears to have been taken around 1909-10 before construction of the CPO building had started. I think it's entirely erroneous to base the date on a 1919 postcard that may have used a ten-year-old photo.
Just as puzzling is the second image, showing the CPO building in 1911, which appears on the Britomart Transport Centre page. Where is the Endeans Building? Is this photo wrongly dated too? Does it show the CPO after the Endeans fire and the demolition of the ruins, before the rebuild? Akld guy (talk) 20:25, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
