Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce the 3rd edition of the Journée Wikimédia
Culture et numérique
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Journ%C3%A9e_Wikimedia_Culture_et_Num%C3%A9…>
organized by Wikimédia France. This professional meeting benefits from
the partnerships of the Archives Nationales
<https://www.siv.archives-nationales.culture.gouv.fr/siv/cms/content/display…>,
Clic France <http://www.club-innovation-culture.fr/>, and the Institut
National d'Histoire de l'Art <https://www.inha.fr/fr/index.html>.
This edition is remarkable because it will be the opportunity to present
the very first report on open content practices by the GLAMs in France.
We have been working on this project for many months and we are proud to
present it to many cultural institutions and representatives of the
Ministry of Culture.
This report offers an overview and analysis of the accomplished and
on-going open content projects. It allows us to understand the stakes,
the obstacles, the constraints and the benefits of the implementation of
such policies within GLAM. The methodology based on qualitative and
quantitative analysis also allows us to identify future perspectives, a
subject that will be discussed during round tables in the morning.
The morning tracks around the report will lead to interactive exchanges
on the afternoon between cultural professionals about the main phases of
setting up an open content project. We have not translated yet the event
page but I can propose it in French at first:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Journée_Wikimedia_Culture_et_Numérique_2022
The event, which takes place IRL, will be recorded and broadcasted on
our networks by the end of May.
I am available if you have any questions about this project. I will soon
tell you about 2 other projects related to open content and
collaborative practices that we will launch in October.
Cheers,
Xavier

Hi everyone,
The annual *#1Lib1Ref* campaign is inviting librarians, researchers, book
lovers, wikimedians, and any other knowledge enthusiasts to add missing
references to articles, in order to make Wikipedia (and, as a consequence,
all other Wikimedia projects) more reliable, complete, and useful!
The May edition of the 2022 #1Lib1Ref campaign will happen from May 15th to
June 5th and is an opportunity for people in the southern hemisphere
(Africa, Asia, Latin America & Oceania) to participate.
This year we are experimenting with new contribution methods and expanding
the languages on Citation Hunt <https://citationhunt.toolforge.org/>.
During the January campaign, we encouraged contributions on Wikisource and
Wikidata and added 9 new languages from CEE. In this round, we are hoping
to add a new contribution method focused on thematic or topical
contributions (for example: adding references written by people who
identify as women) and adding some more languages from Africa, Asia, and
Latin America. We will keep you updated on how things shape up!
Are you excited about the May edition of #1Lib1Ref? Do you have any ideas
or suggestions on how to invite more people to participate? Would you like
to help organize and promote the campaign in your communities? If your
answer is “yes” to any of the previous questions, you can share your
thoughts with the 1Lib1Ref community via the Libraries (
libraries(a)lists.wikimedia.org) and 1Lib1Ref mailing list (
1lib1ref(a)lists.wikimedia.org), by joining the Wikimedia + Libraries User
Group <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_and_Libraries_User_Group>
on Facebook or by reaching out directly to me at gfontenelle(a)wikimedia.org.
If you're planning to organize an event, join the campaign on Outreach
Dashboard:

Dear all,
Apologies for cross-posting.
Myself and my colleague Sandra Fauconnier are running a survey to help us better meet user needs and expectations for the new Structured Data on Commons extension for OpenRefine, which is in the process of being developed.
It shouldn't take you more than 5-10 mins to fill out the survey and we encourage anyone who is involved in uploading files to Wikimedia Commons and/or editing file metadata there to have a look, regardless whether you're OpenRefine users or not.
The survey is accessible here: https://forms.gle/cneU6GApmVY3c3TC6
In case you haven't heard much about this yet, the survey is associated with this Wikimedia-funded project: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/CS%26S/Structured_Data_on_Wi…
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch by emailing us, or getting in touch via our Talk pages on Meta.
Kind regards,
Lozana
