- Wikidata:Wwwyzzerdd got an update where it now will try to predict good statements to add to Wikidata from Wikipedia articles.
- Writing SPARQL queries can be very challenging. You can find inspiration by browsing and searching in this dataset of 2,400 queries collected from Wikidata. (source)
- The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link "Naissances du jour". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page w:fr:Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.

Saudi articles about the International Philippine School in Riyadh?
عدلI am checking to see if any Saudi sources (Arabic or English) have coverage on the establishment of the "International Philippine School in Riyadh"?
Thank you WhisperToMe (نقاش) 20:36، 23 ديسمبر 2022 (ت ع م)
A helpful user gave me some sources:
- المدارس العالمية الأجنبية تاريخها ومخاطرها. ص. 29/80.
- "موسوعة تاريخ التعليم في المملكة العربية السعودية في مائة عام, المجلد 2". Saudi Ministry of Education. 1999.
I wonder if these talk about the school in detail? WhisperToMe (نقاش) 21:43، 23 ديسمبر 2022 (ت ع م)

You are humbly invited to organize the Feminism and Folklore 2023 writing competition from February 1, 2023, to March 31, 2023 on your local Wikipedia. This year, Feminism and Folklore will focus on feminism, women's issues, and gender-focused topics for the project, with a Wiki Loves Folklore gender gap focus and a folk culture theme on Wikipedia.

Users can help create new articles, expand or translate from a list of suggested articles.
Organisers are requested to work on the following action items to sign up their communities for the project:
- Create a page for the contest on the local wiki.
