How do we get New Zealand artists into Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is where people go for information, and anyone researching New Zealand artists will see a Wikipedia link in the first few results. Unfortunately, the Wikipedia coverage of our artists is pretty bad. 'Wikipedian-at-large' and museum curator Mike Dickison presents an informal evening covering practical steps the art community can take to make New Zealand art more visible to the world.
On Sunday 19 May at 12 noon, Mike will also be facilitating a wikipedia 'edit-a-thon' at which anyone can come along, learn about editing, and improve wikipedia pages for New Zealand artists. All you need for this event is a laptop.
