Hi everyone,

Now is a good time to start information about our cultural heritage to Wikidata. Not everything is possible yet, but we can at least start with the simple things that need to be done anyway:

• Have items for every monument article and list
• Add claims to every monument article (P31) and list (P360) linking them

to the article about the local cultural heritage (example: Rijksmonument)

• Add country (P17) to all lists and articles

Some things that are also possible (but not in all countries yet):

• Add the identifier
• Add the type of building
• Add the administrative unit (state/province/municipality, etc)
• Image
• Commons category

To keep track of this, we created https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/** Wikidata:Cultural_heritage_**task_forcehttps://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Cultural_heritage_task_force. Who wants to help out? You don't need to be a bot or a wikidata wizard, just start with looking up the article about cultural heritage in your region. You can see several examples in the list.

For bot owners: I'm using a claimit.py . It's in the rewrite branch of Pywikipedia. You can use it to mass add claims to Wikidata. For example for the lists of Rijksmonumenten: claimit.py -catr:Lijsten_van_**rijksmomumenten -namespace:0 P360 Q916333
