Many of our most fruitful Wikidata projects involve creating items for humans. This session will offer several case studies of ethical considerations that emerge when describing humans in a public and open forum like Wikidata, some discussion of compiling best practices relating to creating identity-based statements, and a robust community discussion on these topics.

Session Leader: Mara Caelin, Yale University (Wikidata Affinity Group)
Speakers: Dr. Tajah Ebram, Rutgers University; Arielle J. Rodriguez, University of Washington Tacoma; David Fiora, Saint Mary's College
