Doing a grad today! 😁 #RMITGrad22 #statistics #datascience
Melbourne, let's do this! Launching The Record, a project to grow the visibility of Australian music on @Wikipedia. Join us for an edit-a-thon with @AusCouncilArts, Australian Music Vault @artscentremelb & @Sose_Fuamoli this Sat 10am, Collingwood Yards: eventbrite.com.au/e/the-record-a…
Also Kevin Newman (Bass) and Jocelyn Newman (Tas Senate), and Michael Cobb (Parkes) and Trish Worth (Adelaide). smh.com.au/politics/feder…
Kind of annoying/embarrassing that @AppleSupport’s Siri Knowledge infoboxes consistently refer to Australia as “Strayaa” and Brisbane as “Brissy” — it’s been like that for months or even years! Thought it might have been @wikidata vandalism but that doesn’t seem to be the case.
It wasn’t possible to write back to @wikidata from R, until now… “#Wikidata and R: a perfect pair”, by Thomas Shafee & @metacoretechs: diff.wikimedia.org/2021/06/03/wik… Extending the functionality of the “WikiDataR” package, building on the work of @farbandish and @bearloga.
First gig in forever, and Hobartia’s own Little Ugly Girls too. Makes me feel very old but I first saw them play 30 years ago!
This is what #Wikidata collaboration looks like. The first image are New Zealand cemeteries in Wikidata as at 23 Feb. The second two images is the same query as at 26 Feb. The result of editors @metacoretechs @Tagishsimon @KnitMeAThneed & @SiobhanLeachman all contributing.
Data essay: How does #Wikipedia represent winners of the Order of Australia? It depends on their field of contribution! Fantastic work by @hfordsa @cap_and_gown & @HelloMista hfordsa.github.io/who-do-we-thin…
The first edit on @Wikipedia was made 20 years ago today! Happy Birthday! Here's a little birthday card from down under... 🎂

.@MikeJayMcD and I am hosting a Wikipedia Editathon @MonashBiol today at 1pm. Do you have a scientist on the mind, from an under-represented group, who deserves a Wiki page? @Monash_Science @MonashUni #EquityDiversityInclusion #diversitymatters

I have a joke about spoonerisms but I can’t remember the lunch pine.
Today I'm part of a group at @thedowse Art Museum in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. We're trying to improve the DIRE coverage of NZ artists, especially women, especially Māori. Feel free to help remotely.

Alex Lum on what is Wikidata and the first of our 16 lightning talks #FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania The data is made of a triple: an item, properties and identifiers - making Wikidata an important piece of the linked data web
OK, #FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania , let’s talk #Wikidata ! (in 5 minutes or less) ... deep breath
Learning a lot about the design process for data visualisation from Andrea Lau of @smallmultiples: mapping where New Zealanders live in Australia – capital cities mostly but also large numbers in the Pilbara! #FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania
Hayden Rickard from VUW covering his research into crowdsourced consensus of informal neighbourhood boundaries in Wellington. Great custom GeoPandas logo! #FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania
Seems @wm_au was missed off my #FOSS4G_SotM_Oceania badge, so I have used a @wikidata sticker in my bag!
Calling creative practitioners and #datanerds: use your #dataviz expertise to create a visually engaging projection for our upcoming exhibition. EOIs for an up to $30K commission now open. acmi.net.au/design-commiss…
