Hi Aidan,
With Tassos and Rossano, we have a similar project (same name in fact). You
can check-it out here: www.wiki-atlas.org, maybe we could exchange some
experiences about it.
Best,
Diego
Hi all,
Benjamín, in CC, is an undergraduate student who has been working on a
system and interface called "Wikidata Atlas". The system allows the user
to search for different types of entities (with geo-coordinates) on
Wikidata and visualise them on a world map.
The system is available here:
https://wdatlas.dcc.uchile.cl/
(A query I found interesting was "nuclear weapons test (Q210112)", for
example.)
Feedback is very welcome!! To help us to evaluate and improve the tool,
we would be very grateful if you could fill the following quick survey:

Hi all,
I just ran across this advertisement<https://blog.reputationx.com/wikidata> for a personal and business branding/reputation repair (?) company that offers advice on creating your own wikidata page for self-promotion, and offers services including "Wikipedia Creation for Business", "Wikipedia Editing for Business", Wikipedia Creation for Individuals", and "Wikipedia Editing for Individuals" in addition to Wikidata editing/creation. Does this align with Wikidata/Wikipedia's policies on self-promotion? It seems like an avenue for people/businesses who are willing to pay to get themselves improved visibility and reputations on Wikimedia platforms.
I didn't know where to send this, but thought the Wikidata community ought to at least be aware of it.
Thanks,
Crystal Yragui, MLIS

Hi all,
Francisca in CC is an undergraduate student who has been working in the
past few months on a new template-based Question Answering (QA) tool for
Wikidata called Templet, which is available here:
https://templet.dcc.uchile.cl/
We would be *very* grateful if you could help us to evaluate and improve
the tool by answering the following quick questionnaire that Francisca
has prepared (should take only a few minutes):
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeuqtS8jbTOXFNsnVwTEYf_vk2zXPHj8Fo…
Templet is based on questions from QAWiki (http://qawiki.org/), which
anyone can add questions/queries to. But QAWiki is perhaps a subject for
a follow-up email later. For now we would be very grateful for your
feedback on Templet itself via the survey linked above. :)
Best regards,
Aidan & Francisca
Hi all,
The next Research Showcase will be live-streamed next Wednesday, December
14. Find your local time here <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1671039024>.
The title of the Showcase is, 'A year in review from the WMF Research team:
Tying our work to the research community.'
The Wikimedia Research community is key to tackling the many strategic
challenges of the Wikimedia movement. As we are ending the year, the
Research team will reflect on why working with the community is important
to us. We will share the initiatives, tools, and resources developed
throughout 2022 to bring the community together, facilitate researchers’
contributions to the Wikimedia projects, and encourage a diversity of
research questions.
YouTube stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0ss9ckUlvQ
You can join the conversation on IRC at #wikimedia-research. You can also
watch our past Showcases here:
