*Discussions*
- Open request for oversight: Ameisenigel https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Requests_for_permissions/Oversight/Ameisenigel (RfP scheduled to end at 6 January 2025 21:52 UTC)
*Press, articles, blog posts, videos*
- Papers - Library Data in Wikimedia Projects: Case Study from the Czech Republic https://doi.org/10.5282/o-bib/6081 by Jansová, L., Maixnerová, L., & Š´tastná, P. (2024). *"The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Wikipedia articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."* - How have you modelled my gender? Reconstructing the history of gender representation in Wikidata https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/24701475.2024.2431798 by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). *"The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."* - Videos: Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Data Science Course - First Practical Session: Wikibase-CLI Tool (part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTkF1Y5sOPY, part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fpWNtyO9Qg) by Saeed Habishan. "The Wikibase-CLI enables command-based interaction with Wikidata using shell scripts and JavaScript. The tool runs on NodeJS and enables automatic reading and editing of Wikidata."
*Tool of the week*
