Good day
I am hoping that someone here can kindly assist me. I was at the Wikidata conference this past Saturday, which took place at the Code for Africa offices.
I would like to ask if someone could kindly send me a summary (in laments terms) on what Wikidata is, and how could an organisation/individual can benefit from being part of the initiative.
What does it mean to be an Editor and how can one join?
Thank you so much and I look forward to your response.
Kind Regards,
Zanele
Thanks for coming on Saturday! I guess the elevator pitch could look as follows: By learning to become a contributor to the Wikimedia projects https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_projects, one will have the opportunity to collaborate on an international scale, apply and internalise scientific methodologies, and improve ones media competency.
Specifically Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page, it would include: Having access to Big Data for free and leveraging its potential to further smaller wikis of indigenous languages.
Best, Reuben
