== Mix'n'match and soweego: call for support ==

Dear {{ping|Deansfa}}

<div style="padding: 10px; color: black; background-color: #9cf; -moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; border-radius: 10px; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; clear: both;">
    <center>
        <big>TL;DR:</big>
        <ul>
            <li style="list-style:none;"><big><code>soweego</code> catalogs are in Mix'n'match.</big></li>
            <li style="list-style:none;">Why don't you show your support with a star?</li>
            <li style="list-style:none;">'''https://github.com/Wikidata/soweego'''</li>
        </ul>
    </center>
</div>

First, thank you for being a Mix'n'match [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/] user.

Does the name <code>soweego</code> ring you a bell?<br />
It's a machine learning system that links Wikidata to large catalogs [https://soweego.readthedocs.io/].<br />
It's a close friend of Mix'n'match, which mainly caters for small catalogs.<br />

The latest catalogs uploaded by soweego need some love: why don't you check them out?<br />
If you are a music enthusiast, ''Discogs'' and ''MusicBrainz'' are what you need: musicians [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2694], [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2731], bands [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2695], [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2732], and records [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2696], [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2733].<br />
Are you passionate about cinema? ''IMDb'' is there with actors [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2709], directors [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2710], musicians [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2711], producers [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2478], writers [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2712], and movies [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/#/catalog/2713].

I would be really grateful if you could support soweego with a GitHub star:<br />
