Hello, everyone – We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Session on Tuesday, April 28, 2026 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone converterhttps://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1777392000). QuickStatements is one of the most widely used tools in Wikidata, enabling users to upload and edit large volumes of structured data efficiently. Originally developed by Magnus Manske, the tool has become essential for institutions, researchers, and volunteers working with open data. The new QuickStatements 3.0, developed by Wikimedia Brasil with support from Wikimedia Deutschland, introduces a modernized interface, improved performance, and new features shaped by community input, making it easier than ever to contribute high-quality data to the Wikimedia ecosystem. If you missed the first session of the series on the history of QuickStatements, the development of QuickStatements 3.0, and its features, you can check out the recording (on YouTube)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkd_W_K2CEQ. The session on April 28th will be more hands-on and will be a further opportunity to ask questions.
