The goal of the meetup on Saturday, 29 February 2020, is to improve the Wikipedia coverage of the people, publications and companies associated with the media company Stuff.
An Edit-a-thon is an attempt to improve the Wikipedia pages on a particular topic. Led by an experienced Wikipedia editor, participants learn to edit pages, correct mistakes, add references, and upload photos. Complete beginners are welcome; training and troubleshooting is provided. The goal of this meetup is to improve the Wikipedia coverage of the people, publications and companies associated with stuff.co.nz.
If you're coming, try to create a Wikipedia account beforehand! Here's a form you can use. Creating an account makes editing much easier ( more info). You'll need to pick a "handle" for your username; you could use your real name, but it's nicer to have the option to be a bit anonymous if you want.
The topic of the edit-a-thon is the article about Stuff, which covers both the website and the company: Stuff (website). There are a number of newspapers which are part of the company, and they are listed in this navbox. The edit-a-thon could also include articles of people who have a relation to the various newspapers, e.g. editors. Have a think about topics you'd like to work on. If you've got something specific in mind, check out their pages and see if there are obvious mistakes or problems. Maybe even do a little research first so you're prepared. Bring along references for information you want to add. If the topic you're interested in doesn't have a Wikipedia page, we could even create one (help is at hand for that).
If you'd like to work on a newspaper article, have a look at one of the following high-quality articles for content and structure:
For examples of articles on other media companies, have a look at these:
==Conflict of interest statement==
I am employed by [[Stuff (company)|Stuff]] and therefore have a [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest]]. I will therefore not edit articles related to my employer but will instead provide suggested edits via the relevant talk pages.
Add your Wikipedia username if you have one. Tip: you can just type asterisk-space-three tildes (* ~~~)
