While #Wikipedia contains millions of articles and #WikimediaCommons have tons of photographs and other media, #Wikidata contains a structured data that describe the world around us.

Our member Eugene finished improving the data for the barangays of the municipality of Minalabac in Camarines Sur, #Philippines 🇵🇭, in Wikidata and also mapped them in #OpenStreetMap, linking the two datasets with each other, thereby expanding the network of linked #OpenData.

There’s an interesting development about this map that I uploaded to #WikimediaCommons in 2024. Former Associate Justice Antonio Carpio bought the original paper map and recently gifted it to the National Library of the Philippines.

@jon The main nuisance is perhaps excluding photos focused on people and copyrightable subjects (like posters). Pretty much anything else you usually shares photos of seems relevant for #WikimediaCommons to me.

I usually start from dropping them in a category by subject or country, with at least a date in the filenames to distinguish them, and figure out the detailed sorting later. For example I created https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SJ_EuroNight_by_RDC for a handful bad pics and it improved from there.

I've been working on data models for #Wikidata type specimen items & structured data for #WikimediaCommons specimen images. This is part of my Wikimedian in Residence & is a collaboration with Brodie Satherley from Auckland Museum.

En route vers la #WikipermanenceParis édition spéciale #Wikipédia25 !

Pour s'occuper dans les transports, quelques modifications avec l'outil ISA (plus ergonomique sur mobile) ; la campagne Women in Sports 2026 permet de mieux décrire les photos de sportives sur #WikimediaCommons et donc de favoriser leur réutilisation, sur Wikipédia, sur internet et ailleurs !
