Milestones

Week 1 (08/15 - 08/21) - Complete

Before our first meeting, please make sure you have done the following:
  •  Create a Wikidata account
    • Consider whether or not you want to use a pseudonym or a version of your real name. Remember that all Wikidata contributions are public and saved indefinitely, including mistakes. Using a pseudonym is a good idea, but it's not required. It's possible to change your username later..
    • Associate your account with an email address. Other editors will be able to send emails to you, but your address will *not* be publicly visible. Email is the only way to recover an account should you forget the password.

Week 2 (08/22 - 08/28) - Complete

We're all editors! Now when you see something that isn't correct on Wikidata, go in there and fix it!

Week 3 (08/29 - 09/04) - Complete

If the WikiProject of your dreams does not exist, that's okay! We can work on creating one.

Week 3 (08/29 - 09/04) - Complete

You will receive a certificate of completion for this course. We will email this certificate to you which you can connect to your LinkedIn profile. We hope your employers take note of the initative you ahve taken in completing this course.

We hope that you will continue to edit Wikidata and be active in the community. If there is anything we can do to support your editing, always feel free to reach out. Check back regularly to discover new course offerings. As interest in Wikidata grows we will continue to offer workshops and courses on all of the amazing things you can do with Wikidata.

Thanks for all of your hardwork and for participating. Stay in touch!

Ian and Will
