Hi Everyone,
I am writing to you to inform that the Singapore National Library has opened its doors to Wikimedians to have an activity in their facility and also open to know more about residency programs in Libraries and Archives.
We would like to solicit proposals from you through the regular submissions process at https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Program/Submissions
We are also in talks with the Singapore National Heritage Board who managed the Singapore National Museum and Asian Civilisations Museum. If you also have a program proposal for activities in the Museums mentioned, please have a program proposal and we will be glad to present it to them.
We appreciate the submission of your proposals. Final date of application is March 28.
Kind regards,
Butch Bustria

Hi,
Does anyone here have access to
https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/doi/10.3828/comma.2017.2.12, The
uses of Wikidata for galleries, libraries, archives and museums and its
place in the digital humanities, and would be willing to share a copy with
me?
Bästa hälsningar,

Thank you for elaborating. Hope others join in also.

Understandable. Mind you there are other WiRs in academia and elsewhere (I
am in NGO now) so there are huge differences indeed (can relate to that
easily).

I gave up on absolute coherence in Wikimedia after finding similar (but
also sometimes opposing) info and guidance in different corners on
Wikimedia, so I hope you are not discouraged with this situation, but
rather proactive to help advance and articulate some aspects :-)

I hear you. Wikimedia Foundation Research team work is also done without a
single social science person, but that is hopefully going to change in the
future...

Join the (big) club. Many try to do this in different fields, while those
who already know it also keep expanding their agenda.

I would also love to have us look at this together and come up with a good
way to establish an overview of WiRs across topics and fields (timeline
exists).

Hello fellow Wikimedians!
I wanted to invite you and your communities to participate in a series of
upcoming webinars the Wikimedia Foundation is hosting in collaboration with
the International Science Council examining the combatting of online
disinformation around scientific issues and how the Wikimedia model can be
a tool to share accurate scientific knowledge with the global community.
The first webinar, Managing Knowledge Integrity on Information Platforms
<https://council.science/events/managing-knowledge-integrity/>, will take
place on 16 March at 13:00 UTC and will explore Wikimedia projects as
models for safeguarding the provenance of scientific information online,
including the benefits and challenges of our projects relative to other
models for digital platforms. The second webinar, Building Special Projects
on Wikipedia: The Covid Case Study
<https://council.science/events/building-special-projects-on-wikipedia/>,
will take place on 30 March at 13:00 UTC and will explore how editors and
researchers can mobilize to create content around special themes on
Wikipedia, focusing on the Wikimedia community’s response to the COVID
pandemic as a case study.
You can register and find more information about these webinars at the
links above. Please feel free to share this invitation widely within your
communities and networks.
Best regards,
--
