John Beer (Q5596192) is not ULAN 500048620

ULAN 500048620 refers to a "British draftsman, active 1895-1915". John Axel Richard Beer (Q5596192) to a "Swedish illustrator" (1853 Stockholm–1906 London). ULAN 500065853 belongs to John Axel Richard Beer (Q5596192).It would be kind if you could revert your edit yourself. Thanks, --Marsupium (talk) 18:36, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

Now how much imagination does one need to see that "1906 London" is not in Sweden? --Anvilaquarius (talk) 17:27, 12 October 2017 (UTC)

1915 is after 1906. I have created John Beer (Q45912709) now. --Marsupium (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Now the other John Beer (Q45912709)

Please refer to the sources given on John Axel Richard Beer (Q5596192) and John Beer (Q45912709), especially for the dates of birth and death, note that there are two IDs for each of the two artists issued by five different institutions and kindly restore to the version before your edits! Thank you, --Marsupium (talk) 18:54, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

There is no proof at all in these double entries that these are two persons. Your edit "different from" makes such a claim, quite boldly, and IMHO wrongly. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 18:57, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Haha, ok this is also a way of improving Wikidata. The dates of birth and death were already divergent, but every revert by you makes me read the sources and find some new evidence. Have a nice evening, --Marsupium (talk) 20:00, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Well, I still cannot see any evidence that John Beer (Q45912709) existed. It's all "circa" or "active in". But feel free to make a fool or yourself, I won't hinder you anymore. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 07:52, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

VIAF

If you add ISNI, pls also add VIAF if it exists. [1] ISNI sever sometimes down. VIAF used on 1 mio and more humans. 92.227.216.55 23:39, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

I know. Here, the VIAF number is wrong since it comprises identifiers for two different people. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 09:12, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Reported it to ISNI and they split off the LC record and gave it a new ID https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q52063065&diff=669784504&oldid=669481243. Hopefully VIAF will split too. 78.55.205.137 09:37, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Great, thanks. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 10:50, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

New page for catalogues

Hi, I created a new page for collecting sites that could be added to Mix'n'match and I plan to expand it with the ones that already have scrapers by category. Feel free to use, expand. Best, --Adam Harangozó (talk) 19:40, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

Biographies of important Austrian women scientists (Q51838609)

Hallo, ich wollte nur kurz schreiben, dass ich deine Arbeit an Biographies of important Austrian women scientists (Q51838609) fortgeführt habe. Es sind nun alle 300 Frauen aufgenommen, außerdem habe ich Ansetzungsformen, Seiten und ggf. Autor*innen der Artikel ergänzt. Eine Liste findest du hier: Talk:Q51838609 Liebe Grüße --Emu (talk) 14:27, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Super, danke! --Anvilaquarius (talk) 14:32, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

Ränge

Hallo, ein missbilliger Rang sollte nur bei falschen Informationen gesetzt werden. Wenn die Information grundsätzlich korrekt ist, es aber genauere Informationen gibt (zB Geburtsdatum statt Geburtstag, Krankenhaus statt Ort), sollte die genauere Information auf bevorzugt gesetzt werden. --Emu (talk) 19:06, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Ok, werde ich so machen. Heißt das dann trotzdem, dass das unsinnige doppelte Erscheinen des Datums z. B. bei der Wikidata Infobox auf den Commons aufhört? --Anvilaquarius (talk) 19:10, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

Bei Pauline Halm (Q55851261) scheint es zumindest so zu sein. --Emu (talk) 19:50, 19 April 2021 (UTC)

authority control.js

Hi! I'm not sure if User talk:Magnus Manske/authority control.js still works, but anyway you can try User:Bargioni/moreIdentifiers, which does more or less the same thing (adding IDs from VIAF). If you have any question, you can ask me. Bye, --Epìdosis 06:59, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! --Anvilaquarius (talk) 07:16, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Schweizer

Bevor sich jemand beschwert: ja, mir ist bewusst, dass bei den fast 8000 Personen, zu denen ich die Staatsbürgerschaft Schweiz per QuickStatements hinzufüge, warhscheinlich einige dabei sind, wo das doch nicht stimmt oder doch anachronistisch ist. Ich habe versucht, diese automatisiert wegzulassen, aber einige sind ganz sicherlich durchgerutscht. Diese bitte einfach verbessern. Es sind aber alles immerhin Menschen mit Artikel im Hist. Lex. der Schweiz. Das ganze ist eine Aufräumaktion hinter schlampigst angelegten tausenden Wikidata-Item-Kreationen aus MixNMatch nach dem Hist. Lex. der Schweiz von einigen Usern. Einfach nur in MixNMatch auf "Item anlegen" klicken ist nicht der Weisheit letzter Schlusss, zumindest die grundlegenden Daten muss dann schon noch händisch nachtragen, außerdem irgendeine Art Beruf, und Normdaten wären auch schön. Schon die Beschreibungen (einfach der HLS-Artikelanfang oder ein paar Buchstaben oder gleich gar nichts) sind z. B. oft eine Frechheit. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 16:01, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Spangenburg is not a movie theater

This history shows you're the guy. Spangenburg is a high-school performing arts theatre. Can you fix? Dicklyon (talk) 00:31, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

It is a live theatre and (at least has been) a cinema. See: http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/10812 --Anvilaquarius (talk) 08:02, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

Ludwig Doblinger

Sind Ludwig Doblinger (Q106511375) und Ludwig Doblinger (Q106511374) die gleiche Person, wie das die GND-Warnung nahelegt? Ich bin unsicher … CC Kolja21 --Emu (talk) 19:16, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Die Lebensdaten weichen zwar deutlich voneinander ab (1816-1876 vs. 1809-1890), aber GND 132044285 (1816-1876) bezieht sich auf das Bayer. Musikerlex. Online, und dort findet sich nur Ludwig Doblinger (1809-1890). Imho die gleiche Person, aber Emu kennt sich in Österreich besser aus. --Kolja21 (talk) 19:49, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Seh ich auch so. Es ist der gleiche, berühmte Musikverlag, und es gab in dieser Generation keine zwei Ludwige. Das Bayer. Lexikon liegt einfach wie so oft falsch (bzw. lag falsch, inzwischen scheint es ja da auch zu stimmen). Die beiden WD-Einträge sollte man zusammenfügen. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 19:59, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Ach, die Frage kam von Emu ;) Bei Grove Music Online, Quelle Nr. 2 in der GND, steht nur: "Doblinger Austrian firm of music publishers. Friedrich Mainzer opened a music lending library in Vienna on 1 August 1817 which from 1825 also sold antiquarian music. Ludwig Doblinger acquired this business on 12 July 1857. On 1 August 1876 it passed to Bernhard Herzmansky (1852–1921) …" BMLO (Quelle Nr. 1) hat die abweichenden Lebensdaten unter "Brockhaus/Riemann 2004, Bd. 38" erfasst. Egal, welche Daten korrekt sind, steht der Zusammenführung nichts im Wege. --Kolja21 (talk) 20:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

 Done Datensätze zusammengeführt und abweichende Lebensdaten in GND vermerkt. --Kolja21 (talk) 20:18, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Danke euch beiden! --Emu (talk) 20:35, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Искра

Зачем ты рекламируешь букмекерскую контору? 2.135.191.194 15:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Because it is the official site for the business that runs that cinema. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 17:45, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

• Там нет уже кинотеатра. Там не крутят голливудские фильмы. Олимп - это букмекерская контора, которая даже сейчас не показывает футбольные матчи в этом месте. Не надо делать рекламу. --2.135.191.194 19:01, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

You obivously don't understand Wikidata. This is no "advertisement". It's information about the official website of the company operating the building in question. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 19:03, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

• No. The reader reading the encyclopedic information will see a link to a site that is not relevant. According to the site, it hasn't even been updated since 2014. And what exactly is "vsite.biz"? It's just a directory of organizations. Not official site. This site should be not in Wikipedia and even more so in Wikidata. 2.135.191.194 19:15, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

I want to understand Wikidata. For example, in Almaty there were two cinemas Alatau https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3732926 and Baikonur https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4075608. The building in which they were located was demolished, and a McDonald's restaurant was built in their place. Now we must to write on wikidata the official website mcdonalds.kz ? --2.135.191.194 19:33, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

"dissolved, abolished or demolished date" what mean? The cinema itself stopped its work in 2009, stopped showing films. Was pledged to the bank for 7 years. and only in 2016 the cinema building was dismantled. Which date should be set 2009 or 2016? 2.135.191.194 19:44, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

No, if the buildilng was demolished, of course not. But with the Iskra cinema, there is now that business called Olimp that actually shows TV screenings in that cinema (at least this is what the website says). So it is still some sort of cinema, at least screening something. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 09:26, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

На заборе х*й написано, а там дрова лежат. Man muss nicht immer glauben, was man sieht. Yes, some football matches were shown in that building for some time, but now there is no cinema there. The name "Olimp" is a well-known bookmaker's in Kazakhstan. I believe they were removed from that place after the adoption of the law. https://informburo.kz/novosti/bukmekerskim-kontoram-kazahstana-zapretili-nahoditsya-v-zhilyh-domah-127.html The cinema was located in the Three Bogatyrs residential complex 37.151.5.230 17:57, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Adding gender without a reference

I have noticed that you are adding gender statements to items that were created for University of Washington graduate students. We deliberately decided not to include gender in these items unless we had a reference to support it. You are not including a reference. On what basis are you adding gender? AdamSeattle (talk) 17:16, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

First name that is not only in the name, but also in the statement "first name" which has a name that is described as "male first name" (and is very unlikely to be unisex), and only for humans that have no P21 statement yet. The item P21 is not "gender", it is "sex or gender" (and it might be useful to not include it at all, admittedly). The only real good reason for having it is to have statistics about female/male bias in Wikidata and Wikipedia, but if thousands of "Wolfgang"s and "Henry"s aren't allowed to be declared "sex or gender" male, Wikidata is unnecessarily useless. If your stance is that effectively only the described (often deceased) people themselves could add the property, we'd better delete it altogether. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2023 (UTC)

Just found you via https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/117654 - thank you! If you could do some more such batches for items that have a GND this would be helpful for the work at Property talk:P227/human Humanisator (talk) 06:15, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Coordinates and false precision

When entering coordinates into the coordinate location (P625) field, please round them to the nearest arcsecond (Q829073), lest you create false precision (Q3467464). Thanks, Abductive (talk) 18:50, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

The coordinates are what I get from copying at Google or the OSM URL, and I'd rather not mess with them without creating mistakes (e.g. there are so many wrong coordinates for buildings on en.wikipedia because they have been rounded just too much, I guess). I usually fill in decimal coordinates, because that is what the maps give me, hence I cannot round to the archsecond. If Wikidata doesn't want that at all, it should round automatically, I think. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 21:21, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Request

Hello.

In the Wikidata page of Haluk Bilginer (Q470210), can you replace his photo from 2005 File:Haluk Bilginer.jpg with his photo from 2022 File:Haluk Bilginer2022.jpg?

I could not do it, because of technical problems.

All his photos have been categorized in Wikimedia Commons.

Yours sincerely, 31.200.18.161 06:08, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the update. 31.200.18.161 08:50, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
