Wikidata

edit
Donating data to Wikidata

Wikidata is a free, collaborative, multilingual, secondary database, collecting structured data to provide support for Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, the other wikis of the Wikimedia movement, and to anyone in the world.

Editing is the best way to learn about Wikidata and concepts of structured data, so go ahead and start editing!

Add the albums of JUNO Award nominees to Wikidata

edit

Before adding an album to Wikidata, first search the database to see if the item already exists.

  • If the item does not exist, go ahead and create it.
  • If the album already has a Wikidata item, consider adding more statements to it.

Here are some pages that can help:

  • Wikidata - An introduction to Wikidata
  • WikiProject Music - An overview of properties, identifiers, and qualifiers for music in Wikidata

Wikimedia Commons

edit

Wikipedia Commons is a repository of digital material. It is primarily made up of images. If you want to illustrate your Wikipedia article, you need to add it to Commons first. A point to remember:

  • You must have permission of the rights holder to upload, or the content must be in the public domain or freely licensed.
