Wikidata:WikiProject MELA on Palestine

The Wiki project page for the Middle East Librarians Association (MELA) work group on Palestine.

Goals

• Create documentation of Wikidata items to use in enhancing library catalog records
• Host research events to collaborate on the creation of Wikidata items about Palestine

Based on this list of depopulated Palestinian villages: https://www.palquest.org/en/places?show=intro We will be enhancing existing records for Palestinian villages. Right now, many of the records are inconsistent and missing key properties.
