Can a bot add in siblings?Edit

If someone has 11 children with entries in Wikidata someone has to add in the 10 siblings to each record of each child for 100 entries. This could better be handled by a bot that will give fewer errors. Does one exist already?  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk • contribs).

I'm not sure what the point would be. Queries would be better off just checking the parent-child data directly. --Yair rand (talk) 02:13, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
  • I think most people would be coming to Wikidata through Google or Siri or Alexa, and not running a query using SPARQL. Especially for entries not in English Wikipedia. --RAN (talk) 13:30, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
Poulpy (talk • contribs • logs) used to run such a bot, I believe. Thierry Caro (talk) 04:16, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
A bot would be best, but in the short term you can use User:Matěj Suchánek/moveClaim.js to copy claims from one item to another. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:17, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
If no one has the script available, I would be willing to create and run it, if a request is made via WD:RBOT. I believe there will be more family relations that can be handled the same way (sibblings, parents/children, grand-parents, uncles, etc). I am working out something similar with ranges (follows (P155) and followed by (P156)) in a serie/chain. Edoderoo (talk) 12:43, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
You have User:Magnus Manske/consistency_check.js that helps - Salgo60 (talk) 17:21, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Candidate for elected officeEdit

Is there a standard way we show someone was a candidate for an elected office without creating, say, 50 "candidate for Governor of state X" entries? If we created the categories would it also list the winner of the election or just the losers? --RAN (talk) 20:54, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

The usual way seems to be to create one item per election (often created anyway for Wikipedia), then each person can be listed with candidate (P726). E.g., 2012 South Korean presidential election (Q82241) Ghouston (talk) 04:15, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
There's also the inverse approach, using candidacy in election (P3602) on the person, pointing at the election item. --Oravrattas (talk) 08:26, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Death at seaEdit

Did we ever finalize a way to mark a death-at-sea? We were looking for a way to harmonize all the deaths at sea and which ones had the bodies recovered and which ones did not. We created death at sea (Q46998267) but did not agree on how best to utilize it, so it was never populated beyond a few demo records ... did it progress any since I left the conversation? We have a category for deaths at sea in English Wikipedia ... but how best to mark them here so we can get a comprehensive count and a comprehensive list. --RAN (talk) 23:58, 5 February 2019 (UTC)

The problem with death at sea (Q46998267) is that it's an event, not a location, so it's inconsistent to use it as a value of place of death (P20). However, at sea (Q55438959) can be used instead, so it seems to me that death at sea (Q46998267) can be deleted. It won't be possible to make a comprehensive count without also considering more specific values like North Atlantic Ocean (Q350134) which are used as a death locations, e.g., for Thomas Andrews (Q275937). Ghouston (talk) 03:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
As a way to harmonize, what about populating "manner of death" with death at sea (Q46998267) or at sea (Q55438959) in addition to accident?
I don't think that would be the way "manner of death" is supposed to be used. It would be like having "death on a train" or "death in Germany" as values. Ghouston (talk) 23:34, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
If the desire is just to make it easy to find all the deaths at sea, it's really no different to wanting to find all deaths in any other geographical area, like Germany. You can only do it by traversing the hierarchy of locations. That would mean ideally fitting "at sea" into the same hierarchy as "North Atlantic Ocean" or "Tasman Sea".

Wikidata dynamic listsEdit

Ban on synthetic fieldsEdit

Currently we ban the creation of a field containing a url if it can be synthesized from information from another field. It would be much better if Wikidata had a field called "Worldcat url" and "CIA World Fact Book url". For instance "Worldcat url" should be synthesized automatically from the LCCN_ID into a clickable url stored directly in Wikidata. We only get a link to Worldcat if that person has an entry in Wikipedia where it is synthesized on the fly from Wikidata. Some people use Wikidata directly as a source of information.

Copyright start dateEdit

Would there be any interest in having the date that copyright status begins as a field for newspapers and magazines. Currently you have to search here for the publication and it tells you the start date for copyrights (as best can be discerned to date). That information could be pulled into WikiCommons and WikiSource by a template with standardized wording. See for example: here for a hand-written example for the Asbury Park Press which did not file for renewal and The Jersey Jornal which did. Some publications had a more extensive copyright clearance search performed and gaps in renewals were found for individual issues, see Time magazine as an example. We would not be able to have a single date for Time magazine. --RAN (talk) 19:28, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

The template reading the Wikidata date would add this statement to the category for the articles in Commons and in Source:--RAN (talk) 02:46, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Articles published in the Jersey Journal are in the public domain prior to February 9, 1929. All articles starting on that date are currently under active copyright.

Authorities that use WikidataEdit

FindagraveEdit

Since English Wikipedia is removing links to Findagrave and the people removing the links refuse to migrate the data to Wikidata before deletion ... I wonder if we have a bot that finds the most probable matches and just needs a human eye to confirm or deny? Both Ancestry.com and Familysearch have this function. We migrated over the Findagrave ID if it used a standard template in external links in Wikipedia but most articles did not use that template. Most articles used it as a reference for the place of burial, and those are the ones being deleted now. --RAN (talk) 18:21, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

That looks like it only ran for flagged "famous" people, mostly actors. I add politicians, and they are almost never famous at Findagrave and I have to search for them manually. Can the bot be adjusted, I would love to have that as a project. --RAN (talk) 05:51, 28 January 2018 (UTC)

I’ve had good results sending corrections to VIAF using the “send us a comment” link on the bottom of their page. I included the VIAF and wikidata IDs and an external reference for the particular problem, and they fixed it in about a week. - PKM (talk) 20:33, 10 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed projectsEdit

Wikicalendar, a new wiki project so that full dates in articles can link to information on that day. A cursor hover will show the full date, day of the week, and how many years and days ago the event took place. A click on the link will bring you to a list of events that occurred on that day. People who were born and who died. Wikipedia pages that contain this information on specific dates can be migrated. Wikipedia pages can choose to just have the cursor hover for information on that date or a full link to Wikicalender.
