The Meeting

Want to meet a Friendly Face first?

Round table for participants to say what you’re working on

[edit]
  • Together with User:Ambrosia10 and User:Noracrentiss we successfully completed day 2 of our two day NZ species edit-a-thon at Ōtari-Wilton's Bush on 2 November. We are currently writing up our final report and will share once it's complete. We considered our event to be very successful and got positive feedback from the attendees. I was able to edit Wikipedia pages for NZ plants Azorella polaris, Gunnera hamiltonii and Pachycladon exile as part of this event. I also have extensively edited the Wikipedia pages for Nancy Adams and R. Natalie P. Goodall, and created a page for Helen Margaret Druce, all women botanists. In Wikidata I've done the usual - hundreds of edits for scientific papers and scientists that complement the above Wikipedia page edits, as well as others that catch my eye in electronic Table of Contents for journals that constantly come into my email inbox...

Outstanding Action Points to Progress

[edit]


Good Article / Featured Article Work

[edit]
  • Group is planning to work on Wellington Botanic Garden article. User:Wainuiomartian has substantially expanded the article and added photos. Anybody have any ideas for further improvement? A picture of the Henry Moore sculpture?

Future events

[edit]
If you're an event organiser, don't forget to add your event as a program to the Campaign Dashboard July 2024 - June 2025. The Dashboard is a key tracking tool for reporting back to Wikimedia Foundation and will help us ensure that we get funding in future years. If you are unsure how to add programs to the Campaign dashboard you can find further information here on how to create a new event dashboard and how to link it to the overall campaign dashboard. Alternatively contact: Ambrosia10 (talk) on her talk page for help.
If you're interested in organising a Wiki event, Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand (WANZ) provides support funding. Contact admin @ wikimedia.nz for more information on how to apply. It's really simple - we promise!

Content Projects that need help

[edit]
Project Contacts: DrThneed
  • Content: WikiProject New Zealand Women Photographers - A WANZ funded project being implemented at Te Papa by a group of Te Papa editors. Others welcome to join us. It builds on the research dataset released openly on data.govt.nz and the book Through Shaded Glass: Women and Photography in Aotearoa New zealand 1860 - 1960 published by Te Papa Press.

Anyone know of or organising any other events or content projects? Note here to let the group know.


Wiki News - add any news from the wider Wiki movement the group may be unaware of

[edit]
  • GLAMwiki Newsletter: [1] has New Zealand and other information that might be of interest to Wellington editors.
  • Wikimedia Commons structured data - depicts statement. A new script has been created by TiagoLubiana to help those adding depicts statements to Wikimedia commons files. You install it to you Wikimedia Commons common.js page. See Ambrosia10's common.js page here. You add the following line to your common.js page:

importScript('User:TiagoLubiana/hasDepicts.js'); This then installs an on/off box for the tool when you are in a Wikimedia Commons category and when the tool is switched on it will show either a green or red dot beneath each file in a particular category showing you which files have depicts statements.
