And what you're doing right here is pretty frivolous, meaningless, doesn't get you any moral points, doesn't get you any kind of ethical credit. This is just you being selfish or self-interested or self-centered, which is from an ethical perspective, from a nobility perspective, eh, we don't really like this. One of the examples I like when I talk about capitalism, which I do a lot, I like to give is Bill Gates, Bill Gates during the 1980s and 1990s, made tens of billions of dollars for himself, and he built this company up and he made a lot of money, and what did we think of him from an ethical, moral perspective, what did we think of him, eh, right. I mean from a business perspective, great businessmen, but from Mother Teresa, Bill Gates not in the same class, she's a saint, he's just a selfish guy trying to make a lot of money. He retires from Microsoft, he starts giving his money away. What do we think of him, good guy, right. And I know how he could get sainthood, right. To get sainthood, Bill Gates would have to give all his money away, live in a tent, and if he could show a little blood, right, if he could bleed a little bit, show a little bit of suffering where it was really bad, that would give him nobility, sainthood, that would make him a hero. Now that is perverse, there's something really crazy about that, right. Creating wealth, eh, giving it away, yeah, giving it all away, oh, absolutely sainthood. There's something perverse about thinking that your life should be in the service of other people, that that's what nobility is, right.  And you know, you're all young, so you're all kind of focused on making yourself better. But in the culture we live in, as you grow older, you will start feeling like, what have I done with my life? All I've done is pursue money and good body and, you know, my relationship and my happiness and stuff like that, there has to be something more, right. There's Mother Teresa over here telling me that that's what I really should be doing if I want to be counted as a good person. And what does that create when you've got a moral ideal up here and you're living a different life? What tension does that create? What do we call the emotion that that creates? You know you should be doing this, but you're not doing it, you're doing something else. It starts with a G, guilt. And you'll notice older people, you know, my age and older, right, they're not quite pursuing their life like you might be right now. They're not quite taking their life as seriously. They're torn from within, they're not very happy generally. And they're torn by this notion that they need to do something else, that there's something that they missed in life because their mother taught them that they should be selfless and they haven't been. Most of us, you know, I'll get in the moment to why I don't think most people are selfish either, but most people are not altruistic. Most people don't sell sacrifice. Most people don't think of others first. Most people don't think. But when we go to the mall, we'll get to thinking in a minute. When we go to the mall to buy stuff, when we go to work to do stuff, we're trying to emotionally, in some way, we're trying to make our lives kind of better. It's not consistent with this morality of selflessness, of self-sacrifice, of, you know, anti-selfishness. So people as they grow up are torn by a feeling of guilt. And I'm here to try to prevent you from doing that, right, guilt, unearned guilt, which this is, is a horrible, horrible thing and unjustified and wrong. So I want to challenge this whole notion that morality is about selflessness.  Because I think that the best way to challenge that is to ask one very simple question that nobody ever asks, and that is, why? Why should I be selfless? Why should I live for other people? Why, why is morality that? Why does that make me good? And there's no answer to the why. I mean, ask your priest sometime, ask your philosophy, whatever, professor at university, or ask your mother. Why? And the answer is always, because some authority said so.  But somebody said so. There's no actually logical reason for why your life is not yours. Why your life somehow has been mortgaged to some other cause, which is what a morality that says that you have to sacrifice implies. Your life belongs to somebody else. When you make decisions, you have to think of other people first. Why? No answer. Now, before I get to what my answer is, I want to ask this question. Why do we care about morality?  What is morality for? What's ethics for? Why do we care about any of these issues at all? And I'm sure in many of your minds are going, I don't, right? But you should. What is morality? Morality is a code of values that helps you pursue your life, that helps you tell what is right and what is wrong. And this is complicated, because life is complicated. It's not always obvious what's right and what's wrong. And I would argue that life is an immense complexity with lots and lots of choices and lots of paths that you can take. And what you need in life, generally, I mean, this is true of science, this is true of every field in human endeavor, what you need is some principles to help you deal with the complexity that's involved. To come up to every decision in life and say, I'm going to start from scratch, accumulating all the data I need to figure out, should I lie or shouldn't I lie, right? Is lying good for me or lying bad for me? And every concrete situation we do that experiment is very, very difficult, whereas if I can prove to you that lying is not good ever, because it's immoral and ultimately I'll show you it hurts you, it's bad for you, then you don't have to think about it every time, you just don't, you don't lie and that's simple. It's a simple, that's called a principle. It's always going to be then, it's always going to help you, so every fork in the road you reach, you know which way to go. Not everyone, we're talking about big questions, big principles. So morality is, if you will, a map to life. It's the principles that guide you in pursuing your life.  You might reach there, but what's the probability that you reach the point? It's low. And now you're going to talk about waste of time and exercise, are you going to waste a lot of time in life trying to reach that point?  What you want is the most efficient way to get to the point you're dropped in to the point where you want to reach and we'll talk about what that point you want to reach is in life. So morality gives you that map, it gives you the principles by which to get to the point where you want to get to. So morality is maybe the most important thing you can make a decision about in your life and whether you believe it or not, all of you have principles about morality. Most of you, most of you have those principles because you've absorbed them from the culture around you, from your parents, from your teachers, from your friends, from books you read, they've just come in, most of you haven't even thought about it. I'm guessing, right? I don't want to insult anybody here. But you haven't really sat down and thought, what's really good? What's really bad? Where do I want to go in life long term? How do I get there? What are the principles that I want to live my life by? Most people never think that they just absorb it from reality, from community, from whatever outside. I want to encourage you today, because I don't expect anybody here to completely accept everything I'm going to say or agree with everything I say. This is the challenge. I want you to take this question seriously. And you do the thinking.   I want you to think about it. I want you to read about it, the same kind of books, right? And make the choices about what map you want guiding you. And I'm going to make my case for what map that should be. But you ultimately have to make the decision about what your map should be. I think mine's the right one, but you have to come to that conclusion. I can't just brainwash you into it. So what I want to argue is that it's meaningless to think about morality in terms of what you should do for other people. That morality is fundamentally about, should be about. Unfortunately, it's not about, but that's a mistake of Western civilization for the last 2,000 years. Morality should be about what you can do for yourself. That the purpose of morality, the purpose of this map, is to help you live life. To help you stay alive, but much more importantly, to help you live the best life that you can live. To make life the best that it can be. To make it fulfilling. To make it exciting. To make it fun. Ultimately, with the end result being, if you do that, if you challenge yourself, if you engage in living life, if you live life to the fullest potential that you have in everything that you do, not just in the things you're going to hear at the conference, but in everything that you do, then what's the end game?  It starts with an H. Happiness. That happiness, your happiness, your individual happiness is the end game. But that there are ways to get there. And that there are many obstacles. And that there are ways to guarantee that you will never get there. So morality should be if morality was conceived rationally. And I'm from the Einran Institute. I believe that Einran conceived of it rationally. She comes from a tradition which goes back to Aristotle of thinking about these ideas with the purpose of this happiness, of this purpose of living life to the fullest.


Hi, my name is Andrew Lee and welcome to the Wikimania session on Wren, a year in review. Wren is the Wikimedians in Residence Exchange Network. We meet monthly to talk about our various activities as Wikimedians in Residence or those working with professional organizations. You don't have to have the official title of Wikimedian Residence and you don't have to be compensated for your work. It's really a network for folks to exchange ideas and experiences on how to better work with external entities and the Wikimedia movement. So typically a lot of us work in the area of glam galleries, libraries, archives and museums but we're not limited to that. We actually have folks who work with universities, with botanical gardens or any types of folks who are interested in memory institutions and cultural heritage. So we hope you'll enjoy this series of talks discussing not only topics you might have heard of like how to run editathons or how to have better impact but also some newer topics, perhaps how to work with Wiki data or how to work with structured data on comments and how to bulk upload content to the Wikimedia projects. So I hope you'll enjoy these and we welcome any feedback that you might have and we hope you'll join us in discussing many of these topics. Thanks a lot. Dear friends, welcome to this very short presentation of the mutually beneficial collaboration between Wikimedia and WIPO. So my name is Florence Levoire, also known as Hunter. In February 2022, I started a part-time pet position as Wikimedia in residence at the World Intellectual Property Organization, also known as WIPO. So what is it? WIPO is one of the 15 specialized agencies of the United Nations. It was created to promote and protect intellectual property and its activities include hosting forums to discuss and shape international IP rules and policies providing global services to register and protect IP or resolve disputes. I administer 26 international treaties on IP matter. But what is more interesting for us Wikipedians is that they make available a general database on the topic and they produce various reports, statistics, indexes, graphics on the state of IP globally and in specific countries. A year ago, WIPO started working with several Wikipedians on a pilot. And the first outcome of the pilot was very, the first outcomes were very interesting. So they decided to go a step further with a long lasting Wikipedian in residence. Me. So in the past six months, I have been working with over 10 teams of WIPO experts to facilitate the reviews of their content on the English Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. All of this has been done online through emails, shared documents, online meetings, but I had the joy to visit them in their office in Geneva last week. The first Wikipedian residence programs were launched in early 2010s and the Wikipedian residence have been numerous since then. And collaboration come in very different shape and forms. So I wanted to share a couple of important elements about my own residency. First, we must say that WIPO is truly an amazing source of information. The content they provide, in particular through their databases and reports, is completely aligned with our work. And a lot of it can be reused on Wikipedian articles to improve them. And the cherry on the cake is that all WIPO publications are under assisted by license since 2017. So it has been particularly easy for me to reuse their content. However, I would note that during my residency, I found out that their website were not under a free license. And the work I did on an article using WIPO website content was reverted and hidden for being a copy viewer. I reported the issue to WIPO and at an amazing speed, the decision was made to change the license of the WIPO website. To put it into CCB, I was informed of this last week, it's very brand new. I should also mention that at the same time, WIPO is conducting several efforts to convince other UN agencies to embrace free licensing for their publication. So hopefully it will become easier in the future to collaborate with UN agencies. Third, to talk very briefly about content, the improvement I made mostly concerned either articles related to WIPO divisions or articles related to IP itself or articles on technological innovation. So topics we have to deal with include, for example, patents, IP policies, cyber squatting, collective right management and so on. It did also include articles such as emerging technology, artificial intelligence, assisting technology, more recently fuel cell vehicles. In some cases, the experts write most of the content to our Wikipedia and I boldly edit them according to our own expectations, and I explain them why. And I can tell you they had no idea how detail oriented we are, it was a discovery for them. In other cases, the WIPO experts try to be editors and my role is to train them and coach them. It's not so easy. And yet in other cases, the experts simply point me to resources and I fully decide what to do with them, what to write. So all of this flows well. There is so much useful content and it is a joy to work with the experts and write to the point without fluff. It's pleasant to have people who understand what the source is and why adding references or articles is something important. So, to conclude, what are the next steps, essentially three next steps. First, we will continue to work on the content for Wikipedia, comments, Wikidata, and hopefully WikiQuote as well. We will also automate the addition of references to WIPO publication to Wikidata. And the third one, we intend to expand the work being done in English this year into French and Spanish languages. So, yes, we will be looking for Spanish candidates for Wikipedia in residence position at WIPO. Stay tuned. Thank you very much for your attention. Hi, my name is Jamie Flood. I'm the Wikimedian in residence at the United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Library. I wanted to go over some of the equity and editing programming, sorry, that we've had over the last year. In 2021, Secretary of Agriculture Thomas Vilsack announced new priorities and strategic goals for the department while reinstating equity training and programming. These priorities include diversity and inclusion, nutrition and nutrition security, and climate change. Since then, NAL's programming has focused on issues of equity related to food and nutrition and land access and loss issues for historically excluded communities. Our key collaborators in our efforts have been from the National Agricultural Law Information Partnership, which NAL facilitates. And our two partners are the National Agricultural Law Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems at Vermont Law School. They've been key players in helping us find research and secondary publications that we're able to use to edit around these topics, as well as providing us with speakers, if not they themselves speaking. Quickly, I do want to say as an aside, if you're interested in agriculture or agricultural law, even if you aren't in the United States, please still reach out. We can connect you with people closer to you if we're unable to help for whatever reason. This year, we have hosted a number of events, probably the most events that we've hosted so far. We have hosted four events this year, and we will be hosting a fifth in September and potentially another one, and we're hoping to do a few more next year. This year, our first event was on Ares Property and featured experts, Mavis Grag of the Forest Foundation and her own company, Areshares, and Francine Miller of CAFS, which is the Center for Agriculture and Food Systems. Ares Property is a key contributor to land loss for African Americans and indigenous peoples on tribal lands here in the United States, but it also affects Latinx folks in the Southwest and families in Appalachia. Ares Property occurs when someone dies without a will, or which is interstate, and they leave land and property to multiple heirs. When this happens, it's often left without a clear title which can affect ownership and leaves families vulnerable to predatory developers who are able to swoop in and for sale of that land and purchase it for a much lower price than it's actually worth. Second, we had an event on food equity featuring the Reverend Dr. Heber Brown III of the Black Church Food Security Network in Baltimore, Maryland, and with him we discussed local food systems and food access as well as food apartheid and the meeting of food and agriculture to Africans and African Americans. As an aside, I do want to say that all of these events have been recorded. We're working on getting those recordings up on our website, but if you're interested, please let me know and I'm happy to share those with you. Our third event was on nutrition security and featured Dr. Sarah Bleich, the director of nutrition security and health equity at USDA. Dr. Maya Moroto from partnership for Healthy America and Dr. Tanya Augers Collins of the National Institute for Health and Lailani Nelson again from CAFs. We discussed the emerging topic of nutrition security and how nutrition and food security is often because of a lack of access to healthy food in particular, not just food in general, and contributes to health disparities across communities, particularly historically excluded communities. And then we also covered what the government, the federal government as well as these nonprofit organizations are doing to address issues of nutrition security. And then finally, we recently had an event on cooperative agriculture featuring Terrence Courtney of the Federation for Southern Cooperatives and Doug O'Brien, the CEO and president of the National Cooperative Business Association. And they discussed the importance of cooperatives for improving land access and as well as access to knowledge, information, training, equipment and capital for those involved. Doug also talked about the procedures that are needed in order to set up a cooperative. I also wanted to go over some of the things we've learned over the past year, which has honestly been a lot. One of the key things we've learned is that great speakers and other educational opportunities outside of just editing really helps draw in more people. By changing up how we offer these events, our attendance has grown from about 60 people to 150 to 180. Focusing editing efforts also makes learning how to edit feel less daunting, and what I mean by that is I've shortened our worklists. I used to create worklists with 30 to 50 articles on them, and now I focus on usually 10 to 15, and that will usually include one to two new articles, but mostly focused on content that already exists. Another aspect of that is including notes around the articles that need to be edited with some ideas of what could be edited in that article, as well as references that could potentially be used in editing that article. I've also shortened our editing training and really base it more on what the audience might be looking for. So when I'm working with students, I focus on writing new articles. When I'm within USDA, I focus on adding citations and doing grammar edits. We've also are seeing Wikipedia as a vehicle for knowledge equity. There are issues for historically excluded communities that aren't well covered on Wikipedia, and I think it's important work that could be done, but it's essential to pull the references for those from a wide variety of sources to fully create the picture of that issue or related issues, if you will. In the coming year, we'll be expanding our collaborations and topics, doing more with air's property and nutrition security and looking to cover topics like climate change, climate environmental justice, urban agriculture and agricultural workers. Please feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much. Hi everyone. My name is Amanda Lawrence and I'm a research fellow in Open Knowledge Systems at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. And I'm also a Wikimedia in Residence one day a week at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society. The centre was established as a multi-institutional research centre in 2021 to study how automation is impacting society, including in news and media, transport and mobility, health and social services. And it's interested in looking at this from a range of perspectives, including data, machines, people and institutions. The centre director was interested in having a Wikimedia in residence, as he, Julian Thomas, as he has a strong understanding of the importance of Wikimedia as a platform across the knowledge ecosystem, and also of the importance of Wikipedia as a source of knowledge, particularly on complex research issues, such as what the centre was studying. The aims of the residency were a bit vague at first, and I must admit it has been hard to find clear guidance on what a Wikimedia in residence role should be. So this is definitely something that we need to have a think about, particularly in relation to research centres, rather than glam institutions, and particularly research centres in the social sciences and humanities. So based on my year of engaging with researchers at the centre, I've come up with around six key aims and outcomes. So a key part of it has been awareness, increasing the awareness and engagement with Wikimedia platforms by ADMS researchers, training, such as editathons and so on, content, the profile of the centre, analysis and exchange. And I'll just briefly go through some of the things that I did as part of those areas. So one of the first things to think about was the profile of the project itself. This itself was a little unsure where and how to set up a project page. So in the end, I went with the glam project and added a page there. I put a disclaimer on my own page. I added a page on ADMS as a centre on Wikipedia so that people would understand where it fitted in the system. I also added ADMS researchers and partners to Wikidata and was then able to do some visualisations with that area. And to do that, I needed to add Australian Research Council grant IDs. So there was a bit of work in just setting up the project itself. One of the key areas that Wikimedians and residents often work on is training. So I ran an editathon supported by Wikimedia Australia in October. We got about 11 people to editors to come along to that and edited 20 articles. So that was good, but it was difficult to engage academic researchers in that kind of basic training. So I then did fortnightly drop-in sessions for about two months and that was much better to be able to have individual conversations with researchers about their projects. A key focus has been on pages and content on Wikipedia. So we set up a page on automated decision-making and a page on digital inclusion because neither of those pages were actually there. And there's been a lot of effort to engage across other pages that already existed such as algorithm, digital divide, crowd sourcing. Even something like domestic violence because technology-aided violence was a key thing that one of our researchers was looking at. Online advertising and quite a few others that we've been looking at and editing over time and supporting the experts in the centre to also edit these pages. It then became more and more aware of the importance of actually presenting Wikimedia as a platform and helping researchers, particularly researchers who are studying the internet, to understand how Wikimedia operates as a platform. In May this year, I ran a seminar called Automating Wikimedia, Open Knowledge, Link Data and Search and involved Professor Mark Sanderson, who's a search engine expert, Liam Wyatt from the Wikimedia Foundation and Professor Heather Ford of the University of Technology, Sydney, who's a Wikimedean and has also just got a significant research grant to look at Australian content on Wikipedia. And then finally, one of the key areas has been knowledge exchange, which I think of as a sort of package of just by virtue of being in the role, opportunities develop kind of off-platform. So advocacy has been a big area. I've supported and contributed to submissions on open access, copyright and online digital safety to the Australian government. I've helped with partnerships with other glam organisations such as ACME that's interested in engaging with Wikipedia more and was also already engaged with the centre. I've done presentations and outreach to other universities that might be interested in having a Wikimedean in residence and developing guidelines for Wikimedean in residences with Wikimedia Australia. And working on projects and plans for the future of many of the researchers at the centre. So that's just a quick overview of some of the things that a research, a Wikimedean at a research centre might think about doing. I hope it's useful. Thank you. Hello, my name is Rachel Helps. I'm the Wikipedean in residence at the library at Wikimedean University. And this is my presentation on why Wikimedeans in residence should edit Wikipedia. In case you're not familiar with paid editing, there's a bit of a controversy over it. But this chart from Andrew Lee's excellent presentation on paid editing from 2014 illustrates that being paid doesn't necessarily mean you're conflicted. You can be conflicted and unpaid and also unconflected and paid. And I'm not getting into that now, but I'm happy to talk about it later. So what's the problem with Wikipedia that Wikimedeans in residence are helping? Well, Wikipedia has these content gaps. What is a content gap? Here's an example. Here's a list of books that have won the Caldecott Award. It's an award for picture books issued by the American Library Association. And you can see that for these early years, there's pages for all of the books, even the honorable mentions. Here's a list of books that have won the Caldecott King Book Award. And you can see that not as many of the books have blue links. The Caldecott King Book Award is an award for children's books written by black authors and or illustrators, also issued by the American Library Association. So this is just an example of a content gap. It's pretty common with children's media that's older for some reason and also for works by people of color. So why does Wikipedia have content gaps? Well, we don't really know why. It's just that no volunteer has written it yet, but we can make some educated guesses. We know there's a contributor gap. Most of our Wikipedia editors are white men who are interested in the internet. And the interest and therefore content created by typical Wikipedia editors doesn't really reflect the literally encyclopedic needs of Wikipedia. And one reason more women may not be editing Wikipedia, according to data feminism, is that they don't have as much time to edit. Another reason put forward by the city anyone can edit, not everyone does, Wikipedia's infrastructure and the gender gap is that the legalistic framework that Wikipedia is based on can be unwelcoming. There is also an interest gap. The ways sort of touched on that the people most interested in the topics that are boring to the current editors are not being written. One interest gap I noticed is that there aren't very many books on fine presses. These are like really nice books that are made with an old-fashioned letterpress. And for some reason those kind of people aren't also interested in editing Wikipedia, but I might be helpful. I'm already working to fill that gap. I made a page on the Come Scout press. And there's also a source gap. New sources kind of cover some topics and not others. And researching topics outside of recent popular culture is a more specialized skill. And also some sources are inaccessible to a typical volunteer. And if you're working in a library, you have access to lots more sources than a typical volunteer. Still speaking on sources, why would the source gap explain the content gap? Well, Wikipedia distills biases present in the sources that we're using, including the lack of those sources. Okay, so back to Wikimedia and Residence. They can and are helping to fill those content gaps. And Wikimedia Foundation has defined these content gaps. They've organized them into categories. They looked at all these studies to sort of figure out what the topics are. And the topics with content gaps that I'm going to be discussing today are cultural background, gender, important topics, and language. And you'll notice important topics. It's just to find the differences and coverages of topics that are of common interest. So we'll come back to that later. Okay, cultural background and gender. This page on Teresa Clybourne was created by Mia Carriello, who had a paid internship with the Smithsonian. She created this page in 17 others and added over a thousand references to various pages. She also created the page Asian Americans Documentary Series and edited many pages on African American culinary experts and indigenous activism. Jamie Flood created this page on Shavonda Jacobs Young and Flood works as a Wikimedia and Residence at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Library. She created this page on Shavonda Jacobs Young, who is the first woman in person of color to be the Undersecretary of Agriculture for Research, Education, and Economics. And I've also done some work on the Mormon culture pages. Actually, not the Mormon culture page itself, but pages like this Mormon fiction page, which there's less of a gap now because I've been doing so much work on them. Here's important topics. Remember, these are just like topics that are important, but no one's done work on so sometimes they're kind of boring. But the discovery and early development of insulin, I think we would all agree this is an important topic that maybe we wouldn't work on in our free time. Jiyun Alex Jung at the University of Toronto, he developed multiple pages on this. And another important topic is workplace exposure monitoring. And John Pisadowsky, who works at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, created this page. Another example is this page on Ashok Gedgill that Mary Mark Ackerbloom has improved extensively. She did some more technical reporting on his research, but I just wanted to highlight this Darfur Stove's project because I thought it was interesting. And I don't often read about sometimes the projects on women that scientists are involved in don't get as much coverage. Language is the next one. Tochi Precious is the Wikimedian in residence at the Mulskin Foundation, Mulskin notebooks. And she translated this page for the jelly masquerade into Igbo, which is an indigenous language in Nigeria. And she also added the Makua language of Mozambique and the Lugoli language of Kenya to the incubator to possibly get their own Wikipedia's. Thank you for watching. Hi, welcome to the Ren year in review for the Met Museum at Wikimedia 2022. I'm Andrew, the Wikimedia strategist. I'm Jeannie Choi, general manager of collection information at the Met. So we thought we'd just give you an overview of kind of where we are with our met work. And Jeannie, you'll tell us a little bit about our history. We started in 2017 when we uploaded over 375,000 of our public domain images to Wikimedia Commons with the help of Richard Nipel or then Wikimedia in residence. And since then, the monthly views of our images on Wikipedia's have gone, they're over 336 million per month. So and it's about represents about 6% of our images that we've contributed have been used in articles. Great. And one of the things that we're doing right now is working with structured data on Commons to add more metadata so that we can make them more discoverable. So one of the things we've been doing is running something like the Met Bot, a Python bot to bring over some very well researched keyword depiction information from the Met API to structured data on Commons. We've done a lot already with Wikidata, but with the advent of SDC, this gives meaningful depiction information to every Commons file, not just objects that are notable enough to be in Wikidata. So what has really helped is to add the Met object idea, unique identifier for every object the Met has and collection information, including the department at the Met. So this allows us to, in the future, come up with a nice browsing or searchable discovery interface for Met files once we have all this information that's there. So another thing we're doing also is adding constituent information, very precise constituent IDs that the Met has as a unique identifier for all the artists in their database. And you can see here in the upper left-hand corner, this is what comes back from the Met API when you actually look up an artwork. It actually gives you the constituent ID from the Met as a unique identifier, the name, the role, and also they are tracking the Wikidata queue number for this and the Getty ULAN ID. So this is great in terms of having all three things here and we're starting to put the Met constituent ID into every single Wikidata item that corresponds to the artist. So so far you can see our work has matched tens of thousands of human artists there, but constituents are not just people. They can be businesses, fashion houses, enterprises, studios, or even art museums themselves. So we're adding these in a systematic way using the Met API and a bot. So we've had this internal debate about where we should spend our resources, whether it's on Wikidata and commons. Wikidata is great for structured translated data, but we have many more items on commons. We have about 20,000 Wikidata items, but we have 375,000 files on commons and we want to make them discoverable. So where do we spend our energy adding more Wikidata items or adding more structured data to commons? Right, and for a lot of contemporary artworks, we may not have a Wikidata item yet, but we don't have a commons file because we're not free. So I'm sure a lot of folks are also wrestling with this problem in terms of what happens when you have things are lower notability, but we don't have a free image file for them. And in terms of notability, just real quick, our things are already on commons and so does that make them notable? And they are in the Met Collection, so does that make them notable? So these are the sort of discussions we're having internally. Yeah, and in addition to all that, some of the tools that we're using, we're using a best combination right now, maybe quick statements, which is very basic support for structured data on commons, but quick statements can also just mysteriously stop working, and that's been a real blocker of a lot of things we're doing. OpenRefine is being developed right now with a dedicated team, it's great to see that, but OpenRefine can be kind of tough to learn. So there's a lot of capabilities there, but also a big learning curve. So a lot of us comes down to custom tools and bots that we're writing. So WikiCommons query service, very powerful, really cool, but it requires you to log in to work in order to ensure scalability and performance. So that's a big bummer because a lot of tools and techniques that we are used to using WikiData just don't work once you put authentication into the mix, including the lack of demo abilities to the public. And then we'd like to see more tools like PetScan and PyWikibot be more SDC aware, structured data on commons aware. Some of the things we're working on is also to get back to using AI to predict more depiction information for artworks so that we can enrich the dataset even more, and also better methods for round tripping data so we can have data flow back and forth between the glam entity and WikiData and structured data on commons, and maybe we need to work with other folks to come up with a framework and not just write our own bots to do all this. But we'd also love to measure more impact, which Jeanne will talk about. Yes, one of our great challenges is I need to go to my boss and our executives to explain the impact, all the work we're doing is have with WikiMedia and WikiData, all the impact it's having. And it's very difficult to get these specific analytics, especially around departments and particular files. And we want to get analytics because we want it to guide our future work, what's lacking, what should be contributing, which foreign languages are seeing the most growth on Wikipedia, what drives growth in article views, and what content should we be adding, what types of images should we be adding. And we'd love to get usage data on voice assistants like Siri and Alexa. Yeah, so these are not easy things, but those are just some of the things that working on and we hope to give you an update on them as we make progress on them. Thanks a lot. Thank you everyone and thank you for joining me. My name is Degi Precious and I'm the Wikimedia and Residents at the Mosque Foundation. Also thank you to the Wikimedia team for the opportunity. Today I'm going to be sharing the overview of my year as a Wikimedia and Residents at the Mosque Foundation working under the Wikiafrica Education Project. As a Wikimedia and Residents at the Mosque Foundation, I worked under the Wikiafrica Education Project. And the Wikiafrica Education Project is an empowerment project that amplifies voices from Africa to reflect the rich and valuable history, languages, people and communities of the continent. The purpose of Wikiafrica Education Project is to inspire a new generation of African creative thinkers and do us to increase by increasing production, access and awareness of contextually and linguistically relevant religious association Africa. The focus or the group focus of this project is young Africans from ages 18 to 27. Welcome to the Wikiafrica Education Project. There are two different programs under this project. We have the Higher Education Initiative and then we'll have the Afro Curation Program. The Higher Education Initiative is an initiative by Mosque Foundation with Foundation Aurora Assets Partner. And the aim of this initiative is to train African language speakers at higher education institutions, both in Italy and Africa to create content relevant to their field of study and expertise in African languages, therefore reducing global and intellectual, global intellectual inequalities. So the program trains the participants to be autonomous knowledge producers and it gives them a big foundation of the Wikia platform, the Wikidata platform, the Wikicommons platform, and it also follows them during the process of content creation and production. The next program is the Afro Curation Program. And for the year 2021 and early 2022, we worked under the team of who we are. Now the Afro Curation Program is a cultural and inspirational experience where participants feel empowered to create knowledge about their culture and identity and redressing the historical bias and also taking ownership of the digital narrative. Now the next I'm going to talk about is the outcome of the Wikiafrica Education Project. Now for this Wikiafrica Education Project, between the year 2021 to the first half of 2022, we had 10 university partners in Italy and Africa, which we mentioned in the middle. We had five cultural partners, which included Italian publishing in Mozambique. One toolkit was developed and translated into three different languages, which includes Swahili, Portuguese and French. And the essence of this is to give a foundation for the translation of these two kits into other African languages. Now across the project, across this time we had 600 participants and over 2000 articles were produced on Wikipedia, Wikidata, and which also included uploads to Wikicommons. Now, during this time also, 14 languages or 14 African languages were covered as well. And these languages included Olaf, Tui, Swahili and Zulu, Sosa and a whole lot of other languages from various African countries. And during this period, two new language Wikipedia's were created. The local language Wikipedia was added to the incubator, local language from Kenya, and also the Makua language of Mozambique was added to the incubator. Furthermore, one volunteer community was created in Mozambique where there was nonexistent before. And this volunteer community is to help in the content production in the Makua Wikipedia, which is a language spoken by over 6 million people in Mozambique who has no digital footprint onto the Afro-Piracian project. And during this time we also had, we partnered with three Wikimedia user groups, which includes Wikimedia Tanzania, the Tui community, user group and Wikimedia South Africa. And also we had volunteers from four user groups, which includes Brazil, Portugal, Nigeria, Italy and so on. In terms of universities, we partnered with University of Naples, Federico, Tui, we partnered with Politecnico di Milano, Iundi Milano, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Italy, Sapienta University, Amref and Amru University in Kenya. The highlights of the year, for me the highlights of the year was getting the Makua language into the incubator because the Makua language, like I said, is a language spoken by over 6 million people in Mozambique who had no digital footprint prior to the Afro-Piracian program. And it has to say that there were no blogs, no articles like digitally written in the language, apart from Bible translations of the language, and also creating a volunteer community in Mozambique which is working to keep the language Wikipedia alive. Another highlight is the language revitalization, which the Wikiafrica education project has shown in the areas of adding the local Wikipedia into the incubator and also revitalizing the Makua language. Next I'm going to show you the participants' feedback. There were lots of feedback I'm just going to share one. This is from Pamira, she's 24 years and she's from Mozambique. She said, participating in the Wikipedia training was a very fascinating experience and also because it's a local language that has been nationalized by some who unfortunately still carry the idea of the existence of language superiority. And Pamira is a Makua language speaker from Mozambique. What does the future look like for the Wikiafrica education project? We are hoping to partner and get involved with more Wikia communities, like for the first phase we weren't so many, but for this year and next year we hope to partner with more. We also hope to do more with Wikipedia, get more descriptions and items written in more African languages. And we also hope to have more African voices to contribute in English, French and various African languages and also change Africa's narrative on Wikimedia projects. Because, thematically or because like we all know, there are actually more articles written about the city of Paris in France than Africa, the continent Africa as a whole, hence we are working to change that narrative. Thank you so much for the opportunity. And if you're looking forward to getting involved or you're thinking of how to get involved, let's just reach out to me at thechiprecious2adjina.com. Thank you. Hello all. My name is Mike Dickerson and I'm the Vice President of Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand and Giant Flightless Birds on the Wikis. And I'd like to tell you about a project called the West Coast Wikipedia at large. First, what a Wikipedia at large is in contrast to a Wikipedia in residence. And secondly, the two separate projects we've run now on the West Coast of New Zealand and why we've chosen this approach. I thought I'd dreamed up the term Wikipedia at large when I applied for a project grant in 2018 but it turns out a couple of people had used it before. But the idea was to run numerous different Wikipedia and associations with organizations throughout the country, 35 in fact, in the end, rather than be Wikipedia in residence at just one. And this was because the general level of engagement and understanding with Wikimedia projects and the glam and other institutions in New Zealand at the time was actually quite low. People didn't really know or understand or appreciate what they could do by working with Wikimedia projects. So I spent a year traveling the length of the country from north to south, trying to raise public awareness, training, set up regular meetups, organize bulk photo uploads, and show organizations why they should be taking Wikipedia seriously. And it was a great but very gruelling experience but I could see the advantage of it in a large dispersed population. At the end of the project, I wound up living in Haukutika on the south island of New Zealand on about halfway down on the West Coast, which is very low population density, only 35,000 people spread over and nearly 600 kilometers. So there's no large institution that one could be a Wikipedia in residence in. I pitched to Development West Coast, which is a business development and tourism support organization, to perhaps fund me for a couple of months at a time to try and improve the coverage of the West Coast in Wikipedia. And they could see that there would be, you know, business and tourism benefits from this, so they were happy to support me in it. So I ran the first Wikipedia at large on the West Coast in 2020, and I'm halfway through the second one. The way these are organized is that we recruit a team of volunteers. I've got 10 working with me at the moment, most of them all around New Zealand and a couple in Australia. We touch base regularly and work on projects together. Mostly I'm working from Haukutika on the West Coast, but I've been doing field trips for several days at a time to different areas, mostly to take photographs of missing gaps in Wikipedia or Wikidata, but also to meet with locals and get access to print materials and resources that aren't online or even in libraries. And this has been really valuable to get people to produce their photo albums, their media clippings, and their tiny small press publications that are otherwise really hard to find. The organization of it is by area volunteers have a list of Wikidata items and Wikipedia articles that need work and can work on them in the usual way. But we try and focus for two weeks at a time on this particular area, and we try and coordinate our efforts. The first time through we coordinated with daily reporting. This was a bit too much pressure on volunteers we found trying to come up with something every day to report. So we switched to weekly reporting this time round. And that's working much better. Of course, we do have a project dashboard that logs a lot of these achievements. But the volunteers find this actually quite useful to be able to ask questions and chat with each other as part of the reporting to help each other out or summon assistance if needed. We also I also report to the volunteer team with postcards and these virtual postcards that appear on their talk pages every week or two weeks. They thank them always thank them. We go through what has been achieved in the last couple of weeks particularly highlights like getting 400,000 views for a video and dyk which was amazing. Let them know what the key tasks coming up are what we're going to be focusing on where I'm going to be and what I can do to help. We illustrated with a photo taken by a volunteer and it's of course the totem insect of the West Coast is the sand fly. So that appears on the stamp. We also have a little badge that we can send to them to say thank you if they've been participating especially well. So part of the reporting is the photo uploads. We try and do galleries and detailed reporting of how many different comments categories we've created how many articles we've created at the end of the project. So this can all be shared by with Development West Coast who have been really great they've put out press releases they've gotten coverage of this and all the local papers. They got me on to breakfast television to talk from my home about Wikipedia and that even a camera crew appeared out in the field to fill me typing editing Wikipedia live by a lake by you couldn't see the sand flies that were eating me alive at the time. So this has been I think a real success and a really potentially useful model for Wikipedia residents it's not your traditional Wikipedia and sitting in an institution. You can see out in the field doing photography working with locals but being supported by a big team of volunteers. I'm happy to chat with this if anyone's got questions or would like to perhaps run this in your own patch. Easy to get in touch with me. Thank you very much.


Hey, this is Brett and this 2023 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 5'7'' Short Box with the Ram Box Longhorn Level 1 with the Sulfork Edition is stock number 23T63A. I am here at Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. You're new and used Ram and light duty truck headquarters. This 2023 Ram 1500 has the 5.7L V8 Hemi Engine. It's paired up with the 8-speed automatic transmission. It does have the e-torque assist as well. This truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop. It has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. This truck is 100% ready to go. A couple neat things about this truck is it does have the Sulfork Edition which gives you premium leather seats, special instrument cluster, and the multifunction tailgate. It also has the Ram Box on it and the 22-inch painted and polished aluminum wheels. I'm going to go all the way around in this video. Inside, underneath, start it up, take a look under the hood, show you all the options, and just give you the most accurate representation that I can of the truck. Patriot blue metallic is the color. I shoot all my videos in 4K. If you like the video, subscribe to the YouTube channel, click the bell notifications, get updates on the videos I do each and every day as well as having access to one of the largest catalogs of vehicle and light duty truck walk-arounds on YouTube. Stay current on our ever-changing and vast inventory here at Summit Auto so you don't miss out on gems like this one. As you can see, the 22-inch painted and polished aluminum wheels are pretty impressive. It has Pirelli Scorpion 28545R22 tires. I would say they have right around half the tread left on them. Frame and underbody is in excellent shape. It does have the four-corner air suspension as well. This is a one-owner clean title history, clean car fax from right here in Wisconsin. Front fender is in excellent shape. You get the LED headlamps, running lights, and fog lights. I will turn all those on at the end of the video so you can see just how bright they are. Front bumper is in excellent shape. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. You get the chrome-trimmed grille. That looks really good. And the hood is in excellent shape too. I didn't see any dents or dings on there. Passenger side front fender, fantastic condition. And the passenger side front wheel is in pretty nice shape as well. Patriot blue metallics got a lot of metal flake in it. Little bit of greens. Really a good looking color. One of my favorite colors on the Rams. As you go down this side of this 2023 Ram 1500 Longhorn South Fore condition, take note of how clean that body is, how reflective and mirror-like that paint is. I take these HD videos so if you're far away or even if you're close by and you just cannot make the trip down but you're still interested in purchasing the vehicle, you can see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at. Before you even get here, so when you do get here, there's absolutely no surprises and you can make a smart and informed buying decision from wherever you're at. If this video helps you make that buying decision, let your salesman know that you saw the video, that it was helpful and that Brett sent you back wheels in excellent shape and the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, maybe even a little bit more. You get the plastic wheel well liners. You also get the fender flares with the Longhorn package. Raymond underbody is in really nice shape and it does have the power running boards. I always like showing that they're working even though this truck has all the remaining factory bumper to bumper and powertrain warranty on it yet. Ram boxes are pretty sweet. You have plugs down there. You can take those out. You can put ice and drinks in here. It's like you have too many coolers wherever you go or if you're not from Wisconsin just extra storage space and these boxes do lock. You get the LED tail lamps coming around the back. You get the chrome tipped dual rear exhaust. The rear bumper is in great shape. Full towing package of course with the receiver hitch four pin and seven pin wiring and then you get these split multifunction tailgate. You also get the four by four Ram and limited Longhorn edition badge on there. That looks really good. You also have a soft trifold tonneau cover. That's in really nice condition. That's a factory one and it's no rips or tears on that. This is a power drop down tailgate. So it'll power drop down like so. You get a spray and bed liner LED bed lights. That's in pretty nice shape. You can turn these on and off with the button back here and then I'll show you how this tailgate opens up the other way. So to really sit to go down like that you press the top button press the bottom button and it swings open like so so that you can get right up to the bed of the truck right up to the bumper of the truck and you can basically almost get all the way to the front. You'll also notice that it has some side rails with the tie-down cleats and you can see how that tailgate system works. Now when you close it you have to close this one first otherwise you are going to have a dented truck and that shuts nice and solidly. Coming around the driver's side just as clean as that passenger side. No major dents or dings on the box. It does have the capitalist feel-fill which is a really nice feature. Never get gas on your hands again and for full disclosure this back wheel is in excellent shape as well. Down the rest of this side of the truck doors and cab all look really good. It has the heated power mirrors, blind spot monitoring, built-in directional signals on the side and then built-in blind spot mirrors as well. Enter and go system just have to have the key fob in your pocket put your hand in there the doors will automatically unlock. Let's take a look at that long south fork. Interior you get these suede and leather bucket seats. Both of these seats on the back in the back here on the outboard side are heated and cooled. You get a limited long horn patch stitched into the backrest. These headrests fold down like so. Latch child safety system. These seats fold up like that. You get a nice flat floor back here. You also have the limited long horn floor mats. In-floor storage back here as well. So if you got ice and drinks then it's like you have four mini coolers wherever you go. Get the saddle bag looking at backs to the front seats. There are your heated seat cooled seat buttons as well as your two USBs, two USB C's and 115 volt 400 watt plug-in. These seats also recline and you can see how far they recline like that and up like that. Get the Harman Kardon speaker cover, woodgrain trim, cool design on there. Child safety locks on the back doors and the inside and bottoms of the doors all look really good. I'll show you the VIN sticker here. No previously owned in Canada trucks here. PPX is the paint code for Patriplu. Up front you get these special leather and suede bucket seats. These are the South Fork seats. So if you see these you know your truck's got the South Fork edition. Patch on the back both these seats are heated and cooled and power. Factory all weather formats up here as well. Power pedals, electronic parking brake, auto headlamps, tilt telescopic steering wheel. Power windows lock some mirrors. These mirrors do power fold in. I always like showing both sides that you know that both sides are working properly. You get the Harman Kardon speaker covers right there and then that same design on the front doors as the back. Hop inside check out the miles, the radio and everything that this one has to offer on the interior. You get the 12 inch digital instrument cluster, digital spinometer, time compass up there and change a lot of those settings to look different and see if I can break it a little bit. So this is supposed to be a specific instrument cluster to the South Fork edition. You also have heads-up display. You can see your digital spinometer in the windshield up there. You can turn that off or make it brighter however you want to do it. Leather wrapped and woodgrain trim steering wheel. This does have adaptive cruise controls and regular cruise controls on the right. Gear selector on the right as well. Bluetooth and information center controls on the left. Audio controls on the back of the steering wheel and there's your woodgrain trim on the bottom. Push button start. Push button four wheel drive. Turn dial eight speed automatic transmission. There's your start stop. This one has the UConnect 5 12 inch radio and FM and Sirius XM radio capabilities on this radio as well as Augs, USB and Alexa.  You're heated and cooled seat buttons and heated steering wheel controls. This one does have the factory navigation system. The UConnect 5 navigation system is supposed to be five times faster than the old UConnect 4 system. There's highway 41 so you know that is working nicely. Then you get all your different apps in here including media, comfort, nav, phone, does have Android Auto, Apple CarPlay. I believe they're wireless with this system and here are all your different apps right there including your backup camera which they've made these crystal clear so you can get hooked up to your boat camper or trailer the first time every time. This one also has the surround view camera where you can see everything around the vehicle and then you get your wide view of the back, wide view of the front, narrow view of the front and then your normal backup camera. You can zoom in on that receiver hitch to get hooked up to your boat camper or trailer the first time every time as well and then you have trailers surround if you had cameras on your trailer which you could hook up and then more camera stuff there and then your other lane departure warning, perpendicular and parallel park assist, Harman card and premium sound. Here's your four-corner air suspension right there. You can raise the truck, lower the truck, off-road mode one, off-road mode two and then like a lowered mode to get in and out, stability control, tow haul, front-to-rear parking sensors and then of course like a normal ride height. Two USBs, two USB C's and an aux jack. You get the wireless cell phone charge pad there, 115 volt 400 watt plug-in, two cup holders and coin slot holders there, keyless entry with the remote start, power drop down tailgate and you can lower the truck by pressing those buttons right there. That's a lot. You also get the long horn kind of burnt into the dash there. That's pretty cool. Passengers side format and seat are in excellent condition. I don't think this truck has ever been smoked in. In fact I know it's never been smoked in. Headliners in great shape. You get map lights up there, assistant SOS buttons, power sign rear window controls, power drop down tailgate control and then this is your rear view mirror camera. So it has a video display of what's going on behind you and if you don't like that you can just make it a normal rear view mirror like so. Home link buttons for your garage door security systems and lighting systems. Let's start it up, take a look under the hood, check out all those LED lights in the front. Starts right up. No check engine lights or anything like that. Alright. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video you've been able to verify the quality, condition, options and of course cleanliness of this truck all the way around inside. Now very cool truck, the Longhorn Southbork Edition LED headlamps and running lights are all very bright. Under the hood we have the 5.7 liter V8 Hemi engine with the e-torque assist if it's got this big silver box on it. You know it's got the e-torque assist. Engine base very clean runs, very smooth and once again this truck has been fully safe and inspected by our service shop has a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. There is the emission sticker and this truck is 100% ready to go. I would highly recommend it from a quality and condition standpoint. I think whoever's gonna get this truck is gonna absolutely love it and to see more pictures of this truck or one of other 550 new and used cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, Wranglers, half-tons, three-quarter-tons, one-tons, you name it we got to go to the website right there summitauto.com.
