Coordinate Me 2024

Wikidata Geodata Competition for May 2024
, Ali Smith.

Coordinate Me 2024 is an International Wikidata competition for content with geodata, from towns and hospitals to public art and natural monuments. For the month of May, the goal is to improve or create Wikidata items with a coordinate location (P625) property.

Join the competition immediately or explore the tools and resources specific to Australia.

There is a Dashboard for Australia that we encourage you to enrol in with your Wikimedia user account. Once enrolled, your edits to Wikidata items with a coordinate location (P625) are automatically tracked in the Dashboard.

This competition is organised by Wikimedia Austria, and supported by 11 Wikimedia affiliates and User Groups.

The competition starts on 1 May 2024 and ends on 31 May 2024.
