Project duration:
2024–2025
Wikipedia has become the primary source for biographical information due to its extensive coverage and accessibility. However, Wikipedia and Wikidata inherently rely heavily on the output of research institutions, in part because of the No Original Research policy. This project aims to analyze the production of traditional biographical dictionaries, examine their relationship to Wikipedia and Wikidata, identify current problems, and propose solutions to improve collaboration between Wikimedia and the creators of traditional biographical dictionaries.
