Title:

100 Caribbean Leaders on Wikidata: Launching WikiCari's newest project

Theme:

Saturday Longer Sessions

Type of session:

Presentation

Abstract:

Caribbean leaders (including public servants, activists, labour leaders, and scientists) are under-represented on Wikidata and Wikipedia. Join Wikimedians of the Caribbean as we launch a project to add new Wikidata items for 100 Caribbean leaders as the first step in a new project to add 10,000 Caribbean people to Wikidata.

The presentation will consist of a panel discussion featuring Sherry Antoine, Ian Ramjohn of WikiCari together with invited guests.

We will discuss the current level of (under)representation of Caribbean people on Wikidata, and the importance of representation as a crucial knowledge equity goal.
