Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
This is the Wikidata summary of the week before 2024-06-24. Please help Translate.

Events

• Past: The 200th online Wikidata meetup in Swedish was held.
• Upcoming: Lexicodays, online event dedicated to Lexemes on Wikidata, will take place on June 28-30. It takes place across time zone and both in English and Indonesian. Check the program and find the access links on the event page.

Press, articles, blog posts, videos

• Blogs: 20th Century Press Archives – history in newspaper clippings, made accessible by ZBW and Wikimedia. The blog discusses how ZBW and Wikimedia collaborated to digitize and make accessible the 20th Century Press Archives, integrating its metadata into Wikidata items and providing fresh access to 3.8 million digitized pages from raw microfilm1.

Tool of the week

• Wikidata in Prometheus - Prometheus is a non-commercial image archive for art and cultural studies. It hosts images from a variety of image and media databases and now works can be connected with Wikidata.
• New Mix'n'match feature: For lists of (full or auto) matches where both the MnM entry and the Wikidata Item have coordinates, it now shows the distance between them in the description. (source)

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• The Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland is planning a brief survey to understand the various ways people contribute to the project and identify user contribution patterns. A request has been made for a CentralNotice banner to deploy the survey to a broad audience. Your feedback, comments, and questions on this request are welcome: m:CentralNotice/Request/Wikidata Community Survey 2024
