Agenda and Notes from Meeting
1.Introduction to meet up by organisers (if there are any newbies joining us)
2.Round table for participants to say what you’re working on
Jon (
talk) added some stuff to Wikidata for the
WP: WikiProject New Zealand/New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject. NZ Best Design Awards, and its purple, gold and black pins, which are ready for you to attach to people, buildings, etc. Also brushed up the NZIA awards and added the named awards. Added NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction) but haven't added their annual awards yet.
Marshelec has created two new articles for the
WP: WikiProject New Zealand/New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject. These are for
Lucy Greenish and
Dorothy Wills who were the first and second women to become Registered Architects in New Zealand (although 20 years apart !). Also created a new article on a local topic:
Pariwhero / Red Rocks, although there is scope for further expansion. Marshelec has also been active as a reviewer for
Articles for Creation. His AFCR stats since mid-April are: 6 Accepted, 18 Declined. One of the accepted articles is for a Chinese-born New Zealand orchestral conductor
Tianyi Lu. Another is the
Waiwhetu Aquifer (created by
User:Wainuiomartian). It was great to be part of getting these articles published. Other work for WANZ has included development of some policies, and contributions to the 2023-24 General Support Grant application. Currently developing plans for a low key Wikipedia Open Day to be held at Wadestown Library during the forthcoming
1lib1ref campaign.
Noracrentiss (
talk) More sleuthing to find full names for Contributors to Transactions and Proceedings of the New Zealand Institute where only the contributor's initial is given. Plus through a family contact, got information about the Women + Architecture Editathon published in the newsletter of the Wellington branch of the National Women in Construction Association. Thinking about doing a follow-up item after the Editathon for this newsletter which is always looking for copy.
Ambrosia10 (
talk) 21:23, 12 May 2023 (UTC) has been doing Wellington on a Plate and used the opportunity to give
Kristen Kish as new profile image. Have been working on SPNHC2023 presentations. Will be submitting slides for both presentations this weekend. Attended the Te Papa #1Lib1Ref event which was a day full of fun. Have been working on my normal projects of Women Genera - we're still writing papers, and Hidden Figures - where we've just submitted the introduction module for feedback. The ORCID module should be ready for submission next week. Have expanded a couple of moth articles. And have also been doing Wiki gardening, Mix'n'matching, Te Papa botany folk linking etc. Had a meetup with the National Museums Edinburgh geoscience specialist Rachel Walcott to talk scientific minerals and a project she is considering doing.reply
Einebillion (

Quilt Phase - taking photos of structures and buildings etc in Wellington and adding to Wikicommons and adding them to Wikidata.
Einebillion - admin work for Wikimedia Aotearoa NZ & #1Lib1Ref
Gertrude206 - Wikipedia articles, Wikidata and Wikicommons as needed. Tidied up stuff on the World of Wearable Art - biography of new owner, expanded on the building - old Wellington Show Buildings. Article to be written on disambiguating these buildings due to name changes to buildings and organisations. Saw short film about photographer Jos Divis - another bio to write for her.
Wainuiomartian working on an aquifer article and has recently published on them and is now looking for another project.
Turnagra Tend to focus on Wikipedia, Wikidata a little and wikicommons via Wikishootme - got good article status on
Taiari / Chalky Inlet. Blue Smoke article first song recorded in NZ. Half a dozen articles sitting until publishing on Wiki. Update Marine Reserve article needs updating. National Parks need work and is preparing to do this.
Sameeenz early stage of Wiki journey - different areas and interests. Cataloguing librarian and excited about Wikidata. Working on getting NZ libraries into Wikidata.

Wikipedia:GLAM/Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa/Workplan. Hopeful that this event will create some momentum at the museum for getting staff involved in wiki work with fortnightly informal lunch meetups scheduled. Have completed several disambiguations of botanical collectors in Te Papa’s database, linking them to wikidata items (creating/editing these where necessary), as well as linking/creating scientific papers & scientific authors in wikidata.reply

6.Wiki News - add any news from the wider Wiki movement the group may be unaware of
Just letting folk know that the Wellington City Archives have placed about 38,000 images into DigitalNZ. See this
news release as well as the
Wellington City Archives category in DigitalNZ. If the images aren't in the public domain they are often license CC-BY and they are a great resource for images of Wellington. -

The April GLAMwiki newsletter has just been published - see
this link. Ambrosia10 particularly liked the information on Oceania GLAM project being undertaken by an editor in the UK as well as the Indonesian structured data marathon event for Indonesian images in Wikicommons. Great idea for a possible event that is something different from the normal writing Wikipedia articles. -
