• Created Wikidata item {{Q|22110609}} and the article Lincoln University Entomology Research Collection
• Performed [https://tools.wmflabs.org/author-disambiguator/ author disambiguation] on Entomology Department authors, including Rowan Emberson, Mike Bowie, John Marris, and Graham Osborne, to make the publications in Wikidata use the author Wikidata item, instead of a name string.

• Created {{Q|77858144}}

• Uploaded 255 scanned negatives from the Blackmore Collection to Commons as Category:Photographs_by_Ron_C._Blackmore: a mixture of building projects, class photos, University staff, and official visits during Blackmore's time as Visual Aids Officer, 1947–1966. About 70 photos added to subcategories of Buildings of Lincoln University, supplementing the ones newly-added by volunteers.

• Photos were used to illustrate Wikipedia articles on agricultural lime, fertilizer, wheat, barley, disc harrow, List of agricultural machinery, and seed drill, which together have about 70,000 readers a month. All these articles need substantial improvement and would be good Wikipedia assignments to set Lincoln students.
• Improved Wikidata, article, and added image for {{Q|7795172}}

• Lincoln University (New Zealand) had received in 2019 [https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=this-year&pages=Lincoln_University_(New_Zealand) 28,263 page views] (a daily average of 86), and had had 12 edits by 9 editors. It was a 14.4 KB, C grade article. There were currently articles on Lincoln University in 11 language Wikipedias.
• {{Q|Q1048626}} had 14 identifiers and 12 properties (and was using the wrong logo)
• Category:Lincoln University had 14 images, most just of one earthquake-damaged building
• 41 Wikipedia pages cited sources from at Research@Lincoln, and 13 linked to content at Living Heritage (source: Deborah Fitchett)
