Revision as of 03:03, 18 May 2024
On 18 May 2024, the New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject and Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand are collaborating on an edit-a-thon focusing on improving content on New Zealand women in architecture.
We’re pleased to bring back the Walking Tour and Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for 2024. The two concurrent events will be held on Saturday 18 May 2024.
Women still make up less than 20% of biographies on Wikipedia, and the New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject aims to fill the gaps in the digital realm and increase the visibility of prolific female architects.
Originally inspired by the book Making Space (editor Elizabeth Cox), we will be continuing last year’s work to increase articles about women and non-binary people in or from Aotearoa New Zealand who work in architecture and related fields.
A+W NZ is fortunate enough to be joined by Lisa Maule, who will be our Wikipedia expert on the day. Lisa contributes to a multitude of Wikipedia projects that aim to increase the diversity on Wikipedia, including Women in Red, Pasifika Arts Aotearoa, and Women in STEAM Aotearoa.
Tickets are available here.
Auckland in-person Women in Architecture Edit-a-thon & Walking Tour 18 May 2024
Date: Saturday 18 May 2024
Walking Tour, 10am to 1pm
The walking tour will be starting in Auckland CBD and take you to five locations. Free license photos and images are a challenging aspect of filling out wikipedia articles. Attendees will be asked to take photos during the walking tour and upload them to WikiCommons to contribute to the online database!
Meet outside the Ellen Melville Centre at 10am, we will finish the tour at Auckland Museum. Lunch will be provided, followed by a tutorial on photo uploading by Lisa.
Please bring your own laptop for uploading!
Edit-a-thon, 10am to 4pm
The edit-a-thon will run from 10am-4pm at the Learning Labs at Auckland Museum.
Copies of Making Space and other publications will be available for reference.
All experience levels welcome! A beginners’ course will be held at 10am after introductions, for new editors or experienced ones that need a refresher.
Location: Learning Labs, at Auckland Museum, Level 1 next to Te Whiwhinga the Imaginarium.
Feel free to come by any time during the day to join the group. Please bring your own editing device. Lunch will be provided at 1pm.
