Motivation edit

As we create and edit items for University of Washington faculty, we find identifiers for them that we would like to include in Wikidata. This proposed ID is one of these properties that we will include if we are able to. Many of the IDs link to pages with useful biographical information about physicists and science writers.

Support @ArthurPSmith: might be interested in this. Mahir256 (talk) 16:38, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @Mahir256: thanks for the ping! @UWashPrincipalCataloger: this is an ID for "Physics Magazine", not a general "APS author ID". I would guess there are maybe a couple of hundred people who are identified there? So not a huge dataset. But it does link to a nice bio for each one, so that's useful.

@ArthurPSmith: Thanks for pointing that out. I've revised the label and description and the subject item. UWashPrincipalCataloger (talk) 21:08, 23 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
