WANZ photography grant
Script error: No such module "Labelled list hatnote". In 2024 I got a grant from Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand to take new photos of uncommon instruments not well represented by freely-licensed images, which are now on Commons and illustrate several instrument articles. It was lots of fun and I hope to do more.
Current projects and preoccupations
- Musical instruments. I said I wouldn't, but the trombone-related articles were in a bad state, so I fixed them up; the types of trombone article wasn't working well, so I moved it back to trombone, or to new articles for contrabass trombone, bass trombone, cimbasso, alto trombone, valve trombone, soprano trombone, and superbone; tenor trombone can mostly defer to the main trombone article. I think most of the sackbut article does not reflect modern scholarship on the instrument and should be reduced, cited and corrected, and even largely moved back to the history section of the main trombone article.
- Articles about New Zealand, helping out on WP:NZ, and participating in Wikipedia:Meetup/Wellington
- New Zealand conductors, composers and orchestras; there is no article for SOUNZ (Toi te Arapūoru / Centre for New Zealand Music), and it needs to be an authority control source for New Zealand classical and contemporary music; many articles are incomplete and need photos/infoboxes.
- Wine articles, particularly New Zealand wine and rare or unusual (often Italian) grape varieties, for example Sagrantino or Corvinone
- Hooking things up in Wikidata
- Contributing photos to Commons
- Buffing references and citations in general wherever necessary
