edit- Troubleshooting: bring along your Wikipedia problems
- Demo of Geo locator - search with "swiss army knife" in the title to find P's favourite one
- "Show and Tell" of what we do on Wiki:
- Podzemnik = uploads photos to Commons and nominates/votes on featured articles
- Schwede = writes articles on rowing/rowers, and writes articles on NZ and Chch political history
- HereWhy = new editor, researching and writing on NZ women and also lighthouses and geo co-ordinates of NZ sites
- Planning of future meetups
- We need to find a way to locate and connect with Chch Wikipedians. Let's keep these WP Meetup pages on Wiki but also discuss on the talk page of the Chch Meetups page about matters related to Chch. - Schwede and Podzemnik are going to draft and send an email to everyone on the NZ WP'ans list and ask if they are in Chch and if so would they like us to add them to the Chch Wikipedians category.
- Planning of future collaborative projects
- Kate Dewes article: advice about controversy
- Suggest putting a note on the talk page to support the edits, and to cite the sources which support your point. If another editor reverts your edit, you can revert this back and ask them to discuss their difference of opinion on the talk page.
- Circulated survey from Victoria University about experiences of new WP editors
- Next meeting: Monday 18 November, at Smash Palace 7pm-9pm
