Hello all,
As you may know, Wikidata’s 10th birthday
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Tenth_Birthday> is
around the corner, with plenty of local and online events taking place in
October 2022 to gather the Wikidata community.
On top of that, we are working on a collaborative video to celebrate the
10th anniversary of Wikidata and the achievements of the community. In this
short clip, we would like to integrate footage from many people from all
around the world sharing birthday wishes, saying a few words about
Wikidata, and showing places around them.
This is where you come in! You can contribute directly to this project
by *recording
and sending us a video before September 18th*.
You can do it on your own or together with your local Wikidata community.
You can take the opportunity of an upcoming onsite event (for example, a
Wikimania gathering) to record something with more people.
You don’t need a lot of equipment: videos filmed on smartphone are very
welcome. You will find *all the details and requirements on this page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Tenth_Birthday/Celebration_video>*
.
On top of that, if you need support to record a video, or simply if you
want to take the opportunity to gain new skills, we are happy to offer an
online workshop “how to film with your smartphone”, you will find more
details about the workshop on this page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Tenth_Birthday/Celebration_video#Workshop:_how_to_film_with_your_smartphone>
.
Feel free to share this message with your local community and anyone
interested. If you have any questions or need support, please check the
documentation page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Tenth_Birthday/Celebration_video>,
and feel free to write on the talk page. If you have technical questions,
you can also contact Anne, our video producer, directly by email

We’re very excited to receive your videos and to create this celebration
content with you! Best,
