Hi there folks,
Hope this email finds you well!
As part of our year-round training offfer, and because Wikidata is one of
the most often-requested skills, I wanted to let you all know that we've
got x2 *Introduction to Wikidata* training sessions coming up in February.
*Why & how to add data to Wikidata*
Monday 9th February, 18:00 - 20:00 UTC

*Make your first query on Wikidata using SPARQL*
Monday 16th February 18:00 - 20:00 UTC

Both these events will be held on Zoom, and are aimed at those who are just
starting (or indeed who would like to refresh) their Wikidata journey. Our
trainer is *Dr Martin Poulter*, and there'll be time in both sessions to
practice your own edits and queries respectively.
Hope to see you there!
All the best,
Sara
