WikiProject Personal Pronouns<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Personal_Pronouns> was initiated with the goals of establishing and implementing ethical and logical best practices and data modeling for personal pronouns sets to Wikidata items representing human beings and fictional characters. As of September 2025, a new data model and set of best practices have been established as a policy through a successful Request for Comment. These sessions are the project's first steps toward implementation, and will perform data cleanup on just under 7,000 existing statements using P6553 (personal pronoun)<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P6553>. This session <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Project_Series/PersonalPronouns#Session_1_-_WikiProject_Personal_Pronouns_Overview_and_Series_Orientation> will provide a high-level overview of WikiProject Personal Pronouns' goals, past work, and implementation plans. The session will also serve as a practical orientation to the implementation work for this project, ending with a demonstration of the workflow to be used in subsequent sessions. No previous Wikidata experience is needed to participate. This session will be recorded. Call Details:
