Working Hours:

Join us for a collaborative hour of editing and Wikidata practice. We will provide a project for the hour, and you’re always welcome to bring your own projects to work on. This is a space for community and skill-building. We welcome your questions and your expertise about all things Wikidata. Subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google group for an announcement of the next working hour.

Upcoming Working Hours:

• (today!) Friday, October 30, 2020 at 11:30 am PDT / 2:30 pm EDT / 18:30 UTC / 8:30 pm CEST (Time zone converter)
• Sarah Kasten has put together a fun Hallowe’en-themed program involving WITCHYDATA, so please join us. We will be adding items to Wikidata related to podcasts on witches and witchcraft. As a continuation of the last Working Hour, where we focused on adding the Goodreads identifier to Wikidata items, we will pay special attention to adding identifiers to our new entries and see how they help us use the Entity Explosion browser add-on by Toby Hudson.
• Monday, November 9, 2020 at 8am PST / 11am EST / 16:00 UTC / 5pm CET (Time zone converter)

Take care and hope to see you soon!
