Wales (Q25)

Work done

In September 2022 - 136,061 new articles were created on cywiki, derived from Wikidata. I created a massive database, and together with the wonderful Welsh language community we used AWB to pump up the new articles, doubling the number to 277,000 articles, making Welsh the 41st biggest language on the planet. The Welsh language has the second largest number of films of all 334 wiki languages as seen here.

In 2020 I created a vidoeo of some of the work I've done, integrating Wikidata into Wikipedia articles.

I'm usually on Wicipedia Cymraeg, the Welsh language Wikipedia, aka User:Llywelyn2000.

The first use of Wikidata on cywiki was by my good friend Doug on the Richard Burton page; then on 19 November 2015‎ I created the cy:Rhestr o luniau gan Jacob van Ruisdael article, which brought Listeria into mainspace, with full community consent!

Welsh is one of the 6 Celtic languages, and with other Celtic editors, in 2022, we added the automatic population generator on all languages. See Cardiff article in each lang, where the population of Cardiff is generated automatically. This of course is disallowed on enwiki. Small language communities can move quickly, make quick decissions, adapt... and morph.

March 2020 - created over 22,000 articles on US counties, cities and towns, with 95% of the content generated automatically from Wikidata eg Choctaw County, Alabama, cy:Hampstead, Maryland.

Automatically generated WD driven female articles, which ensured (on 15th December 2016) that the Welsh / Cymraeg Wikipedia became the first to achieve gender equality. there is a gender gap, 500 more articles on females than on men!

The Current % of WP articles which include Wikidata driven infoboxes (Dec 2019) is c. 78% all of which were created by myself or editors I've trained.

I've also worked with the Welsh fauna and flora body 'Llen Natur' to take images from Commons (currently around 18,000). Here's a link to their illustrated discionary Y Bywiadur. Life is about giving to others rather than taking.
