Greetings to all of you.
As you may be aware, we have commenced an 11-day Wikidata data-thon in
collaboration with the celebrations of Wikidata's 11th birthday in India,
starting today. As a part of this data-thon, we have listed some of the
tasks on the event page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/Events/Wikidata_Eleventh_Birthday>[1]
you can engage with to enhance the information within Wikidata. (The tasks
related to this data-thon are not fixed. You can choose your own preferred
tasks and be part of the data-thon.)
We have a set of tasks designed to be completed at specific intervals,
occurring once every 11 days. Today, we have a minor task
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/Events/Wikidata_Eleventh_Birthday/list#Day_based_specific_tasks>[2]
at hand, which involves adding the *original language of film* and *title *for
Indian origin films that are missing this information in their respective
Wikidata entries.
We kindly request you to take a moment to visit the event page and
participate in the datathon by including your name in the participants
section if you haven't already done so.

Dear Wikimedians,
Greetings to all of you.
As you are aware, Wikidata is celebrating its remarkable journey as it
marks its 11th birthday, reflecting on the remarkable transformation of the
past decade.
These birthday festivities span a wide array of events taking place both
online and offline across the globe
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Eleventh_Birthday/Events>,
attracting participation from Wikimedians, data enthusiasts, and open
knowledge advocates. Through activities such as edit-a-thons, workshops,
and meetups, these gatherings serve as a unifying force for contributors
and open data enthusiasts.
To celebrate Wikidata's 11th birthday, we've organized a series of
thrilling events and activities in India.
*Datathon*
A *11 day long Wikidata data-thon* is planned to celebrate Wikidata's
11th birthday in India.[1] The data-thon is organised to celebrate the
birthday of Wikidata along with learning how we can contribute to Wikidata
and make use of it in different Wikimedia projects.
The data-thon aims to enhance Wikidata items by incorporating labels and
descriptions in your native language, along with the addition of
references, qualifiers, and statements. Additionally, it encourages the
utilization of India-related properties within these items, ultimately
contributing to the improvement of structured data in Wikidata.
To stay updated and get involved, please have a look at the event page

and join the datathon by adding your name in the participants section. The
page also provides details about the tasks and activities scheduled as part
of the datathon.
