Wikiproject Witches
All through the 15th, 16th, 17th and 19th century there were multiple witch trails, mainly in Europe and America.
This project aims to document the information there is on those trails, and on the accused. About 85% of the persons accused where woman, because of the roles they fulfilled in daily life (midwifes, healers), and how vulnerable their position was in those specific times.
This involves different projects:
- Commons - categorisation and structured data
- Wikidata - d:Wikidata:WikiProject_Witches: creation of statements (for instance: accuser) to illustrate how people accused each other just to get redemption, translation of labels, adding names and information about the known witches (some are on Wikipedia, but those of who we do not have an article on the encyclopedia, may as well be relevant for Wikidata)
- Dutch Wikipedia - nl:Europese_heksenvervolging#Heksenvervolging_in_de_Nederlanden
- French Wikipedia - fr:Projet:Les_sans_pagEs/Sorcières
- English Wikipedia - ...
(*your project too?)
What can I do?Edit
We would like to map and categorize the information we have on the different projects. Translating the articles into your own language, and add information and sources from your country.
Local ProjectsEdit
Edinburgh UniversityEdit
The Edinburgh University created a really cool project around the 3100 accused witches in Scotland and visualized their history by adding their data into Wikidata.
Check it out! (How did she go forward in this project? Read Emma's blog!)
French WikipediaEdit
On the French Wikipedia, a list was created, with an associated map from a Sparql query listing victims of the witch hunts: fr:Liste des victimes de chasses aux sorcières. There is an associated project ː https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projet:Les_sans_pagEs/Sorci%C3%A8res#Projet_sur_Wikidata
