The FindingGLAM page

Hi Ratso, I'm trying to find the FindingGLAM Challenge page that you had on the screen the other night at the meet-up, and for some reason I can't find it, no matter what I search, either on-wiki or off! Can you point me in the right direction? TIA! MurielMary (talk) 22:17, 11 February 2020 (UTC) → See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FindingGLAMs Ratso56 (talk) 22:24, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, on Wikimedia! I didn't look there! Thanks. MurielMary (talk) 01:54, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ratso, just wanted to let you know that I've set a date with the Chch Art Gallery to have an editathon there - they have a great archive of artists' files which are fabulous resources to use! It'll be 1pm to 4pm on Saturday 9th. I'm thinking of a theme that might be appealing to new editors and then I'll get some social media promotion/comms out about it. Just wanted to give you a heads-up in advance! MurielMary (talk) 10:58, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Next Chch meetup

Kia ora, just leaving you a note regarding the next Christchurch WP meetup - Tuesday 14 July, 7pm at Smash Palace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Christchurch/11 Hope to see you there! MurielMary (talk) 12:24, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • MurielMary Thanks for note. Hope to make it but unsure just now. Did the Chch Art Gallery event get rescheduled?
Not yet, but it's on my list to go back to them and request a new date. Do you have any thoughts on what we could focus on in an event there? MurielMary (talk) 22:56, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
MurielMary Won't be there tonight (school holidays). Re Chch Art Gallery, I'd be interested in getting entries in Wikidata to match the Find NZ Artists dataset.
Hi, FYI the next meetup is Tuesday 11th, 7.15pm at Smash Palace. MurielMary (talk) 00:00, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Make that 18 August; time and place to be determined. Schwede66 01:31, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Interested, please keep me posted Ratso56 (talk) 01:54, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
FYI, next meetup is Tuesday 8th, same place, same time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Christchurch/13 MurielMary (talk) 10:42, 2 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

Golden Bay Air are holding some seats for us until 21 November

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Christchurch Wikipedia Meetups

banner for Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large showing four Christchurch scenes

Kia ora! For the first half of 2024 I'm the Aotearoa Wikipedian-at-Large, based in Christchurch and funded by a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand. As part of the project I'm running regular meetups in Tūranga where local Wikipedians can meet, chat, help each other out and collaborate on projects. I'll also be organising edit-a-thons, wikiblitzes, and training for new editors. The goal is to grow the editor community in Christchurch and convince local institutions that Wikipedia is worth taking seriously.

We're having an initlal coffee in Foundation Cafe on Sunday 18 February to talk about what Christchurch Wikipedians might like to do; come along if you're free, or drop me a line at mike@rove.wiki if you have ideas or suggestions.

  • Initial meetup: Sunday 18 February, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga

We'll be holding a Christchurch meetup every 4 weeks, modelled on the successful Wellington monthly meetups that have been a big part of growing the Wikimedia community in Wellington and New Zealand. These will be both a coffee chat and a chance for collaborative work in the library's 4th floor workspace. The first two will be:

  • Sunday 17 March, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)
  • Sunday 14 April, 10:00–12:00, Foundation Cafe, Tūranga (Event page)

You can keep track of upcoming events at the Aotearoa Wikipedian at Large Event page, see monthly reports at This Month In GLAM (e.g. January 2024), and join the monthly Aotearoa online meetup. —Giantflightlessbirds (talk)
