User:Pakoire

Tēnā koe, my name is Lisa,

I created my Wikipedia account in November 2019. I got introduced through an edit-a-thon in Aotearoa / New Zealand at the Dowse Art Museum.

In general my areas of interest are the Treaty of Waitangi and past events in Aotearoa, art, theatre and performing arts especially from Aotearoa and increasing the quality and presence of women, LGBTIQ+ and POC on Wikipedia.

I have a conflict of interest with some performing arts subjects as I have worked in a freelance manner in performing arts over a number of years. I am managing this conflict of interest by declaring it on this page or in relevant articles. Since December 2021 I have been working for Te Rākau Hua o Te Wao Tapu (Te Rākau), Jim Moriarty and Helen Pearse-Otene. I get support of other editors from time to time depending on the nature of the conflict. Creative New Zealand payed me to teach Wikipedia to new editors from December 2021 to April 2022.

I am Pākehā and my heritage is English and Scottish. I was born in Aotearoa and grew up in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington).

My user name 'pakoire' is a Māori language word that means to imitate bird sounds. My pronouns are she / her.

I attended Wikimania in Singapore in 2023 and enjoyed being overwhelmed by a massive conference all things 'Wiki' and the regional conference ESEAP in Kota Kinabalu in 2024 through a scholarship from the Wikimedia Foundation.

Notability guidelines
Validity for a Wikipedia / encyclopedia article consider:"'An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable. If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it.'"See also:

Notability (people) - directors, writers, choreographers, designers, artists

Notability (people) - actors, dancers?

Notability (academics) - eg for women in STEM
