I'm Sara, I live in Scotland, I'm mostly interested in heritage & arts work on Wikidata.

I can also be found at user:Sara Thomas (WMUK) in the day job, as Programme Manager for Wikimedia UK. This is my volunteer account. :)

If you're here because you're looking at any of the editing I've done around The Archers, please drop me a line! I'm interested in looking at networks in fiction (although of course it's a documentary), and teaching myself various workflows by looking at that dataset. It's messy, but interesting - I'd like to look at modelling things like locations in which characters have resided (getting this data could be very difficult), and linking actors to different dramatic works. I think there's something in here about mapping radio / tv work for the industry, and about continuity development of long-form drama.

Stuff I'm working on, queries I'm figuring out

I figure stuff out and keep my notes on this page, right here.

OpenRefine

In my work life, I'm currently taking part in the OpenRefine Train the Trainer course. I'm keeping some stuff & things associated with that here.




Other stuff

Here's some links that I find useful and will likely want to reference in the future:
