Hey Lea,
Glad to hear that, I'm up for this and I would like to organize a Wikidata event in India. Please let me know how can I get the necessary resources like Wikidata swags, Organizer ID Card etc. Link to my Wikidata User: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Amit_gkp
I look forward to hearing from you.
Regards Amit Kumar Jaiswal

Hello all,
As you know, Wikidata's fourth birthday https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday is on October 29th, and during one week, we will celebrate it IRL and online with several events.
*IRL events*
A meetup will take place in the Wikimedia Deutschland's office *in Berlin, on November 4th*. You can meet Wikidata editors, celebrate the birthday, discover new tools, play board games and eat a piece of cake! If you want to come, please add your name here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday/Events/Berlin.
You can't go to Berlin? That's not a problem, *you can organize your own event* where you are! Find some other Wikidata editors or supporters, and create your own meetup. You don't need to organize something complicated, only choose a date, a place (bar, public location, etc.), and invite other people to join. If you need any advice, I'll be happy to help. Please add your events on this page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Fourth_Birthday/Events.
*Community stories*
This year, instead of a long editorial, we would like to collect several *short stories from the editors*.
You want to participate? One of these questions may help you:
- How did you start editing Wikidata?
- *What is your coolest project achieved on Wikidata?*
- What task are you the most proud of?
- Or what interesting failure you encountered and what did you learn
from that?
- What was your favorite community moment on Wikidata?
The format can be anything you want: short text, blog post, comic strip, video...
You can either post in on a subpage of your userpage, elsewhere on the web, or send it to me by e-mail. I will link the stories on the birthday page.
The deadline is *October 28th*. If you have any questions, need ideas, please come to me! Thanks a lot,
