I'm giving a workshop on the state of my WiR work on Tuesday at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, 10 to 1 pm. This is an internal event there, but I have learned just now that there are places available.

The title is "Wikidata and ScienceSource: open critical bibliography for medicine on the Semantic Web". It assumes no prior knowledge of Wikidata, but as you'd expect from the venue will have a slant towards tropical diseases, more particularly neglected tropical diseases. New software will be shown. I think it would be a reasonable introduction to both Wikidata and WikiCite, and what sort of traction they are getting. It is hosted by a librarian at the LSHTM.

If you'd like to attend, please let me know offlist, by Monday morning. Happy to answer questions about the programme.

Charles
