Venue
The National Library net.work space has good WiFi and internet accessible computers for those that don’t have laptops. The meetup organizer
Einebillion (
talk·contribs) has spoken with staff and they are happy to have us use the space for a meet up. We'll be there from 10.00am.
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
Get on with problem solving, editing, and chatting
Suggestion from Mike: folks on Twitter were asking about an article about charity group
The Aunties (needs improving) and founder Jackie Clark. Maybe a project for someone? —

Discussion
Hawke's Bay Digital Archives Trust
The Hawke's Bay Digital Archives Trust have set up their site,
Knowledge Bank with a default license of CC-BY-NC, for example this nifty image of
Te Mata Peak. In summary, two things about this:
The NC (Non-Commercial Use) clause prevents usage on Wikipedia and Wikipedia Commons, and
Much of the material is in the public domain, and therefore cannot be covered by a Creative Commons license anyway.
Question: is there a way to somehow automatically "mirror" resources onto Wikipedia Commons, given the appropriate license change can be made, or do they need to be (bulk) imported?
Useful links and suggestions:
Inform the Hawke's Bay Digital Archives Trust that
Te Papa's National Services provide assistance for copyright training with Expert Knowledge exchanges and also have information on funding sources.
Gertrude206 reported later a bit of trouble with the plug-in in Safari. After installing it Wikipedia kept logging out when trying to edit. Problem resolved when the plug-in was uninstalled.
Citation bookmarklet
Jon (
talk) uses a nifty bookmarklet (a scrap of JavaScript, saved as a bookmark) called
WebRef, for Firefox and Chrome, that generates the cite template text you need to paste into your Wikipedia article. There are loads of other nifty citation tools over at
