Agenda items

 * Round the table – what's everyone up to?
 * Is it plagiarism? Should one be flattered or flummoxed to find a non-WP website appears to have copied a WP article virtually word for word. Case in point: PeoplePill’s bio on Jane Soons. Can’t add external link because PeoplePIll is registered on Wikipedia's blacklist and Mirrors_and_forks

Outcomes

 * Discussed the agenda item above
 * Looked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject New Zealand/heritage and played around with the queries (DrThneed noticed it :-) )
 * Briefly talked about the 2021 Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand convention set for 20-21 March in Hokitika
