Wikidata:100wikidatadays
Welcome to the Wikidata version of #100wikidays: a personal challenge in which a person works on at least one item on Wikimedia projects per day, for 100 days in a row.
The general idea and the rules follow the idea of the "#100happydays" challenge.
Rules
edit- No cheating! (You're only cheating yourself)
- No missed days and no catch-ups.
- No preparation in advance.
- But also: Ignore All Rules and: "The only competition worthy of a wise man is with himself." -- Washington Allston (Q468272)
- Enjoy and share the pleasure!
- You can use the hashtag #100wikidays in edit summaries or social networks
- You can join the Facebook group 100wikidays
Suggestion
editTo pay tribute to Spiritia, who invented the 100wikidays challenge, your hundredth article could be related to her country, Bulgaria (Q219).
The challenge on Wikidata
editThe #100wikidays challenge on Wikipedia is about writing (at least) one Wikipedia article per day, for 100 days in a row.
Wikidata has many incomplete and unfinished items and therefore a meaningful and useful challenge for Wikidata can be adapted as follows:
- Each day, for 100 days in a row, find an existing Wikidata item that is pretty 'empty' (= it does not have any statements yet, or has very few of them)
- Items of humans (instance of (P31) human (Q5)) may be a good choice! In the Wikipedia challenge, some people have decided to create Wikipedia articles about women (sex or gender (P21) female (Q6581072)) specifically. That can be a good idea on Wikidata too. A few sample queries/lists to inspire you:
- Humans without profession, birth date and death date
- Female humans without profession, birth date and death date
- Likely female artists = female humans with one or more identifiers from art-related authority databases but without profession, birth date and death date
- Or, of course, feel free to choose your own topic of interest!
- In any case, you may want to decide to make it a bit of a challenge for yourself, by choosing items that will take a bit of work, research and dedication.

A few sample queries/lists to inspire you:
- Flesh out each of your 'daily' items as extensively as you can, according to the typical item structure of that type of item.
- Make sure that as many statements as possible are sourced.
Other types of challenges on Wikidata are welcome! Feel free to post them on this page as well.
