Welcome to Wikidata, Jsamwrites!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

  • Introduction – An introduction to the project.
  • Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
  • Community portal – The portal for community members.
  • User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
  • Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
  • Project chat – Discussions about the project.
  • Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards!

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter

1
MediaWiki message delivery (talkcontribs)
This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:

Newsletters Galore
We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.
Growing Strong
The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.
Wikimania Talks
Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.
Content Creation Magic
Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
Campaigning hard
We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen

PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.

Bonjour,

Je viens de voir que tu as contribué à beaucoup de marche LGBT dans le monde sur wikidata. Je te remercie beaucoup.

Par contre nous n'avons pas tout à fait les meme méthodes.

Je mets Q51404 en P31 et toi en P279...

J'avais formalisé ma méthodologie sur la page de projet : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LGBT/Models/pride

Sans supprimer ton travail j'ai corrigé/fusionné une partie de tes contribution et je vais essayer de les continuer.

D'avoir des données plus uniforme permet de faire les cartes comme sur le site http://grimoire-electronique-mogai.fr/ou-dans-le-monde-participer-a-une-marche-des-fiertes/

Cordialement

Good morning,

I just saw that you contributed to a lot of LGBT walks around the world on wikidata. Thank you very much.

On the other hand, we do not have quite the same methods.

I put Q51404 in P31 and you in P279...

I had formalized my methodology on the project page: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LGBT/Models/pride

Without deleting your work, I have corrected/merged some of your contributions and I will try to continue them.

Having more uniform data makes it possible to make maps as on the site http://grimoire-electronique-mogai.fr/ou-dans-le-monde-participer-a-une-marche-des-fiertes/

Cordially

Jsamwrites (talkcontribs)

@Silanoc Merci pour les modifications (libellés, fusions,...) et les corrections. J'ai utilisé P31 pour décrire les marches des fiertés particulières (Marche des fiertés Lyon 2022) et j'aime aussi la proposition de P361. À l'avenir, je n'utiliserai que la P361.

Merci encore pour ta contribution. Elle améliore la visibilité des marches des fiertés dans le monde.

Cordialement,

Hey Jsamwrites, I've been adding a few articles and adding all of the works they cite. I found that you've created quite a few; however, there's a minor error. arXiv classification (P820) is intended to be a qualifier under arXiv ID (P818). Other than that, the data looks great! --~~~~

Daniel Mietchen (talkcontribs)

Thanks both. I have opened a ticket for this.

There is a proposed fix on the Scholia end, and your review would be appreciated.
