== New Challenge for Oceania and Australia == |
|||
== [[:File:Tararua Range and Mt Dundas 20 August 1909 edit.jpg]] == |
|||
Hi, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge]] are up and running based on [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon|The Africa Destubathon]], which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC) |

:I think this does do a much better job of indicating a connection between the CPG and the rest of the TIS (partly by the colours, partly by the omission of the black contact border).

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/20/Wikimedia-Meetup-GoldenBay-Mohua-v2_05.jpg/400px-Wikimedia-Meetup-GoldenBay-Mohua-v2_05.jpg)
Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.
Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.
Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
