Motivation edit
Primary motivation is to be able to link published works through this news outlet to authors as part of the Women in Red WikiProject. As above, digitally published works on this news outlet don't appear in other academic authority controls for published works - VIAF, ORCID etc. Zakhx150 (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Discussion edit
Note from proposer. This is the first WikiData property proposal I've submitted. If there are rookie errors in the proposal please ping me here or at my Wikipedia account and I'll work to fix. Thanks y'all. Zakhx150 (talk) 13:22, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Comment. The numbers alone are enough to reach the profile pages. So I've removed the alphabetical parts from the URLs given as examples. Thierry Caro (talk) 19:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)
Support Richard Nevell (talk) 17:11, 4 May 2020 (UTC)- Support though I'd be surprised if many still-active Contribution contributors don't have ORCID's these days. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
- Support: profile pages are relatively detailed, and consistent with other contributor pages Vahurzpu (talk) 19:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
