Diversitech - Wikimediauk-l

19 Dec 2018

      Dear all
ContentMine, the Cambridge based organisation which some of you will be
familiar with through WikiFactMine and/or their other initiatives, has
submitted an application to the Wikimedia Foundation for a new
project, *Diversitech.
*This will apply text-mining techniques to a multilingual corpus of LGBT
articles, to help improve the quality of related Wikimedia pages and
Wikidata. Wikimedia UK will be supporting the communications aspects of
this project, if the grant application is successful.
Please can you consider adding your support to the funding bid, if you
think that this is a good initiative? It's on wiki here:

Many thanks
Lucy
