The goal of this project is to better understand how the use of Wikidata, Wikibase Suite, and Wikibase Cloud both support knowledge equity and create barriers to knowledge equity when people are contributing historically and structurally marginalized knowledge and perspectives.

What is learned in this project will directly inform WMDE product decisions toward removing barriers and better supporting knowledge equity in the Wikimedia LOD ecosystem.

Wondering how you might contribute?

We would like to talk with you for an hour or an hour and a half, or the time you're available, about your experience contributing knowledge using the products mentioned above.

In short, these interviews will be:

• fairly compensated

• recorded and documented (only with permission of participants)

• take place between February 9 and March 29, 2024

• stored on Design Research Services Google drive (until the project ends May 31, 2024, when it will be deleted)

• deleted at any time upon participant’s request.

• summarized for findings (participants will remain anonymous unless otherwise requested)

If you are interested in participating in this project, please fill out this survey

Have a lovely day, everyone!
