Wanganui's online profile needs a facelift and Mike Dickison is calling for volunteers.
The curator of natural history at the Whanganui Regional Museum has set up the Whanganui Wiki Wednesdays group. His intention is to gather a group of keen people to help edit and create Wanganui-related Wikipedia pages.
"They are all a bit sad really. There's big gaps," Mr Dickison said.
Wikipedia is an online free encyclopedia written and edited by the public and Mr Dickison said its importance was often underestimated, given that it is likely the first port of call for tourists or anyone interested in finding out about the area.
"It's the first Google result for just about everything and will continue to be. It's a super-important thing and people have kind of ignored that fact."
