[Wikimedia-l] Campaigns Office Hour

2020-10-21 Thread Felix Nartey 
Dear Community

It was really exciting to engage with you in our first Campaigns office
hour last month. Thank you to all who took the time to attend and for those
who couldn't, you can join our next office hour coming up later this month.

Our next office hour will be held virtually on 28 October, 2020 at 11:00 am
UTC via zoom.[1]  This office hour will include a focus on what we have
Identified about Audience-based design for campaigns, the WikiGapFinder
Tool and Wikipedia Asian Month.

During our last office hour, you asked a number of questions that we hope
to continue talking with you about; a couple of questions about the remedy
for deciding on prizes, involving partners in campaigns and expanding the
reach of content drives.  You can find the link to the video of the
presentations[2] and learn more about the questions on Meta. [3]


In the past month we presented at the CEE conference [4] and we are happy
to share links of our sessions with you:

   -

   Opportunities for 1Lib1Ref in CEE [5]
   -

   Campaigns in CEE [6]

Hope to see you at our office hour!

Best,

Felix and Alex

Wow, impressive. Thank you for sharing this.

Additionally, I'm very interested to translate this into Macedonian. Please
share details about translation.

This will be very helpful and useful for smaller wikis as we have many
members with little knowledge into Wikidata.

Best,
Toni

Wow, what an excellent tutorial!  The detailed outline is really helpful
for people who just want a reminder of syntax, and the embedded queries are
great for trial and error.

I encourage everyone who hasn't yet learned how to query Wikidata to give
this tool a try, and if you speak a language other than English or Hebrew,
to contribute to translating this excellent resource!

Kudos to Wikimedia Israel for the initiative and execution!

[Wikimedia-l] Announcing the Wikidata Query Service Tutorial

2020-10-21 Thread Revital Poleg 
In 2019 Wikimedia Israel (WMIL) decided to develop instructional material
for the Wikidata Query Service (WDQS). The background for this decision was
that we see audiences to whom we introduce Wikidata become especially
enthusiastic when we present the *Wikidata query service tutorial
 *, which offers quite a
unique feature within the landscape of information services available
today. This enthusiasm often dampens when audiences discover that querying
is not done using natural language but rather requires learning SPARQL.

We believe learning SPARQL is not rocket science, even for audiences with
no programming background. We created a step-by-step tutorial website to
give users an introduction and some basic lessons on how to use the query
service. While WDQS has a great Help section, this section might not be so
helpful to users who are new to Wikimedia platforms. We therefore built the
tutorial website on the WordPress platform which has a more familiar design
to most users. We believe this website will make the WDQS more accessible,
and hope this will be a way to expand Wikidata to new audiences.
Currently the site is in English but we are open for collaborations to add
the tutorial in other languages.
We are also keen to hear feedback from those involved in Wikidata Outreach.

We hope you'll find it useful.
All the Best

[Wikimedia-l] TOR- vs. ŁukaszGarczewski (WMPL)

2020-10-21 Thread masti 

Łukasz,
myślę, ze warto by było, żebyś edytował, w zakresie dyrektorskim, z 
konta służbowego, tak jak pracownicy czyli jednak Łukasz Garczewski 
(WMPL) a nie TOR.


Starzy wikipedysci wiedzą, ale dla czystości edycji myślę, że warto zmienić.
