Things to fix edit


Taxa versus species edit

Norops duellmani (Q6450757) and Anolis duellmani (Q2814307) are the same taxon, in this example different wikis link to different names, and sometimes the page names don't match.

Deprecation edit

See Help:Deprecation. One example of using this would be to correct dates of articles where CrossRef has got the date wrong (e.g., Wiley metadata).

Withdrawn identifiers edit

e.g. if an ISSN has been cancelled use reason for deprecated rank (P2241) withdrawn identifier value (Q21441764)

Deprecated identifiers edit

See Haplostoma humesi, New Species (Copepoda: Cyclopoida: Ascidicolidae), Associated with a Compound Ascidian (Aplidium Sp.) from Madagascar (Q104118218) for an example with two DOIs.

Duplicates edit

Trying to clean up Zootaxa, first example The type specimens of Tachinidae (Diptera) housed in the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires (Q29469527) and The type specimens of Tachinidae (Diptera) housed in the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia”, Buenos Aires (Q35800184)

Problem is that Revision of the neotropical Exoristini (Diptera, Tachinidae): the status of the genera Epiplagiops and Tetragrapha (Q35950285) cites both, but they are not merged in that references list of cited works.

I got bored and manually fixed the duplication.


Another test case: Revision of Zorion Pascoe (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), an endemic genus of New Zealand (Q79429489) and Revision of Zorion Pascoe (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), an endemic genus of New Zealand (Q28939048), where one has CrossRef DOI and is cited by A checklist of New Zealand Cerambycidae (Insecta: Coleoptera), excluding Lamiinae (Q56166058), the other has Zenodo DOI, has authors instead of author strings, and is linked to a taxon Zorion taranakiensis (Q14848194).

problems edit

Wikidata conflates names and taxa, see wikipedia:User:Peter_coxhead/Wikidata_issues, Wikidata:Property_proposal/taxon_synonym_string, is it possible to resolve this?

For a summary of properties see Template:Taxa Versus Names.

properties edit

Properties of a taxon (Q16521)     

taxon name (P225)   taxon rank (P105)   parent taxon (P171)   taxon common name (P1843)  

taxon synonym (P1420)   taxon range map image (P181)   hybrid of (P1531)  

taxon author (P405)  

Examples: Synalpheus pinkfloydi (Q29367343)

geography edit


type locality edit

type locality (biology) (P5304)  

Locality must be a Wikidata item. Qualifiers include object named as (P1932)   and point in time (P585)   and coordinate location (P625)   (e.g., Solanum aspersum (Q1305990).

We can create a map of type localities: Try it!

nomenclature edit

nomenclature entities edit

protonym (Q14192851)      basionym (Q810198)     

taxon identifiers edit

ITIS TSN (P815)   Encyclopedia of Life ID (P830)   NCBI taxonomy ID (P685)   GBIF taxon ID (P846)   IPNI plant ID (P961)   Plant List ID (Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew) (P1070)   IUCN taxon ID (P627)   Tropicos ID (P960)   WCSPF ID (P3591)   Avibase ID (P2026)   MSW ID (P959)   BOLD Systems taxon ID (P3606)   MycoBank taxon name ID (P962)   Index Fungorum ID (P1391)  


page level link between name and BHL edit

Use BHL page ID (P687) as a reference for a taxon name (P225), e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11577#P225

=== genome --

sequenced genome URL (P6800) for link to genome, e.g. Asian tiger mosquito (Q477918) has https://metazoa.ensembl.org/Aedes_albopictus

Nice examples for literature mapping edit

Interesting cases edit

Names that aren't taxa edit

There are cases where names have an entry but they are not instances of taxa, e.g Satsuma chalybeia (Q25351070) which is described as a "name that may not be used" and is an instance of unavailable combination (Q17487588) synonym (Q1040689) and Satsuma Murray (1874) non Adams (1868) (Q25661771)(!). Looks like an attempt to separate names from taxa...

What this also means is that we can't rely on simply searching for things that are instances of taxon (Q16521) when looking to match names.

Traits edit

Acta botanica Boreali-Occidentalia Sinica (Q27721266) edit

https://www.wanfangdata.com.cn/sns/perio/xbzwxb/?tabId=article&publishYear=2020&issueNum=12&isSync=0&page=2 and CNKI. DOIs for some articles but they don't seem to be resolving. For example https://d.wanfangdata.com.cn/periodical/xbzwxb202101001 has DOI http://dx.chinadoi.cn/10.7606/j.issn.1000-4025.2021.01.0001 which doesn't resolve.

Acta Botanica Yunnanica (Q5683696) edit

Several name changes, multiple data sources, Chinese and English, lack of pagination data in some cases, mixed DOI agencies, not all DOIs resolve. PDFs available. Oh the fun we will have...

Can use Internet Archive to extract page numbers e.g., SOME NEW TAXA OF OLEACEAE FROM TIBET,CHINA (Q106563578) from https://archive.org/download/plantdiversity-0253-2700-32749/plantdiversity-0253-2700-32749_page_numbers.json

One challenge is the overlap between Wanfang volumes 21-26 and journal.kib.ac.cn. Wanfang has pages and DOIs, journal.kib.ac.cn doesn't have either, but does have PDFs. So we need to somehow crosslink these :(

Acta Entomologica Sinica (Q21386079) edit

Lots of articles already, some with CNKI DOIs. Need to explore further, and add PDFs and other links.

It looks like the links I had in BioNames are now gone, so need to remap. Stevenliuyi did some amazing work adding articles with CNKI DOIs, but these lack volume numbers and pagination, so need to add those. I'd also like to archive and link to the PDFs. Rdmpage (talk) 11:50, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Acta Mycologica (Q27724065) edit

Note that DOI dates are often incorrect, they look to be dates article went online, not when it was published!


Acta Palaeontologica Sinica (Q15746639) edit

CNKI has issued DOIs for the complete journal (as far as I can determine). The journal also has a hoe page http://gswxb.cnjournals.cn/gswxben/home that has PDFs and also includes DOIs. The HTML has citation_ tags but poorly implemented with author footnotes included, no DOI or pagination, etc.

OK, more complicated. CNKI has complete journal, but DOIs have been issued by different sources.

Acta Zoologica Sinica (Q105241277) edit

ISSN 0001-7302, needs lots of work, became Current Zoology (Q15749150).

Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica (Q15761826) edit

Name changes, ISSN changes, etc. Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica (Q15761826) and Zoological Systematics (Q21386166). Lack of pagination data. Lots of articles already added by @Stevenliuyi: with CJFD journal article ID (P6769) identifier, but these include old articles in Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica (Q15761826) linked to new name for journal Zoological Systematics (Q21386166).

I've started to move the pre-2014 articles to Acta Zootaxonomica Sinica (Q15761826) and adding the Wanfang DOIs. Pagination have to be added later.

2020-11-14 Danger Will Robinson! CNKI and Wanfang article numbering is different, so can't rely on simply mapping Wanfang URL to CNKI even though they look very similar :(. Will need to be cleverer about the mapping...

American Museum Novitates (Q4744472) edit

This journal has suffered from having BHL treat issues as titles, so that Wikidata has separate items for articles that have poor metadata and aren't linked to the journal. Seems to be restricted to pre-1923 content, will need to check. Given that BHL continues to do this, will need to spend some time linking to newer BHL and IA content...

  • I've linked most(all?) stray pre-1923 articles to Handles and the journal itself. 2020-12-18

Annales de Parasitologie Humaine et Comparée (Q21384994) edit

Many articles with PMID but no DOI (and also badly translated English titles). See https://w.wiki/55Ld for query for PMID but no DOI. I have matched PMIDs to records locally, need to move this to Wikidata.

Annales Zoologici (Q15761023) edit

Article A revision of the genus Heliophanus C. L. Koch, 1833 (Aranei: Salticidae) (Q60864671) has a bad Internet Archive ID (P724) as it contains []. Need to fix.

The Bryologist (Q7720447) edit

We have lots of BioOne DOIs for articles before 2000, which is when BioOne first has content for this journal. Prior to 2000 all DOIs that resolve to content are JSTOR DOIs. Looks like BioOne feed CrossRef a bunch of DOIs for which it never had content, hence CrossRef metadata has lots of duplicate DOIs. Some of these are in Wikidata... what a mess.

I've added JSTOR DOIs to those pre-2000 articles that only had "fake" BioOne DOIs, and added all JSTOR-DOI content prior to 2000 Rdmpage (talk) 13:46, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France (Q21385878) edit

Note that we also have some BHL DOIs for this journal, and also there are a small number of articles in Horizon.

There is overlap between Persee and lasef.org. CrossRef from 2018 points to lasef.org, landing page is volume not individual srticle.

So we have Persee and lasef.org overlap 2008-2016, 2017 is just lasef.org, then 2018 - CrossRef

Bulletin of Botanical Research (Q55758940) and Bulletin of Botanical Research (Q5735529) edit

Need to sort out ISSNs and history

Also bad things have happened involving mismatch between metadata (titles and pages) and Internet Archive PDFs. Need to review all articles and sort this out :(

For example Cloning and Gene Expression of 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Synthase Gene( AsHMGS ) from Aquilaria sinensis (Lour.) Gilg (Q96107615) title doesn't match first line or pagination, and IA PDF is for different article.

Note that there are duplicate DOIs, e.g. 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2007.05.002 appears in the metadata for two articles!

Metadata for Japanese Journal of Ichthyology (Q21385442) retrieved via DOIs often lacks titles, will need to add manually. Also need to add titles in multiple languages via harvesting web site.

Journal of China Agricultural University (Q27438849) edit

Online but will require some effort to get list of articles http://zgnydxxb.ijournals.cn/zgnydxxb/ch/index.aspx

Journal of Japanese Botany (Q5946705) edit

Three articles so far, note that Japanese Species of Parmelia Ach. (sens. str.), Parmeliaceae (Q59123248) is a composite of several articles with the same title (i.e., it is a series of papers).

Journal of The Asiatic Society of Bengal (and Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula) edit

This journal contains Materials for a Flora of the Malayan Peninsula, which has also been issued as a separate reprint.

Mycologia (Q1962302) edit

Multiple DOIs, duplication, redirects, etc. Plus we have items from PubMed that don't have DOIs. In short, a clusterfuck.

Suggested work flow:

Map DOIs 10.3852 to Wikidata, use php doi_to_doi.php to get redirect DOIs, map those to Wikidata, then see if we need to add extra DOIs to those items (i.e., 10.3852 and 10.1080) https://w.wiki/53Nn
Map PMIDs to Wikidata for references that lack DOIs in Wikidata https://w.wiki/53Nk then add those DOIs to Wikidata
Map JSTOR to Wikidata, add JSTOR ids if missing from Wikidata
Merge records with different DOIs and update corresponding Wikidata items
Add any missing records to Wikidata

Issues edit

Using redirection to find the "other DOI" for 10.3852 uncovered 25 items that are duplicates, i.e., both DOIs have a Wikidata item:

Mycologia
Years Source DOIs Notes
1909-2004 JSTOR 10.2307 Resolve to JSTOR
2005-2016 Now on T&F 10.3852 DOIs like 10.3852/mycologia seem to be redirects to 10.1080
1909-2022 T&F 10.1080 Complete coverage, so many duplicates of JSTOR content
1945-2020 PubMed Some missing DOIs Sporadic, many lacking DOIs


These duplicates have now been merged.

Then looked at items with PMID but no DOI in time period 2005-2016, these seem to be articles with no DOI at all.

Next issue is to identify those records that have only one DOI in Wikidata. These correspond to item with 10.3852 DOIs, a Wikidata item, and no Wikidata item for the 10.1080 DOI. I have added the missing DOIs to these records (they now have 2 DOIs).

This leaves us with DOIs for this time period that have no Wikidata item at all. These will be added.

DOIs from 2017 onwards are just T&F so these can be added directly.

Records for 1909-2014 will have to be merged where they have two DOIs, and we also need to check for PubMed-only records, of which there are a number. PMIDs will link both DOIs, so will need both DOis added, then add missing DOI for records with one DOI, then add missing records (and extra DOIs).

Details edit

Progress: volume 96

-- Look at a volume SELECT guid, title, volume, spage, epage, doi, wikidata, pmid, pii FROM publications_tmp WHERE issn='0027-5514' AND volume=96 ORDER BY CAST(spage AS SIGNED);

-- add DOIs to records with PMID but no DOI SELECT CONCAT(pii, char(9),'P356', char(9), '"', doi , '"') FROM publications_tmp WHERE issn='0027-5514' AND volume=96 and wikidata is null and pmid is not NULL ORDER BY pii;

-- Get wikidata for DOIs with no PMID SELECT guid FROM publications_tmp WHERE issn='0027-5514' AND volume=96 and wikidata is null and pii is null;

-- Get any articles with newer DOIs that we should add SELECT * FROM publications_tmp WHERE issn='0027-5514' AND volume=96 and wikidata is null and pii is null and doi like '10.1080%';

Russian Journal of Genetics / Genetic edit

Wikidata has these journals confused. For example Gene diversity for haptoglobin and transferrin classical markers among Hindu and Muslim populations of Aligarh City, India. (Q48605442) is stated as being published in Russian Journal of Genetics (Q15753063) (the English language journal) with a link to PubMed, but PubMed says it is published in Genetika which is the Russian journal (which lacks a Wikidata item). Russian Journal of Genetics (Q15753063) has three ISSNs, 1022-7954, 1608-3369, 0016-6758, the last one (0016-6758) is for Genetika (Moskva) https://portal.issn.org/resource/issn/0016-6758. Need to unpack this journal and link articles to correct journal. Note that the English language articles will (mostly? all?) be translations of the articles in Genetika.

For the case of the article "Gene diversity for haptoglobin and transferri..." the Wikidata record is from GENETIKA but Wikidata links this to Russian Journal of Genetics. A bit of a mess :(.

Sichuan Journal of Zoology (Q21385429) edit

Some articles with DOIs, PDFs available, website is a bit sluggish. Has English and Chinese metadata.

Taxon (Q2003024) edit

There is a big gap in DOI coverage where we have JSTOR ids but no DOIs. These DOIs exist for Wiley content, so need to match DOIs to existing Wikidata records (from JSTOR).

Volumes to do are 57-61, see https://w.wiki/3dCH

Lepidoptera Science (Q21385526) edit

Journal has several names, not sure of the timing of each, e.g. Transactions of the Lepidopterological Society of Japan, Tyô to Ga, Lepidoptera Science.

My first import generate a number of duplicates as I didn't check that DOIs were unique before adding them (doh!). This resulted in 1348 duplicates which I am merging.

I also want to link these articles to their CiNii identifiers.


Vestnik Zoologii (Q21385272) edit

Volume 42 (2008) onwards has CrossRef DOIs, although there are issues with their resolution. Prior to 2008 lots of articles online, not all with volumes, etc.

Zoological Research (Q15766889) edit

Many articles already in Wikidata, mix of DOIs (not all work), also some coverage in Wanfang and CNKI. Wikidata coverage is based primarily on PubMed. Note that there are at least three different DOI agencies, and some overlap in DOIs and/or agencies

Two ISSNs (and two Wikidata items) Zoological Research (Q15766889) 0254-5853 and Zoological Research (Q27714095) 2095-8137

According to NLM "Began with Volume 37, issue 5 (18 September 2016)." https://locatorplus.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=5&ti=1,5&SC=Title&SA=Zoological%20research&PID=e3kbuLJdLaFS0PmiKWaW_rCl&SEQ=20210406112547&SID=2 but this is not entirely clear from the journal itself. For example, the cover for "Volume 35 Issue 5 18 September 2014" (3516) says ISSN 2095-8137 whereas "Volume 35 Issue 3 18 May 2014" has ISSN 0254-5853. 2014 also seems to be the year that the DOIs have mixed ISSNs. What a mess. Cover of vol 35 issue 4 18 July 2014 has ISSN 2095-8137 and also DOIs with that ISSN, so I think that os the issue when the ISSN changed.

Note that CrossRef and Wanfang DOIs overlap in volume 29! Also looks like not all Crossref DOIs work :(

Added most of 0254-5853 vols 1-34,35 still need to add Chinese titles to post vol 29 as many are Pubmed English translations. Will need to import Chinese titles and store in multilingual as current code uses DOI as GUID and hence misses the Chinese titles. Rdmpage (talk) 13:47, 2 May 2022 (UTC)

Multilingual titles edit

If you have a Chinese title (e.g., "西北植物学报") and a transliteration (e.g., "Xibei zhiwu xuebao") then you can connect the two using pinyin transliteration (P1721). See Acta botanica Boreali-Occidentalia Sinica (Q27721266).

Quote from Contributions to the botanical journal Sunyatsenia from 1930 to 1948 (Q28944969)

"Names of Chinese botanists follow the convention of placing the family name first followed by given names; names of Westerners follow the western convention of placing the family name last. Chinese botanists mostly followed the Wade-Giles system of Romanization when transliterating their name; and the current pinyin system was initiated late in the careers of most of the early Chinese botanists around 1950s. They were not required to adopt the pinyin system if they had actively published and were known under a different transliteration of their name."

Wade-Giles is Wade-Giles (Q208442). This means we may need to take some care in handling Chinese names for older literature.

Titles with HTML markup edit

title (P1476) shouldn't have any markup, but you can add a qualifier to the title title in HTML (P6833) to include the markup. For example, see Sur le genre Trypanoxyuris (Oxyuridae, Nematoda) IV. Sous-genre Trypanoxyuris parasite de Primates Cebidae et Atelidae (suite) Étude morphologique de Trypanoxyuris callicebi n. sp. (Q64173850).

Full text edit

Note document file on Wikimedia Commons (P996) e.g. for A new cryptic species of Anolis lizard from northwestern South America (Iguanidae, Dactyloinae) (Q58700998) which essentially embeds a PDF in Wikidata!

Checksums edit

Maybe add checksum (P4092) as a property to a publication, as a way to link (indirectly) to content, see also https://hash-archive.org and https://bentrask.com/?q=hash://sha256/98493caa8b37eaa26343bbf73f232597a3ccda20498563327a4c3713821df892 by Ben Trask (Q63232898).

Author matching and related issues edit

Matches without series ordinal edit

Note that User:EvaSeidlmayer has added author (P50) to lots of references without adding series ordinal (P1545), and leaving author name string (P2093) in place, so we have two entries for the same author, one as a thing and one as a thing (see e.g., North American distribution ofEleocharis mamillata(Cyperaceae) and confusion withE. macrostachyaandE. palustris (Q100395512) ).


Redirects edit

Wikispecies edit

Sometimes we have authors (or other entities) that two Wikidata items (e.g., two links to Wikispecies) when there is really only one entity (e.g., one person). An example is Eduardo Flórez Daza (Q21392863) and Eduardo Flórez Daza (Q56650857). These are the same person, and the Wikispecies entry for Eduardo Flórez Daza is a redirect to Álvaro Eduardo Flórez-Daza. The convention for this seems to be:

In this case Eduardo Flórez Daza (Q21392863) is now mostly empty and data on this person can be found at Eduardo Flórez Daza (Q56650857).

Authors edit

When merging authors, e.g. John William Thieret (Q102229589) with John William Thieret (Q21390395) the expectation is that a BOT will update every link to Q102229589 to point to Q 21390395. This process seems to take a long time. Telegram chat suggests 8 days https://t.me/c/1497612692/4509. Q102229589 was made a redirect 2023-07-19, the links were updated 2023-07-27 by User:KrBot (eight days later).

Bibliographic relationships edit

Reviews edit

Could use for reviews of books, etc.

Translations edit

Two New Species of the Weevil Genus Mecysmoderes Schoenherr, 1837 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae: Ceutorhynchinae) from Vietnam (Q99837830) in Entomological Review (Q47161189) is the English language version of ДВА НОВЫХ ВИДА ДОЛГОНОСИКОВ РОДА MECYSMODERES SCHOENHERR, 1837 (COLEOPTERA, CURCULIONIDAE: CEUTORHYNCHINAE) ИЗ ВЬЕТНАМА (Q99838137) in Entomologicheskoe Obozrenie (Q4532102). How do we represent this relationship?

OK, we can use edition or translation of (P629) and its inverse has edition or translation (P747) to link the two works together. Maybe should also make translated article and instance of version, edition or translation (Q3331189).


Errata edit

The article The first African record of Artolenzites acuta comb. nov. (Basidiomycota, Polyporaceae) (Q99931585) has an erratum Erratum to: The first African record of Artolenzites acuta comb. nov. (Basidiomycota, Polyporaceae) (Q99888822). To connect an article to its errata we use corrigendum / erratum (P2507) as a property of the original article, hence we have Q99931585 -- P2507 --> Q99888822

Note that there are bots that automatically add instance of (P31) erratum (Q1348305) to erata (see history of Erratum to: The first African record of Artolenzites acuta comb. nov. (Basidiomycota, Polyporaceae) (Q99888822) ).

Note also that User:Trilotat has some useful; queries to find corrections and the things they correct https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Trilotat/SPARQL#Corrections,_errata_and_corrigenda

PDFs edit

To add a PDF for an article use full work available at URL (P953), add file format (P2701) Portable Document Format (Q42332) as a qualifier to say that it is a PDF, and add archive URL (P1065) with a link to the URL in the Wayback machine if it has been archived there. See Trithecoides, a new subgenus of Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) (Q89666437) for an example.

Books edit

One model is the "book" is written work (Q47461344) which has basic information (title, author) and OCLC work ID (P5331) as an identifier (for example). Then. we have editions version, edition or translation (Q3331189) that have ISBNs (e.g., ISBN-10 (P957), Google Books ID (P675) etc. Editions are linked to works by has edition or translation (P747), works are linked to editions edition or translation of (P629). The Wikidata:WikiProject Books wants every book to have both written work (Q47461344) and at least one version, edition or translation (Q3331189), which seems redundant for many cases. For now I use Google Books to add books and by default make them written work (Q47461344). I follow Wikidata:WikiProject Books if there are multiple editions that seem important (e.g., they are cited).

Wikisource edit

See for example The Afghan War (Q19077572).

A version, edition or translation (Q3331189) has document file on Wikimedia Commons (P996), linking to a file on Commons, and Wikisource index page URL (P1957) which is the link to the Wikisource page for the transcription of the book.

Chapters edit

A chapter (Q1980247) is part of (P361) a book, and the book should list each chapter as has part(s) (P527), see for example The Canterbury Tales (Q191663)


Citations edit

In Ridleyandra merohmerea (Gesneriaceae), a new species from Kelantan, Peninsular Malaysia (Q42258926) I explored adding citations without DOIs as strings using unknown (Q24238356). See also proposal by GerardM for a citation string Wikidata:Property proposal/cites work string.

On the basis of this (unsuccessful) proposal GerardM has been exploring adding citations to cites work (P2860) using placeholder for "somevalue" (Q53569537), see for example Can trophic rewilding reduce the impact of fire in a more flammable world? (Q57805204).

Given that Quickstatements struggles with placeholder for "somevalue" (Q53569537) we will need to look at using the API to edit these statements directly (using unique statement ids). Need to be able to"

  • add a citation that lacks an item (with qualifiers)
  • retrieve details of citation that lacks item so we can try and add or match it
  • update citation that lacks an item with corresponding item

Things to fix edit

New species and new records of ant-eating spiders from Mediterranean Europe (Araneae: Zodariidae) (Q104465474) has the same DOI cited many times, but this is an error as each references is different! So we have massive duplication of works cited.
