Report[edit]

Local Body Elections 2010 *
- General reminder these is coming up.
- pages already created for the various races (see New Zealand local elections, 2010 )
- General discussion about problem with getting official results. The papers have provisional results a day or two after the election and some councils publish them on their websites but difficult to get full and accurate coverage.
- Since there are a large number of races results should be fairly short for most, just listing winners
Articles with missing photographs
- Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Auckland and Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New Zealand
- Suggested a "Top 50" list be created to give people something to aim for. Especially existing objects that they can photograph themselves
- Some discussion about getting photographs of people. Simon Lyall mentioned he was going to email the majority of NZ MPs asking for a photo. Problems getting photos of past subjects ( photograph in copyright, difficulty getting image released or finding person to contact).
- Creation of photo request template to send to people to request photographs.
- Papers past has some photographs and cartoons (see 1907 in New Zealand ) that may be suitable for articles.
Wikimedia New Zealand
- A lot of overhead in creating an organisation. General feeling that this was too much work and probably not required.
- Suggestion that contact page be created, protected and authorised by Wikimedia International.
- Listing:
  - Contact people ( general, media comment, people able to give talks)
  - People responsible for various areas (task forces, sub projects)
  - Links to resources ( Sample talks, templates, copyright information )
  - Involve Māori wikipedia and other projects.
- Gadfium and SimonLyall to look into
Getting monthly collaboration more active
- Low level of participation
- Periodic revival attempts
- Suggested person in charge just decide on page rather than have votes
General
- Some discussion of current topics, war stories
- Encourage people to contibute to one article per week
- List of simple things newcomers, schools can work on. Suggestions as to what NOT to create ( articles on school, club, family members) and what to create ( Local MP, Photos of local area, local All Black, etc.)
