Hi folks,

This past Sunday WikimediaNYC had the opportunity of training on Wikidata, courtesy of user emw. His slide presentation is here:

http://www.slideshare.net/_emw/up-and-running-with-wikidata

His nutshell summary: Wikidata is a way to bring structured data to Wikimedia projects.

Although I knew a little about Wikidata already, his presentation and personal revelation ("I almost never edit Wikipedia now; all my editing is on Wikidata") convinced me that I have to be more active  on Wikidata (at least now I know how to begin being more active).

So I'm wondering whether there are any GLAM projects that regularly undertake Wikidata editing/integration as part of their activities.

Other suggested activities from WM/NYC meeting are listed here:

If you've never done any Wikidata, I highly recommend the Wikidata Game:
