Fwd: Contacts in Croatia and Bosnia&Herzegovina?
by Željko Blaće 24 May '20

24 May '20

Hey folks - I am forwarding this email to the list after discovering that central GLAM contact email does not work. Can someone suggest an alternative? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Željko Blaće <zblace(a)mi2.hr> Date: Mon, May 11, 2020 at 8:13 PM Subject: Contacts in Croatia and Bosnia&Herzegovina? To: <glam(a)wikimedia.org> Hi! I am interested in starting a GLAM related mailing list in Croatia and Bosnia&Herzegovina, so I wonder if you had any previous contacts from these two countries? also what would be the procedure to make a mailing list? I have been a professional in culture for 20 years and have few people interested to join into this, but would not want to step on someone's foot if there is/was already an existing effort that failed to find.

[Article] Detecting Wikipedia articles strongly based on single library collections
by Olaf Janssen 22 May '20

22 May '20

Hi, This week I wrote an article about detecting Wikipedia articles strongly based on single library collections. https://github.com/ookgezellig/KB-Wiki-Stats-Graphs/blob/master/stories/Det… I illustrate an approach to detect Wikipedia articles whose contents are fully or largely based on content from a single online source, such as a full-text digitized newspaper archive or a digital text library. Using Dutch Wikipedia I tracked down 247 articles that owe their existence to Delpher and DBNL, two full-text collections operated by the KB, the national library of the Netherlands. This approach might be relevant for GLAMs that have digital text collections used by the Wikipedia community for creating articles.
