Rename to Hot springs of New Zealand

I think this article (Waiariki) should be renamed Hot springs of New Zealand, as per WP:NAME: "... article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize ...". Any comments? -- Avenue 03:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Personally I would prefer that a separate page called Hot springs of New Zealand was made, and i may do that soon, but I would like to leave the existing page to be focussed back on it's central meaning; healing hot springs. I think that there is more than enough material for both, i just wanted to get my info here as quick as I could. but as usual i am guided by the comments here, i suspect that there isnt much interest in this yet. I have a bunch mor epics and info to addd to a hot springs article, just challenged for time, moza 05:54, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Your understanding of the original topic wasn't clear to me from the article. For instance, the Uses section lists therapy as only one of eight possible uses. Also when I look up waiariki on various Maori-English dictionaries, they say it means "hot spring", "mineral spring", or just "spring". I haven't found one yet that confines the meaning to healing hot springs.

But if you do want to restrict this article to that topic, I would suggest renaming it to Therapeutic hot springs of New Zealand or something similar, as per WP:NAME. -- Avenue 13:08, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

I am not going to be precious about this at all. I really havent checked it out, just didnt want to tread on the original authors toes. thanks for looking it up and reporting back, I am happy with that. If we need a separtae article it can be made again later so feel free to do what you think is best.moza 12:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Just found this article while searching through hot springs. I was tracking through the article - Hot springs around the world - which has no New Zealand springs in it at all. so I thought I'd do some major adding in there. I could also create a master article Hot Springs in New Zealand and put more details in there. Are there any further thoughts on renaming this article? - Malathos 19:44, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

I'll go ahead and move the article to Hot springs in New Zealand. -- Avenue 08:19, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Craters of the Moon

Suggest removing it AND the picture - they were formed when the Wairakei Geothermal Power Plant was made - the craters casued by the removal of the heated water, so technically not a hot spring!

External link

The External links page states that external links should not normally be placed in the body of an article, as the link in question is a link to a website allowing purchase of a book and not a source easily accessible by anyone it may be in the further reading or external links section, but not in the body.

Additionally as the list is incomplete the incomplete list tag should be kept in the page. Ashlaf (talk) 07:16, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

That's a page on internal links. I don't understand why it has a redirect from external links.

External_links#Advertising_and_conflicts_of_interest says, "Links to potentially revenue-generating web pages are not prohibited" Johnragla (talk) 05:28, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia:External links hopefully this link will work, based on my understanding of the policy links that are not the subject of the page should not be included in the main section of the article, it can still remain within further reading and external links allowing anyone looking for more sources to easily find it Ashlaf (talk) 05:34, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

I searched for 'subject of the page' on that page, but ca't find anything. Where does your "understanding of the policy links that are not the subject of the page should not be included" come from? Johnragla (talk) 05:37, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Point 2 here, Wikipedia:External_links#Important_points_to_remember and here Wikipedia:External_links#Sites_requiring_registration Ashlaf (talk) 05:42, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

It does say there can be exceptions, but I've now checked the edit was done by 'SallyJ90' - see [[1]], who may well be the author of the book. External links does say such edits should be done by another author. Therefore I'll revert my last edit. Johnragla (talk) 06:03, 25 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you, I hadn't noticed that, sorry for any trouble I may have caused you Ashlaf (talk) 06:22, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
