Wikidata report
Federation and new datatypes
By Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing)
GLAM news
- Five years ago, the development of Wikidata started!
- Data donation: Songkick have donated a datafile with 155K of their Songkick artist ID (P3478). ~55K are already matched, and the rest are in Mix'n'Match, awaiting your kind attention.
- Combining Forces with the Wikipedia Universe - by Songkick, about their data donation
- The Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC) helps unlock millions of connections between scholarly research, on WMF blog
- Newest WikiProjects:
- can you face the #100wikidays challenge on Wikidata? It's aptly named #100wikidatadays. It is a personal challenge in which a person very significantly improves (at least) one Wikidata items per day, for 100 days in a row. There was already a version of the challenge on various Wikipedias, on Commons and on Wikisource - now on Wikidata as well. Participate and make Wikidata shine!
