Report
Lots discussed!
 * Wiki Loves Wine Weekend: use Martinborough as a test case; this could grow into a roving Wikipedian touring the vineyards of NZ and improving NZ wine content – a dream job. We should approach NZ Winegrowers for a grant…
 * All Royal Society Te Apairangi awards and prizes should be in Wikidata, with an ORCID ID for each winner, and photos taken on the spot.
 * DOC threatened species categories: each TCS report should have a DOI, and be in Wikidata so it can be cited more easily. We should create a TCS Wikidata property too.
 * Artists: run a workshop for artists/gallery directors/gallery volunteers on how to get NZ artists into Wikipedia. Advertise through The Big Idea.
 * Turnbull: Get them into #1lib1ref, pitting library against library – perhaps Turnbull against the Victoria State Library, or VUW against Vic. Ask ALex Stinson for advice.
 * Ministry for Culture and Heritage: what's happening with the Dictionary of NZ Biography? And Te Ara?
 * An edit-a-thon for NZ female professors, to build on Stuart's work? Ask the Royal Society or NZ Association of Scientists to support?
 * Wikipedia articles about the Stout family: a PM, the first female Dean of Science, etc.
 * She Shears is a movie: could that team get behind a Wikipedia event to support female shearers (see Kerri-Jo Te Huia and what User:Kate.aotearoa did at WP:E4E1)
 * We also had a demo of Commons CropTool
