rove.wiki) is working as as a Wikipedian in Residence in August 2024 with the Science for Technological Innovation (SfTI) National Science Challenge headquartered in Callaghan Innovation, Wellington (Science for Technological Innovation (Q129525495)) to upload video and images to Commons, improve Wikidata on researchers and publications, cite published research to improve relevant Wikipedia articles, and create new articles as needed.
Resources
[edit]Goals
[edit]Checking the SfTI website is backed up in the Internet Archive, and is scraped again when complete.DONE. (The site has been archived 300 times between 2016 and 2024, and will continue to be scraped at least monthly.)Upload the Innovation Stories video shorts to Wikimedia Commons under an open licence. DONE.Excerpt parts of the Innovation stories that could be embedded in appropriate Wikipedia articles. 2 of 8 done.Create a Wikipedia article about SfTI, summarising the origins and main investigators in the Science Challenge, the research themes and projects, and a selected publications list and outcomes, linking back to the (archived) website.- (optionally)
Create a WikiCommons category for significant Challenge people, using images supplied to be released under an open licence, with a profile photo assigned to their Wikidata item. DONE from supplied photos, plus some open-licensed images. - (optionally) Create articles about significant SfTI researchers, listing their most significant research publications in Wikidata, linked to them as the authors, with a Scholia publications list.
- (optionally) Using the key published papers from each of the 11 Spearhead project areas to improve relevant Wikipedia articles, linking back to the Challenge's Wikipedia article.
Innovation Stories
[edit]SfTI created a short documentary and series of video shorts hosted on Vimeo by Frank Productions (Q129887047) that they have released under an open licence.
- Connected for Innovation (Connected for Innovation (Q129864880)) and trailer SfTI Innovation Stories
- Robots in the Wild
- Self-Navigating Forest Track Mulching Machines
- Ātea: Weaving tikanga through digital realities
- Super Sustainable Surfactants
- Precision Aquaculture: Unleashing Underwater Robots
- The Kaitiaki, the Sensor & the Scientist

People
[edit](Note: Wikidata generally uses the full name as given in author lists on publications; Wikipedia will use the most-commonly-referred-by name—for example, the one in a university staff listing. The Scholia link shows the number of publications currently in Wikidata and properly linked to that person's Wikidata ID.)
