LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group: Next Wikidata Working Hour Friday, October 14th

by Hilary K Thorsen

Hi everyone, The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr…> has been offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr…> to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by adding data about diverse children’s books<https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statist…> from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, love children’s books, or have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The eighth Wikidata Working Hour in the series will be batch loading data using OpenRefine to create items for works and editions in Wikidata. You do not need to have attended the previous Wikidata Working Hours in the series to attend this one. If you would like to review any of the recording/material from the previous sessions, you can access the event pages on our series project page<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr…>. Date and time: Friday, October 14, 2022 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 7:00pm CEST (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1665766857>) Zoom link to join: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/98925562258?pwd=OWNpaDZhZ2h4bCtvZWtnajZmZmtKdz09 Password: 532871 Event page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Gr… Subsequent Working Hours will cover uploading batch metadata for the children’s books to Wikidata using Quickstatments, and using SPARQL to query and visualize the data we’ve added to Wikidata. You don’t have to attend every session to benefit from the series, but attending whenever possible will offer the best experience in terms of applying skills and tools to a single data set. We’ll also record the demo portions of each Working Hour, so you can always catch up on anything you miss. To be sure to receive announcements about future Wikidata Working hours, subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google Group<https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ld4-wikidata>.

WHintangible a video contest for UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

by yamen bousrih

Dear All, Wiki World Heritage UG is excited to share with you the details of a new video contest related to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Items listed as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage are very important as they represent our traditions, ethnic lifestyles, and culture. Despite this importance, they are less documented than tangible heritage, and even when documented they are documented in a format that doesn't reflect a clear idea of it(mainly text). Because videos are very good to describe intangible heritage and also because they are very important as a format to be uploaded to Commons and used in Wikipedia, the Wiki World Heritage UG is organizing during October and November a video contest with the theme Traditional craftsmanship: crafts inscribed by the UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The contest aims to collect videos showing different skills and crafts from all over the world and use these videos on Wikipedia. You can visit the campaign page on Commons where you can upload videos: Commons:WHintangible 2022 - Wikimedia Commons | | | | | | | | | | | Commons:WHintangible 2022 - Wikimedia Commons | | | We will be grateful if you could share this within your communities and contribute to spreading the word! Best RegardsYamen
