How the (project)[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Stolpersteine_goes_Wikidata] tries to move the vast knowledge kept in Wikipedia lists into Wikidata and then back to Wikipedia.
People with cochlear implants often require extensive training to adjust to the different, more mechanical soundscapes. Some professional applications offer up to a few dozen examples, but they do not always provide the option of training at home. An application called "Dacit" was developed as part of a master's thesis to give patients the opportunity to listen and train with a larger corpus, sourced from Wikidata, using pronunciation audio files from Wikimedia Commons. We demonstrate the self-reported improvements of patients and discuss the future of the app.
