This video conferencing meetup is a replacement for an in-person meetup. While attending and remaining anonymous is supported by the group, lurking is not supported and will be actively discouraged. All attendees are expected to use their User name as an identifier on the video conference call and to introduce themselves and their interest in joining the call on the chat channel of the call as a minimum. Participation using video and / or voice in addition to Chat is encouraged but not required.
Some members of the group have been the target of cyber bullying in the past and these measures are intended to support creating a safe space for collaboration.
If a new attendee joins the group with video and voice disabled, they will be encouraged to participate by the facilitator, using this script:
If, after an appropriate length of time, the new attendee does not participate by video, voice, or chat, the facilitator of the group will remove the attendee from the video call.
If the new attendee persists in logging in, the group will discuss abandoning the meet up.
The Jitsi video conferencing platform has a chat feature. This is used to share URLs and other commentary while the discussions are occurring. The facilitators may take a copy to help with writing up outcomes from the meeting on the meeting Wikipedia page. Any copies will be deleted once outcomes and notes are completed.
This is a monthly event running every 4 weeks, but double check the Aotearoa New Zealand Online page to confirm.

A group is getting together weekly to write a wikipedia species article via iNaturalist. Andra does the iNaturalist wikipedia article set up. The rest of the group do all the interlinking, write the article and upload images etc in an hour.
Was interested in the groups views on citation in Wikipedia. Realitylink prefers tidy citations and uses a Reference template to create a citation table. MargaretRDonald recommended used Cite Q as this generates citations directly from Wikidata. The citation is therefore fully linked and can be updated easily across all articles if there is an issue. It’s a way of improving Wikidata as well as entering your citations in Wikidata will help other areas of research. The Cite Q template and examples can be found here /info/en/?search=Template:Cite_Q
If you want to add in exact pates then it’s quite easy. Example {cite Q\Q12345|pages=35}} Realitylink expressed uncertainty as wasn’t familiar with Wikidata. Was encouraged by group to keep going with current workflow as there was plenty of time to learn that other platform.
Two weeks into job as Digital Discovery Librarian at Hokitika. West Coast Taskforce created of mostly new editors. Encouraged others from around the country to contribute. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_New_Zealand/West_Coast_task_force
Lots of projects are being considered. Will need to prioritise them. e.g. West Coasts Artist’s collaboration in Greymouth. Graham photographic collection from museum into Wikicommons. Charlie Douglas explorer maps and diaries to be scanned and transcribed via Wikisource. Copyright expired and long out of print books sitting in a cabinet that would be good to have scanned and OCRed. David Nind suggested looking at these links for information on OCR and the latest from the Internet Archive https://twitter.com/internetarchive/status/1331049527718027266 and https://blog.archive.org/2020/11/23/foss-wins-again-free-and-open-source-communities-comes-through-on-19th-century-newspapers-and-books-and-periodicals/
