Agenda items

• Round the table – what's everyone up to?
• Is it plagiarism? Should one be flattered or flummoxed to find a non-WP website appears to have copied a WP article virtually word for word. Case in point: PeoplePill’s bio on Jane Soons. Can’t add external link because PeoplePIll is registered on Wikipedia's blacklist and Wikipedia:Mirrors_and_forks

Outcomes

• Discussed the agenda item above
• Looked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New Zealand/heritage and played around with the queries (DrThneed noticed it :-) )
• Briefly talked about the 2021 Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand convention set for 20-21 March in Hokitika

Next event/keeping in touch

• How is everyone placed for Tuesday, 9 February? Same venue (that was good!)? Schwede66 20:08, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
