My enthusiasm will even be larger if the result will be reasonably usable by people without coding skills 😀

I would just do this with one of the existing great data import tools for Wikidata! No need to write a script in my opinion? Unless learning to write such a script is a goal in itself...?

@Aklapper Thanks for your quick reply! It is a request to create a project in Phabricator I guess (I'm still trying to get familiar with the workflows and culture here).

How about this for a start, replacing the text in the 'Getting Involved' block on the Wikidata homepage?

In 2014 someone already worked on this, here are their notes:

@MelodyKramer Ah, that makes it more clear! I'm attending the hackathon on a scholarship from Wikimedia Nederland, and I will already write a report for that, on the chapter's wiki. I can write it in English and in lively blog style, so that my text can be easily re-used. I will also shoot and include photos!

Do we all collaborate on one single blog post? If so, some co-ordination may be needed :-)

Can we do a short brainstorming session about this at the hackathon?

I have experience creating short demo videos about Wikidata. Will bring my recording equipment to the hackathon (= my laptop and headphones with integrated microphone).

Great! Thank you so much :-)

Thanks for the example! It is handy in case of single queries, but what about checking many values for many Wikidata items at once? I have created an actual example / use case of a dataset that I'm currently working with and that is a typical workflow for me. See the example here.

Hi Tom, thanks for the quick reply! I know and use these functions, I actually mean something different: give me the specific value(s) for one specific property/statement, rather than all statements as happens in WIKIDATAFACTS.

I have fiddled with maps quite a bit via the query engine and I work on internet projects in the Dutch cultural sector, so I'm chiming in with some tips from both sides. In order to make maps with 'our' Wikimedia-data useful and attractive for external parties, I would add the following (incomplete!) suggestions. In a 'I Want A Pony' spirit...

Great idea. When you are at the point where this needs testing by external partners, I'll be happy to help approach some.

I am extremely unfamiliar with Phabricator. Might this be turned into a separate project?

I’m not going to the hackathon but will be there on Wednesday and would love to attend this.

Yes, the upload is finished indeed and the domain can be delisted.

Hi @Dereckson, you are correct - there are also images for the upload on lh3, lh4, lh5 and lh6.
Good to know that it's a Google Cloud server and I understand you want to be careful with this. I think we will be uploading till early October. Is that OK?
