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.
