Missing descriptions and poor data

Searching for "HPC", I see several hundreds of items without description. This makes it very hard to distinguish them amongst other things that may be called "HPC" (eg I'm creating some stock exchanges).

Furthermore the info you're importing for some of the items is very poor, just performance (eg HPC (Q73269681)). The TOP500 page https://www.top500.org/system/9850 shows a lot more info.

You should at least use some of the textual info to make a meaningful description, eg "supercomputer HPC - PowerEdge 1950/SunFire X2200 Cluster Intel 53xx 2.33Ghz, Opteron 2.3 Ghz, Myrinet 10G: University of Southern California".

Thanks in advance for fixing this!

@Vladimir Alexiev, apologises for not answering. Yes, this is someone wold consider a bug, as only the first characters before a «-». I mentioned sometime ago I'll review those items, but keep in mind TOP500 importer created thousand of items, so, this should be done via bot or QuickStatements. Thanks for notifying this.

Amitie, your items violate the Wikidata rule that items cannot have the same name and (lack of) description. Do you plan to fix your items or should I move to delete them?

  • https://w.wiki/68LK shows 25 items named "HPC".
  • https://w.wiki/68LN finds 1700 supercomputer names that are used multiple times and have no description (or only "supercomputer")
  • https://w.wiki/68LP shows the worst offender: the name "POWER CHALLENGE" that's used for 511 instances. Checked the first 3, all are created by you

Also, @Warcelona: writes that now many of the Top500 links have stopped working. Can you check the links you imported?
