@jamesrgaunt @annreynolds988 @Wikipedia @wm_au @wikiprojectnz Good to see we all have a New Zealand contribution in there: Hazel Tucker from @annreynolds988 and Te Whāriki from @jamesrgaunt – mine is #7 @WellyParanormal, which I apparently created the Wikipedia article for!

@KnitMeAThneed I think this might do it, it’s called Userviews (Pageviews of all pages created by a user): https://t.co/bXbXR8tUYE #WellyWikiCon

@SiobhanLeachman There’s a scan of it here but it’s in Latin I think https://t.co/3fT0m9OqSj

Doing a grad today! 😁 #RMITGrad22 #statistics #datascience

@wm_au @WikiCommons Here’s one I just uploaded of @amylandsniffers playing at @thetotehotel NYE 2017: https://t.co/AzyzZpKzGl

@heroicendeavour It was the same for me (wake up in Berlin, home by tea time), but with an entire day missing!

[Alex Lum @metacoretechs]

@heroicendeavour I was just going to say Spy Museum and have a currywurst which was what I did – but you’re already on it, great minds and all that!

@adzebill @Wikimedia “Minties is a brand of confectionery originating in Australia and manufactured in both Australia and New Zealand for their respective markets.” https://t.co/39lk2tErhk #wmsummit

@wellmaywesay @FarragoMagazine @LotsWifeMag I worked at a student mag in the 90s ( @togatus_) and I’m pretty sure it was “The Art of Shoplifting” by Rabelais (La Trobe) in 1995. But pretty sure it happens regularly in these student mags every few years!

@samwilson I usually use P276 (location) for suburbs or localities, and P131 (located in administrative territorial entity) for LGAs or states.

@SiobhanLeachman @AxelWilkeNZ You know how I said my family had it but I didn’t? Well I did end up getting it—after FOUR negative RATs, the fifth one was positive! But I was very lucky, I was pretty much asymptomatic.

[Alex Lum @metacoretechs]

@SiobhanLeachman My whole family has tested positive for COVID, except for me! Four negative tests so far – not sure how I’ve avoided it but it might be because I was in Tasmania when they were most contagious.

[Alex Lum @metacoretechs]

Back to Tasmania!

@SAElectoralCom Speaking of waiting, when are the Legislative Council results going to be updated on the ECSA website? It still says last updated 1 April, and doesn’t say who was elected.

[Alex Lum @metacoretechs]

@adzebill @annreynolds988 @wm_au @VLeachman Yes, would definitely be better as a longer hands-on session. I actually started it intending to submit a proposal to present it at one of the WikiCons (hence all the Aotearoa content), so would be happy to do so if there is interest.

[Alex Lum @metacoretechs]

@annreynolds988 This was my usual starting word yesterday (which I got in two guesses) and I changed it today! I could have got it in 1 if I hadn’t. Tragic indeed ;) !

[Alex Lum @metacoretechs]

@kevinbonham @mumbletwits @Graeme_Orr Did a quick check before and also got Werriwa 2005 as the only 2nd place informal vote at a federal by-election since 1901.

@KnitMeAThneed @Tagishsimon There was a recent NZ Gazette where they shuffled the names of four mountains in the Darran Mountains which had been “incorrectly depicted”. https://t.co/CB6F0dKY7R
