Pounamu

edit

The coverage of pounamu in Wikipedia is pretty atrocious but the supposedly C-class article gets about 180 views a day. It would be great to have photos documenting the process of carving, the different classifications of stone, a gallery of objects etc.

Photographs of people and events

edit

If you've taken photos, or have commissioned photos and own the copyright, these can be released under an open licence to Wikimedia Commons, which means they can be used by Wikipedia and Wikidata as well as media, researchers etc. New Zealand art coverage in Wikipedia is really short of images of people. As for images of works, that's even harder, as the copyright is owned by the artists, who have to agree to release an image under an open licence. One way to solve this problem is for artists to take photographs of their own work and donate those to Commons.
