Now created in Wikidata for easy citation. {{Wikidata entity link|Q137382736}} died in 1969 and {{Wikidata entity link|Q137266327}} in 1972, so both of those texts’ copyright has recently expired in NZ and they could be digitised and made available through the library or museum websites. One could also work through the {{Q|Q137382893}} and add those publications to Wikidata. |

This is the project page for a Wikipedia collaboration between Kaikōura District Council, Kaikōura Museum, and Wikipedian Mike Dickison (User:Giantflightlessbirds) focussed on Kaikōura and the surrounding area.
After Mike visited Kaikōura Museum as a tourist in October 2024, he arranged with the museum manager to return for a weekend in July 2025 to give a public talk on Wikipedia and run a workshop for local heritage and tourism operators on working with Wikimedia platforms. The workshop gave rise to this project.
The project begins in December 2025 and continues on a part-time (one day a week) basis until the end of March 2026. It is funded equally by Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand and the Kaikōura District Council.
(Please add your username if you’re keen to help with this project, and Mike will be in touch to discuss strategy and any help needed.)
- 26 July 2025 • Kaikōura Wikipedia Workshop • Dolphin Encounter Boardroom. Presenting to seven participants, Mike went through slides on why Wikipedia matters, some statistics, notability criteria, vandalism prevention, Wikimedia Commons, and open Creative Commons licences.
- January 2026 • planned visit to Kaikōura to work with the Museum collections and run a public editing event.
- 7–8 March 2026 • Kaikōura Wiki Weekend • Wikipedians invited to visit Kaikōura for an edit-a-thon, photo walk, and to work with the Museum’s photo collections.
Now created in Wikidata for easy citation. John McAra Sherrard (Q137382736) died in 1969 and William John Elvy (Q137266327) in 1972, so both of those texts’ copyright has recently expired in NZ and they could be digitised and made available through the library or museum websites. One could also work through the J. M. Sherrard Award (Q137382893) and add those publications to Wikidata.
