Talk:Geography of New Zealand

message: The currently this article states that New Zealand has a water area of 10 sq km. This is obviously wrong as Lake Taupo alone is 616 sq km.  And given all the other lakes and rivers it would be several thousand, maybe even 10,000 sq km. However I have yet to find an answer which seems right.  A past edition of the CIA world factbook seems to have got it wrong and a lot of people have copied this wrong result.  So I have removed it only leaving the total area. -- Popsracer 22:33, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The article contains a bit of content about "antipoides" that is sourced to some blog or other non-WP:RS source. I've made a couple of edits to reduce this, but have been reverted by a user who thinks that basically the material is relevant or something like that and has been there awhile so shouldn't be removed. I feel that the content is excessive and not really relevant to the geography of New Zealand. And as it is poorly sourced, it should be removed or cut back a bit. So please explain how "the specific point on the other side of the earth" is relevant here. To me, it is simply irrelevant trivia and without some good source to explain its relevance it should be chopped. Thanks, Vsmith (talk) 01:36, 19 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that section falls under WP:TRIVIA. It might be out of place on a brief summary of New Zealand geography, but the breadth of this article allows for some side discussion about certain points of interest, such as, in this case, New Zealand's antipodes. After all, New Zealand is a noted to be a geographically isolated country, so its antipodes are noteworthy. I agree that one of the sources could be better; I would not object to removing that one. I have removed any references to particular cities, which I do think is too in-depth. --Hazhk (talk) 18:54, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I want to move this section into the Physical Geography Overview section and tidy it up a bit. It is interesting but can be better integrated into the page (Dushan Jugum (talk) 02:58, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
