Dear Wikimedians!

I’m Danny and I am delighted to join Wikimedia Deutschland as a Community Communications Manager for the Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects team.

Since its inception, Wikidata has been invaluable in reducing the workload and maintenance of countless projects across many languages and as it has grown, the demands on the Wikidata team have increased.
The establishment of this new team will translate to additional dedicated staff to develop and champion that initial goal of Wikidata: promoting the integration of Wikidata into the Wikimedia Projects!

My role as Community Communications Manager is to connect with editors, engage with communities, promote collaboration with developers, foster and encourage the integration of Wikidata with your projects.

Progress only happens with your input!
Communication and community-centric development are guiding principles to Wikimedia Deutschland and our team exists to help you get the most out of Wikidata for your project.
To that end, we will soon be asking for your feedback, requests and starting conversations about how your project can benefit from Wikidata integration!

I just wanted to say hello and am eager to connect with you in the coming months, whether in person or virtually at Meetups, or drop me a message at my Talk page or an email at:
danny.benjafield(@wikimedia.de

Best regards,

--

Danny Benjafield
