Hello all,
As you may know, Wikidata went live for the first time on October 29, 2012, allowing thousands of people to create items, populate the wiki and create the amazing free knowledge base that we know today. On Wikidata's 10th birthday, we would like to address many thanks to everyone who has been involved with Wikidata over the past years: long time editors and fresh new contributors, people carefully curating the data and the ontologies, people creating tools, people reusing the data, people adding content in many different languages, people advocating for Wikidata in various places, and many others whose contribution made Wikidata what it is today.
Now is time to celebrate! Here's what you can do to participate in the celebration:
- Write a message on the birthday presents & messages page, where you will also find the gifts that some people prepared for the Wikidata community and a message from the development team - Join one of the many events organized by local Wikidata groups, onsite all around the world or online. You can for example join one of the Wikidata online meetups taking place at 08:00 and 17:00 UTC on Jitsi. - Read some articles that were published for the occasion, and watch the collaborative birthday video showcasing Wikidata community members from all around the world - Join the discussions on social media using the hashtags #WikidataBirthday and #Wikidata10.
Happy 10th birthday Wikidata, and thanks for being part of this amazing project!
Cheers,
