 * Events/Blogs/Press
 * Past: SmartData conference
 * Paper: Reifying RDF: What Works Well With Wikidata?
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Wikidata made it into the top 10 of the Land der Ideen competition \o/ This means we're part of the final public voting starting on 9th of September. Thanks everyone who voted and spread the word.
 * Flow is being tested on selected talk pages.
 * New tool: Get new Wikidata items (now or before a given timestamp) as HTML or PagePile
 * New tool: Find Wikidata items without an image around a location, then find free images on Flickr taken nearby.
 * EventZoom.net extended with OpenStreetMap support, increasing the options for visualizing historical events from Wikidata.
 * Did you know?
 * Newest properties: Find A Grave cemetery ID, German cattle breed ID, Erdős number, worldfootball.net ID, AllMovie artist ID
 * Development
 * Soon the edit summary for edits through the API will also contain the automatic edit summary that you are used to for edits done through the website. The summary given by the API user will be appended to the automatic summary. (T97247)
 * Addressed performance issues in usage tracking updates and had to delay the latest round of rollouts because of it
 * Fixed a bug where suggestions would show up twice in item and property selectors (T109697)
 * Improved performance of the mw.wikibase.sitelink Lua method
 * More work done on Unit Selector widget
 * Started working on the ArticlePlaceholder extension
 * Made final changes so we can redirect mobile users to the mobile version by default
 * Evaluated the remaining steps to get the extension deployed that lets you do checks against 3rd party databases. Not much left it seems and we'll tackle that in one of the next sprints. Getting the new features deployed for the constraints checks will still take a bit longer.
 * More work on making the edit summaries in the watchlist on Wikipedia and co more meaningful
 * Monthly Tasks
 * Hack on one of these.
 * Help develop the next summary here!
 * Contribute to a Showcase item

Proposed deletion of Ramon Gutierrez
Hello, Tom Morris. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Ramon Gutierrez, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Ramon Gutierrez to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Anastasia &#91;Missionedit&#93; (talk) 18:50, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

Is there any chance you could change the website info and references on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_for_the_Study_of_Ethnicity_and_Nationalism? It's now asen.ac.uk; I'd do it myself, but I chair the organisation and so don't want to be doing our own wiki page! Hope it's OK to ask on here :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidlandoncole (talk • contribs) 12:39, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
 * User:Davidlandoncole: ✅, although updating URLs to current versions and so on is pretty much just housekeeping and you can safely do that yourself without any issue. See WP:COIADVICE for a list of the sort of non-controversial edits you can make to pages you have a conflict of interest on. —Tom Morris (talk) 13:59, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
