MODERATION OF COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTIONS 

On most media (image, sound, video, interactive) pages and selected topic pages you will find an area beneath the main content where you can contribute more information or personal stories relating to the content.

Please note - these contributions are moderated and must be on-topic and not abusive. They may be edited for length and clarity. Not all comments will be posted.

Submissions should be not longer than 1000 characters (about 200 words). Feel free to email us - info@nzhistory.net.nz - if you would like to write more than this.

Our moderators will sometimes change spelling or grammar so everyone can understand a submission. It would be appreciated if you could run your community contributions through a spell checker to speed up the posting process!

We will endeavour to turn around moderation requests in as short a time as possible. In general there is likely to be a longer delay on weekends, holidays and after core business hours during the week.
