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.

We are creating Wikidata records based on the Librarians and Archivists for Palestine report: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q130443746.
