Wikipedians in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, do you want to help improve articles on local Auckland histories?

The Wikipedia Summer Students at Auckland Museum are hosting an edit-a-thon focused on editing stubs (very short articles) on content in the area. 11am – 2pm, Saturday 25 January.

Oh, that's wonderful! I think there's a few different requests for the Landcare building (I think there's a beetle collection from memory, I'd have to check)

Alright! After playing around with maps for a while, every Auckland river/stream on Wikipedia has a fancy dynamic map. Took some effort but it was pretty fun learning how to do it!
