Hi there folks,

Just to let you know that the video from Martin's Wikisource Transcribe-a-thon is now available to view here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Event:WMUK_Sandbox_Sessions/Wikimedia_projects...

We've got one more Sandbox Session coming up before the end of the year, and then one in January!

On Wednesday 10th December, we'll hear from Lucy Moore, who'll be talking about Wikimedia projects and smell-related content: *Wikimedia projects and smell-related content: ideas on where, how, and why to add it*

*Mulled wine and oranges, the piney scent of indoor spruce, cloves and other spices … no it’s not a description of a new scented candle, but some of the smells that come to mind for people who celebrate Christmas in the UK! Join editor Lucy Moore a Seasonal Sandbox Session to explore how smell-related information can enrich Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata!*

*The session will involve a short introduction to why olfactory experiences are essential for human knowledge, as well as demonstrations of how to add scent and smell to Wikidata, and ways to incorporate it into Wikimedia Commons. The session also includes open time for editing, using either a suggested list or your own ideas. Incorporating smell-related data is not widely used across projects yet, so there’s lots of potential for new ideas and contributions. Interested?

She got interested in smell in 2023 and has been promoting its inclusion in Wikimedia projects since then. You can see her describe some of her editing here https://www.tiktok.com/@wiki_lucy.
