Who's working on it?
Kaikōura
Lead section needs some expansion. Most sections in the body are quite short; both Māori and European history have just a couple of paragraphs, and could be expanded, as could the information on its prehistory and moa bone finds. The number of residents seems to be wrong (it’s ratepayers).
Several recently created articles on topics related to the town can now be linked from this article. The History section needs expanding, especially Māori history. The Geography section needs expanding to describe the setting of the town and some of the major geographic features such as the Lyell Creek, and the overall layout, including the Peninsula and South Bay. Coverage of the marina is needed. A new section on tourism is needed, with coverage of major tourism businesses, attractions and activities. The Economy section needs to have more about the early importance of agriculture and the role of the town as a farming service centre. The Governance section should be expanded with brief mention of the former County, and the change of region from Marlborough to Canterbury (already covered in detail in
Kaikōura District
). A section on notable and historic buildings is needed. The Fyffe historic area, Pier Hotel, and the redevelopment of the wharf area on the north side of the peninsula (Wakatu Quay) are worth covering in this article (rather than the Peninsula article).

improved and better Kaikōura photos used
2016 Kaikōura earthquake
This article currently receives over 38,000 page-views annually, and this warrants efforts to make it as good as it can be.
Doesn't mention the effect on the South Bay boat harbour or the recovery
photos could be moved to illustrate sections relevant to Kaikōura, and more information on the long-term effects of coastal uplift. Content has now been added about the effects on the marina and the restoration. Also headings rearranged, grammar fixes, more on roads (Ohau Point), more on tourists affected have been added
Kaikōura District
The Economy section needs updating.
Economics section has been updated
Kaikōura Peninsula
Needs more content about history of whaling stations,
New Zealand fur seals, and the breeding colony of red-billed gulls,

Purchase of a large block of land on the Peninsula by Ngai Tahu (Whale Watch) needs mentioning.

A proper rewrite and better citations.
Wainuiomartian started on this. So far can only find info on ski resort rather than the mountain itself. Help if you can. (Giantflightlessbirds added some fossil info.)
