[16:57:56] <ChromiumOverload>	 Um
[16:58:10] <ChromiumOverload>	 !admin@wikidata HELP
[17:06:47] <drn1998>	 Am I missing a lot if I am only in this chat but not the Telegram one? (Telegram forces me to have a mobile phone number)
[17:19:06] <Lucas_WMDE>	 the Telegram one is a lot more active these days yeah
[17:19:29] <drn1998>	 That's unfortunate, but good to know though. Thanks!
[19:43:50] <drn1998>	 Is there a way to immediately donate to Wikidata, without distributing the money to all projects of Wikimedia? It's not that I want to avoid donating to the other organizations, but Wikidata is especially valuable for me personally because I use it for a very specialized purpose (PIR research) and it gets less financial attention than, say, Wikipedia.
[20:40:12] <Platonides>	 wikidata as such isn't a separate entity
[20:40:34] <drn1998>	 Oh, I see. So it's not or probably not possible?
[20:40:38] <Platonides>	 the web servers serving wikidata are the same ones serving wikipedia
[20:41:16] <Platonides>	 so donating "to a single project" isn't really a thing
[20:41:46] <Platonides>	 maybe there is some action specific to wikidata that you could fund
[20:41:52] <Platonides>	 that's the most similar I can think of
[20:43:51] <drn1998>	 Okay, thanks!
[20:44:18] <drn1998>	 Since work on Wikidata itself is done by volunteers money probably cannot help the completeness of the data anyway I assume
[21:05:33] <Platonides>	 money would generally not help directly for that, no
[21:06:01] <Platonides>	 you could fund a prize for a Wikidata competition, maybe
[21:07:51] <Platonides>	 I don't really know what wikidata community needs currently
[21:09:34] <drn1998>	 I see, maybe someone else knows. But funding a prize (at least particially) makes sense.
[21:18:39] <Sario>	 Like pretty much all peer directed/open source projects, what Wikidata needs most is volunteers who give a **** about the project
[21:19:19] <Sario>	 If you're here, and you care, then you're doing the biggest thing.
[21:20:03] <drn1998>	 I already am contributing occasionally so it's nice to hear that helps
[21:20:52] <Sario>	 drn1998: people like you are literally what makes all of this possible
[21:21:57] <AchintyaRao[m]>	 Might be worth looking into supporting local Wikidata training events and hackathons.
[21:23:59] <drn1998>	 Sario: Thanks, really apprecitate this thinking!
[21:24:21] <drn1998>	 AchintyaRao[m]: Great idea, too
[21:25:58] <AchintyaRao[m]>	 I had attended this some moons ago and got my first proper look at Wikidata then: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events/Wikidata_Zurich_Hackathon2019
[21:26:33] <AchintyaRao[m]>	 More here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Events
[21:29:04] <drn1998>	 Thanks, I'll have a look
