Welcome to Wikidata, CanadianCodhead!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards!

Soccer stats

Hello! I noticed that you are adding detailed statistics for some players, but I think that the first thing to discuss is how to do it in the best way. I think we should specify end time (P582) for current teams with no value, not with unknown value[1]. Further, I believe that statistics should be completely removed from member of sports team (P54) qualifiers since there it is impossible to indicate which tournaments are taken into account and on what date the statistics are checked. Look at the Carlos Strandberg (Q15534391) where participant in (P1344) with 2015–16 Russian Premier League (Q19915706) has two teams and two number of matches. It's wrong and useless. Did you read this discussion this discussion? Now we are able to specify statistics (matches, goals, etc.) as separate properties. Look at Carlos Strandberg (Q15534391) career statistics of the Russian Super Cup (Q290424). I believe that in the same way we can fill in not only career indicators, but also seasonal. I believe that LesserJerome agrees with me. Then we must agree on how to store and update these statistics most optimally and with minimal duplication. We need to first discuss this with Wikidata:WikiProject Sport results and Wikidata:WikiProject Association football. For the purpose of the infobox and the detailed table, we need to have a separate number of Carlos Strandberg (Q15534391) goals for both the Ural and CSKA in 2015–16 Russian Premier League (Q19915706), but at the same time we need the total number of goals in 2015–16 Russian Premier League (Q19915706) to be able to sort the best scorers without three Strandbergs. Accordingly, it is necessary to agree on how to distinguish the total statistics for the season from statistics that do not coincide with it with specific clubs in a season.

I actually have a query built that finds the cases where the multiple entries are getting created which allows them to be quickly found and fixed. It is unfortunate that the QuickStatements loads multiple lines into the same property and not as separate ones. Unless you are going to remove or duplicate all the international tournaments, I'm not sure that separating club data from international data which is in the 'Participant of' is a great approach. I'd also be interested in knowing how to not duplicate data between 'Member of sports team' and the 'participant of' and the 'number of matches/played' etc. Sorry, I do not understand what you mean by 'Accordingly, it is necessary to agree on how to distinguish the total statistics for the season from statistics that do not coincide with it with specific clubs in a season'

It is better not to use end time (P582) at all in cases of current teams as we do not use date of death (P570) for living people. And we must be able to differ the number of all player goals for a season from the number of player goals for one of several clubs that he changed for the season. Statistics should keep in separate properties like total goals in career (P6509) for the following reasons:

• Duplication participant in (P1344) with 2015–16 Russian Premier League (Q19915706) for every team is wrong.
• Different sources may have different numbers of goals in one tournament for one player, we must be able to make two different statements with different sources and rangs.
• It should be possible to update only the number of matches, without changing the check date for the number of goals or yellow cards, since the different data may not be available at the same time.

Can you please take one player, for instance Strandberg, and show how you think season statistics should be entered, it would make understanding what you are writing much easier.

I did it for matches. Using of applies to part (P518) is an option for discussion but we should to find a way to have independent Strandberg's stats for Ural and CSKA at this season. Сидик из ПТУ (talk) 19:55, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Can you please start a thread here https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Association_football, it seems a better way to do this. i would agree that P518 is not a great choice, I think P1344 is a better choice, teams are not really 'part' of a season.

We already have start of this discussion - Wikidata talk:WikiProject Association football#Data for automatic infoboxes. Ok, I will try to continue it there. Сидик из ПТУ (talk) 20:09, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Sources

Please use stated in (P248) → Transfermarkt (Q2449070) instead of reference URL (P854) → [2]. We already have a link to profile at Transfermarkt player ID (P2446), multiple duplication of URLs is not required. Сидик из ПТУ (talk) 20:09, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

• Excessive duplication of information. Сидик из ПТУ (talk) 21:24, 16 August 2019 (UTC)

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors

Dear CanadianCodhead,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King’s College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research that develops a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights into building a recommender system that can help improve your editing experience.

Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized (?) to provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form, and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.

If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I promise to keep the time!), please either contact me at kholoudsaa@gmail.com or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmmFHaiB20nK14wrQJgfrA18PtmdagyeRib3xGtvzkdn3Lgw/viewform?usp=sf_link with your choice of the times that work for you.

I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to connect.

Please contact me using the email mentioned above if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Kholoud
