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,
--
