Utah Wikimedians, film enthusiasts and friends are invited to celebrate Wikipedia's 23rd birthday in
Park City as part of the Wikipedia Day celebrations being held around the world. We'll meet on Saturday, January 27, 2024 during the busy
2024 Sundance Film Festival.
Traffic and parking may be quite ridiculous during the film festival, so you may prefer to use public transportation or festival shuttles. See the film festival's
recommendations for parking on their website.
Location: THE SHOP, 1167 Woodside Ave, Park City, Utah
Activties:
Lunch and refreshments will be served
Demonstrations on how to edit Wikipedia
Help us improve content about Utah and Sundance in Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata (see below)
Friendly space policy
Our Wikipedia Day meetup is subject to Wikimedia's
General Friendly Space Policy for Wikimedia events to ensure that all are welcome and free from harassment. If issues arise, notify a Wikimedia volunteer.

Work lists
Wikimedians have already been busy during Sundance to improve articles and add photos to Wiikimedia Commons.
Help improve or incorporate content from these efforts into Wikipedia.
Help improve the description or caption information for the photos
Incorporate photos into the relevant Wikipedia articles for the film, actor, producers, etc.
Add to the structured data for the Commons files
Use cropping tool to generate smaller, re-framed portions of the image for portrait photos
Wikidata
Difficulty level: Intermediate-Advanced
Help improve the Wikidata metadata we have for the Sundance films. Many films have basic information about the director and release date but may be missing the screenwriter, genre, or other information.
Examine the results of a spreadsheet that can query Wikidata and Wikipedia to see what is missing
Use a tool like TABernacle for Wikidata that you can use to live edit Wikidata
Help create new Wikidata entries for all Sundance films. The Cradle toom may be useful:

I'm already in Park City! But unfortunately I'm leaving before Saturday. Wish I could be there but happy to support anything remotely. -
