The activity/project

Tell us about your proposed project. What will you get achieved with this time?
Describe why you think this project is important, and how the project is different from your normal volunteer contributions.

When I first learned about Scholia, I was so excited about this tool. But I could not find any citations related to my courses and/or these hence I have the citations in hands. I learned later that Scholia is just a front end for Wikidata. So, the solution is to first enter my citations in Wikidata then search for them in Scholia.

I'd like to take this occasion to concentrate a little time creating around 70 items of citations for my institution.

Your qualifications

Describe how you (and, if applicable, your team)are able to achieve this project. What skills, expertise, and motivation do you have which will enable you to succeed? I'm a student at IFA and a wikimedian. I've participated in the East Africa Strategy Summit in Uganda last year to discuss Wikimedia 2030 with fellow Wikimedians in Africa.
