(This is a follow-up to some questions that were asked during hte Wiki Loves meetup at Wikimania)
== Mass contacting participants (or a subset of participants) == There are two methods I know for contacting the contributors to a competition: * MassMessage https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MassMessage allows messages to be sent out to the talk pages of a list of users. * Massenmail https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Technik/Skin/Benutzerskripte/massenmail/en a short javascript by DerHexer to send mass messages using the "email this user" function. It adds a button to the sidebar Tools section which triggers an interface where you enter the list of users, a topic, content and if you want a copy.
== Wikidata Migration == For teams interesting in mapping their data to Wikidata the starting point is Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Status. Click on the link for your country in the "maping tables" column (@Deror that is il_(he) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/il_(he) for you) to start mapping. See e.g. the mapping for Iran https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/ir_(fa) as an example or give me a shout if you have any questions.
If your data is already on Wikidata then please also take a look in the table to make sure we are aware of it. André Costa | Senior Developer, Wikimedia Sverige | Andre.Costa@wikimedia.se | +46 (0)733-964574

Thanks a lot, Andre! This was a question that indeed came up yesterday, and also has come up over the past years several times.
If someone uses this extensively, I would invite you to document it a bit (including examples what are helpful WLM-related messages etc) - I think it would be helpful to other countries too. Please let me know if you'd be willing to do some documentation there.
Lovely, everyone!
Best, Lodewijk
