Wikipedia:Meetup/Christchurch

Attend a Christchurch Wikipedia, Wikidata, Wikimedia Meetup 

All are welcome. Shortcut:WP:CHCH

Wikipedians in Christchurch hold informal face to face meetings on Sunday mornings once a month.

The goal of the meetups is to socialise with other Wikipedians, share knowledge and experience from our wiki lives and motivate each other in doing what we're doing. We also share what we're currently working on and what we want to work on in the future. In the core of the group is a few experienced editors who are always happy to help beginners or less experienced users. If you're thinking about contributing to Wikipedia but don't know where to start, come to our meeting and we'll provide you all the support that you might need.

Currently we're meeting up at a cafe in the city centre with free WiFi so that we can have a bite to eat/something to drink while chatting, and can demonstrate and share our editing work. Everybody's welcome. Just put your name down on the page of our current meeting so we know that you're coming.

Many of the attendees are also active in the WikiProject New Zealand Christchurch Taskforce. That taskforce is open to anyone that is interested in contributing to articles on Christchurch.

Attendees can place one of the following lines of Wikitext on their user page to add it to .
