Hello everyone,
My name is Ifeatu https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ifeatu_Nnaobi_(WMDE), and I'm writing to introduce myself as the Product Manager for the Wikidata and Wikimedia Projects team.
The Wikidata for the Wikimedia Projects team is a new team at Wikimedia Deutschland (WMDE) that wants to provide structured data support to other Wikis in the Wikimedia movement. The team is part of the Linked Open Data (LOD) group at WMDE. It will work closely with Lydia Pintscher (Portfolio Lead Product Manager for Wikidata) and other LOD team members to establish sustainable structures to support collaborations between Wikidata and the other Wikimedia projects.
I joined the team in June 2023, and current team member Danny Benjafield (Community Communications Manager) and I are exploring ways to build tools and features in a community-centred way. This means learning about existing initiatives between Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects and examining new insights into fostering Wikidata integrations that are collaborative, multilingual and provide high-quality data for projects of different shapes and sizes.
My background is in interactive media focused on queer, feminist, and migrant narratives. As someone from the global majority, it's imperative to contribute to improving Wikidata's ability to accommodate diverse ways of knowledge contribution and consumption.
As the new team settles in, our big task for the year is interacting with community members from various backgrounds and perspectives to understand what makes collaboration between Wikidata and Wikimedia projects challenging. Please stay tuned for our announcements on how we will do this.
In the meantime, please email me (ifeatu.nnaobi@wikimedia.de) or leave a note on my Meta Talk page https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Ifeatu_Nnaobi_(WMDE) if you already have something to share.
Thrilled to be here,
-- Ifeatu Nnaobi *(she/they)* Product Manager, Wikidata for Wikimedia Projects
