| I heard you on Radio New Zealand today, good work on the outreach. Great to hear people discussing the process and importance of editing on wikimedia projects. Also well done on your articles and all the files you have added. Thanks! — InsertCleverPhraseHere 02:29, 23 July 2017 (UTC) |
- Thank you very much! As you can tell I'm pretty new to Wikipedia so felt quite nervous representing such a vast community of people especially ones with a lot more experience than me. Hope I can spread the word more about what an awesome community this is.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Susan Tol (talk • contribs) 7:12, 23 07 2017 (UTC)
- No worries. You did great. I took your comment about the Treaty of Waitangi pretty seriously. It isn't even a Good Article! I have started a Good Article Review and intend to work on it and hope to eventually get it up to featured status eventually. Also, don't forget to sign your talk page posts with ~~~~ to add your signature. Cheers and happy editing. — InsertCleverPhraseHere 10:04, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
- Awesome! I'm back into my masters so have less time to give to wikipedia but I am stoked you are working on that article! I'll keep my eye on it and contribute what I can. It'd be good to really put my history degree to the test. Thanks Susan Tol (talk) 02:06, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Treaty of Waitangi
[edit]Finally managed it. The Treaty of Waitangi is now listed as a Good Article and will be up on the main page in the Did You Know? section on Waitangi Day. Thanks for inspiring me to work on this article with your interview on Radio New Zealand. Cheers! — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 02:11, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- That is awesome! Congrats on the hard work! Me and other editors are getting ready to submit Kate Sheppard for a review soon, so must be the season for article upgrades!Susan Tol (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed! I don't know when/if I'll ever get ToW up to Featured Article status. Even having read several books on the subject, I feel like I need the help of an expert on the topic to help with the review and to recommend changes and expansion. I might actually contact some university professors and ask them to provide comments on the article and how it can be improved (I might even try to go meet Claudia Orange and get her opinion in person (she is in Wellington after all). — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 04:52, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Margi Robertson
[edit]Hi I wrote a brief article on NZ designer Margi Robertson (NOM*d) for International Women's Day. It is still waiting in AfC for a review.

Wikidata Query for New Zealand Women artists with an English Wikipedia article
[edit]Hi Susan, I've been playing around with SPARQL and created this query for all NZ women artists with a wikipedia article - see https:// tinyurl dot com/ycjgpb9f (I've had to break up the link as Wikipedia wont let me save it as tinyurl appears to be on a blacklist - you'll have take out the space as well as replace the word "dot" with a . I thought it might be of use for your October 6th Editathon if folk aren't sure about what they want to work on.- Ambrosia10 (talk) 20:54, 22 September 2018 (UTC)
- User:Ambrosia10 Thanks so much! That is a big help, I've started making my own google doc but this will add quite a few more names to it. Thanks for your help with the NZ Fashion museum edit-a-thon as well! Susan Tol (talk) 02:41, 25 September 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hi Susan, just dropping you a note here to say hi and see what you're up to with Wiki projects at present! James Taylor from Auckland Museum gave a fascinating presentation today to the Aotearoa NZ User Group's online meeting and he mentioned your name in relation to Women in Red work. I'm also a keen WiR editor (I'm based in Otautahi-Christchurch). Are you still editing on women's biographies? Would you like to join one of the online meetups sometime? The notes from today's meetup are here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Aotearoa_New_Zealand_Online/4 All the best, MM MurielMary (talk) 07:45, 11 October 2020 (UTC)
- Hi MurielMary! Other than the project James mentioned I've sadly been fairly inactive on here in the past couple years. Would love to join a meeting in the future to try and get back to being a little more involved. Susan Tol (talk) 23:42, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for that response Susan! FYI we're currently planning a conference in Feb/March 2021 on the West Coast. There's a survey up now til 18 November to collect feedback and comments: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/K37CY2B MurielMary (talk) 20:53, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
- Sorry I missed the Sunday meet-up when you presented about your recent work. I see from the notes that you are helping out an academic with articles created by her students. If you need a hand with getting them published/tidying them up feel free to let me know, happy to help if needed! MurielMary (talk) 11:30, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Dr Bess Manying Ip
[edit]Hi Susan, I'll reply to your message on the WPNZ page properly but I just saw Dr Bess Manying Ip on your list and wondered if this is the same person as Dr Manying Ip who was awarded a Suffrage Medal in 1993, and whose photo I found among the Royal Society event pics yesterday (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104639103)? It's so nice when we get overlap in our lists! I'll put Bess as an alias in Wikidata if it is the same person. DrThneed (talk) 23:35, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, I have found a source that confirms it https://gg.govt.nz/file/24571 DrThneed (talk) 23:42, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

WikiProject update - Performing Arts Aotearoa
[edit]The project is now two weeks in and the profile of the project is building in the performing arts communities. Editors have created seven new articles in Wikipedia and 291 new and improved entries in Wikidata. These have been tagged in Wikidata to the project using the property p5008 ‘on focus list of Wikimedia project’ – ‘Performing Arts Aotearoa New Zealand.’
Thank you if you have made a contribution already, there will also be lots of other ways to contribute over the coming three and a half months.
The current focus is the Wellington based festival Mau. This weekend Saturday 5th June there is a takeover of the Wellington Meetup with an edit-a-thon focus to Wikify the festival. Kia Mau is an established festival based in Wellington celebrating and promoting “contemporary Māori, Pasifika and international Indigenous live performance experience.” For more information look at the Wellington Meetup page or the Kia Mau Wikiproject Worksheet. Over the next few days resources will be shared, including stubs and links to information. Focusing on this festival will start to address the bias in Wikipedia that means there is low content on indigenous people, plus there are many women involved. Which means you can also add them to the Women in Red projects #1day1woman, some would fit onto the year-long campaign: Women's rights, and some into the June focus Wiki Loves Pride.
Increasing content on women and indigenous people is part of the Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject.
Participating in the Kia Mau editing can be in person or remotely. You can start this week, join for an hour or more on the day, and follow up afterwards also. Any improvements to Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons content will make a difference.
Please let me know if you have any tips or questions to help me help you.
Many thanks, Lisa Maule / Pakoire (talk) 21:50, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
WikiProject update - Performing Arts Aotearoa 20 June
[edit]Many thanks to all who have contributed so far. There are 28 new Wikipedia articles and over 500 new Wikidata entries. The Kia Mau Festival mini edit-a-thon happened with useful learning for me about what seems simple and what is possible. I am proud of the persistence of editors – a much improved article for Audrey Brown-Pereira for example, a new article for The Māori Sidesteps and lots of links from performance UPU to various poets. And many Wikidata entries.
You can now link to the project page through my website (http://www.lisamaule.info). Easier to remember and google-able (Wikiproject Lisa) if you want to direct other people where to look.
Things to do:
• DEEPEN CONTENT: Have a look at the new articles on the project page: User:Pakoire/Performing Arts Aotearoa - Wiki Project. Many can be expanded including with this resource: Theatre Aotearoa database https://tadb.otago.ac.nz/theatre
• LINKABLE ARTICLES: Create articles for a venue, a company or a festival. This will help facilitate biographies being linked to other articles. Suggestions on project page.
• KEEP GOING with your own area. Let me know what you are up to. See my new research google doc (linked on the project page) – feel free to comment if you need something (ask me for permission to edit)
• IMPROVE ANY ARTICLE on any performing arts topic, theatre, dance, venues – feel free to use my suggestions as a starting point and then going where it takes you. Reach out for suggestions in your area of interest, or ideas for research. I am a subject expert which helps with searching, and now have a pool of academics and others who I can ask too.
Examples of articles to get formatting ideas:
• Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival
• New Zealand Festival of the Arts
Very simple stub articles:
DIARY the three in person edit-a-thons now scheduled 10am - 4pm:
Dunedin Saturday 10 July (location tbc) - topic Allen Hall and contemporary companies in Dunedin
Auckland Saturday 14 August (location tbc) - topic Auckland Women in performing arts
Wellington Saturday 21 August (Nola Millar Library, Te Whaea) - topic Toi Whakaari and New Zealand School of Dance alumni
Many thanks – do what you can (might be nothing, might just be one citation) and take care,
Lisa

Add suggested articles to the project pages or get in touch with me. A Women in Red (WIR) August campaign is Indigenous women and there are heaps on my list so if you create or improve these articles be sure to tag WIR on the talk page. Pakoire (talk) 09:19, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
UPDATE
WIKIPEDIA
There are now 31 new Wikipedia articles reported on the project page that include 19 new biographies, 14 of these about women and six are of people of colour (three Māori people). Keep up the good work. Keep seeking out women and people of colour to celebrate through Wikipedia.
WIKIDATA
The targets specified in this project for Wikidata were exceeded within the first week of the project with the concerted efforts of two editors. A Wikidata item was created to track entries. Performing Arts Aotearoa New Zealand (Q106787482).
With claims of ethnicity the policy is to include references from a biography, interview or personal website. Ethnicity of white people is strongly encouraged to be included where this information is available. Māori is listed and then also iwi (tribe/s).
EDIT-A-THON DUNEDIN
The Ōtepoti Dunedin Edit-a-thon was a success. It was at the Hocken Library on Saturday 10 July. The coordinator Pakoire and co-host DrThneed were joined in person by seven others, which included six new editors from the performing arts community, and two people working remotely in Wellington and Christchurch.
The new editors added 27 references to Wikipedia between them and a total of 2,017 words. Comments from new editors after they had learnt the basics and started editing related to how accessible they found doing it. There was motivation amongst many in the group to continue to meet as a way of progressing the articles they are interested in. With the experienced editors overall including Wikidata the edit-a-thon added 48.1K words, 4 commons uploads, 245 references, across 53 articles including 4 new Wikipedia articles and 15 new Wikidata articles.
COI
Conflict of interest (COI) is an area of consideration for editing in performing arts, since most subject experts are also practicing arts and producers. The edit-a-thon / meetup format was useful and people worked on unrelated articles but in tandem with others who knew where to get information.
IMAGES
There is more work to do to create opportunities to upload images to Wikimedia Commons under appropriate licences, as predicted this involves a lot of education with individuals and organisations as well as motivating people to follow through.
Take some pics of a local entertainment venue and upload them. Music venues, amateur arts, town hall, converted theatre, you would be surprised what isn’t there.
SUPPORT
All edits count - reach out if you need help or guidance and many thanks for any contribution you can make.

page / pages parameter
[edit]In citation templates, you need to use the page parameter if you want to refer to a single page, or pages if you refer to more than one page. Hence, pages=19 is wrong. Not a biggie; just so you know. The bigger issue is that I can't see Gee mentioned in the Summer 1986 edition of the Crafts Council Magazine. Has something gone wrong?

- Schwede66 ahh because I accidentally linked to the 1988 publication not the 1986! I have fixed it now and I had added the pages (19-21) that she is mentioned on. Thank you for your all your help with this! I should have published it when I had a bit more time to make all the changes given in peoples feedback but will hopefully be able to get to them soon.
- You're all good. It's not "your article" and thus not "your responsibility"; the whole community can now look after it since it's been published. There are, of course, certain things that only you can do as you've read the offline sources. Schwede66 01:28, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

WikiProject update - Performing Arts Aotearoa 12 May 2022
[edit]A year after the Performing Arts Aotearoa project started and as we are coming into winter (a busier editing time for many) here is an update.
The Performing Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject now lives on the WikiProject New Zealand page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_New_Zealand/Performing_Arts_Aotearoa
I have added new articles created as part of the Pacific Arts Aotearoa Wikiproject. These articles by new editors include Lusi Faiva, Suli Moa, Edith Amituanai and Amanaki Prescott-Faletau, who was interviewed on Radio New Zealand last Sunday. The reporter let me know the article was valuable for the interview research – great feedback for all of us creating and improving content in Wikipedia.
On the project page is highlighted plenty of articles to create or improve. I invite you to have a look and contribute if you can. There are many long-standing festivals in Aotearoa without articles such as the Hawkes Bay Arts Festival, Tauranga Festival of the Arts, Taranaki International Arts Festival, Nelson Arts Festival and the Christchurch Arts Festival. Creating these Wikipedia pages or Wikidata items allows links to biographies and strengthens the weaving of Wikipedia.
Other suggestions for new articles:
- Notable women - Jane Yonge, Amber Cureen, Eleanor Bishop (director)
- Director of the Te Tairāwhiti Arts Festival and musician - Tama Waipara
- Notable theatre companies - Prayas Theatre, The Conch (theatre company), Barbarian Productions
Reach out to me if you want guidance on any aspects of Wikipedia, or a collegial conversation about writing encyclopaedic entries on performing arts. I can set up a zoom, or direct you to places for help.
Please try to remember to add any relevant articles improved or created to the lists on the project page so the impact can be seen. Take your name off the project page if you don’t want to get these sporadic updates. I will keep an eye on new articles and I have an ongoing campaign to get more images uploaded so we can illustrate the articles too. I have resources on Wikimedia Commons if you are interested. Feel free to contact me on my talk page.

[edit]Hi there, Susan Tol, and thanks for adding the Women in Red user tag to your talk page. On the basis of all the biographies you have written on women from New Zealand, it certainly looks as if you should join the project. In order to become a full member, you should follow the instructions under "New registrations" on this page. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:22, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for following up on this, Susan, and welcome to Women in Red. You are obviously an experienced editor but you might nevertheless find it interesting to look through some of our Essays, perhaps starting with our Primer. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 06:42, 16 January 2023 (UTC)
