Lisa created a Wikipedia account in November 2019 to write about Māori women artists at an edit-a-thon at the Dowse Art Museum

New Zealand Women in Architecture WikiProject

Women in Architecture Aotearoa WikiProject is a project to improve content of New Zealand women architects and their work in Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.

This project is inspired by the book Making Space: A History of New Zealand Women in Architecture edited by Elizabeth Cox.

 

 

 

In December 2022 there were nine women listed in the category "New Zealand women architects". There are over 500 women named in the chapters of Making Space. Join the project to increase the number of articles about women and non-binary people who work in architecture and related fields in or from Aotearoa New Zealand. 

The project page has details of upcoming in-person or online events. There are also guides about doing Wikipedia - anyone can edit - join a community to learn how.

This is a project to improve content of New Zealand Aotearoa based Pasifika Arts. The goal is to increase biographies with a target of 50% new articles being women or non-binary folk. A Wikipedian-in-Residence component was funded by Creative New Zealand  and in that time 20 new articles were created.

In 2022 Lisa Maule & Sophia Coghini had a paper Pasifika Arts & Wikipedia accepted to the #WOW2022 Wikipedia conference in Sydney, Australia.
