Hi everyone, the tutorial was well received though will be much better next time around.. Thanks for your feedback. It is discussed with links to the three sub-presentations that formed the standing and talking part of it here: http://tinyurl.com/swat4ls-wikidata
Thanks again. Its pretty clear the community here needs to evolve a really killer hands-on wikidata tutorial. Not quite there yet, but good progress! We will have to do this again for life scientists in March 2016.. cheers! -Ben On Fri, Dec 4, 2015 at 6:33 PM, Jan Ainali <[email protected]> wrote: > Mine was on purpose Autolist2 to make bulk edits :) > > Short documentation here: > https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Workshop_at_SMHI > > I also remember now that I had prepared a list of Swedes that did not have > P21 (gender), to serve as a first simple edit for each participant.
