Hokitika Wikipedia Meetup

This is a meetup for volunteer Wikipedia editors who want to get advice, collaborate, and assist others. Editing Wikipedia, WikiCommons, and Wikidata is great fun and socially worthy; while there's enormous amounts of advice and information available online on how to do it, nothing beats chatting with other human beings and getting some help and inspiration. During the West Coast Wikipedian at Large project it became clear that the coverage of the Coast on Wikipedia was pretty poor. The way to solve this is to get West Coast people empowered to tell their own stories, and for this we need a support structure and access to expertise and resources. These meetups are part of that.
