Hallo, lässt sich aufklären, warum der Sprachcode gsw derzeit auf Englisch als "Alemannic" aber auf deutsch als "Schweizerdeutsch" übersetzt wird, obwohl das wohl Mal umgekehrt war? Siehe auch: Wikidata:Forum#Unklare_Abgrenzung_zwischen_Schweizerdeutsch/Alemannisch_bei_Sprachcode_gsw

Hi,

regarding this, Tesla wasn't even a graduate (or wasn't even an engineer) how would he have a Ph.D. in science?

Ok but engineer is not an academic degree. I'll remove the statement completely.

Hi Lydia,

I was just wondering why you removed the alias from Dura-Europos archival photograph of back of P. CtYBR inv. DP 13(First Text) qua Frame 2 and other similarly named items? These aliases were included to reflect the names given to these images on another source, in order to aid their searchability for anyone familiar with them from that source.

Thanks!

All the best,

Jasmine

The aliases I have removed were all duplication of the Q-ID of the Item. This is generally a bad practice. Aliases are there to support discoverability. These Items can already be found when searching for their Q-ID. We even have abuse filters set up to tag edits that add Q-IDs in labels or aliases.

This is very strange, because this is not what was supposed to be there (it should have been a text label) - clearly something went wrong in the open refine process! Thank you for pointing this out, I will check the other items from this batch upload to make sure this didn't happen anywhere else.

Yeah I've seen a few people where this happened now with people using OpenRefine. Not sure what the cause is.

I have a query that finds Items with Q-IDs in labels or aliases and it returned 0 when I was done cleaning up so it should be fine now. Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Lydia,

I saw that your are a participant in the WikiProject Movies, and I have a lots of questions.

1) I'm asking to create 2 new properties about classification in Canada. For french (Québec), Wikidata:Property proposal/Classification RCQ, and for english canada, Wikidata:Property proposal/CHVRS Classification. Can you support me and vote for those? (Or, if you think I should change something, tell me so I can correct it). This should be a no brainer as it's the same as MPAA film rating (P1657), CNC film rating (France) (P2758) and BBFC rating (P2629).

2) How long before it get approved?

3) I would like to add a new property, synopsis, that would be a link to an external web resource (URL) as our synopsis are more than 250 chars, and there is also copyright issues. What do you think about that?

Your help will be MUCH appreciated. I think we've meet at Wikimania 2017 (Mtl), I was Volunteer Manager.

Regards, Antoine

Hi Antoine :)

I'll have a look at the property proposals in the next days. How long it takes to get them approved depends on a few factors like how many people support it quickly.

I don't think we should have a synopsis property. That goes beyond what Wikidata should store into Wikipedia's area.

Cheers

Lydia

Hi Lydia,

I have a question for you. I want to mark roles as primary/secondary/cameo. Is there a way to do that? I would like to ask the Movies WDProject, but I don't see a discussion page created. Should I create one, and ping the project?

Also, I would like to ask the Movies WDProject how do you mark someone as the sound engineer for a movie?

Regards, Antoine

I got my answers. Sorry for the noise. ;-) Regards, Antoine

Is possible to see the full list (or a specific edition) in Special:DispatchStats? Thanks!

There is a bit more info in the links on User:Lucas Werkmeister (WMDE)/Dispatch queue debugging and https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/wikidata-dispatch?refresh=1m&orgId=1 (the graph at the bottom must be green for the lag to go down). I don't have more unfortunately.

Thanks Lydia! I'm curious about this in order to make a reasonable interval for this tool that lists all the articles without a Wikidata item. And dispatch lag creates many false positives.

Hi Lydia,

Is this just a mistaken assumption by a user rarely active on Wikidata or has the workshop mentioned on Topic:Tvx64y7zezv4rz4v somehow created the mistaken assumption that Wikidata is a dumping ground for statements that can't be referenced?

There was no workshop. We met at the Wikimania hackathon because she had a question which I helped her with. And of course I didn't give the impression that Wikidata is a dumping ground. And she also never got that impression I am sure.

I'm sad we're not solving this with less flames.

Not sure what she's out for. If it wasn't part of a project or workshop, it probably doesn't matter either.

The same worked out quite well when I helped with https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2016/Article_Lists

Did you notice that you deleted Obama's place of birth from almost all the wikipedias? Ok, the hospital. But, to read Honolulu is more important. Of course I understand it was just a mistake. Thanks. ~~~~
