Wrong comment??
[edit]New Zealand Herald writer Karl Puschmann called it a design for those "sitting on the fence" who didn't want much change.[76] Members of the public have compared it unfavourably to Weet-Bix packaging, "Kiwi Party Ware" plastic plate packaging, the National Basketball Association logo, or a merger of the Labour and National party logos.[77]
I guess these critics have been expressed regarding the flag before (with red upper left part)...? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.69.58.57 (talk) 16:36, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Front page
[edit]Hey guys, just wanted to ask really nicely if we could restrain from removing what I have written. There wasn't any real need to revert it; I worked very hard, made good citations, and ensured that it would not be too long or too boring. I took time out of my schoolwork to improve it, so I ask you all very nicely to keep it up there as it is. Thank you all.--Leavepuckgackle1998 (talk) 10:25, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
This user initially posted on my talk page, so I responded on his/her talk page, but I'll repeat it here so it doesn't get lost.
Leavepuckgackle1998, I think there has been a misunderstanding. I did not remove your content. I moved it. I had some reservations about the writing (I don't have time to go into those details right now) but I appreciated the additional points and citations. As I mentioned in the edit summary, this content was more suited to the referendums article. Thus, I personally took the liberty of rewriting the content to address these concerns and moving it to that article at the same time. You may notice that the criticism section of the referendum page is now very expanded, includes the citations you added, and contains points familiar to you (e.g. the "national disgrace" quote, discussion of crowdsourcing and the reference to groupthink), just heavily rewritten to fit the existing standards, structure and style. At the end of your message on my talk page, you propose retaining your contribution but making adjustments to address any specific concerns that others may have. This has already happened. Your efforts have been appreciated and not been dismissed nor gone to waste. It has simply been migrated to the page in which it belongs and is not worded in the exact form that you remember it.
