Hello everyone ππΌ In celebration of *International Women's Day* (March 8) and *Open Data Day* (March 7β13), communities around the world are coming together to enrich the global open knowledge ecosystem. This year, we invite you to join our collaborative* International Women's Day 2026 Datathon <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/Events/International_Womens_Day_2026_Datathon> *on Wikidata, running from *March 8 to March 14, 2026*. [1] Why Your Contribution Matters
*Everyone can participate!* Whether you are an experienced editor or a newcomer, we invite you to celebrate women by helping us link and fill critical gaps in data. This datathon is about more than just editing; it is about building a stronger digital presence and creating a dedicated space for women within the open knowledge movement. By *linking data*, we ensure that the achievements of women are not isolated facts but are connected to a broader web of history, science, and culture. Every connection you create acts as "data sewing"βstitching together disparate records to reveal a more complete and inclusive global story. β¨*How can you participate?* - *Prepare*: Log in to your Wikidata account or create a new one. - *Learn*: If you are new, take a quick Wikidata Tour to learn the basics. - *Register*: Click the *"Register for event <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:RegisterForEvent/3273>"* button at the top of our event page.[2] - *Contribute*: During the event, help us create or improve items related to women's history, achievements, and biographies. *Ready to start?* Please visit the event page to register. If your community or user group would like to officially collaborate, we would love to have you on board! Letβs work together to link data and bridge the gender gap in information. For any questions, feel free to reach out on the *WikiProject India <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:WikiProject_India>* talk page.[3] π± *Try Mobile Editing!* Did you know you can now contribute to Wikidata directly from your phone?
