Wikidata weekly summary #49

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• • Development
  • Design improvements to the SetClaim API module
  • More work on implementing the simple inclusion syntax that will be 1 way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia
  • More work on Lua (the second way to access Wikidata data on Wikipedia)
  • Added parser page property to hold entity id in client. This fixes:
    • bugzilla:45037 - don’t show edit link if noexternallanglinks has suppressed all Wikidata links
    • bugzilla:44536 - have the edit link go directly to the Q### pages, instead of Special:ItemByTitle which shall make the link be more reliable and work for all namespaces
  • Selenium tests for deleted-property-handling
  • Selenium tests for multiline references
  • Selenium tests for add-sitelinks-from-client
  • Selenium tests for Entity-Selector-as-Searchbox
  • Selenium tests for language-table
  • Implemented in-process caching for entities
  • Lua support to access the repo data and implement getEntity (so you can use stuff like entity = mw.wikibase.getEntity("Q1459") in Lua modules)
  • rebuildTermSearchKey is now ready for production (this still needs to be run but once done it will make search case-insensitive)
  • Improved error reports from the API
  • Ground work for better edit summaries from the API
  • Added a table of content to item pages
  • Added debug functionality to be able to investigate why it takes longer than it should for Wikidata changes to show up on recent changes and watchlists on Wikipedia

Disambiguation link notification for March 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikidata weekly summary #50

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
    • Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
    • Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (bugzilla:45821)
    • d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
  • Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
  • Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
  • Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
  • Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
  • Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
  • Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
  • Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
  • Support for multi-line references in diff view
  • Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
  • Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
  • Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
  • Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny had a look at some data about Wikidata
• Events
  • 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
  • Wikidata trifft Archäologie
  • SMWCon Spring NYC
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
  • Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
  • Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
  • d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
  • Detailed list of bots
  • Collecting information about creating a bot
  • We’ve crossed Q8000000
• Did you know?
  • When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hack on one of these
  • Still looking for the right way to contribute for you? Have a look at d:Wikidata:Contribute

Wikidata weekly summary #51

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first 11 Wikipedias can now include data from Wikidata in their articles (If you want to see it in action see the infobox at it:Torino)
  • Worked on automatic summaries for statements
  • Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use {{#property:executive director}} instead of {{#property:p169}} for example
  • Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
  • Selenium tests for qualifiers
  • Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
  • Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
• Discussions/Press
  • Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
  • Proposal for a vandalism policy
  • Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on d:Q153)
  • Should Wikidata have featured items?
  • RFC about restricting the ability to create properties to some users
  • Heise.de reporting about deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias
  • Report about a collaboration event between Wikipedians and archeologists
• Events
  • Newline 2013
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
  • Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
  • Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
  • We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
  • We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
  • In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
  • We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at bugzilla:44228
  • Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: bugzilla:46461
  • Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
  • The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
  • Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
  • Wikidata was added to wikipulse
  • A template to retrieve data from Wikidata if no local value is set
• Did you know?
  • If you need to merge two items d:Help:Merge explains how
• Open Tasks for You
  • See note at the end of this weekly summary
  • Help test qualifiers (m:Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer#Qualifiers - see also example statements there) on the test wiki so we can roll it out with the next release
  • Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
  • Add some missing descriptions to those items with the same label?
  • Hack on one of these

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Calico Dome1.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Calico Dome1.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [3], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
• add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Eeekster (talk) 21:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #52

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • The first year is over. Thank you everyone for being amazing and helping to build Wikidata and making it more than we could possibly have hoped for already. <3
  • Put a lot of work into improved support for Internet Explorer 8
  • Worked on improving recent changes code in client
  • Finished valueview refactoring. Created new extension “ValueView”
  • Implemented string formatter
• Discussions/Press
  • RFC for defining the bureaucrats role on Wikidata

  • There is now a page showing the current lag for changes propagating to the Wikipedias so they can show up in watchlists and recent changes for example. This should ideally be in the range of a few minutes. Right now it is higher because of some abnormally high bot activity but decreasing. Should be down to a few minutes soon.
  • There’s now a badge you can add to Wikipedia articles to indicate there is data about it on Wikidata
  • We hit Q10000000
  • A Wikidata item in the wild ;-)
• Did you know?
  • There are a number of task forces that take care of specific jobs or topics on Wikidata
  • You can get database dumps to play with
  • There are a lot of stats about Wikidata on http://stats.wikimedia.org
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hit a random item and add a missing source?
  • Hack on one of these

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Wikidata weekly summary #53

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Development
  • Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
  • Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
  • Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
  • Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
  • Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
  • Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
• Events/Press
  • right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
• Discussions
  • The RFC about bureaucrats was closed
  • RfC about policy for translation admins
  • We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
  • Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
  • There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
  • If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
  • There is a new user right: property creators
  • There is now a page to request deletion of a property
  • We now have Bureaucrats
  • Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
• Open Tasks for You
  • Hack on one of these
  • Help draft the next weekly summary

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

I have nominated Gujarat elections for speedy deletion as you have already copied it to its proper place, Template:Gujarat elections. I also copied the bulk of the talk page, minus the AFC items. As you reviewed your own submission it's not really reasonable to say that this went through the WP:AFC process. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 18:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Indian Institute of Planning and Management

Hi Nizil Shah, I'm beginning the copy-edit to the above article that you requested at the GOCE Request page. Please feel free to contact me, or to correct or revert my edits if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 20:43, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for taking this on hand. Will see after you complete full copyedit.--Nizil (talk) 21:33, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Nizil, I'm coming to the end of the copy-edit now and I invite you to review the results. Are there any outstanding issues you'd like me to fix whilst I'm still working on the article? Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 07:10, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

User:Baffle gab1978, you have done Fantastic copyediting and sorted out many problems including NPOV. Ranking and Job placement sections look like endorsement of institute to me. Many of those ranking systems may not notable or important. Institute itself is involved in controversy over ranking and job placement claims as stated in Controversy section. Even recognition of institute is in conflict, so how much importance should be given to rankings? what do you think regarding it? --Nizil (talk) 10:19, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments on the article's talk page Nizil. I've tried to make it as neutral as possible, and I've removed more advert-like text from the article, and tidied the references (though some of the bot-fixed refs may need corrections). The rankings, job placement and other sections appear to be properly referenced, and I've done some work to reduce "Controversies" a little. I'm declaring the copy-edit Done; feel free to contact me about any issues arising from the copy-edit. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 00:09, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Satisfied with your copyedit. You have done fantastic work. Though salaries not removed as you stated earlier on talk page, its ok as tone of article is now neutral and non-promotional. :) Thanks and Thumbs up. --Nizil (talk) 08:43, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

No worries; I left the salaries in as they're referenced but I did try and reduce the promotional tone a little. Thanks for the barnstar. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 10:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Bihar school meal poisoning incident

Just wanted to let you know I reverted your edit on Bihar school meal poisoning incident. There was more than one illness, and illnesses is the correct plural. I did not mark it as vandalism because I'm certain your intentions were good. You can reply here if you like, I will be following this page. —    Bill W.    (Talk)  (Contrib)  — 14:30, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh

I'm about halfway through the copyedit, which was going well until Sarovara started reverting my judicious replacement of "Osho" with "Rajneesh". As I noted on the talk page, this is very confusing to the reader (who sees the article's subject referred throughout the article by a totally different name than the article's title—a name Rajneesh used only in the last year of his life, in what may have been an attempt to rebrand himself). I left a note on Sarovara's talk page, and you may want to stop by there too; I presume that they're trying to improve the article. I haven't look at the article's GA history, but I wonder if this (or similar) is what sank the earlier nom. Good luck and all the best, Miniapolis 17:59, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

Delhi Legislative Assembly election, 2013

Don see a source for this(Lihaas (talk) 18:26, 19 December 2013 (UTC)).

why did you change the contents on tristutik section

Hi Nizil,

Why did you ask to change the contents back to the previous one for Tristutik section on wikipedia? Are you a Jain scholar or helping any Jain institution?

Agamik gachha does not belive in fourth stuti as per the Jain Parampara no Etihas book. They never recite fourth stuti in any of the rituals. It was an offshoot of Punamiya gacchh and was founded in V.S 1250 by Acharya Shilbhadra who belive the Samvatsary on Bhadarva sud Pancham as contrasting to Tapa gacchh's belief of Samvatsari on Bhadarva Sud Chaturthi.

The so called tristuik mat is an offshoot of the present tapa gacchh. It has the same samachari of tapa gachha except the difference in chaityavandan vidhi in pratikraman, samayik iriyavahi vidhi and one of the 50 gathas of vandita sutra. They do not believe in 'ekantik' nishedh of fourth stuti of samyak-drashti devtas.

The information you asked to revert on the website is somewhat misleading. If you think you have better knowledge on the subject, please forward me. I am very much happy to read and review it.

Pranam,

Hemin Sanghvi Heminsanghvi (talk) 20:42, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply

Thanks. I am not used to wikipedia edit. I am sorry if I misunderstood. Indeed, it was edited back by Materialscientist. I apologize. I will try to go through wikipedia guidelines and see how can I edit with providing references for the same.

Police mug shots

Hi Krantmlverma (talk · contribs) is a serial offender here, at Commons, at Wikisource and on Hindi Wikipedia. He has been blocked or banned on many occasions but persists in reinstating unacceptable images of Indian revolutionaries/freedom fighters. I've just removed a couple of examples where he appears yet again to have uploaded previously deleted photos to Commons and that you have then added to Wikipedia articles, eg: at Ram Prasad Bismil. We have no idea who took the photos or when they were first published. However, many of these frontal shots of India revolutionaries/freedom fighters turn out to be police mug shots and have only recently found their way out of official files, meaning that they are first published long after the subject's death. Indian copyright law says that anonymous photographs, government works, and works of corporate authorship enter the public domain 60 years after the date on which they were first published.

It's a nuisance but I hope that it makes sense. - Sitush (talk) 09:06, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
