New Zealand Through Government Lens
editWhat's it about?
editArchives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kāwanatanga are the official guardian of New Zealand’s public archives. We gather, store and protect a wide range of material. Including the originals of the Treaty of Waitangi, government documents, maps, paintings, photographs and film. This is our first step into the world of Wikipedia and are seeking help to improve and create articles in relation to New Zealand History. We have tons of digitised material that you can use but may not be aware that it is there. Our records are primary source so how we use with Wikipedia may not be the same as other institutions – this is why we need your help!

Preparation
edit- If you're planning to participate, try to create a Wikipedia account beforehand: don't wait until the day to do it! Here's a form you can use if you like. Creating an account makes editing much easier - here's more info on why you should. You'll need to pick a "handle" for your username; you could use your real name, or be anonymous, it's your choice. Here's some advice on picking a username.
- The more you prepare, the more you'll be able to get done. You may want to read up on avoiding common mistakes, but Wikipedia has a "don't bite the newbies" policy, and we'll be there to troubleshoot.
- Have a think about topics you'd like to work on; do a little research first so you're prepared. You don't have to be an expert; anyone who can do library research and write clearly can help improve Wikipedia. The best candidates for Wikipedia articles are people who are "notable". In Wikipedia terms, "notable" usually means they're been covered in a number of reliable independent sources, such as news, books, authoritative websites, or magazine interviews. If you're proposing to add someone to Wikipedia it's important to make sure they're "notable"; talk to us if you're not sure – we can help.
