Hi All,
Wikidata is a collaboratively edited knowledge base operated by the
Wikimedia Foundation. It is intended to provide a common source of certain
data types (for example, birth dates) which can be used by Wikimedia
projects such as Wikipedia. This is similar to the way Wikimedia Commons
provides storage for media files and access to those files for all
Wikimedia projects. [1]
*Wikidata - The game! *[2] Is a tool that makes editing Wiki Data more fun
and *addictive*. It has three games(modes) which are not really the games
you play on your smart devices :-), these will help you add the following
properties (P) to items:
- sex or gender(P21) [3] --- male or female
- instance of (P31) [4] --- human
And also:
- merge items (currently deactivated)
You can also see your ranking and points won playing the game (while
contributing greatly to Wiki Data) via the Statistics link.
If you want to get started with editing Wiki Data you should try it. Here
are some additional reads on Wiki Data - The Game:

If you have any questions ask, If I don't know it, we both learn something
new together.

Subject: The Ghana Government wants to get closer to its citizens, they
need your help
To:
Dear Concerned Citizen,
The Government of Ghana through NITA <http://www.nita.gov.gh/> is putting
measures in place to introduce some tools through which it will get to
closer to its citizens. To make this as effective as possible, they've put
together a survey with a few questions. This survey shouldn't take more
than 10 minutes of your time.

Let's see how much of our feedback they'll take :)
Best wishes.
Edward

Hi, what is the best template to present your photos on Wikimedia Commons?
On your userpage perhaps? Or I need to build one from scratch?
