Einebillion has been working in wikidata on pioneer land surveyors of New Zealand.
MargaretRDonald has been using CiteQ to reference journals from Wikidata in Wikipedia. Has been using CiteQ instead of the standard citatation format despite it not being quite the right format for the crediting. MargaretRDonald prefers the automatic nature of CiteQ and the linked data possibilities it provides. Has been disappointed about the response from the Australian Biota people to using CiteQ see /info/en/?search=User_talk:MargaretRDonald#Cite_Q and /info/en/?search=User_talk:MargaretRDonald#Please_stop_adding_Template_Cite_Q_when_t_violates _WP:CITEVAR A lot of people don’t understand the benefits of automation. Has also been using tabernacle and has completed Wiki Loves Earth judging. The South American photography was superb but some did not have names of animals and plants depicted.
David Nind has been updating wikidata for new wikipedia articles. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104629573 Also added wikidata item and category for Fellows of the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q99763922 and /info/en/?search=Category:Fellows_of_the_New_Zealand_Institute_of_Chemistry
Oronsay has accepted DrThneed’s calls to get into a New Zealand women professor list creating 16 stubs in less than a week. Has also been working on the Archibald Prize finalists as well as normal workflows.
DrThneed Stuart Yeates had been working on biographies of New Zealand women professors but no longer has time so has been picking this up. The workflow has been to set them up in wikidata to create a red list. MurialMary suggested adding the list into the Women in Red project space. /info/en/?search=User:DrThneed/Female_professors_in_New_Zealand Workflow is adding each person into Wikidata including references, then finding phd thesis reference online, then citations, using CiteQ to cite, then creating stubs. Also has been working on updating New Year’s Honours people into Wikidata. Has been continuing to do wikidata training videos as well. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWsWeF08cAV9zH_e-TbPBiw

Noracrentiss lauded DrThneed’s video on Mix’n’Match https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE9ZvwYCNnQ and how much fun the competitive leaderboard is. Very satisfying to do a bit when you have a spare 10 minutes.
Pakoire has been working on random wikipedia articles including updating wikidata and wikicommons items associated with the article. Has also working on Maori Women weavers and is looking forward to the editathon on 7th January. Is planning on getting a stack of library books to help out. Has a backlog of photos to load to Wikimedia Commons. Has been working on a funding application to Creative NZ to deliver a project on NZ theatre designers. This project will include a Wikidata and Wikipedia component where research will be added. The project will build partnerships to encourage research and curation. The project will likely have a Wikipedia in Residence element but scoping is still continuing. Other outputs might include a publication and/or exhibition. Group suggested considering applying for funding using the wikipedia grant process. Has also been working on Maori women academics wikidata and wikipedia pages. Kindly agreed to review bios of Māori academics.
Wittylama has been working on the Australian art Archibald Prize including past winners and winning paintings. Most of the paintings aren’t in public collections. Asked for feedback on the Wikipedia citation proposal https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite/Shared_Citations Also asked whether anyone doing anything with the America’s Cup? Can someone in Auckland think about getting a press citation to take photographs?
Einebillion mentioned that there were some editors in Auckland but they aren’t actively involved in meetups or in the Aotearoa User group to date. Group agreed to raise this with others on a variety of channels in the hopes someone decides to pursue it.
Jonathanischoice arrived late. has been working on the Internet New Zealand Wikipedia page and the Graham Sydney page. Discussed adding a Soundz identifier in Mix'n'Match. e.g. https://sounz.org.nz/contributors/1017 David Nind provided an example property https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6683, an example of a page for a property proposal https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Alexander_Turnbull_Library_Name_ID#Alexander_Turnbull_Library_Name_ID and a request page for a property https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Generic
