Relationship with Wikipedias[edit]

What contributions can I post and how? What is the relationship with Wikipedia? Razbibriga (talk) 12:04, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Razbiriga! Wikidata has become somewhat of the "back-end" of Wikipedia if you will. The interlanguage links on the left side of Wikipedia articles are handled by Wikidata, and that's why you will see that you have made some edits here already – when you moved those pages on the Simple English Wikipedia, their corresponding Wikidata items had to be updated, and that luckily happens automatically.
In Wikidata items we store many facts or statements about the subject of the items. These are reused in many language Wikipedias, and can also be used by entities outside of the Wikimedia universe. I don't know how much it is used in the Simple English Wikipedia, but in many other Wikipedias much or even most of the content in the infoboxes come from Wikidata. You can for exapmel check out the article no:Joseph Haydn in my home Wikipedia (Norwegian Bokmål), everything in the infobox on the right there is taken directly from Wikidata. So what is done here has a potential for reuse in many different languages.
As for how to contribute here, I suggest checking out some of the links in the welcome message, there ary very many different things you can do. :-) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 12:17, 8 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Riksadvokaten[edit]

J'Acusse! Du har laget et nytt WD oppslag på vår nye riksadvokat. Det er det sikkert en god grunn til, men hvilken? --Trygve W Nodeland (talk) 14:55, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Trygve W Nodeland: Enkelt og greit fordi han ikke hadde det fra før (med mindre jeg har oversett noe, da?). Ikke noe mer enn det. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 14:58, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Jo, med svette barnehender hadde jeg laget et oppslag med hele navnet! Vel, jeg får knyte nevene i lommen og tåle det!--Trygve W Nodeland (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Trygve W Nodeland: Aha, så jeg slo deg til pønsjen! Nå var jeg så frekk at jeg fjerna den siste endringa di også. (Norges riksadvokat er et verv/en stilling i Wikidata-sammenheng, mens beskjeftigelse er mer generelt.) Jon Harald Søby (talk) 15:04, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Jeg forstår det, men da blir det meningsløst! Det hjelper ikke at det ikke passer i systemene deres, han er ikke advokat! Han er utdannet jurist, har vært advokat, men innlevert bevillingen for lenge siden. Nå er han utnenvt som Riksadvokat, og skal vi ta folkeopplysningen på alvor må vi uttrykke oss med et minimum av nøyaktighet. --Trygve W Nodeland (talk) 15:13, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Trygve W Nodeland: Aha, dette kan du så klart mye bedre enn meg. Men da setter vi ham som jurist i stedet. Jon Harald Søby (talk) 15:15, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Done it!--Trygve W Nodeland (talk) 15:30, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nyhetsbrev fra Wikimedia Norge[edit]

Wikimedia Norge
Wikimedia Norge

Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, here is our newsletter for November 2019.

During one week of October, Giellavahkku, the UN International Year of Indigenous Languages was celebrated all over the country. Wikimedia Norge was recently granted money from the Sámi Parliament's language funds to create an education program in cooperation with the Sámi University of Appliec Sciences and the University of Tromsø for students to contribute to the Wikipedia in Northern Sámi, or to contribute Sámi content to other Wikimedia projects in general. We have also been granted money from Fritt Ord to put Sámi place names in Wikidata, in cooperation with the Norwegian Mapping Authority. You can read more about this work on our blog.

The jury has finished its task for this year's Wiki Loves Monuments, and the 10 winning photos that go on to the international part of the contest have been announced on the winners page on Commons. Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks a lot to all contestants and jurors!

Here's an overview of Wikimedia Norge events happening in the next few months:

Bodil Biørn and women's invisibility in history
On the 11th of November, Wikimedia Norge and the National Archives of Norway invites you to an event at the National Archive from 17:00 till 19:00. History has often been written by and for men. This is reflected in archives, history books, and on Wikipedia. Why is it important to make source material showing women's perspective on history available? The event is free and open to all. Welcome!
Meet-up at Litteraturhuset
On the 28th of November, Wikimedia Norge invites you to a meet-up at Litteraturhuset in Oslo from 18:00 till 19:00. Ruth Vatvedt Fjell will be presenting.
Fjell, who is quite interested in curse words, is a professor of lexicography and cares about how language can maintain unbalanced gender patterns. Wikipedia is a huge knowledge base where anyone can contribute. Therefore it's right to ask what the type of language we use means for how knowledge is disseminated?
The event is free and open to all. Welcome! Tables in the bar have been reserved from 19:00 for those who wish to continue the discussion there.
Deadline for applying for wikigrants
The 20th of November is the deadline for applying for wikigrants. You can apply for getting expenses related to contributing to Wikimedia projects covered.
Dissemination of Retriever accesses
Also on the 20th of November, 6 accesses to Retriever will be disseminated to active Wikipedia contributors who could use this tool to write articles.

Did you forget to pay your membership fees for 2019? You can always re-register on this page.

Please follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
