#Wikidata currently holds information on almost 20000 periodicals published worldwide before 1930: https://w.wiki/A6s8. But, as one would suspect, quality of data and coverage differs widely between regions.
So, if you work on periodicals, particularly those published outside the Global North and major centres of publication, consider adding your knowledge to Wikidata for others to link to and discover these awesome resources.

@awinkler @menalib_FIDNahost @wikidata

@tillgrallert @menalib_FIDNahost @wikidata Halle is missing, which sounds as if it's time for some batch upload 
@awinkler @tillgrallert @wikidata thank you for thinking of us! Joining the fediverse is already proving a success. This is definitely of interest to us and will be forwarded within the team.
