Dr Mike Dickison (User:Giantflightlessbirds, contact: ) worked as a Wikipedian in Residence from June 2023 with the Healthier Lives National Science Challenge office in the University of Otago's Department of Medicine to upload images to Commons, improve Wikidata on researchers and publications, cite published research to improve relevant Wikipedia articles, and create new articles as needed.

Goals

 * 1) A Wikipedia article about Healthier Lives He Oranga Hauora, summarising the origins and main investigators in the Science Challenge, the research themes and projects, and a selected publications list and outcomes, linking back to the (archived) Healthier Lives website.
 * 2) For each researcher, all available research publications in Wikidata, linked to them as the authors, with a Scholia publications list and graphs.
 * 3) A WikiCommons category for each researcher where possible, using images supplied by Healthier Lives, with a profile photo assigned to their Wikidata item.
 * 4) Citing the key published papers from each Healthier Lives project area in relevant Wikipedia articles (e.g. prediabetes, diabetes, obesity, sustainable diet: full list to come), and linking back to the Healthier Lives Wikipedia article.
 * 5) Create articles about selected researchers (update: Simon Kingham, Cris Print, Sue Crengle), especially early-career scientists profiled in the Research Voices posts, using photos cleared by the Healthier Lives comms team and uploaded to Wikimedia Commons.
 * 6) Brief list article in Wikipedia of all the National Science Challenges . Done by a volunteer, 28/5/23
 * 7) Checking the MBIE Healthier Lives site is backed up in the Internet Archive, and is scraped again when complete . (The site has been archived 132 times between 2016 and 2023, and will continue to be scraped at least monthly.)

Healthier Lives people
(Note: Wikidata generally uses the full name as given in author lists on publications; Wikipedia will use the most-commonly-referred-by name—for example, the one in a university staff listing. The Scholia link shows the number of publications currently in Wikidata and properly linked to that person's Wikidata ID.)

Author dismbiguator for SLT run 21/11, Scholia totals to update.

These are health workers or early-career researchers featured on the Healthier Lives blog. It's very important for all researchers to have a public ORCiD profile if Wikipedians are to help link and cite their research and add them to Wikidata; any blog profiles like this should also link to the subject's public ORCiD.
