From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I joined Wikipedia in 2014 and was editing it mostly as part of a GLAM-Wiki project at The Dowse Art Museum, New Zealand Craft Artists project. This project concluded in late 2015 and I'm now editing for fun.

My interest is in New Zealand art, artists, art history, museum professionals and public art institutions.

About me

I am a paid employee of the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (Te Papa), an autonomous Crown entity of New Zealand that provides a forum in which the nation may present, explore, and preserve both the heritage of its cultures and knowledge of the natural environment in order to better understand and treasure the past, enrich the present, and meet the challenges of the future. We are working to make our holdings, publications, and other resources more accessible to the public by engaging directly with the Wikimedia Foundation projects Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons.

Conflict of interest statement

When I am editing the Wikimedia Foundation projects Wikipedia, Wikidata or contributing to Wikimedia Commons as part of my official professional duties, I always strive to strictly abide by the accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability of that particular project. Because Te Papa's educational mission is in line with Wikipedia's mission to disseminate knowledge freely, I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with that Wikimedia Foundation projects practices and procedures. Therefore, I will not make substantive edits to articles related to Te Papa as an agency (e.g. Te Papa), or its personnel. Instead, my edits and contributions will be to contribute subject matter expertise, for example to improve articles about Te Papa holdings or subjects relating to New Zealand (e.g. Phar Lap, New Zealand art).

You can find out more about this project at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa WikiProject. Te Papa’s work on Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons is being governed by internal guidelines, which we have published on-wiki in our WikiProject page. If you believe I have made an error or violated Wikipedia’s norms, please do not hesitate to contact me. My email is also listed on this page in case I am not regularly checking my talk page.
