Dear all,

We are happy to announce that Wikidata is one of the 100 winning projects of the “Germany – Land of Ideas” competition 2015. With your support, Wikidata now even has the chance to win the Public’s Choice Award!

At the moment, Wikidata is on rank 15. We need to be among the first 10 to enter the next round and win the Public’s Choice Award. Voting is open for you until 23 August.

The information about the competition and projects is available in English[1,2], but the voting process only in German. But fear not, it’s very easy to vote anyway:

1. Please go to the Wikidata voting page: https://www.land-der-ideen.de/ausgezeichnete-orte/preistraeger/wikidata 2. Click the yellow button on the right ("Jetzt abstimmen"). 3. Type in your email address and tick the box to agree to the voting rules. 4. You will receive a link via email. Click the link within 24 hours. 5.

Please help us spread the word and thank you for supporting Wikidata.

Nicole
