Announcement: September 10 Zoom Webinar
Wiki Credibility Tech Demo Hour
The WikiCred grants initiative was launched earlier this year with a focus
on information credibility/reliability and new tools on open-knowledge
platforms like Wikipedia and Wikidata.
The Demo Hour will be held on September 10th at 12 pm EDT where 6 of our
grantees will demo their Wikipedia projects. You can register for the
online event here

WikiCred is a grants programme managed by the Credibility Coalition, Hacks
Hackers, members of Wikimedia DC, and other groups. We support research,
software projects, and Wikimedia events that explore information
reliability and credibility in the Wikimedia space and the overall online
information ecosystem.
So far, we have funded 12 projects over 3 rounds of funding. You can find a
full list of the projects here <http://wikicred.org/#projects> or our own
blog <https://misinfocon.com/search?q=wikicred>. Projects range from
strengthening credible vaccine content on Wikipedia to automating the
additions of references to Wikidata.
6 grantees will join us to present their work for 5 mins each followed by a
Q&A from the attendees.
Let me know if you have any questions about the project or the event.
