Review score
Description | review score received by a creative work |
---|---|
Data type | String |
Template parameter | w:Template:Video_game_reviews for games, other methods and templates for films, books, albums, etc. |
Domain | items about videogames, films, albums, books, etc. |
Allowed values | usually numbers from 0.0 to 10, 0 to 100, or letters from A+ to F- (depends on the type of creative work, and score issuer) |
Example | Sinistar: Unleashed <review score> 80/100 |
Source | w:Template:Video_game_reviews for games, other methods and templates for films, books, etc. |
Proposed by | — ΛΧΣ21 |
This property is needed to add the review scores received by games, films, books, albums, and other types of media. It can only work if used along with the property below, score issuer, as a qualifier of this property. Therefore, both properties are needed for this to work. — ΛΧΣ21 00:02, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Score issuer, issuer, reviewer
Description | the issuer of a review score (also known as the reviewer) |
---|---|
Data type | Item |
Template parameter | w:Template:Video_game_reviews for games, other methods and templates for films, books, etc. |
Domain | items about videogames, films, albums, books, etc. |
Example | See example below |
Source | w:Template:Video_game_reviews for games, w:Template:Album ratings for albums, other methods and templates for films, books, etc. |
Proposed by | — ΛΧΣ21 |
This property is designed as to aid the property above, review score, to identify the source, or issuer, of an specific score. An example:
- Sinistar: Unleashed <review score>
- 80 / 100
- qualifier <score issuer> PC Zone
- 9.0 / 10
- qualifier <score issuer> Game Informer
- qualifier <score issuer> GameSpot
- 80 / 100
This way we can add several qualifiers identifying all the issuers who gave the same score to a work. A working example is here. As qualifiers will go live next week, this can be put in use immediately after it's approved, if approved. — ΛΧΣ21 00:02, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

The infobox parameter combines channel and network, but television channel (Q2001305) is not as well-defined. Different people and regions use it differently; see en:Television_channel#Other_meanings. So I propose a property just for TV networks, for now. Superm401 - Talk 00:12, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

- Weak oppose I think just "network" with a qualifier like "as" and value "original" is better. This way all networks are together in one statement and the original network can be retrieved by qualifier. Otherwise we've "original networks" and "networks" which also didn't have to be together on the item site. --Nightwish62 (talk) 10:30, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Main use

- Domain: buildings
- Example: See The Shard
- Infobox parameter and allowed values:
- fr:Template:Infobox Gratte-ciel "usage" ("offices, residential or mixed") (Not used in corresponding enwp template)
- Comments: see Property talk:P168. Don't know if that should be restricted to buildings~, but do not see any other use at the moment. --Zolo (talk) 18:05, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
Question So how would we say The Shard is being "used," as distinct from its structure type? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 21:00, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Structure type should probably be "skyscraper", while "use" would be "offices" or "residential". I am not sure about the words that should be used (see below), but you get the idea. --Zolo (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
Question The suggested values (offices, residential, mixed) do currently not have items. Should this be a multi-lingual text instead, or should these items be created? . Mange01 (talk) 20:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- I dont think "mixed" should be used, we should rather have several values in this case (like, residential, office), as it is easier to make things more precise. I prefer the item type, as it is easier to standardize / translate, but I do not know exactly which one should be used
Comment Resembles two parameters of en:Template:Infobox religious building:
- status ("the building's current ecclesiastical or organizational status or the last previous ecclesiastical or organizational status the building held, if currently unused. i.e. oratory, basilica, cathedral, monastry, temple, most holy site")
- functional_status ("the current function or usage of the building. i.e. active, abandoned, preserved, museum") In practice, other values exist in the infoboxes, for example "main building of X parish".
Mange01 (talk) 20:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think "status" is similar to this proposal, and that we should use qualifiers for "functional status". If the building used to be an oratory but is now a museum, we should have main use: oratory (+ date qualifier); museum (+date qualifier). --Zolo (talk) 16:43, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

P:P92 was created a while ago to experiment with references.

- Support. It should definitely be a string. The IMO number is an identifier, not a quantity, it should not have a variance, and it should not be converted for languages that do not use arabic numbers. --Zolo (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
- Support as string (per Zolo, and like all Authority Control codes). I'll create it in 24h if there aren't further objections. --Ricordisamoa 15:27, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
- Comment, sorry, but either the letters 'IMO' are component of the value we like to store, or not. If it is, take string. If it's not, take integer. Everything else is wrong. There is no discussion about the identifier as whole is a string value, but we do only store the digit part, therefore integer. --Nightwish62 (talk) 09:53, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Comment But if it is stored as a "value" it will get "tranlated" into other number format used in other languages. See for examples at numberr 12 that not all languages use this number format. The IMO number on the other hand does not seem to be "translated" on any of the pictures I could find. That would mean that string is more appropriate. --Tobias1984 (talk) 10:00, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Comment Hooray. This is not a problem of the situation, it's a problem of the implementation. I don't know, but perhaps there should be a flag which indicates a integer to be translated or not. With this reasoning we couldn't use integer for 90% of all cases where it would make sense. Please be honest: The reason why everyone cries for string datatype is just because integer isn't available at moment and people like to getting starting use this property. No reason to use a wrong data type for me. As you said, the IMO is never translated. Meaning the right part did always have just numbers, meaning integer is right. --Nightwish62 (talk) 10:11, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Comment However, where is something mentioned about translation? Can't find something on this site, or at least it haven't quite decided yet. --Nightwish62 (talk) 10:16, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- It is not really a translation, it is displaying numbers in a different numbering system. I do not know whether that will be done by Wikibase or will be left the clients, but the more general point is that you clearly do not understand what dataypes mean. A string does not becomes a number just because you remove all chars that are not digits. String and number are different dataypes that support different operations. If something should behave like a string, then it should be a string. --Zolo (talk) 10:34, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, is it just me who doesn't understand data types. I accept this. Do you know what? Start using it. I doesn't care about the quality of this property. --Nightwish62 (talk) 13:36, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed by | Snipre (talk) 12:55, 20 April 2013 (UTC) |
- Support "qualifier property" very useful! --Paperoastro (talk) 13:57, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Two concerns pop out at me.
- First, this proposal seems like it might be better as two proposals. The description says "indication of the method used in order to obtain the value or to format a value". The first part, "method used in order to obtain the value" lists as an example value the conditions under which a property of a physical object (autoignition temperature) is measured. The second part concerns how to format a given value. These are really two different things, each of which should be considered as its own well-defined qualifier.
- Second, the 'domain' field should be more specific. The 'domain' of qualifiers should indicate as precisely as possible the type of claims the qualifier can be validly applied to. For example, in this proposal, there would be two domains: A) any claim about an empirical property of a physical object, and B) any value that requires special formatting (or can take on a special formatting). Emw (talk) 14:07, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Comment – shouldn't datatype be the item for used method (and formating moved to another qualifier pr. Emw) -- Byrial (talk) 20:23, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Support as item datatype.--Šlomo (talk) 07:45, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
- Support "method" with item datatype, but I would prefer a more explicit label, perhaps "determination method". Oppose including format in this property but I guess a "notation system" property would make sense. --Zolo (talk) 11:56, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
- I would also support this qualifier if it were amended as Zolo suggests. Emw (talk) 12:12, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed by | Stevenliuyi (talk) 19:31, 14 March 2013 (UTC) |
I encountered a problem when adding relationship statements to Genghis Khan's family members. The following example is based on a real case, though I changed a little bit so it's easier to understand: There are three ancient documents, the first written in Mongolian, the second in Chinese, and the third in Persian. The three documents respectively record there persons, named A, B, and C. The problem is that modern scholars have interpreted these documents differently. Some scholars think A is B's son while B and C are the same person; some scholars think B is C's brother while A and B are the same person; and others have some other interpretations. I am proposing this "same as" property so we can record all these interpretations in wikidata (I think sources are important and necessary if we use this property). --Stevenliuyi (talk) 19:31, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support
Comment: This property seems useful! That said, I think the current Description and Domain values, and possibly also the label, should be adjusted.
- The Description would be closer to the cited purpose of the property if it emphasized that the 'A is the same as B' assertion being made is disputed. Of course, if there is no dispute that two items are the same, then one would simply be made an alias of the other and the redundant item would be deleted. Perhaps something like then 'A is said to be the same as B' would help avoid confusion. I'm not sure of the best wording, but I think the current phrasing is too brief. Similarly, I think labeling this property something like 'said to be the same as' would be better than labeling it 'same as', since it would be more accurate and emphasize that the statement is essentially invalid without a source.
- And, as noted in the Domain value, this property could be generalized to other domains. Such cases are easy to imagine: this organism is said to be the same as that organism by some source, this ill-defined disease is said to be the same as that disease by some source, etc. So I think the Domain value should be changed to 'All', or some synonym of the same. Emw (talk) 16:55, 17 March 2013 (UTC)
- Suggestion What about naming this property related to or strongly related to? Since Emw already mentioned, if A and B are really the same, why are there separate items? I understand, that in some situations (like the one described by Stevenliuyi) there are separate Wikipedia articles which describe the same thing in different ways, but as far I understand this also should not happen and the related Wikipedia pages should be merged. --Faux (talk) 08:26, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think the proposal is for something different than just strong relatedness. The difference is twofold. The example suggests a need to support disputed assertions that A and B are equivalent. I don't think the titles 'related to' or 'strongly related to' would capture those two defining features of this property. Would 'said to be the same as' work? Emw (talk) 02:40, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think "said to be the same as" is better. My original proposal "same as" is likely to cause confusion, and "strongly related to" is not really the same as my proposal. --Stevenliuyi (talk) 09:22, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
- Stevenliuyi, I've gone ahead and changed the label, description and domain to reflect that, as well as the proposal's generic nature. If that doesn't match your understanding, please feel free to revert my edits. Emw (talk) 15:40, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

- I still thing the title is not ideal. What does said to be mean? Is it mistakenly said, but not actually true? Was it said in the past, but not anymore? Might some people say it's the same, but it's not confirmed? --Faux (talk) 22:10, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
- The phrase "said to be" isn't the most explicit possible label, but I think it might be among the most succinct and intuitive. When paired with the description "this item is said to be the same as that item, but the statement is disputed", I think the meaning is clear. Do you disagree? If so, what would you suggest as more appropriate title? Emw (talk) 01:56, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

- Right now I am a little bit confused in which situations this property should be used. Should the property show a "possible equality" or a "proven equality"? In the latter case I totally agree with your title proposal and your statement, but as far I understood the original property proposal, the property should show that two items are per se the same and there is no doubt about the equality of the two items. --Faux (talk) 13:21, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
Oppose wikidata is not doing some reconciliation of data. If there are different opposite statements in literature just mention the data and source. So if a source says that X is the unique son of Y and another that X is the brother of Y, put both statements with sources. Snipre (talk) 02:29, 29 March 2013 (UTC)Snipre (talk) 17:00, 18 April 2013 (UTC)- Sorry but that's not what I mean. The problem is not the opposite statements and conflicts between sources. The problem is that sometimes the source would say "X is the same as Y". --Stevenliuyi (talk) 02:38, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think a concrete example of how this property would be used would help folks understand its purpose. Emw (talk) 19:42, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Example: OK, here is a concrete example, and I think it's easier to understand. There is a man named Maidilibala, who is a son of Mongol Emperor Biligtü Khan Ayushiridara, described by an ancient Chinese book (History of Ming). Some references (like this one) argue that Maidilibara is the same person as Mongol Emperor Uskhal Khan Tögüs Temür. And there are other references (like this one) argue that Maidilibara is the same person as Elbeg Nigülesügchi Khan, another Mongol Emperor. --Stevenliuyi (talk) 20:37, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Great, thank you. I've added a simplified example in the documentation template based on that. Emw (talk) 20:54, 30 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support The example clears any doubts I had. Don't see how else that kind of information could be stated. Silver hr (talk) 03:15, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Question – is this only intended for current knowledge about the items, or also for past disputes about equalness which are now resolved? If, to use the example above, historicans or archaeologists somehow tomorrow find out that Maidilibala equals Uskhal Khan Tögüs Temür, and items Q7158737 and Q8937 are merged, should the merged item still use this property to item Q9171? And to itself? Byrial (talk) 18:27, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Support I suppose that when the sameness it really obvious, there should just be one item, but whether the sameness is dominant hypothesis, obsolete speculation or fringe weirdoness should be stated using qualfiers. If there is no opposition to it, I will create it (actually I was just about to propose it when I saw this proposal). --Zolo (talk) 16:51, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Partner / Partner / partenaire
- Description: A partner of the subject (i.e. someone with whom the subject was closely related but not married, as befits today's modern "partnership" as opposed to marriage trend).
- Datatype:
MultilingualTextValueItem - Links:
- Domain: Person
- Comments: pretty much most "modern" (i.e. post 1970s) BLPs show "partner" and this can often include children born out of wedlock, civil partnerships etc. It would be remiss of this project to preclude those partners and, where applicable, their children, from being recorded here. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:06, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
- Support There are many notable (infobox-worthy) relationships that, for legal, social, or personal reasons, never resulted in marriages. The current president of France and mayor of New York City are both in high-profile domestic partnerships, and I agree we would be remiss not to include these. One thing though... shouldn't the datatype just be "item"? — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 09:07, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Support as seen in infobox person | partner= Danrok (talk) 20:06, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
- Question: why distinguish this from spouse at all? There's no big value in the distinction, which also has varying meaning/requirements across countries and is therefore very confusing in a global project such as Wikidata. P26 could just be renamed (in English) "spouse or partner" or even "partner"; many languages won't even have a distinction, I guess. --Nemo 09:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- Shouldn't the be called "couple / pareja", and apply to all kinds of relationships, both official and non-official, public or hidden? --NaBUru38 (talk) 20:39, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think significant other is another possible label. Couple doesn't catch all, some people have more than one partner at a time. Danrok (talk) 00:05, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think that's fine for the English label to be used as source, but it's a USA-only term so the translations would not be exact equivalents and would mostly fall under partner translations anyway. Any reason why this name can't be applied directly to the existing P26, broadening its usage? --Nemo 07:33, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose It's not common nor widely spread nor informally or formally accepted in our country and in our abroad cultural domain. Doostdar (talk) 18:02, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

- Good solution, thanks. Doostdar (talk) 18:17, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
- "Partner" is more anbiguous than "couple", that's why I proposed it. Anyway, my point was to include all kinds of partnerships in the property. --NaBUru38 (talk) 18:34, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think significant other is another possible label. Couple doesn't catch all, some people have more than one partner at a time. Danrok (talk) 00:05, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
- Would this replace P:P26, or be used sometimes alongside it, or be used only in cases where P:P26 would be incorrect to use? --Yair rand (talk) 00:21, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support I guess this can't be used for someone having a lover alongside being married? Is this used only if the partnership is publicly shown? Janjko (talk) 09:42, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

- Comment I have had a few discussions about this property. Some people would like the property to allow gradients. So instead of a single color a color range is assigned to an item. If an item has the color "brown" and "red" then the search should include colors in between those two colors. I'm not sure if that is technically possible. Another suggestion is that the colors should allow for subdivisions. An item with the color = azure-blue should be included in a search for blue. Same goes for all other names of blue. --Tobias1984 (talk) 08:54, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
- This are interesting points, but I think some of this should be done through properties for items about colors rather than the property "color" of other items. -- Docu at 09:18, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Member of
- Description:
a generic property stating that the item is/was a member of some group/setperson is or was a voluntary member of a specific organization of people. This property must not be used for ethnic or social groups - Datatype: Item
- Domain: People
- Infobox parameter
- Comments: Support as proposer. This property would function in multiple contexts; a person was a member of a musical group, society, club, and so on. It would take care of numerous infobox properties without requiring over-specificity (see discussion of "member of learned society" on this page--as opposed to "member of unlearned society" or what? :-). Espeso (talk) 15:28, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose - I prefer more specific properties. --NaBUru38 (talk) 18:46, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- Why? "A <person> was a member of <musical group, society, artist's collective ...>". That is explanatory. As for disambiguation with related concepts, we have "employee of", and no one speaks of being a "member" of where you're employed, so I don't see a problem. We also have properties for more formal positions within groups such as political parties. But you can be a member of a political party and many other things without having some formal position within the group, and we need a way to express these relations generally, not with a bunch of super-specific properties. Qualifiers will also help with this property. Espeso (talk) 19:23, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
- As I said, I prefer more specific properties: member of an artistic group, member of an academic society, member of a political organization, member and a sports team, etc. Generic properties will be useless when we start querying. --NaBUru38 (talk) 19:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

- Generic properties will not be useless for querying. If you want to find members of all artistic groups, your query would look like: "x member of y and y instance of artistic group". Silver hr (talk) 03:00, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose, as this property is redundant with part of (P361, see Help:Basic membership properties).
QuestionSupportCommentThe 'Description' and the 'Domain' above disagree. The description speaks in terms of sets without specifying a domain -- if this is really "a generic property stating that the item is/was a member of some group/set", then I think "element of" would be a much better label. If the description were closer to something like "the person is or was a member of some group", then I think "member of" would be OK. Emw (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- I know, but this seems like semantic quibbling, and I don't support the notion that a property must have some limited, defined domain that restricts its use forever to what the property proposal said. In other words, if another user finds a rational new use case for "member of" that has nothing to do with people, great! (What if "Coal Miners of America", a hypothetical organization, was a member of "Miners of America"? What would that change here?) I will however strike the original description that was written as generically as possible and limit it to people. Espeso (talk) 04:29, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Semantic drift is a bad thing for knowledge representation, in my opinion. It erodes the structure of data over time, making knowledge representations less coherent. Per your example, perhaps it would be best to modify the description to "a person or group of people is or was a member of some defined group of people" and avoid one notable instance of semantic drift. Emw (talk) 13:20, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Your comments are always considered Emw and I appreciate that. We need more of it. Please see the slight change in wording again, now that you have supported, to ensure you still support. It is only more clear yet, I hope. Espeso (talk) 22:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- How would this property be different than has part (P361), other than being domain-specific? I think it's best to use generic properties unless there's an exceptional reason not to. Emw (talk) 03:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
- That's what I was thinking as well. On the one hand, this would be "part of" for humans, therefore redundant. But on the other hand, how else could we reflect the fact that people or groups of people are called "members" when considered as parts of groups? Silver hr (talk) 23:13, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think having 'member of' as an alias of part of suffices. What are your thoughts? Emw (talk) 02:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- I think Lavallen's example below ('Denmark is a "part of" Europe, but it is not a "member of" Europe') shows that they don't have identical semantics, which alias would imply. It seems to me that "member of" is a subproperty of "intransitive/direct part of", however Wikidata doesn't support subproperties, and our current "part of" property is transitive anyway.

- Oppose It could become a POV property like P172 (still under discussion: first "nation", now "ethnic group"; used for jews and arabs). --Kolja21 (talk) 05:09, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- Does Wikidata have a policy of maintaining a neutral point of view like Wikipedia does in WP:NPOV? Wikidata:NPOV is currently a red link, and I see no mention of such a policy or proposal in Wikidata:List_of_policies_and_guidelines. That said, and with the cavaet that I don't know what it means for a property to be POV, I see no difference in potential for abuse between this property and is a. Emw (talk) 13:34, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- This property description is getting a thorough examination! I have added the phrase "voluntary member of a specific organization of people" to stress that this is not about ethnicity or vague socially constructed groups ("conservatives", "African Americans"), etc. Does that help Kolja21? If not, do you have a suggestion for the wording? I have no desire for this property to be used as you suggest, because if that information should exist at all on Wikidata, I would not use such a simple/reductive term as "member of" for it. Espeso (talk) 22:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
- @Espeso: This description would help, but we still would need to watch the use of this property very closely and check every single translation of the description. (Of course "is a" has the same problem. "Is a" politician, that started a war, a mass murderer? Can I call a person a defrauder if I cite a book or do I need a court order? In a Wikipedia article an editor can differentiate; in Wikidata not. As log as we have no sources, it's even worse.) --Kolja21 (talk) 05:55, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

- Support P31 (instance of), P279 (subclass of), and P361 (part of), which already exist, don't really cover generic relations at a more human level; you wouldn't say "James Bond is a part/subclass/instance of acting". Support under the condition that "employer" co-exists with this; you might be an employee at your company and member of a chamber group. Hurricanefan24 (talk) 11:24, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Regarding the 'James Bond' example, are you implying that since "James Bond is a part/subclass/instance of acting" is nonsensical, the claim "James Bond member of acting" would be? Clearly, none of these claims make sense. James Bond is an instance of a fictional character. Emw (talk) 17:06, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
- Support – seems useful as people are not parts of an orginisation (you can be member of several organisations, but something cannot be part of several different things at one point of time) -- Byrial (talk) 17:50, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not aware of any ontology (or even dictionary definition) that makes that distinction between 'part of' and 'member of'. The W3C recommendation for representing simple part-whole relations -- on which part of (P361) is based -- does not make that distinction. Given that, I still think 'member of' is fully captured by 'part of'. What do you think? Emw (talk) 01:26, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- Well, I don't think that "member of" is captured by any of the use cases in the W3C document. I will try to explain better what I think the difference between "part of" and "member of" is: If you have some class and two different instances of that class, then I don't think that something can be "part of" both of these instances at the same time as that would require that thing to be two different things. For example if you have two different cars, then one car engine cannot be part of both cars at the same time. But one person can be "member of" two different organisations at the same time.

- Comment Currently the template en:Template:Period color stores all the hex values for the colors used for the geologic time scales and many daughter templates.

Pichpich (talk) 13:54, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose I don't think main article in category (P301) is a good idea, so I don't think this inverse property makes sense. Wikipedia categories are essentially hardcoded query results from Wikidata that group together items by a set of user-defined properties. I don't see a compelling reason to build up a vocabulary and toolset to encourage that pre-Wikidata classification model. Emw (talk) 19:36, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Article <Germany> and category <Germany> is a good example (typical for individual subjects and abstract terms). For other types of main articles (types of relation between category and its main article), specific properties should exist. For countable subjects, the most typical relations are "Category:Subjects/Article:Subject" (Plural/singular) and "Category:Subjects/Article:List of subjects", may be both these types together. However, we can find some more special types of main articles. --ŠJů (talk) 02:50, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

- Support, but who determines the ranking? If it's a widely recognized federation, then I'm fine. if it's a local club, then not. --NaBUru38 (talk) 19:05, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- The rankings are widely accepted. For instance, professional go players' rankings are determined by 5 reputable institutions (i.e. Zhongguo Qiyuan in China, Hanguk Kiwon in South Korea, Nihon Ki-in and Kansai Ki-in in Japan, and Taiwan Qiyuan in Taiwan).--Stevenliuyi (talk) 20:04, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- Done as Property:P468. Based on above discussion, I think we also need a qualifier called "recognized by", especially for some players who have ranks recognized by different institutions. --Stevenliuyi (talk) 05:39, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose This property could be a good idea, but here Ricordisamoa, explained me that there are three types of string datatype: string (simple sequence of characters), monolingual string (with the indication of the language of the string) and multilingual string. I have just changed the datatype of "official name" proposal to monolingual string, that has also the informations of this property. I'm sorry for the confusion that I made using a wrong datatype in the proposal. --Paperoastro (talk) 11:26, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

Not Property:P37. Kahusi (talk) 15:46, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry but what is the difference with the use of property 37 ? It is just a question of definition of the query based on the same data. Snipre (talk) 15:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- Property:P37 is something like en:List of official languages by state. Example: "Luxembourg: French, German, Luxembourgish". --Kahusi (talk) 16:34, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- I don't see the difference... --Yair rand (talk) 16:43, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- @Kahusi What you want is to get a list of places using a specific language. This will be done in the third step of wikidata and will but done according to the data using property P37. If all place places are defined according to property P37, it is just a matter of defining a good query in order to get what you want. The system is able to analyze each country and if the official language according to P37 is Russian, the name of the country is put in a list and at the end you get the list with the data you want based on P37. Snipre (talk) 17:14, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
- withdraw this suggestion if usage of P37:
- "if a page is the name of a country, substitutes a language name for the value";
- "else if a page is the language name, substitutes name of a country for the value".
- I thought that I could use it for only the former. --Kahusi (talk) 03:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose, the data can be derived~from P37. --NaBUru38 (talk) 18:59, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose – It is too unnuanced to use countries and states as domain, as somewhere the officiel language can depend on much smaller administrative units. But if the domain was changed, then the list for each language would be too big to be practical. So better just derive from P37. (BTW how can UN be in the example? it is not a country or a state.) -- Byrial (talk) 19:49, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Source-related properties
For lack of feedback elsewhere, I 'll propose the following properties to use in the "source" section (all of type "item):
- stated in. The basic case (Polydore Vergil says Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field)
- evidence gathered in. (some journal article shows why it is likely that Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field)
- officially established in. (say: the Court recognizes that Richard III was killed at Bosworth Field, and that the widow deserves a compensation)
That may sound a bit crude and I am not sure that it can work in practice, nor that it should go in the source filed, but it may be interesting regarless.--Zolo (talk) 13:32, 7 February 2013 (UTC) I think I'll be bold and implement it, as it will be easy to transform it into something else if needed. --Zolo (talk) 15:18, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- Source related data: too difficult to manage in the present structure which based on relation between 2 items. Better wait for semantic query for that.Snipre (talk) 15:28, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- Qualifiers will allow to add things like page number, and perhaps quotes, but will it fundamentally change the way property are handled ? --Zolo(talk) 18:43, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
- Unless there is more opposition to it, I will create a "stated in" property. We already have a "imported from" and it does not make sense to source bot-imports but not human additions. If we change the way we do in later on, we can still convert it. I would also propose my own "legally established suggestion. After all, something can be either "stated", "implied" or whatever in a law, and that is probably what makes more sense in a source. About the "official", "legal" etc. status of the source, I suppose readers and bots can understand that by themselves, and if a source is more "official" than another we will be able to assign it a higher "rank" once the relevant functionality is deployed. --Zolo (talk) 18:28, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
