A data-a-thon is planned to add and improve health related data of medicines, vaccines and hospitals, adding Malayalam labels in Wikidata on this May 2021. This data-a-thon is organized as a part of the Vaccine Edit-a-thon happening in Malayalam and English Wikipedia. The primary objective of this "data-a-thon" is to update and improve accurate data related to health in Wikidata and to improve the labels in Malayalam language for items related to health. The event will be open to anyone interested in promoting accurate vaccine information online. You may join by adding your name in the #Participants section below.
For newcomers: Just start a Wikidata Tour. The tour provides a beginner-friendly introduction to editing Wikidata. (The tour is available in English, Malayalam and many other languages.)
While adding labels you should abide by the guidelines listed in Help:Label.
Use the most common name of an entity for its label. Abbreviations or longer, official, or less common names are used as aliases.
e.g. "തൃശ്ശൂർ" is the Malayalam label for തൃശ്ശൂർ (Q163798), while "തൃശ്ശിവപേരൂർ" and "തൃശൂർ" are aliases for that item.
Avoid adding honorifics and titles to the label for a person
e.g. "വിശുദ്ധ" in the label (or in any aliases, for that matter), and other titles such as "മേജർ ജനറൽ" or "ശ്രീ(മതി)" for others need not be added either.
