*Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.* Events <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Events>
- Join the global m:WikiForHumanRights <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights> Campaign by participating with WikiProject Human rights <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Human_rights>. The campaigns is focused on increasing coverage of human rights topics on Wikimedia projects through January 30. - Upcoming: Online editathon in Swedish <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Swedish_online_editathon> 1 December - Past: ProWD <http://prowd.id/>, a tool for PROfiling the multi-dimensional completeness of WikiData, was presented at the K-CAP 2019 conference <https://dblp.org/db/conf/kcap/kcap2019.html> on Nov 21, 2019 in Marina del Rey, USA. Using ProWD, one may compare, for example, the completeness of computer scientists by nationality and sex <http://prowd.id/#/profile/compare/68>. The slides are available by clicking this link <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12aMPGVjUa8w1E8ckb_ErR8dEABEWrurKQMlelmjvbHw/edit?usp=sharing>. The ProWD developers are welcoming any feedback! - Past: WikiTechStorm in Amsterdam. See the videos of the sessions <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Techstorm#Live_streams>, including a lot of Wikidata-related introductions - Past: Wikidata Zurich Hackathon <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Wikidata_Zurich_Hackathon2019%7C> - Past: Wikimedia Tech Talk: Wikidata, behind the curtain <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWqKyC7gt0s>, by Ladsgroup Press, articles, blog posts <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikidata:Press_coverage> - Die Datenlaube <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q61943025> launched diedatenlaube.github.io - a collection of blog posts, links and scripts around "wikidatafying" the big German Wikisource project Die Gartenlaube <https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Die_Gartenlaube> (in German). Tool of the week - Cradle <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/cradle/#/> enables editors to create a new item by completing a form. You can create a new form on the Cradle <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Cradle> help page. Cradle forms can be used as templates to ensure that similar new items are structured the same way. This can be especially helpful for specific WikiProjects or datathons, and is a great timesaver if you are creating many similar items by hand. Other Noteworthy Stuff - 570k VIAF identifiers <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P214> have been added to Wikidata items in an effort of synchronisation between the two databases, thanks to Bargioni. In order to report errors in VIAF an apposite page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Authority_control/VIAF_errors> has been created. More information here <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P214#Recent_synchronisation> . - Query Service lag now affects maxlag. You may need to retry/reset error multiple times when you run QuickStatement or OpenRefine in busy hours. - Wikidata now documented more than six million <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:Search/haswbstatement:P31%3DQ5> people, more than the number of articles in English Wikipedia -
