I've been really enjoying working with Wikidata lately, setting up automated accounts like @libraries, @parks, and @lighthouses.

To see what else you can do with Wikidata, and to learn how to use it, check out a tutorial I put together: stefanbohacek.com/blog/making-

A tinted screenshot of a grayscale globe with a few hundred pins showing locations of various UNESCO World Heritage Sites across the world. One of the pins has a popup open above it with the name of the location:

@stefan

Excellent idea, Stefan. 👍

What is really missing in this global is a map of active and formerly prominent politicians per country with a Fedi presence (self-updating, preferably.)
I think, though, data is hard to come by (tried this 2 yrs ago for the US and EU for the DeadBirdSite, but stopped.)

@libraries @parks @lighthouses

@HistoPol Thank you!

Yes, I had a similar idea with the projects linked in the intro. Let me see if I can find some time to make a version you're proposing, I already have most of the code needed for that.

@HistoPol @stefan @libraries @parks @lighthouses
Not for individual politicians or parties, but @govdirectory is aiming to get all public organizations (like government agencies and authorities) in the world and their contact data in one place, through Wikidata.

@ainali
Excellent.
I've just followed and boosted.
Thanks for pointing this out!
