Hello all,

As you know, Wikidata's 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.

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.

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!
