Agenda

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.

Einebillion (talk) has approached Wellington City Council Library staff and they have agreed the group can use the large screen TV above the magazine high table for demonstrations. The librarians will provide a cable so laptops can connect to the TV. Ask for the cable at the Librarian desk.

• 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
• Demonstration of the Open Refine tool now deferred to next meeting UPDATE: The librarians have let me know that the TV will not be available due to an event in the library space. The other table is still available for our use however. Einebillion (talk) 02:26, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
• Discuss "de-stubbing"
• Get on with problem solving, editing, and chatting

Outcomes

Group is smaller today due to busy lives. Only three of us. What's been happening in the past week.

• Writing articles on theatre in New Zealand. Found data sets but couldn't open files.
• Mix n Match for music albums - matched over 1000!
• Reviewed resources on quick statements but got stuck.
• Einebillion (talk) Setting up new pages for meet up and invited to talk data.govt.nz about sourcing data from state agencies

This session

• Talked about de-stubbing and the ORES tool ArticleQuality.js - A user-script that displays article quality predictions on the top of articles (and items in Wikidata), on history pages, and next to article links in lists. However we were stumped as to how to get this tool working with our user profiles.
• Quilt Phase (talk) and Einebillion (talk) spent time familiarising new editor Bifwats (talk) with the wikipedia platform, the user page, and editing practice
• Pakoire (talk) worked on accessing datasets for the theatre project
• Einebillion (talk) did some more work on wikidata photographers
