I've been surprised by the success of this 7 min animation on Dewey
codes, from the Finnish libraries (kirjastokaista.fi):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF342znnAsM
It's been on the front page of YouTube in Finland for several days now,
even as top 1 trending video. It reached 200k views and counting.
As far as I know, no "serious" video on Wikipedia or other Wikimedia
projects has reached such a virality. (Although I see a Stephen Colbert
and an alltime10s video with 1M views each.) Maybe we can learn
something from it?
The video is part of a series by this Tuomas Toivainen:

Dear Ms.,
I thank you for your answer. I think that Mr. Andy Mabbett can give interesting Wikimedia and Libraries presentations http://pigsonthewing.org.uk/glam-wikipedia-qrpedia-amsterdam-hamburg/. His main field of interest is GLAM. However, his works can be applied to Libraries. I met him when he attended WikiArabia 2014 in Tunisia. He was an excellent inspiration for us when we created Tunisian Wikimedia GLAM section.
Yours Sincerely,

Thanks for sharing the ARL whitepaper Merrilee. I've shared it with my colleagues in the national library of the Netherlands, to foster awareness op Wikiata.

Hello everyone! Just a quick update on Structured Data on Commons deployments.
You may have noticed that we haven't deployed Depicts statements yet yesterday, and this is due to an unrelated bug.
The release has been rescheduled to upcoming Tuesday.
Cheers! Sandra

Unfortunately the release was blocked by an unrelated bug [1], and must be rescheduled. Releases are not done on Fridays, so the team has \rescheduled for Tuesday, 23 April from 15:00-16:00 UTC [2]. I'll continue to keep the community posted as release approaches.

Hello everyone,
One of the major additions of structured data to Wikimedia Commons is
arriving later this week: Depicts statements! See Keegan's message below
for more details and links.
With regards to visual arts, library and archival documents, and
specifically faithful representations of two-dimensional works and
documents: I would advise *not* to use the Depicts statement there, but to
wait for other statements to become available on Wikimedia Commons in
several weeks.
A separate property for that purpose has been created on Wikidata some time
ago: P6243 (digital representation of)
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6243 - and it will only be possible
to use that in several weeks.
Depicts is probably appropriate for other cases though: in the case of
photographs of buildings, people, objects...
These are only rough first pointers. Modelling structured data on Commons,
and establishing best practices in that area, is - just like on Wikidata -
up to the community.
Many greetings! Sandra

Greetings,
(This message is also posted at the Commons Village Pump, and the SDC talk
page)
The Structured Data on Commons [0] team plans to release support for
depicts statements this week, on Thursday, 18 April. The community's
testing over the past several weeks [1] helped identify and fix issues
before launch, and the development team spent time setting up extensive
internal testing to make sure the release goes as well as possible.
This release is very simple, with only the most basic depicts statements
available. There is a significant amount of technological change happening
with this project, and this release contains a lot of background change
that the team needs to make sure works fine live on Commons before adding
further support. More parts to depicts statements, and other statements,
will be released within the next few weeks.
A page for depicts has been set up at Commons:Depicts [2] As I can't
actually write instructive Commons policy or guidelines, I encourage those
who have tried out simple depicts tagging add a few lines to the page
suggesting proper use of the tool. I also encourage the use to be
conservative at first, as we wait for more advanced features within the
coming month or two as additional statement support goes live.
I'll keep the community updated as the plans progress throughout the week,
the team will know better within the next day or two if things are
definitely okay to proceed with release.

Hello everyone,
I'm a new Wikimedian in Residence as part of the Linked Data for Production project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=104568167>. One of the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and leverage Wikidata as a platform for publishing, linking, and enriching library linked data. A number of institutions that are part of the grant are working on projects involving Wikidata and we decided to start an interest group with biweekly meetings to discuss various aspects of Wikidata in support of the projects. Possible topics include Wikidata best practices, documentation, communication channels, policies, and tools.
At each meeting, myself or a guest will present some relevant material related to the topic and we’ll discuss any issues members have encountered as well as helpful resources. At the first meeting on April 23rd, we’ll talk about the purpose and goals of the group as well as the Wikidata related projects that are part of the grant.
I'd like to invite any interested to join us. The call details and communication channels are below. Please feel free to share the invitation.
First call details:
April 23, 2019 9am PST / 12noon EST / 5pm GMT / 6pm CET
