- ALT1 ... that Selwyn in New Zealand, which celebrates its 150th birthday this month, was planned for 2,000 residents, but was depopulated by flooding and now has many ruined buildings (ruins pictured)?
Expansion length & date, QPQ and image rights all fine, AGF for offline sources. Suggest running with image and ALT1 during September as requested by the nominator - Basement12 (T.C) 21:07, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

- I think we can cope with changing one word. Still good to go with ALT2 and the image - Basement12 (T.C) 21:49, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
