Dear Carlosmg.dg,

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, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits.

Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link

I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa

In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

About the whys of Úbeda (Q329984): simply put, the item Úbeda (Q329984) is not about a World Heritage site, but a municipality of Spain. The World Heritage site is about the Renaissance Monumental Ensembles of Úbeda and Baeza (Q15831671), of which only the historic center of Úbeda (Q64957051) is a part. (There's even an item for it: part of World Heritage Site (Q43113623).)

World Heritage sites are tricky that way, and quite a pain honestly. In short, the municipality of Úbeda and the protected parts of Úbeda, while obviously close, don't cover equivalent concepts. At least in my opinion. Hence my edits.

Thanks, you should have added a description of the reason. I did not know about the existence of these labels.

Hola!


I've noticed you're doing quite a bit of work on names so maybe you can help me: I recently got into some trouble/had a discussion about creating compound given names/nombres compuestos (See Topic:Uuc0pfqbq6ev93n9). After some back and forth I ended up creating a new item for double names here: Q61745121

Here is my question to you: Is there a difference in Spanish between:

  1. A hyphenated double name, like Jean-Luc
  2. A regular double name like Juan Luis
  3. A proper compound name, like Maritere, Juanra, Marianne, etc.

I personally find that double name items like "Luis Miguel", "John William" etc. are really useful, so I hope I don't have to stop creating them. ;)


Carlosmg.dg (talkcontribs)

Hello Moebeus!

There is a difference in the first and second point. Between are compound given names, but hyphenated double name is most used in French, while in Spanish (as in English or Italian) the compound names are generally separated by a space. Example: Spanish version of Jean-Luc is Juan Lucas.

In the third point, Maritere, Juanra... are a contraction of María Teresa, Juan Ramón..., used colloquially/familiarly (as nickname), not a given name or compound given name.

In my opinion, I think that double name items are very useful (better than use various given names with order), and I think you should continue with it. :)

Moebeus (talkcontribs)

I'm glad you agree!

Maritere, Juanra were bad examples, what I was looking for was a Spanish term for names that are in fact compound names, not just double names or hyphenated given names.

In English "Marianne" is a compound name, while "Mary Anne" is a double name. In my own language (Norwegian) there is also a distinction: compound name ="sammensatt navn", double name is "dobbeltnavn". In Spanish and Catalan however, it seems like a "nombre compuesto" translates to both concepts? So I'm thinking there must be a kind of technical term in Spanish that I'm not aware of, that could help differentiate, how would you do it?


Carlosmg.dg (talkcontribs)

I may be wrong, but in Spanish it has always been known as nombre compuesto (compound given names), I never listen about nombre doble (double name). A person legally is registred (by example) as Juan Carlos, but this person can be called or be know commonly as Juan, Carlos, Juancar (contraction)... not necessary Juan Carlos, unless this person wishes to be called by his complete name. But legally and formally must be called Juan Carlos.

Other example, María del Carmen, is a compound given name, but can be called commonly by his contraction, Maricarmen/Mari Carmen, or María, Mari, Carmen... but his legal given name is María del Carmen.

More example... Felipe Juan Froilán de Todos los Santos Marichalar y Borbón, he has four given names, but he is knows in Spain by the press (and all Spaniards) by his third given name, Froilán; but his family (Spanish Royal Family) calls him lovingly Pipe (of Felipe), and legally Felipe Juan Froilán de Todos los Santos.

I imagine that in English it will be the same, I think it isn't necessary to differentiate. Only add an alias of the possible contractions of Spanish compound given names to the compound given name items.

Moebeus (talkcontribs)

Okay, that was helpful, thanks! One last question and I'll stop bothering you: how would you say "contracted given name" in Spanish?

Carlosmg.dg (talkcontribs)

You're welcome! It can be say nombre contraído or contracción del nombre.

Postscript: I have edited my previous answer, I wanted to say "add an alias of contraction name to the compound given name item", not add a new item with the contraction name.
