Yesterday was all about the Wikidata Graph Split - making solid progress on ensuring our thesis project queries are updated to be workable and usable www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat.... The split will require a few edits to the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit as well - work is underway - watch this space!

This exciting paper also links to the Wikidata Thesis Toolkit that I co-wrote with Ruth Elder, University of York. If @thneed.bsky.social's paper inspires you to get your theses onto Wikidata then the toolkit aims to help you! www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidat...
