How to enroll

This person participated in the
Wikidata contest Coordinate Me 2024.
{{User CM24}}

For each of the focus countries there is a Dashboard where you have to enroll with your Wikimedia user account to contribute to that category. You can enroll in multiple Dashboards in order to contribute to more than one category. Once you are enrolled, your edits to Wikidata items with a coordinate location (P625) in the chosen country during the competition are tracked in the Dashboard automatically. You don't necessarily have to change the geocoordinates, other changes to the item also count!

You can participate in every category from all over the world. At the end, all your contributions will be added together across all dashboards. The 30 users who have changed (or created) the most items overall win the competition.

Categories – the blue buttons below link directly to the Dashboards:

Rules

  • The competition takes place from Wednesday, 1 May 2024, 00:00 UTC until Friday, 31 May 2024, 23:59 UTC.
  • You need to be logged in on Wikidata with your user account (if you don't have one: create a Wikimedia user account).
  • In order to participate, you have to join at least one Dashboard.
  • You can participate in one or more than one Dashboard (country category).
  • You can enroll at any time during the competition. All of your relevant edits within the time frame of the competition will count, including in retrospect.
  • The objective of the competition is to accumulate the most points.
  • You earn points by editing Wikidata items which have coordinate locations and are connected to the focus countries.
  • Only data collected in the Dashboards are taken into account when calculating the score.
  • Bots are excluded from participation but you can use other editing tools.
  • The score is calculated, and the results announced, about two weeks after the competition.
  • You must allow other users to email you in your preferences so that we can reach you if you win a prize. You can collect your prize until the end of June 2024.

Scoring

  • The score is calculated based on the Items Edited metrics in the Dashboard(s).
  • 1 edited item (including newly created items) = 1 point.
  • Since recent edits can take some time to appear in the Dashboards, interim results of all participants will be evaluated and published on the Results page every week.

Prizes

The prices are vouchers for online shops and are provided by Wikimedia Austria. Each of the 30 winners will receive a voucher for 150 euros.

The selection of the online shop is by Wikimedia Austria in consultation with the respective winner. Employees and contractors of Wikimedia Austria are allowed to take part in the competition in their volunteer capacity, but are not entitled to the voucher prize.

Workshops and local meetings

There will be a series of workshops on Wikidata for beginners in Spanish, French and German.
