Hola!
Some of you may have not yet embraced Wikidata. **All* of you know others who haven't.* :)
This is another opportunity to hear my "Gentle Introduction to Wikidata for Absolute Beginners" talk (a version of which I gave at Wikimania 2016). It will also be recorded and available on YouTube and Commons afterwards.
This will take place tomorrow, in about 16 hours. Details below.
Cheers,
