My husband got a bit of a surprise when he opened the tea cupboard this morning. Turns out we had a guest!

Is it dumb that I feel like no one warned me about how hard it would be having a new baby, even though literally everyone warns you

20% of English Wikipedia's biographies are about women! This is a huge milestone, but there's so much more work to be done on notable women who are more than qualified for their own Wikipedia biography. Thank you to all of the editors who are taking part in this work 🫶

Your photos of yesterday's historic hīkoi are important. You can add them to the public record with Wikimedia Commons, Category:Hīkoi to Parliament. I wrote a step-by-step guide (www.rove.wiki/blog/uploadi...) and an accompanying video tutorial (www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwe-...).

I'm keen to focus more on adding books by women to Wikipedia, rather than just biographies. I've added a page today for the Alex quartet by Tessa Duder, which I recently reread. #pukapuka en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_(n...

Today, we remember playwright & author, Renée Taylor, who has sadly passed away at 92.

"Books —plays, poetry, short stories, novels, nonfiction — they feed us, they heal the broken places, they teach us new things, lead us back to old. They are still working."

Mona Williams is on the front page of Wikipedia today! I don't know who to tag on here, but hoping #pukapuka #nzbooks will get it in front of people. 😊

I read this book as a young teen, Talking to Blue by Ken Catran, and want to reread it but can't find it anywhere. Any #aotearoabooks people have a source for me? Would be forever in your debt 🙏
