Hi Hilary,
I’ll pass on this one, since 5 AM is a bit much, and I do know how to make author items,
so will watch the video. Looking forward to the sessions on OpenRefine and SPARQL.

Hi everyone,
Over the summer and into the early fall the[LD4 Wikidata Affinity
Group](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affi…
will be offering a series of[Wikidata Working
Hours](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affi…
to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by
adding[data about diverse children’s
books](https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-…
from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to
Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive
space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata,
love children’s books, or have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
The third Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover manually creating and editing
contributor (author or illustrator) items: showing how to create items, add statements to
items, add references, and use gadgets.
You do not need to have attended the previous Wikidata Working Hours in the series to
attend this one.
Date and time:Friday, August 5, 2022 at 10:00am PT / 1:00pm ET / 17:00 UTC / 7:00pm CEST

Subsequent Working Hours will cover creating and editing items manually in Wikidata for
publishers, and bibliographic works and editions, uploading batch metadata to Wikidata
using OpenRefine and Quickstatments, and using SPARQL to query and visualize the data
we’ve added to Wikidata. You don’t have to attend every session to benefit from the
series, but attending whenever possible will offer the best experience in terms of
applying skills and tools to a single data set. We’ll also record the demo portions of
each Working Hour, so you can always catch up on anything you miss.
