Re: [Wikidata] Presenting the new EveryPolitician Community manager :)

[Luca Martinelli]

Hi all, first of all thank you for your supportive feedback. :)

I’m already at Wikimania, and I’m really looking forward for a chat
with you all. :) If you’re not attending, please do feel free to
contact me anyway, I’m always available for discussing new ideas!

I’m also writing to clarify just a couple of questions I and other
team members have been asked about the scope of the EveryPolitician
project and what you'll see from me in the coming months.

Our job is to make life easier for all Wikidata editors, so we are not
planning on bulk importing data from EveryPolitician, rather we have
some theories about how make our life easier in some ways, including:
* better documentation (e.g. data models [1], examples, new tools);
* reports on potential mistakes and errors in data;[2]
* "prompts" to compare external sources of data (including
EveryPolitician) to data in Wikidata to help editors make informed
decisions about when data might be out of date.

These are the things currently on our road-map, but we hope you will
tell us if there is something additional which would make your life
much easier! We're eager to listen!

We will work with country editors wherever there is demand to improve
political data. Some of you have already reached out, which is
fantastic, but if we didn’t find each other yet, be bold :) and write
to us! We are always looking for people to share their experience of
what has worked and what doesn’t in a particular local context, as
well as to try out early versions of the tools.

So, see you around at Wikimania and/or in our user talks! :)

L.

[1] A lot of work on documenting data models has happened in
individual countries already so our main work will be helping to find
people who have already been working on this and documenting these
together somewhere where people can find them easily. Again, please
reach out!
[2] For an example of what we mean by reports, see this Head of
Government mission we ran recently:
https://medium.com/mysociety-for-coders/help-us-find-the-offices-of-heads-of-governments-across-the-world-4558124bcd24
- there are many more where those came from.

[Wikidata] Presenting the new EveryPolitician Community manager :)

[Luca Martinelli]

Hi everybody! I'm [[User:Sannita]], probably you already saw me around
as an admin and contributor, but today I'd like to introduce myself as
the new EveryPolitician project Community manager. :)

EveryPolitician is a mySociety[1] project, currently funded by
Wikimedia Foundation,[2] that aims to integrate data from the
EveryPolitician project[3] and/or other reliable sources, as well as
to come up with a suitable structure within Wikidata to encourage
consistency of modelling of political data.

My main task will be to involve people to become active on Wikidata,
to learn how to use the various tools we already have (from gadgets to
external tools such as QuickStatements, Mix 'n' Match, PetScan, and so
on) and to actively reuse data from the project to build New Fantastic
Tools™.

So, if you're interested in sorting out electoral/political data from
your home country, or define data models to help other users compiling
this kind of items, or you have an idea about how to visualise data,
just {{Ping}} me, and I'll be glad to help. :) We're also planning
events to add, fix, enrich and reuse data - the very first will be
held in London after Wikimania, and I really hope to come back to you
with more info ASAP.

Also, I'll be around at Wikimania all week, so feel free to tap me on
the shoulder if you wish. :)

Thank you and hope to see you around soon!
