Romaine
What did you work on?

Getting more monuments with identifier on Wikidata; We have a lot already, but untagged with ID resulting in duplicates. Romaine is in touch with Andre on this. The task description has to be clearer when we want to involve more people. [Action: look into describing this better and defining todo] Matching is not easy here. Maybe captured in part in Commons category tree? https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T160458
Looking into the status of what Wikimedia Sweden has done so far regarding importing monuments to Wikidata (mapping tables https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables + https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_WLM/Mapping_tables/be-bru_(nl) ). Romaine wants to get more people to review the description captured by COH pages. Scale it as they go with importing order.
Archiving some meeting minutes of the international team
