Hi Cristina,
I found maps to be very helpful when doing Wikidata editing for a
certain place or area. Here is the map of all 556 things Wikidata
currently has in and around Donostia-San Sebastián:
http://wwwpub.zih.tu-dresden.de/~s5219191/vizidata/#d=0&m=items&l=en&f=false&e=0,278&g=1.2&h=1.2&o=1&p=3&x=-1.921234130859375&y=43.280329674434135&z=12
It is not life data (with the exception of the labels), but it can
give you a first overview of what is already there.
If you click on a dot you can see what's there (in the language of
your choice). It seems that many things there are missing English or
even Spanish labels right now.
The graph at the top shows how many Wikipedias have an article on the
items. You can drag the left boundary of the interval to the right to
narrow the view down to items with articles in more Wikipedias (a
first indication of relevance). There is also one item with 0
sitelinks (it's a company -- spam?).
You can also show maps of all people who are born or who have died in
the city:

There are fewer points but with many more items in each (we don't know
the exact coordinate of birth or death, just the city).

Markus

Hi Wikidatans,
We are organizing a Wikidata Editathon in order to encourage Wikidata
edits about San Sebastián (wikidata:Q10313) and its culture. The
motivation behind the event is that San Sebastián will be European
Capital of Culture in 2016. Moreover, we are organizing this event to
encourage people in our region to edit and use Wikidata.
We will work in teams and we will edit items of different topics (e.g.
music, literature, points of interest related to San Sebastián). We will
show participants the different use cases one can go through in
Wikidata. We will also discuss application ideas and talk about
collaborative systems.
The event will take place in San Sebastián (Spain), on July 3rd, at the
Faculty of Informatics (UPV/EHU). You can find more details (in Spanish)
here:

If anyone is interested in either participanting or helping out, please
let us know. We would be really happy to have you there.
You can write an email to: dssenwikid...@gmail.com
Kind regards,
Cristina Sarasua
