Hi, everyone --


The LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group> has been offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours> to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by adding data about diverse children’s books<https://ccbc.education.wisc.edu/literature-resources/ccbc-diversity-statistics/> from the Cooperative Children’s Book Center at the University of Wisconsin, Madison to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, love children’s books, or have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to.


The tenth and final Wikidata Working Hour in the series will be using SPARQL to query and visualize the data we’ve added to Wikidata during our series.


You do not need to have attended the previous Wikidata Working Hours in the series to attend this one. If you would like to review any of the recording/material from the previous sessions, you can access the event pages on our series project page<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_LD4_Wikidata_Affinity_Group/Wikidata_Working_Hours/Wikidata_Working_Hour_Summer-Fall_Project_2022#Past_Wikidata_Working_Hours>.


Date and time: Monday, November 7, 2022 at 11:00am PT / 2:00pm ET / 18:00 UTC / 8:00pm CEST (Time zone converter<https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1667847600>)

This is the final Working Hour of our series! We hope you’ve enjoyed any and all sessions you’ve attended and we invite you to fill out our participation survey<https://forms.gle/MxCpA88p1wYncoXZ7> by November 9 to let us know what you’ve enjoyed and what we can do to improve potential future series. We have recorded the demo portions of each Working Hour, so you can always catch up on anything you miss.


Now that the series is complete, we will return to our regular Working Hours, with varied themes.
