Newsletter der Jungwikipedianer (2. Dezember 2023)
Hallo Zabe,
viel Spaß beim Durchlesen des Newsletters!
- Das Treffen findet vom 2. bis zum 4. Februar 2024 in Köln. Eine Einladung und offizielle Anmeldung folgen noch.
- Es steht wieder der Artikel des Quartals an. Ihr könnt eure besten Artikel also jetzt nominieren.
- Die nächste Videokonferenz findet am 1. Januar statt. Für nähere Infos siehe hier.
- Hast du schon unser Weihnachtslogo rechts gesehen?
Wir begrüßen unsere neuen Mitglieder Blackpaw the Wolf und CookyCo. Herzlich Willkommen!
---
Wir verabschieden uns von unserem Mitglied New York-air, welcher mittlerweile leider die Altersgrenze überschritten hat und jetzt zu den großen Wikipedianern gehört.
Benutzer M2k~dewiki hat auf unserer Diskussionsseite Tipps und Anregungen rund um die Eingangskontrolle gestellt. Lest euch diese gerne einmal durch und helft mit! M2k~dewiki hat auch eine übersichtliche Checkliste erstellt, auf der ihr noch mehr Informationen zum Thema Eingangs- und Qualitätskontrolle findet.
Auch wenn man bei der Schlagzeile glauben würde, dass es sich um einen Kommentar zu unzureichendem Schienenersatzverkehr handeln würde: Es gab tatsächlich vor kurzem einen Schienenersatzverkehr per Helikopter! Und zwar in Braunwald in der Schweiz für zwei Wochen. Die dortige Standseilbahn stellt die einzige Verbindung zwischen Braunwald und dem Tal dar und im Zuge der Sanierung musste sie gesperrt werden und auf Helikopter ausgewichen werden, damit der Ort nicht vollständig von der Außenwelt abgekoppelt wurde.
Entgegen der letzten Meldung hat Wandelndes Lexikon tatsächlich nicht den ersten Platz beim Wettbewerb „Artikel des Quartals“ im September belegt, sondern Ankermast mit dem nachfolgenden Artikel. Herzlichen Glückwunsch (und sorry für den Irrtum)!
Die Doulos Hope ist ein ehemaliges Kreuzfahrtschiff, das durch das christliche Missionswerk Operation Mobilisation unter ihrer Sparte OM Ships als schwimmende Bibliothek und Kulturzentrum eingesetzt wird. Bis 2022 wurde es durch Star Cruises als The Taipan betrieben. – Zum Artikel …
Während einer Fahrradtour durch die bekanntlich weitläufigen Tiroler Höhlenlandschaften schoss 958s dieses Foto. Es zeigt einen 14 Meter langen Erzstollen in Weißenbach am Lech, den man besichtigen kann und von dem es bisher noch keine Bilder auf Commons gab. Zu dem Stollen führt die angeblich längste freischwebende Treppe Tirols (wie auch immer er es mit dem Fahrrad da runter geschafft hat), laut 958s sei die aber gar nicht so lang. Für das Siegertreppchen hat es jedoch allemal gereicht: Beim Wettbewerb zum Bild des Quartals im Oktober 2023 konnte er mit diesem Bild den zweiten Platz belegen. Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

- Upcoming: Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour December 18th, 2023: Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.The ninth and final Wikidata Working Hour in the series will be using SPARQL and Scholia to query and visualize the data we’ve added to Wikidata during our series.

Led by Silvia Gutiérrez and Giovanna Fontenelle from the Wikimedia Foundation, the series summarizes insights from a collaborative session at the 2023 LD4 Conference, using Design Thinking strategies to connect the Library-Wikidata community with WMF, focusing on Wikidata, Wikibase, and Structured Data on Commons (SDC) in libraries.

- Wikipedia gender gap: a scoping review - This review analyzes Wikipedia's gender gap from 2007 to 2022, revealing a slight majority of female authors, addressing key themes, and exploring strategies to mitigate the gap, providing valuable insights into the research landscape in this domain. By Núria Ferran-Ferrer, Juan-José Boté-Vericad and Julia Minguillón.
- Ten years of Wikidata: A bibliometric study - This research delves into scholarly publications about Wikidata from its inception in 2012 to late 2022, revealing 945 relevant papers, primarily from conferences. The analysis highlights a concentration of experts and contributors from the Global North, as well as governmental institutions as predominant funders. The study calls for enhanced networking and outreach to promote diversity and inclusion within the Wikidata research community. Emphasizing computer science perspectives, the research focuses on methods for developing and utilizing open knowledge graphs, notably Wikidata, with a narrower but significant interest in application-oriented studies in digital humanities, biology, and healthcare.

Wikipedia translation of the week: 2023-52
The winner this Translation of the week is
Please be bold and help translate this article! Plant blindness is an informally-proposed form of cognitive bias, which in its broadest meaning, is a human tendency to ignore plant species. This includes such phenomena as not noticing plants in the surrounding environment, not recognizing the importance of plant life to the whole biosphere and to human affairs, a philosophical view of plants as an inferior form of life to animals and/or the inability to appreciate the unique features or aesthetics of plants. Related terms include plant‐neglect, zoo-centrism, and zoo‐chauvinism. (Please update the interwiki links on Wikidata of your language version of the article after each week's translation is finished so that all languages are linked to each other.)
