Hello all,
A quick update about the upcoming Data Quality Days: a first version of the
schedule
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022#Sessions>
is published on wiki! As you can see, we will have plenty of interesting
sessions taking place during the event, such as:
- the opening session where you can learn more about data quality and help
us choose the topics we will discuss during the 3 conversation slots over
the weekend;
- a bunch of short presentations of projects and tools related to data
quality;
- various presentations from community members about queries, data
modelling or cross-wiki issues;
- a focus on data quality for Lexemes and on Entity Schemas, with
presentations and workshops;
- several slots for editing together, for example a constraint-athon;
- a fun get-together where we will run quizes and games!
The event takes place online, on July 8-10, and is open to everyone who's
interested in data quality on Wikidata. No registration is needed, but you
can add yourself to the list of participants
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022/Participants>
.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
We're looking forward to discussing data quality issues and processes with
you!
Cheers, Léa

Hello all,
As a reminder, the *Data Quality Days
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022>* is
an online event taking place on July 8-10 and focusing on data quality
processes.
If you want to contribute to the program of the event, you have two
possibilities:
- Add ideas of discussion topics
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022#Suggestions_of_topics_for_the_facilitated_discussions>,
that we will then organize by big themes during guided discussions that
will take place during the event;
- Submit a session proposal
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022#Template_for_session_proposal>,
for example to present a specific topic, tool, run a discussion or an
interactive workshop.
The deadline to propose sessions is *June 19th*. Afterwards, the
organizers will make a selection among the proposals and integrate them in
the schedule. The first program draft will be added on the event page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022> in
the next few days.
We hope that this event can encourage active or occasional editors to talk
about data quality, highlight some important issues and work on solving
them together, so we hope that many of you will propose topics or sessions!
If you have questions, or if you're not sure where to start, feel free to
contact me.
Cheers, Léa

Reuse Days 2022

this event will focus on *processes around data quality*, and will
provide a space to bring the Wikidata community and the Wikidata
development team together. During 3 days of presentations, workshops and
facilitated conversations, we will discuss how we are currently *identifying
and fixing incorrect data on Wikidata*, how we could improve these
processes to *increase data quality*, and what *concrete measures we
could put in place together*, with policies, tools or documentation.
The event is open to everyone, no particular knowledge or experience
needed, and will take place on the open source video conference platform
Jitsi. On the event page
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022>,
you will find some useful information, the list of sessions, and the list
of participants

you can already sign up.
The program of the Data Quality Days 2022 is curated by the organizers
(Léa Lacroix, Lydia Pintscher and Manuel Merz). *Until June 19th, you
can propose a presentation, a workshop or a discussion topic
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Events/Data_Quality_Days_2022>*.
These will be selected and grouped by the organizers, and the final
schedule will be ready around June 27th.
If you have any questions, ideas or suggestions, or if you need support
to propose a presentation, feel free to write on the talk page of the
