Hi,

It looks like you've added relationships between instances of universities who are members of the Association of Research Libraries. I was wondering why this was done at the level of the University instead of the Library. Across all ARL members, this seems a little inconsistent since some member libraries have it and others do not. Is there more to this choice than meets the eye?

Basically, I want to be able to write a query that returns all ARL member libraries.

Thanks for your question. In 2017 there were not yet items for some university libraries themselves. If you are now finding relevant items for the libraries themselves, feel free to adjust the membership statements! Overall this is a positive 'problem' because we now have more items for specific libraries as more people have created new items for these over time to meet their use cases.

Hi,

may you please create an item for the IBM SPSS Statistics Data Files?

Thanks for your interest in file formats in Wikidata. Could you take a look at Q105852885 please and let me know if this is the format you mean? If not, do you have a link that describes the format?

Thanks for the question. It looked like the two items you mentioned were for the same file format. I have now merged them.

Hi! I've just noticed that here you have inserted BAV using old Vatican Library ID (former scheme) (P1017) instead of Vatican Library VcBA ID (P8034); it may be due to the use of User:Magnus Manske/authority control.js (the problem has already been reported, but it is still there). I suggest you to use User:Bargioni/moreIdentifiers in order to easily and quickly copy authority control IDs from VIAF ID (P214), managing correctly BAV. To enable it you can add to your common.js:

importScript( 'User:Bargioni/moreIdentifiers defaultconf.js' );
importScript( 'User:Bargioni/moreIdentifiers.js' );

Ask me if you have any doubt. Bye!

Hello, you added membership to the Association of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure, VDI) to Kate Gleason in December 2018 . I reversed that in December 2019 because, according to the VDI's official view, Ilse Knott-ter Meer became the first female VDI member in 1925. I have since come to the conclusion that I acted too rashly. Do you have any sources which I can consult that prove Kate Gleason joined the VDI in 1913? Kind regards --~~~~

Greetings,

I'm following up on a message from earlier in the year about the prototype development for Special:MediaSearch. Based on community feedback, the Structured Data team has developed some new features for Special:MediaSearch and are seeking another round of comments and discussions about the tool. Commons:Structured_data/Media_search is updated with details about the new features plus some other development information, and feedback is welcome on Commons talk:Structured_data/Media_search. Media Search works in any language, so the team would especially appreciate input around support for languages other than English. I look forward to reading about what you think. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 01:11, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
