Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand

Some Wikipedians have formed a WikiProject to better organise information in articles related to New Zealand. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please enquire on the talk page.

NZ biographies

edit

Many New Zealand biographies are yet to be written, including for many people who have an entry in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography. The Women in Red project which supports the creation of biographies about women, has developed a Wikidata list of red linked women from New Zealand based on articles in other language versions of Wikipedia. Please note the guideline for notability of New Zealand people.

Requested images

edit

If an article needs an image add {{Image requested|in=New Zealand}} to the articles' talk page.

Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in New Zealand lists all pages for which an image has been requested. Suitable historic photos may be found on the website of the National Library; please follow these instructions.

Project banner

Place {{WPNZ|class=|importance=}} onto any new New Zealand article's talk page for it to be recognised and assessed under the project's scope. An article's assessment is generated from the class and importance parameters and helps organise relevant articles for improvement. When assessed, the class and importance parameters are filled in, like this:

{{WPNZ|class=Start|importance=Mid}}

and the banner looks like this:
