This is a fortnightly event but double check the Wellington Meetup page to confirm. Join the Wikipedia New Zealand Facebook group to be kept informed. Also see Wikipedia:New Zealand Wikipedians' notice board for discussion relevant to New Zealand Wikipedians.
The Hawke's Bay Digital Archives Trust have set up their site, Knowledge Bank with a default license of CC-BY-NC, for example this nifty image of Te Mata Peak. In summary, two things about this:
Question: is there a way to somehow automatically "mirror" resources onto Wikipedia Commons, given the appropriate license change can be made, or do they need to be (bulk) imported?
Useful links and suggestions:
David showed us the Wayback Machine browser plug-in for archiving and citing web pages ( Internet Archive blog post). Available for Firefox, Safari, Google Chrome.
Gertrude206 reported later a bit of trouble with the plug-in in Safari. After installing it Wikipedia kept logging out when trying to edit. Problem resolved when the plug-in was uninstalled.
Jon ( talk) uses a nifty bookmarklet (a scrap of JavaScript, saved as a bookmark) called WebRef, for Firefox and Chrome, that generates the cite template text you need to paste into your Wikipedia article. There are loads of other nifty citation tools over at Help:Citation_tools.
