''' Weekly Tasks '''
Hi Courcelles, you asked several of the candidates to initiate the identification process. I'm a bit confused. It doesn't appear to me - although it's hard to tell given the back-and-forth among the arbitrators and others - that anyone has been officially appointed yet (subject, of course, to identification). Also, as an aside, it looks like HJ has already had his identity confirmed<s>, although I can't tell ''when''</s>. Thanks for clarifying.--] (]) 22:04, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
* Add labels, in your own language(s), for the new properties listed ].
:The motion to appoint folks is going to carry in two more arb votes. At that point, I will confirm the appointments to the Stewards over at Meta. You will then get the flags, after identifying. So, everyone should get the paperwork done now to save people work in a day or two. ] (]) 22:10, 30 March 2015 (UTC)

::All done. Even received a very friendly acknowledgment. (I struck the when part in my first comment because it does show when, just like any diff).--] (]) 00:17, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

''"The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Misplaced Pages articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."''
** by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). ''"The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."''

Discussions

  • Open request for oversight: Ameisenigel (RfP scheduled to end at 6 January 2025 21:52 UTC)

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

  • Papers
    • Library Data in Wikimedia Projects: Case Study from the Czech Republic by Jansová, L., Maixnerová, L., & Š´tastná, P. (2024). "The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Misplaced Pages articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."
    • How have you modelled my gender? Reconstructing the history of gender representation in Wikidata by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). "The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."
  • Videos: Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Data Science Course - First Practical Session: Wikibase-CLI Tool (part 1, part 2) by Saeed Habishan. "The Wikibase-CLI enables command-based interaction with Wikidata using shell scripts and JavaScript. The tool runs on NodeJS and enables automatic reading and editing of Wikidata."

Tool of the week

  • WikiORA - is a tool designed for gene over-representation analysis. It integrates data from Wikidata, Misplaced Pages, Gene Ontology, and PanglaoDB to help researchers identify significantly enriched gene sets in their data.
