Wikidata talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Sources

Invitation

Please consider joining this project, a more narrowly scoped initiative, under the umbrella of WikiCite and WD:WikiProject Source, to create a high-quality corpus of structured data limited to sources cited in Wikipedia, across all languages. Our starting point to create this corpus is a dataset (created in March 2018) of Citations with identifiers in Wikipedia (Q51903355). See the todo list on the main project page.--DarTar (talk) 08:49, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Is this task list still "done"?

I'd like to help, but I'm unclear if there's really anything left to do. I presume there is work to do, but this certainly implies to do list is done. Trilotat (talk) 21:15, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Qualifiers to source-identifiers

Hi all! On Italian Wikipedia we are using many identifiers from Wikidata in the "External links" through it:Template:Collegamenti esterni. All the linked pages of the identifiers have a title (title (P1476)), some of them have an author (author name string (P2093)/author (P50)), sometimes (e.g. scanned dictionaries) there are also a date of publication (publication date (P577)) and a volume (volume (P478)). All this data can be imported as qualifiers of the identifiers and then our template can read them. An example: Alessandro Manzoni (Q1064). If there are no objections, we can start importing qualifiers for some most relevant properties; here just a first list:

• Treccani's Biographical Dictionary of Italian People ID (P1986): title (P1476) (it), author name string (P2093)/author (P50), volume (P478), publication date (P577)
• Treccani's Enciclopedia Italiana ID (P4223): title (P1476) (it), author name string (P2093)/author (P50), volume (P478) (sometimes), publication date (P577)
• Treccani ID (P3365): title (P1476) (it)
• Encyclopædia Britannica Online ID (P1417): title (P1476) (en), author name string (P2093)/author (P50) (sometimes)
• Open Library ID (P648): subject named as (P1810)
• BNCF Thesaurus ID (P508): subject named as (P1810)
• Santiebeati ID (P6126): title (P1476) (it), author name string (P2093)/author (P50)
• Italian Senate of the Republic ID (P2549): parliamentary term (P2937) [+ remove and readd ordering by legislative term (Q15238777)]
• Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ID (P3123): title (P1476) (en), author name string (P2093)/author (P50), publication date (P577)
• Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy ID (P5088): title (P1476) (en), author name string (P2093)/author (P50)

I don't generally qualify identifiers when I add them, but I certainly think adding qualifiers is a good idea, especially when automated processes can add the missing data. - PKM (talk) 21:00, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

@PKM: Would you prefer title (P1476) or subject named as (P1810) as qualifier for the title? In your opinion, which is the difference between them? --Epìdosis 15:32, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

@Epìdosis: Title in most cases. “Title” is the published title of a work or encyclopedia entry. Use “named as” when the entry in the source uses a different name than the wikidata item (so “Mark Twain” in a biographical database “named as” Samuel Langhorne Clemens). - PKM (talk) 19:19, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

OK, thank you. --Epìdosis 21:50, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

 Strong support. An automated process would certainly be of great help. Nomen ad hoc (talk) 11:51, 27 May 2020 (UTC).

Wikidata external IDs

Dear Project Members,

I proposed a new template which integrates Wikidata external IDs in Wikipedia to channel in reliable sources as further readings - please weigh in on the idea if you have the time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)?fbclid=IwAR1jjICvpWSSSqYwzT9IsSjMJxfZ7-vLoGjE2U4BB_zPVTg8EJSQ0qylqHQ#A_new_use_for_Wikidata_external_IDs_in_Wikipedia_(template)
