[Talk-GB] A focus on adding wikidata tags to OSM in Wales

[Ben Proctor]

Thanks Jez

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.

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.

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.
