A map is worth 1000 words
editAbstract/description
editThe aim is to show participants how to find and link OSM relations and wikidata, and then to show rivers and places as maps via the template {{maplink}} to improve the information by the insertion of a map into a wikipedia article. The slides are named WikiconOSMWikidata.odp
What I am hoping to achieve
editParticipants will
- know that this is possible, and be able to ask for help in this task
- perhaps be able to find and edit the openstreetmap relation
- be able to add the OSM relation ID to wikidata
- and, when all is set up, add the map to an article, using the maplink template
Relationship to Wiki skills or to the theme
editEnhance participants wikidata skills and knowledge. Note that the examples will be for Australian pages.

editUsing the Cite Q template brings many advantages. When no parameters are added, it
- links to the author if the author page exists and the publication author has been disambiguated
- links to DOIs or pdfs when they are later added to the wikidata for the publication

Panel session consisting of lightning talks by Wikipedians of some longevity
editAbstract/description
editThe world at large remains in utter ignorance of how Wikipedia and all its many spaces are edited. I propose a panel of 10 speakers, each to have 5 minutes to speak, with the session lasting one hour. The topic each speaker would address is My editing life in Wiki. Each panellist in the course of their talk might consider including
- What was their first edit (on any wiki)
- Areas they have concentrated on and why?
- changes in their editing habits
- influential events/people/experiences
- Negative experiences
I believe we need to publicise (perhaps using this session as a basis for a journal article) the nature of editing. It seems that many people writhing about wikipedia are almost utterly ignorant of what we do and who WE largely are (volunteers, subject to no-one's dictates)
What I am hoping to achieve
edit- (Example) At the end of the session, participants will have learned x, y, and z.
- (Example) After the session, the participant will engage more with Wiki?
