Hi, everyone –

We are writing to say that the fourth session of our Starting a Wikidata Project series, originally scheduled for March 18, will not be presented as a live session due to unforeseen circumstances. Instead, we are inviting you to an asynchronous community Slack conversation using the materials prepared for that session by Eric Willey, but welcoming your online participation to complete the experience.

Information and questions will be posted in our #wikidatahttps://ld4.slack.com/archives/CGS1Q2WP9 channel in the LD4 Slack Space at our usual starting time on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 5pm CET (Time zone converterhttps://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1742313600). The topic of this session is Reporting Your Outcomes and Results, the grand finale to this exploration of how to have a brilliant experience with your Wikidata project. This topic brings the journey full circle, complementing the first session which was about how to bring stakeholders at your institution onboard with your project; this session examines how to show those stakeholders what you and your project have accomplished for your institution.

We hope you'll join us. We'll provide Eric's questions and ideas for some helpful resources. You'll provide great suggestions and discussion. We'll add your thoughts from the Slack interchange to the series project page for this sessionhttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Affinity_Group_Calls/Starting_A_Wikidata_Project#Session_4_(March_18)_-_Reporting_Your_Outcomes_and_Results so that future community members starting their first project will have a good place to look for inspiration!

Looking forward to our discussion!

There will be an intermission in our programming in April as we prepare our next project series. Please stay tuned for announcements in the next few weeks.
