• IDs are then imported to Wikipedia articles in many languages

• Wikidata can be used to link IDs in two – or more – authority control systems

• Wikidata is copyright-free, linked, open data• Wikipedia editors can put ORCID iDs on user pages• Need to get more ORCIDs into Wikipedia/Wikidata• Wikidata welcomes your input!
