Some of you may have not yet embraced Wikidata.  **All* of you know others
who haven't. :)*

This is another opportunity to hear my "Gentle Introduction to Wikidata for
Absolute Beginners" talk (a version of which I gave at the Wiki Indaba in
Accra last month).  It will also be recorded and available on YouTube and
Commons afterwards.

This will take place tomorrow, in about 16 hours.  Details below.

Cheers,

   A.
