Thank you for your help with archaeology articles

I noticed your work on Neville Ritchie ↗, the Chatham Island waka ↗, and Nigel Prickett ↗—many thanks! These were all subjects I was hoping to improve as part of the Archaeology Aotearoa project, and that's a big help. If there are other topics in the this small project you're interested in helping with, feel free to add yourself to the list on WP:GLAM/Archaeology Aotearoa ↗. — Giantflightlessbirds (talk) 23:44, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{u|Giantflightlessbirds}} All good, doing an article for Nigel Prickett had been on my radar for a little while anyway since I have used a couple of his works in articles relating to the NZ wars. When I noticed it as a redlink on the Archaeology Aotearoa page I figured now was as good a time as any. I will be looking to do a few more of the redlinks there, makes a change from my normal military history work. P.S. If you are ever in Hamilton, drop me a line. I follow your efforts a bit as you work around the country and it would be good to meet another Wikipedian. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 04:33, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Jim Sheddan and Netherfield?

When wrote that Jim Sheddan ↗ made a forced landing "in Netherfield", which is linked to Woughton#Netherfield ↗ in Milton Keynes ↗. Is that really true? Because this Netherfield didn't exist then (or for another 30 years or so. Can you recheck the source? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 23:35, 29 March 2026 (UTC)
:Thanks for drawing this to my attention. It was indeed Netherfield although not that Netherfield. I probably pipelinked to that one thinking there must have been an airfield in the area in the past. I see that an article to another Netherfield, in East Sussex, has been created since I worked on the Jim Sheddan article and after checking a different source, that looks to be the correct one. I have pipelinked the usage of Netherfield to the one in East Sussex. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 08:19, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
