Portal:New Zealand/Previously featured

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of articles, pictures, and facts that have been selected for the New Zealand Wikiportal:

Selected Articles

[edit]

The current week is :
Week 50.

This is a list of current and previous Selected articles.
The current system has 52 abstracts that are automatically rotated.
Crossed-out entries were replaced -- see abstract edit history.

The Featured Article section should showcase of some of the best NZ articles. If you want to replace a FA, here are my recommendations:

  • choose a topic that is NZ specific and at least as notable as the one being replaced (eg. Manuka, Pukeko are not exclusive to NZ; Dave Gallaher seems more noteworthy than Pete Bethune)
  • make sure you include a picture and a good abstract (Keith Holyoake doesn't have a pic, John Key only got a brief sentence)
  • try and keep a balanced mix of people, places, flora, fauna, events
