About the Event

Home cafe

The meetup is for both experienced editors and those wanting to try editing Wikipedia, Wikidata, or Wikimedia Commons. Come along to listen to what others are doing, talk about what you’re doing, ask questions, and get some help.The meetup is organised by Einebillion (Victoria Leachman) and Ambrosia10 (Siobhan Leachman).

Complete beginners are welcome. Training and troubleshooting is provided. Free WiFi is available. Bring a laptop if you can. There are also public computers in the space that have internet access. We’re open to everyone and committed to providing a safe space.

Food and drink in the space is frowned upon within the net.work area but Home Cafe is a a few steps away if your energy is flagging.

Agenda

Introduction to meetup 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
- Two things from Mike, in absentia, that Tahatai pointed out: the Carol Hirschfeld article is almost 50% about her dismissal; can we bring some balance there (see the Talk, pinging Gertrude206)? And the article Domestic violence in New Zealand is atrocious, with almost no information or sources: this needs a fair bit of work, and would be a good joint project for some editors.
