P.S. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you need help with anything or simply wish to say hello. :) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dude the picture you put up of the saddlebacks on the Tieke/Saddleback article is great! I extended that article page to its present size from about 2 lines a few months ago but it was never complete without a picture, which i lack the skill to put up. the article looks well rounded now..keep up the good work.

Edit-a-thon in Wellington, May 29

Hi there. I'm organising an edit-a-thon at Te Papa on Sunday May 29th, focussed on adding NZ flora and fauna species to Wikipedia. It would be good to have some more experienced editors along to help any complete beginners, and I wonder if you might be interested in attending. If so, feel free to add yourself to the Wikipedia:Meetup/Wellington/2016_Edit-a-thon. It would be great to have a good turnout and show Te Papa there's an active local editing community.
