Agenda

edit

At the Feb 15 meeting the attendees discussed what could be improved to make the meetups more effective. The decision was more focus on tools and demonstrations of tools.

  • Introduction to meet up by organisers
  • Round table for participants to say what you’re working on and if you need help with anything - bring along your Wikipedia, Wikidata, or Wikimedia problems
  • Video conferencing agreement - this is our second meeting using jitsi. Do we want to try Big Blue Button next time or continue with jitsi? Test BBB link
  • Review of questions raised during round table
  • Siobhan (Ambrosia10) to discuss with the group an email from Merrilee Proffitt from the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group. They are proposing of a worldwide virtual #1Lib1Ref Wikipedia editing event with New Zealand starting the world off.
  • Siobhan (Ambrosia10) has a new resource for those interested in learning more about property proposals for Wikidata. See this link. The Wikipedia Weekly Youtube channel has several instructional videos. Another great example is a video showing a workflow using WikiShootMe tool and the website mapillary.com. Well worth a watch for those interested in maps/images/streets etc.
  • Demonstration of another tool - to be confirmed
  • Mike will share recent work on Massey University staff, including the upload of Jane Ussher photos to Category:Rangahau
  • Get on with problem solving, editing, and chatting
    • Discuss conventions for including people's iwi
    • Update on what the place names macron project group have learnt
    • New Zealand English status in NZ articles
    • Moving articles process (to rename them) - See this page for information on how to move a page.
