Betty Guard

[edit]

First of all, welcome to Wikipedia! It's wonderful to see a new editor in the NZ women/history/arts space. And I see you're one of the Auckland museum summer students, which is an awesome initiative. Yay. :)

I really appreciated your additions to Betty Guard (and I want to read the book you've cited!). I just wanted to check a couple of them with you that I couldn't quite follow. They're both in the paragraph starting with "This case became a cause célèbre in the contemporary press" under the 1834 kidnapping heading. I've tagged the relevant sentences, and wondered if you could take a look? The first one is that I'm not sure who is meant by "would-be rescuers", and the second one it's the phrase "motivations they would benefit from in future" that I'm not sure about.

Hope that makes sense, and again, welcome! Chocmilk03 (talk) 20:56, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thank you for your message. I'll take a clarify those things for you :) Avawatson03 (talk) 21:27, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have just made some changes to those two points. The one regarding the "motivations" for the captors isn't clarified within my source in any detail other than claiming there were "rewards" in place, therefore if the point still reads too vague it will be best to remove it from the article.

That makes much more sense, thank you! I think I get it, it makes sense that she would have expected there to be some sort of reward available for her safe return and that she would have used her knowledge of te reo to remind her captors of this. :) Cheers, Chocmilk03 (talk) 22:57, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The article you created: Mick Pendergrast has been accepted

[edit]

Congratulations. The article you created: Mick Pendergrast has been accepted. Good work. You may wish to use the revision history to review the minor matters that I addressed prior to accepting the article. One point that must still be addressed is the need for citations for date of birth and death. These could be provided in the Infobox, but are more commonly provided in the text. Citations for birth and death date are essential for biography articles._Marshelec (talk) 04:02, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
