Task/s: Synchronize Wikidata with the NIOSHTIC-2 research database.
Code: https://github.com/harej/niosh2wikidata
Function details: NIOSHTIC-2 is a database of occupational safety and health research published by NIOSH and/or supported by NIOSH staff. As part of my work with NIOSH I have developed scripts to make sure NIOSHTIC has corresponding entries in Wikidata (but, where possible, it will not create duplicates of entries that already exist on Wikidata). This allows NIOSH's data to be part of a greater network of data, for instance by including data from other sources such as PubMed. Better indexing this data is part of a longer-term effort to make it easier for Wikipedia editors to discover these reliable resources. --Harej (talk) 05:59, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Please make some test edits.--Ymblanter (talk) 11:51, 19 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- @Matěj Suchánek: In principle yes; however, I'm currently in the process of reworking my scripts so that they will work for Wikidata at its current size. Harej (talk) 15:09, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ymblanter, Matěj Suchánek, I have made some test edits. Please let me know if you have any questions. Harej (talk) 17:17, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I am fine with the test edits and can approve the bot in several days provided there have been no objections raised.--Ymblanter (talk) 21:22, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- @Harej: For the first two test edits I get a „We are sorry, the page you are looking for was not found.“ message. --Succu (talk)
- Succu, I generally find that happens when an entry is new enough in the NIOSHTIC database that it has a listing in the search engine but not a corresponding static page. However if you search NIOSHTIC for the date range during which the article was published, the article will still show up in the search results. I would link to search results, but it's one of those search engines where the results expire. (Frustrating, I know.) Harej (talk) 05:21, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Why not omit them until the changes are online? Sorry for the delayed answer, Harej. --Succu (talk) 19:06, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Succu, I have no way of distinguishing between which ones are online and which ones aren't. They show up in the search engine results anyway, so I would consider them valid assigned numbers. Harej (talk) 19:42, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Load the page and look for „We are sorry, the page you are looking for was not found.“ I think if this string is not present all is fine. --Succu (talk) 19:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ymblanter, do you have any further questions or concerns regarding NIOSH bot? Harej (talk) 19:03, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I am going to sleep now, I hope you will resolve the above issue by tomorrow, and then I will approve the bot.--Ymblanter (talk) 20:33, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
