- Past: Ateliers Wikidata

- Upcoming: Wikimania. There will be several talks and workshops related
to Wikidata. Say hi at the "Ask Us Anything" session for Wikidata if
you're
there.
- Reductionism <http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=324>
Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Which geographic areas do different Wikipedias cover? How does it
compare to Wikidata? Markus has a beautiful answer
<https://ddll.inf.tu-dresden.de/web/Wikidata/Maps-06-2015/en>
- Wikiproject Molecular Biology and AskPlatypus are shortlisted for the
OpenData Award <http://awards.theodi.org/2015-shortlist/> \o/ This is
the award Wikidata won last year.
- Paper on vandalism on Wikidata

Lydia is in touch with them to figure out how to best use the insights for
us.
- Reasonator <https://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/> got some updates:
it is now using external ID formatter URLs, has monolingual string support
and better social network links
Did you know?

- Showcase items <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Showcase_items>:
none. Yours next week?
Development
- Jonas joined the team and Adam is back
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikidata/2015-June/006543.html>
\o/
- Deployed arbitrary access to ruwiki and cswiki
- Machine readable versions (in various formats) of Wikibase entities
will be advertised in their page heads as alternate link. (
phabricator:T96298 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T96298>)
- Fixed property label on item pages not scrolling anymore (
phabricator:T94588 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94588>)
- More work on getting the Wikibase Quality extensions ready for
release. The part doing constraint violation checks should go to
test.wikidata.org next week. The part doing checks against 3rd party
databases will still take a bit longer but is also shaping up nicely.
- Made it possible to create items even when another user is
mass-creating items (phabricator:T103796
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103796>)
- Bene* worked more on making Wikidata work nicely on mobile
- Fixed weird issue with cursor jumping around in sitelink input field (
phabricator:T103489 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103489>)
- Fixed an issue where it was not possible to edit a statement after you
removed its only reference (phabricator:T103603
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103603>)
- Lydia will be traveling for much of July. Expect her to be a bit less
responsive during that time.
