 * Press, articles, blog posts, videos
 * Blogs
 * In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)

WP:KMN page updatingLPascal (talk) 04:05, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
I would like to start updating the KMN page and redesign it so it's more useful as a reference page to instructions and lists for editors. Some of the changes may be quite large. I wanted to make this proposal on the KMN talk page but there doesn't seem to be a suitable place on the Talk page for KMN to make the proposal so I am sending this suggestion to all the editors who I can see have contributed to the KMN page. I expect that I would flounder a bit in updating the page and may need to get advice from you and others as you set up the page. Is it Ok with you if I have a go at editing the KMN page?

Wikipedia : Joanne Etheridge
Hi, Responding to your recent communication about the above subject. My editing of that page (that you created) was in response to a personal request from Joanne Etheridge. I do not work for Joanne Etheridge but was a part of her team at Monash for 7 years. Her concern with the page that you created was that is contained several factual errors or omissions and that the publications list that you included did not reflect, what she considered, the most important publications in her professional career. I notice that you also had issues with the infobox photo that I added - this again was provide by Joanne. As you commented, this was my first foray into Wikipedia editing and I would be happy if it is my last. Would it be possible for you to include some of the amendments that Joanne suggested that would reflect more accurately her professional career? would be happy to provide these for you. Thanks David

Re: Wikipedia page - Joanne Etheridge
Hi, I informed Joanne Etheridge this morning that you have reinstated your original version of her Wikipedia page. Her response to me is below:

Hi David,

This is very frustrating and what a waste of your time! The most annoying thing is that their version is riddled with errors! I never moved to Ontario! I have just this moment given a talk in Germany and the person who introduced me said I had spent 3 years in Canada! They must have got this from wiki! These errors propagate rapidly! If you are in touch with Oronsay can you point out the urgency and the need to be accurate or delete it altogether! What a weird world we live in! Thanks again for all your efforts. I am sorry this has been in vein!

Cheers,

Jo.

Would you please consider amending (or deleting) Joanne's Wikipedia page.

Kind regards,

David

WikiProject update - Performing Arts Aotearoa 20 June
Many thanks to all who have contributed so far. There are 28 new Wikipedia articles and over 500 new Wikidata entries. The Kia Mau Festival mini edit-a-thon happened with useful learning for me about what seems simple and what is possible. I am proud of the persistence of editors – a much improved article for Audrey Brown-Pereira for example, a new article for The Māori Sidesteps and lots of links from performance UPU to various poets. And many Wikidata entries.

You can now link to the project page through my website (http://www.lisamaule.info). Easier to remember and google-able (Wikiproject Lisa) if you want to direct other people where to look.

Things to do:

•	DEEPEN CONTENT: Have a look at the new articles on the project page: User:Pakoire/Performing Arts Aotearoa - Wiki Project. Many can be expanded including with this resource: Theatre Aotearoa database https://tadb.otago.ac.nz/theatre

•	LINKABLE ARTICLES: Create articles for a venue, a company or a festival. This will help facilitate biographies being linked to other articles. Suggestions on project page.

•	KEEP GOING with your own area. Let me know what you are up to. See my new research google doc (linked on the project page) – feel free to comment if you need something (ask me for permission to edit)

•	IMPROVE ANY ARTICLE on any performing arts topic, theatre, dance, venues – feel free to use my suggestions as a starting point and then going where it takes you. Reach out for suggestions in your area of interest, or ideas for research. I am a subject expert which helps with searching, and now have a pool of academics and others who I can ask too.

Examples of articles to get formatting ideas:

•	New Zealand Opera

•	Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival

•	Bangarra Dance Theatre

•	Hugo Weaving

•	Tusiata Avia

•	Kia Mau Festival

•	Circa Theatre

•	New Zealand Festival of the Arts

•	Raewyn Hill

Very simple stub articles:

•	Eagles Theatre

•	Camden Fringe

DIARY the three in person edit-a-thons now scheduled 10am - 4pm:

Dunedin Saturday 10 July (location tbc) - topic Allen Hall and contemporary companies in Dunedin

Auckland Saturday 14 August (location tbc) - topic Auckland Women in performing arts

Wellington Saturday 21 August (Nola Millar Library, Te Whaea) - topic Toi Whakaari and New Zealand School of Dance alumni

Many thanks – do what you can (might be nothing, might just be one citation) and take care, Lisa
