Greetings to all of you. As you may be aware, we have commenced an 11-day Wikidata data-thon in collaboration with the celebrations of Wikidata's 11th birthday in India, starting today. As a part of this data-thon, we have listed some of the tasks on the event page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/Events/Wikidata_Eleventh_Birthday>[1] you can engage with to enhance the information within Wikidata. (The tasks related to this data-thon are not fixed. You can choose your own preferred tasks and be part of the data-thon.)
We have a set of tasks designed to be completed at specific intervals, occurring once every 11 days. Today, we have a minor task <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_India/Events/Wikidata_Eleventh_Birthday/list#Day_based_specific_tasks>[2] at hand, which involves adding the *original language of film* and *title *for Indian origin films that are missing this information in their respective Wikidata entries. We kindly request you to take a moment to visit the event page and participate in the datathon by including your name in the participants section if you haven't already done so.
