Abstract[edit]
In 52 countries, through 68 operators, Wikipedia Zero offer free access to Wikidata (and the sister projects of the Wikimedia Foundation). In a recent trip to Suriname (Q730) I was able to add items to Wikidata and Wikicommons using a tablet and a MIFI router. The following image for example depicts the Leo fall (Q29383149) and data was added at location
.
A mobile router from the local provider Digicel Suriname and Wikipedia Zero provided the means to add data to Wikidata and upload photos to Wikimedia Commons.
In this talk, I want to address how Wikipedia Zero can be used in a more structural manner and what additionally is needed to increase coverage of remote area's or less covered regions.
