Dear Community,
I shared this research before but wanted to shed light on it again.
Have you already looked at the outcomes of our Knowledge Equity in Linked
Open Data Research
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Summary_of_findings_on_Knowledge_Eq…>?
Users who engage with Wikidata and Wikibase taught us more about their
needs as well as their ideas to foster a Linked Open Data web that holds
space for pluralities of knowledge.
You can learn more about their perspectives and identified opportunities in
this comprehensive presentation of outcomes:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Summary_of_findings_on_Knowledge_Eq…
If you would like to have more conversations about knowledge equity, please
let me know, so I can take note of you and come up with a format in which
we can dive into this together in more depth.
Have a lovely rest of the week!

Dear Community,
here's an interesting event coming up, especially for those of you working
with languages. :-)
This weekend there's going to be the *Wikidata Lexicodays*.
During the event there will be presentations, discussions and workshops for
users that are interested in Lexicodata or work with it already.
In this event, you will learn how to describe and model words in Wikidata,
discover useful tools to edit lexicographical data, and improve modelling
in various languages, with a focus on languages in Indonesia.
The event is taking place online across different time zones.
See event page here:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Lexicodays_2024
Enjoy :-)

Hi,
What are the ways to "use" items from Wikidata on our custom Wikibase in
the cloud? I can see that Federation probably doesn't work for items.[1]
Special:Import always ends up with an error, and QuickStatemets are
probably not suitable for that. Is there a WikibaseImport or
WikibaseIntegrator available for the cloud?
We have items that need to have a value for Wikidata's P131. So it seems to
me that the easiest way would be to import some of the "locations" to our
Wikibase. Dont know if it is a good idea to set URL as a value for P131 and
link it to Wikidata!
Regards,
Jan

Hey everyone,
We would like to learn more about why users choose Wikibase over Wikidata.
We set up this very short and comprehensive survey:
https://wikimedia.sslsurvey.de/Choosing-Wikibase.
Please fill it in when you can.
Thanks so much for your help!
