Hi. My name is Tom van Bodegraven. I have recently moved to Christchurch but will still help guide this great Wairarapa Wiki project.
I created this Wiki on 12/04/07, and hope it will be a success.
It can of course only become a success if people help with this project. Think Wikipedia. This Wairarapa Wiki is a non-profit community project. This means we need Wiki Volunteers.
Outside work hours I enjoy playing
Petanque, or play my
Davy Stuart Mandolin. I love the game of Go at our
Masterton Go Club. I also enjoy
Kite Flying.

2007-04-25 14:32:14 Hey Tomvan, I noticed you uploaded a picture of a map on a page, so I just wanted to let you know (in case you didn't yet) that you can actually plot wiki pages on a map. See
Help with Maps for more information!
Happy wiki'ing! —PhilipNeustrom
2007-05-09 07:35:15 Thanks for that Philip. I am now using the maps from Google - this is really fantastic!!

2007-05-11 13:42:57 Hey Tomvan, you should add wairarapa to the
Wiki Directory, if/when you're ready. —PhilipNeustrom
2007-05-28 09:20:37 Hi Tom, Thanks for that. I have made some changes and it was extremely easy, cheers! I have used our goggles for skiing and found them very good except in complete white-out conditions, only the kids thought I looked stupid! Maybe in the future will look at a customised ski goggle with the mesh? —222.155.92.213
2007-10-06 18:09:33 Hello, Tom! I'm the newcomer tinkering with the NZGS website. I think Corrin has recently changed most of the page names, because links with "mediawiki/" in them no longer work. You could amend your Go Club link accordingly. Find me at
http://go.org.nz/index.php?title=User:Robin_Patterson - and
contribute a bit more if possible. —RobinPatterson
2007-10-10 14:44:58 Hi Robin, Thanks for letting me know about the New Zealand Go URL change. Yep, will contribute a bit more on Go Wiki —TomvanBodgraven

2008-09-30 03:02:51 Hi Tom, I just added info about my new website www.wainotgogreen.org to this WIKI but the name is not appearing at the top. Can you help? I have put it under the eco-tourism heading....thanks! Janine —90.200.187.76

2008-10-08 06:33:29 hi tom, thx for you help with the Wai Not Go Green pages (i think it was you?!) i have mucked it up a little today sorry didn't know what i was doing learning slowly. had to put my own image on as i accidently deleted the one that was there, though i liked yours better!. also 'name' appears on the front page under 'conservation' subtitle 'organisation' instead of wai not go green. how do i add my name to multiple directories? e.g organics as well as organisations Thx so much,
Janine —JanineOgg
