I have trouble with the archiving of this page. If you know how this is supposed to work these days, I'd appreciate a review of my setup, and fixes as necessary. Thanks! Daniel Mietchen (talk) 13:53, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

On this page, old discussions are archived after 90 days. An overview of all archives can be found at this page's archive index. The current archive is located at 2024/03.
The Echo notifications system on Wikimedia sites is usually maxed out for me across Wikimedia sites due to Wikidata-related notifications, which means I may not see it when you ping me, and Special:Watchlist on Wikidata has similar issues.
So if I do not respond to talk page messages or pings in the time that you would expect, please try again, perhaps even via another channel.

Wikidata Eleventh Birthday - India Datathon edit

Greetings Daniel Mietchen!

 

As part of Wikidata's 11th birthday celebration a 11 days long datathon is planned from October 26, 2023 00:00 to November 5, 2023, 23:59 (both times Indian Standard Time) to improve the India related data in Wikidata. The data-thon aims to enhance Wikidata items by incorporating labels and descriptions in your native language, along with the addition of references, qualifiers, and statements. Additionally, it encourages the utilization of India-related properties within these items, ultimately contributing to the improvement of structured data in Wikidata.


Please have a look at the event page and and join the datathon by adding your name in the participant's section at here.

Wikimedians for Sustainable Development - December 2023 Newsletter edit

This is our twenty-seventh newsletter, a sort of year-in-review for 2023.

Dear Wikimedians for Sustainable Development,

As we bid farewell to 2023, we reflect on a year that has been an uneven year for our user group. While the journey has been marked by some truly inspiring events, most of our efforts have been largely uncoordinated and the user group hasn't been the support it could have been. Yet, there's a glimmer of hope and a world of potential for 2024.

Highlights of 2023:

Newsletters Galore
We kicked off the year with zeal, sharing updates and inspiration through four newsletters. The number of things happening in the movement is astounding, but we need to rethink the format of the newsletter going into the next year.
Growing Strong
The Wikimedians for Sustainable Development family welcomed 33 new members in 2023. Your passion and dedication continue to inspire us, and we look forward to nurturing this community spirit in the year ahead.
Wikimania Talks
Our voices echoed far and wide at Wikimania, where several members of our community took the virtual stage to share insights and ideas about everything from Wikipedians-in-Residence's to open data. Your contributions showcased our commitment to sustainable development on a global scale.
Content Creation Magic
Throughout the year, our extended community demonstrated incredible dedication to expanding the knowledge base on Wikipedia. Countless hours were spent creating and curating content that aligns with our mission, contributing to a more sustainable digital ecosystem.
Campaigning hard
We saw a large variety of campaigns, from writing challenges to editathons. The willingness to experiment with new formats and partners, as well as learning from past efforts, shows great promise for the future.

Acknowledging Challenges:

While we celebrate these achievements, we acknowledge that 2023 presented its fair share of challenges. A lack of global coordination reminded us that the road to sustainable development is not always linear. However, it is precisely these challenges that fuel our determination to work together more cohesively in the coming year and proof that the user group is needed.

Hopeful Anticipation for 2024:

As we turn the page to 2024, let's carry forward the lessons learned and the successes celebrated. We are optimistic that, with renewed energy and a collective commitment, we will overcome obstacles and create an even more impactful and connected Wikimedians for Sustainable Development community.

Here's to a year of collaboration, growth, and making a lasting impact on the world through our shared passion for sustainability. Together, we can turn challenges into opportunities and pave the way for a brighter future.

Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Warm regards, User:Ainali, User:Daniel Mietchen

PS. We have started writing our yearly report, please add your activities to it.

How paper are added? edit

Hello, sorry for the naive questions. I see you added many papers to wikidata, I guess in an automatic way. How is it done? For example, I can't find this: https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.251802 Wiso (talk) 12:03, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Wiso: There are multiple ways to do this. A convenient way for automation is via WikidataIntegrator. If you just want to bring in single papers, you can try things like https://scholia.toolforge.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevLett.131.251802. For this particular paper, both methods failed, so I ended up using SourceMD instead. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 16:40, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
thank you very much Wiso (talk) 23:32, 11 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Nam Keun Kim edit

Hi Daniel,

I suspect that some the publications of Nam Keun Kim (Q39847503) could be Jeongyong Lee (Q92017447)'s in fact.--Tadarrius Bean (talk) 16:27, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Tadarrius Bean: Thanks for noticing the issue and letting me know about it. I fixed the relevant Wikidata statements — see here for details. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 22:36, 16 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to participate in the WQT UI requirements elicitation online workshop edit

Dear Daniel_Mietchen,

I hope you are doing well,

We are a group of researchers from King’s College London working on developing WQT (Wikidata Quality Toolkit), which will support a diverse set of editors in curating and validating Wikidata content. We are inviting you to participate in an online workshop aimed at understanding the requirements for designing effective and easy-to-use user interfaces (UI) for three tools within WQT that can support the daily activities of Wikidata editors: recommending items to edit based on their personal preferences, finding items that need better references, and generating entity schemas automatically for better item quality.

The main activity during this workshop will be UI mockup sketching. To facilitate this, we encourage you to attend the workshop using a tablet or laptop with PowerPoint installed or any other drawing tools you prefer. This will allow for a more interactive and productive session as we delve into the UI mockup sketching activities.

Participation is completely voluntary. You should only take part if you want to and choosing not to take part will not disadvantage you in any way. However, your cooperation will be valuable for the WQT design. Please note that all data and responses collected during the workshop will be used solely for the purpose of improving the WQT and understanding editor requirements. We will analyze the results in an anonymized form, ensuring your privacy is protected. Personal information will be kept confidential and will be deleted once it has served its purpose in this research.

The online workshop, which will be held on April 5th, should take no more than 3 hours.

If you agree to participate in this workshop, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form to register your interest https://forms.office.com/e/9mrE8rXZVg Then, I will contact you with all the instructions for the workshop.

For more information about my project, please read this page: https://king-s-knowledge-graph-lab.github.io/WikidataQualityToolkit/

If you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me at the email address mentioned above.

Thank you for considering taking part in this project.
