Hello everyone,
I'm happy to share with you the upcoming Wikidata event *Data Quality Days
2022 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022>*,
taking place online on July 8th to 10th. Following up on previous and
similar gatherings (Data Quality Days 2021
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2021>, Data
Reuse Days 2022
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Reuse_Days_2022>), this
event will focus on *processes around data quality*, and will provide a
space to bring the Wikidata community and the Wikidata development team
together. During 3 days of presentations, workshops and facilitated
conversations, we will discuss how we are currently *identifying and fixing
incorrect data on Wikidata*, how we could improve these processes to *increase
data quality*, and what *concrete measures we could put in place together*,
with policies, tools or documentation.
The event is open to everyone, no particular knowledge or experience
needed, and will take place on the open source video conference platform
Jitsi. On the event page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022>, you
will find some useful information, the list of sessions, and the list of
participants

The program of the Data Quality Days 2022 is curated by the organizers (Léa
Lacroix, Lydia Pintscher and Manuel Merz). *Until June 19th, you
can propose a presentation, a workshop or a discussion topic
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022>*.
These will be selected and grouped by the organizers, and the final
schedule will be ready around June 27th.
If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, or if you need support to
propose a presentation, feel free to write on the talk page of the event
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022> or

We're looking forward to discussing with you again about data quality!
