Talk proposals

The road to a quarter of a Million edits.

• Presenter Name: Maximilian Klein
• Talk Length: 20
• Talk Description: As much as you think Wikipedia has a lot of information, there is an order of magnitude more bibliographic data. Part of this database can be usefully linked to Wikipedia - and Wikidata - in a meaningful way. This the story of, and lessons learned from, Max Klein's attempt to link Authority Control data with Wikipedia as part of his Residency with OCLC. A vision is sketched out for a linked data bridge between Wikipedia and GLAMs.

11. Exploring partnerships: India and UK Noopur28.

12. GLAMs focussed on Africa or with African contents. Many institutions around the world have a rich documentation related to Africa; providing those contents to Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects can foster their visibility and facilitate their access (schools, intercultural and multicultural projects, diaspora, migrants, Africa). --Iopensa (talk) 09:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
