I've just had a letter published in Nature! My co-authors and I briefly advocate for biodiversity knowledge experts to contribute not just to #Wikipedia but also to #Wikidata and #WikiCommons. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Ended up going for a walk today, from the Square, down to the He Ara Kotahi bridge, then over it to the urban eels thing at the Turitea Stream, then back to Massey. Photos all the way for #wikicommons.
I should have gone a little further to photograph the Turitea pa lookout.

Ein bisschen schade, dass das #wikiversum auch bei dieser #bibliocon wieder sehr schwach vertreten ist (1x #Wikipedia, 1x #Wikisource, 0 x #Wikidata, #wikicommons sowieso nicht). Schade auch deshalb, weil zugleich bibliothekarische Parallelangebote vorgestellt werden, für die es auch etablierte […]

Since Jan 1st I've been celebrating the start Biodiversity Heritage Library's (@biodivlibrary.bsky.social) new era by adding structured data to their images in #WikiCommons. #BHLTransition
Da in diesen Tagen immer wieder auf Wau Holland verwiesen wird, wollte ich kurz auf die entsprechende Kategorie auf #wikimediacommons #wikicommons verweisen, die bislang nicht allzu viel Material enthält: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wau_Holland

Off to Te Papa today to talk to a staff member and an intern about my Wiki work. I love talking about #Wikipedia, #Wikidata and #WikiCommons and how the suite of Wiki platforms improve access to knowledge.

A botany related follow up #Wiki workshop will be held on 9 December at 3.30pm NZST. We'll be covering creating new species articles in #Wikipedia, changing plant image file names in #WikiCommons & giving links to #Wikidata tools. Anyone can attend!

The Swedish #Nationalmuseum has links to the images on #wikicommons which is great, also in with regard to #citizenscience as it's quite easy to add information e.g. via structured data on commons.

According to @mlpoulter.bsky.social I(*) am a 'Knowledge Philanthropist'.
I like that term very much.
* not just me, but the many #Wikipedia, #wikicommons, and #wikidata contributors!
Hitched a bus to Kelvin Grove today to take photos for #WikiCommons. Walked to Whakarongo and back. Was buzzed by the Luftwaffe a couple of times.
Yesterday at the @digiSberlin conference, the Brücke-Museum Berlin presented its digitization project on Karl Schmidt-Rottluff’s collection of objects from colonial contexts. All objects have been published on #wikiCommons, allowing everyone to contribute and reuse. Usage in wiki projects is […]
Das #Bröhan-Museum #Berlin hat fast 1300 Werke in der @ddbkultur , aber nur 8 (!) auf #Wikidata (https://w.wiki/Fqi3
Auf #wikicommons gibt es ein bissche mehr, wirklich viel ist das aber auch nicht. Falls sich also jemand für Jugendstil interessiert, gäbe es da noch viel Arbeit :-)
#openglam
Help #WikiCommons est-ce qu'il existe des scripts ou outils "clés en main" qui permette d'extraire des métadonnées (catégorie, descriptions) pour un corpus d'images sur Commons (ici, 700 fichiers) ?

Just stumbled over this useful chart on the #SPARQL Query Execution Sequence by @dbeckett . The slides of his talk on SPARQL 1.1 from 2011 are still perfectly accessible online (https://www.dajobe.org/talks/201105-sparql-11/ Many of the external resources […]

@museumsfernsehen Das Bild ist auf der englischen Wikipedia-Seite des Taylor-Swift-Albums platziert und hat dadurch schon über 200.000 Views allein auf dieser Seite (in der letzten Woche durchschn. 23.000 Aufrufe pro Tag), die Bildseite auf #wikicommons immerhin 425 Aufrufe täglich.

Kleiner Hinweis aus der Perspektive der Kulturgutdigitalisierung (und -zugänglichmachung) bzgl. #TaylorSwift s #Ophelia (mastodon.social/@museumsfernsehen/115348... via @museumsfernsehen ). Das Wiesbadener Landesmuseum scheint keine Sammlung Online zu haben. Wenn Taylor Swift […]
As there's the #Wikidata Embedding Project now (www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Embedding_... are there any plans to do the same with commons? That could make search much more effective.
