Kamala Harris

Hi, I deleted these additional "names", since they are not names. They are just junctions of names and functions. If you wanna keep stuff like that (Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Harris, Senator Kamala Devi Harris, Sen. Kamala Devi Harris, Sen. Kamala Harris, Sen. Harris) you could as well add: Attorney General Kamala Harris, Vice President Harris, District Attorney Kamala Devi Harris, AG Kamala Devi Harris, DA Kamala Harris or DA Harris and all variations of them.
If "Senator Harris" is mostly/only associated with her, it would be a point to add that and maybe "Senator Kamala Harris") but all the abbreviations of one working title are not useful. --Mirer (talk) 10:40, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

@Mirer: ok, fair enough, thanks for explaining. Elliot321 (talk) 14:00, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

If you're worried about search results, that shouldn't be a problem, since they are tagged as senators and the full name(s) are provided. Just give it a try with "Senator McCain"! John is the first result, although we have an object starting with the name "Senator McCain ..." which will be just on 2nd place in the results. --Mirer (talk) 14:04, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors

Dear Elli,

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 kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk 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 if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

@Kholoudsaa: hi, thanks for the message. I'd like to help but I'm going to be out of town for the next few weeks and unable to participate much. Would you consider contacting me later? Thanks. Elli (talk) 15:29, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
