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.

Our member @seav provides an update on our group’s ongoing work to improve the coverage of Philippine historical markers in #Wikidata and #WikimediaCommons! 👏

Wikimedians from East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania will be meeting next May in #Kaohsiung, #Taiwan 🇹🇼 for the ESEAP Conference 2026! 🎉

The call for submissions for the program is currently ongoing until 21 December. If you are doing anything interesting in #Wikimedia-land and are willing to share it with the wider community, why not submit a lecture, panel, or workshop? 👍
