Hello all,

As you may know, Wikidata’s 10th 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.

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.

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, 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,
