The Ōtepoti Dunedin weekly meetups are a chance for Wiki people (Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource, and so on) to get together, get advice, get collaborations started. Everybody's welcome, beginners or experienced.

Venue

[edit]
  • Seminar Room 2, Central Library, University of Otago (look for the Wikipedia banner by the library's west entrance)
  • Friday, 3 October 2025
  • 12.30 to 1.30pm

Come along and get stuck into some wiki-work, or learn from other editors about the things they're working on.


Attendees

[edit]

Add your Wikipedia username if you have one. Tip: in Source editing you can just type asterisk-space-three tildes (* ~~~)

Apologies

[edit]

What have we been up to?

[edit]
  • Uploaded some images to help people find the Lunchipedia room, and made a category on Wikimedia Commons for Wikimedia meetups in Dunedin.
  • Created event pages for the rest of the Lunchipedia sessions
  • Had a chat with a librarian who may help transcribe Frances Browne's book next week

Upcoming events

[edit]
  • Next week (10 Oct) Otago academic Tom McLean is in Ireland at an annual festival dedicated to the author, Frances Browne. We will have a short introduction to WikiSource, so we can help transcribe Frances Browne's book of Irish fairy tales from 1857 on WikiSource, to create a lendable e-book.
