<div>Thanks Jez<br><br>We will be running a series of workshops some in English but most in Welsh from September to April which are aimed at getting more people in Wales engaged with OSM in general (with a focus on Welsh names as that is our particular interest). We'll certainly be including wikidata tagging in that.<br><br>The National Library is running some public engagement and school workshops in Gwynedd and Ynys Môn with the local charity Menter Môn. That will be less about adding tags and more about using Wikidata and OSM to explore Welsh culture, history and geography.<br><br>That's all we have planned for the public. We have toyed with ideas like using a Zooniverse platform to crowdsource answers like "Is this thing on [Map] the same as this thing on [Wikipedia]" but that's more aspirational right now.<br><br><br></div><div>On July 29, 2021, Jez Nicholson <jez.nicholson@gmail.com> wrote:</div><blockquote>Good stuff, Ben!<br><br>Mateusz pointed out <a href="https://osm.wikidata.link/">https://osm.wikidata.link/</a> and maybe talk to Edward Betts about contributing code to it <a href="https://github.com/EdwardBetts/osm-wikidata">https://github.com/EdwardBetts/osm-wikidata</a> <br><br>Are you thinking of getting the general public involved?</blockquote><div><br></div><blockquote>On Wed, Jul 28, 2021 at 8:43 PM Mateusz Konieczny via Talk-GB <<a href="mailto:talk-gb@openstreetmap.org">talk-gb@openstreetmap.org</a>> wrote:</blockquote><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
