WIKIDATA LABS

The 27th edition of Wikidata Lab, "Wikiprojeto Leis Brasileiras" (Brazilian laws wikiproject), presented by Éder Porto and Veronica Stocco on April, 13rd, covered the concept and the operation of a tool designed to create and improve items about Brazil's legislation on Wikidata. The tool proved to be practical and intuitive, which makes it easy for new users and useful for the more experienced ones who want to operate it at scale.

While the following edition of Wikidata Lab, at this time presented by Éder Porto and Lucas Werkmeister on April, 29th, covered the development of metadata applications, mainly the steps of creation and storage of these tools using Wikimedia Toolforge. The event provided a better understanding of how metadata applications work, encouraging the invention of new ones to optimize demands from GLAM-Wiki initiatives or other wikiprojects.

MUSEU PAULISTA GLAM-WIKI INITIATIVE

Last month we reached the mark of 30 thousand images uploaded by Museu Paulista, one the most prestigious museums in Brazil, on Wikimedia Commons since the beginning of Museu Pailista GLAM-Wiki initiative on 2017. In April almost 5 thousand images of Museu Paulista's collections itens were uploaded on Wikimedia Commons, which corresponds to more than 5% of the 33.190 avaiable online by now under Creative Commons license.

The images integrated the edit-a-thon "Decoração e identidades femininas e masculinas" (Decoration and male and female identities) on April, 23rd. The third marathon organized by Museu Paulista and Wiki Movimento Brazil (WMB) user group on 2021, which counted with a speech delivered by Vânia Carneiro de Carvalho, curator, professor and researcher at Museu Paulista, gathered volunteer users to create and improve Wikipedia entries about the mentioned topic.
