Preparation[edit]

  1. Please register your interest: lisamauleinfo@gmail.com
  2. Create a Wikipedia account beforehand: best not to 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. Here's some advice on picking a username.
  3. Look at the project list of suggested articles: Project information Wellington Performing Arts Edit-a-thon 2021.
  4. Read up on Wikipedia: there are lots of tutorials, like the Wikipedia Adventure, and useful guides, like the Editing Wikipedia brochure.

Articles to develop[edit]

Articles need to pass notability, which typically means the person, company or event is well-known enough to be discussed by sources in the media or in academic articles.

There is a list of articles to develop and resources on google drive:

Examples:

New articles include: Susan Wilson

Outcomes[edit]

New articles include: Madison Nonoa

Fifteen editors joined the event dashboard, wrote over 76K words and added 217 references to Wikipedia and Wikidata. People joined our Zoom video meeting when they were able and breakout rooms allowed small group coaching and also social catch ups. There were four new editors - two from last weekend in Auckland, and two with accounts set up for the day. Out of the fifteen editors two were in Australia and one in USA, eight from Wellington and four dispersed around Aotearoa.

New articles created because of the edit-a-thon include:
