Help us make wasps buzz off for good!

The Team from Wasp Wipeout

They ruin our outdoor activities, attack newly hatched birds, feed on native invertebrates, eat honeydew (a food source for our native birds and insects) and cause $130m of environmental damage a year! Every little bit counts and by contributing, you can make wasp-free regions a real possibility. … View moreThey ruin our outdoor activities, attack newly hatched birds, feed on native invertebrates, eat honeydew (a food source for our native birds and insects) and cause $130m of environmental damage a year!

We're improving the coverage of New Zealand cartoonists and comic artists in Wikipedia!
Come along, even if you've never edited Wikipedia before; keen writers/researchers and comics fans welcome.

Dr Mike Dickison is at the National Library as Wikipedian in residence for January and February, thanks to a grant from the Wikimedia Foundation. This is one of a number of events he will be running in association with the Library. We’re thrilled to be working with him to highlight the work of New Zealand cartoonists and comics artists.

What you'll be doing

There will be an introduction to Wikipedia editing at the start, and experienced editors available to help. We'll be creating articles about contemporary artists, improving others, adding references and images, and helping correct Wikipedia's gender bias.

Comic artists we want you!

Comics artists are especially welcome to attend, and invited to donate a representative sample of their work (or a self-portrait) to Commons to illustrate their article.

Two salmon products are being recalled because they may contain listeria.

The New Zealand King Salmon Co. Ltd has recalled a specific batch of its Southern Ocean brand New Zealand King Salmon Smoked Pieces and Regal Marlborough King Salmon brand Cold Smoked Salmon which may contain Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

The affected batch is coded with M362D or M362N. The recall did not apply to any other Regal Marlborough or Southern Ocean brand products.

Consumers are being asked to check batch numbers and not consume the affected salmon, which was sold 200g and 500g vacuum packs.

The recall was a precautionary measure after test results for a single sample in the affected batch suggested it contained listeria. Read more here.
