An introduction to editing Wikipedia on Saturday 4 March organised by Kasi Valu and run by Lisa Maule ( Pakoire ( talk)).
Wikipedia is an online source of encyclopedic information that when well-done weaves together strands of intersecting people, events, organisations and ideas. The arts sector of Aotearoa is particularly networked due our our relatively small size and mobility. This introduction will help complete newcomers make their first Wikipedia edit and learn about the culture of Wikipedia's crowd-sourced online platform within the context of our Mana Moana artists.

Find a redlink in an article on a topic that is of interest to you and create a draft article by clicking on the redlink (and then researching etc!).
Using an article that needs improving check if there is any more to add from the existing references.
Use your sandbox
A conference where you can meet a range of other Wikipedia folk of varying experience
Regular meetings with people who can answer your questions - including all the stuff you forgot
The guideline for the naming of articles is the most commonly used version in sources. Also check how the artist likes their name to be represented and when searching - search for variations.
It's not ok to write about yourself, your employers or your whānau because you will have a bias, this seems tricky if you are a practicing artist writing about the arts but not impossible. Ask Pakoire or Kasi for advice! More: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
