Motivation edit

This is a very valuable indicator so that users can be able to tell the status of a glacier, particularly as their melting has advanced in recent years. this will allow users to be able to collate and correlate glacier statuses with particular areas Etradio1 (talk) 16:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion edit

  • @Etradio1: Are you yourself interested in running such a bot import or do we need someone else for the bot work? In anycase I think we should specify here how certain data on the wgms website should be translated into Wikidata before we create the property. ChristianKl11:33, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @ChristianKl: I could probably find some time to do the bot import unless you know somebody else eager to work on this.
I agree with Jura here. Iwan.Aucamp (talk) 05:38, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A Glacier can be retreating and not have some conservation classification, not sure this is a good approach. There may be more generic properties that could make sense but this may not be it. Iwan.Aucamp (talk) 05:40, 8 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
