To: african-wikimedians@lists.wikimedia.org
Greetings, everyone –
Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours/Wikidata_Working_Hour_Summer-Fall_Project_2023 to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it 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, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.
The third Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover adding the books from our bibliography of diverse LIS resources https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YZjaD5l9hZPLiGRx6oqS7-dwy_d3M3-FDtJyy3plcWo/edit#gid=0that we created in our 1st session to Wikidata as both works and editions. We will learn how to use Zotero, the reference management software, and its browser plugin https://www.zotero.org/download/connectors to automatically extract metadata for articles and convert them to a Wikidata format that can be batch uploaded using QuickStatements.
To get a sneak preview of what we will be doing, you can learn more about the Wikidata & Zotero link here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Zotero.
Date and time: Friday, September 15, 2023 at 8:00am PT / 11:00pm ET / 15:00 UTC / 4:00pm WAT / 5:00pm CEST / 8:30pm IST (Time zone converter https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1694790009)

Subsequent Working Hours will cover webscraping for data in the PAWS environment, adding authors and publishers manually into Wikidata, batch editing using OpenRefine, batch editing using the LINCS tool, using the Author Disambiguator tool, and analyzing and visualizing data with SPARQL and Scholia.
This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page.
