Task/s: Adding claims from other wikis

Function details: The bot wants to add claims based on other wikis. for example adding "male" value to "sex" claim of all items which are in w:de:Category:Mann or adding artist based on other wikis' infoboxes

I did the test in adding "homosexuality" for property / sexual orientation for all of pages in categories "Gay musicians" and "Gay actors" [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] etc --Amir (talk) 02:54, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can you please have your bot add P:P143? Also, my bot is already planning to go through Category:Mann, see User:Legobot/properties.js, which is probably a much more flexible system. Will your bot create items if they don't already exist? Also, can you please add "entity type"-->"person"? Legoktm (talk) 06:37, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oppose Property:P91 (sexual orientation) should not be added by a bot, only by humans. We are not sure if categories such as "Gay musicians" and "Gay actors" are correctly attributed. --Eric-92 (talk) 20:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Eric:I want a general approval for properties. and besides English WP is very strict on adding LGBT categories you can see examples on w:talk:Jim Parsons and w:talk:Jodie Foster

@Legoktm: If you already planned for Category:Mann I can send my bot on other categories and properties. Do you think adding P:P143 is a really good idea? WP is not a reliable source. My bot will create item if doesn't exist and the bot will add entity type "person" Amir (talk) 21:44, 16 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'll add references (P143) too Amir (talk) 04:08, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support--Ymblanter (talk) 12:31, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Support We cannot test millions of Wikipedia-articles if they are correct – and if the reference (P143) is added, this shouldn't be an issue.--CENNOXX (talk) 13:47, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That will be an issue when data will be used in wikipedia articles: source for statement will be ... wikipedia articles. Wikipedia sourced by Wikipedia. And if something changes in the article no way to be sure that the change is performed in wikidata too. Snipre (talk) 18:02, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

The main source can be easily tracked down by history. I think you should see Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2013/02#Proposal:_preventive_control_of_imported_data_correctness and "see also" of the link (and even "see also" of that links)Amir (talk) 20:43, 20 March 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]
