COORDI­NATE ME
MAY 2024
WIKIDATA COMPE­TITION FOR GEO­LOCAT­ABLE CON­TENT

COORDINATE ME 2024 is an international Wikidata competition around content with geodata – from villages and hospitals to public art and natural monuments. Its goal is to improve or create Wikidata items which have a coordinate location (P625) property, in all focus countries. Join the competition right away or explore our various tools and resources. For beginners, there are Wikidata online workshops in French, German and Spanish.

The competition starts on 1 May 2024 and ends on 31 May 2024.

Wikidata editors from all over the world are invited to join the project. There are (equivalent) prizes for the top 30 participants, with a total value of 4500 euros. The focus countries reflect a wide diversity, both in terms of their local conditions and their current representation on Wikidata.

Ensure you log into the Nigeria Dashboard with your Wikimedia user account to contribute. Once you are enrolled, your edits to Wikidata items with a coordinate location (P625) during the competition are tracked in the Dashboard automatically. You don't necessarily have to change the geocoordinates, other changes to the item also count!

Categories – the blue buttons below link directly to the Dashboards:
