WANZ photography grant
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, and 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. There's still more to do. Most of the sackbut article does not reflect modern scholarship on the instrument and should be reduced, cited and corrected, and probably moved back to the history section of the main trombone article.
- I've managed to get quite distracted with brass band instruments, and working on getting tenor horn, baritone horn, tuba, flugelhorn, cornet, and euphonium articles up to GA and eventually FA status.
- 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, but also rare or unusual (often Italian) grape varieties, for example Sagrantino or Corvinone.
- Conifers. I'd like to start work on some favourite and familiar species, starting with getting Pinus radiata up to GA/FA. I'm waiting for a couple of rare books to arrive first.
- Hooking things up in Wikidata.
- Contributing photos to Commons.
- Buffing references and citations in general wherever necessary.
