In Cathinka Buchwieser, we need to translate the caption and the title of the song, which is "Der zürnenden Diana", which means "To the ... Diana". Afaik, the old-fashioned "zürnen" is much more serious than "quarrel". I find "get angry", and also "rage against". "Zorn", from which it is derived, comes as anger, wrath, rage, fury ... - no quarrel. Perhaps "raging" comes closest, as "zürnen" is derived from a verb. "To the raging Diana"? - This has "To Diana in her wrath". - this doesn't translate the title, but describes her as a force of destruction. - All of which still doesn't cover the caption. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:35, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

I’m willing to help with the Wikidata task you started at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red#Inconsistency between redlists. I have a tech-ish background, and I learn fast, but I need some help learning how to edit the code. Would you be willing to teach me enough to get started on this? NotARabbit (talk) 21:07, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
Ahah! Investigating your diff, I can see that the edit you made was not on Wikidata, but on the project list page. That should be easy enough to replicate; I’ll start at the other end of the alphabet for occupations. Please do check in on a couple of my edits and make sure I’m doing them right, though. NotARabbit (talk) 21:22, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
?sitelink schema:about ?item .
(but only where it is on its own. It if is in the form OPTIONAL { ?sitelink schema:about ?item . } we leave it alone because it is being used to count sitelinks, FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?wfr schema:about ?item . ?wfr schema:inLanguage "en" }
(and note that the variable name may be different - not ?wfr but ?wen or ?somethingelse ... doesn't matter).< FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?wen schema:about ?item; schema:isPartOf <https://en.wikipedia.org/> . }
?wwiki
instead of ?wiki
). Which brings me to a serious conundrum: is okay to interchange ?wiki
, ?wfr
, and ?wer
? I was copying the text of your edit on mathematicians, and now realize that I’ve been replacing everything willy-nilly as I go. I don’t want to compound the error, if it is an error, so I’ll go do my chores now. Back later. NotARabbit (talk) 22:48, 9 May 2018 (UTC)?sitelink schema:about ?item .
in ... needs to be removed (I've done). Playrights - ditto, needed to remove ?sitelink schema:about ?item .
(done). Novelists - ditto - done. Journalists - yes, you're right, the SPARQL as you found it was wrong. You were correct to make both variable names the same ... doesn't matter what the name is, does matter that it is the same. It's saying "there's a value which is a sitelink, and the same value is a member of en.wiki." If you use different variables names, then it reads 'there is a value which is a site link, and there is a different value which is part of en.wiki.'. So there are two errors we're trying to correct ... footballers you corrected both. The others you corrected one out of the two, which is why the row lengths increased; but I fixed the other, which is why they increased again. And you fixed the Journalists error just for the hell of it. Journalists dropped by a large amount because it has been broken since October 2017, and in that time has had the limit lowered from 5000 to 2000. So. All good; thanks for doing those, and I hope SPARQL is becoming a little clearer. It's great stuff.?sitelink schema:about ?item .
, and thank you for cleaning those up. ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5
... i.e. they're not checking the item is a human, but assuming that a female with an occupation is a human. I've not corrected this in the By Nationality - A; might go back and do so later. The most harm the omission will do, is to include some fictional characters in the lists ... and very few of them. Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by nationality/Afghanistan varies from the others - it's looking at several different properties in an item, for country=Afghanistan .. such as 'Country for Sport'. I need some time to convince myself of its approach before I apply it more widely; and right now I've run out of time. this diff shows what I did for Afghanistan ... mainly fixed the normal error; made it neater by inserting line breaks, and added in the P31 doodab. Have fun. --Tagishsimon (talk) 13:43, 10 May 2018 (UTC)My SPARQL skills are still extremely rudimentary; I can “read” much better than I can “write” in the language. But I keep lurching along.
Your WQS report is dismaying! Not for the numbers in various occupations, but for the list of occupations themselves. There are 39,911 Q33999 (actor), but that number is incomplete unless you include Q15290732 (Actress), of which there are 5. There are acrobatic gymnasts and acrobatic gymnastics, archaeologists and archaeologists of the Roman provinces, acting and acting coaches, action films and activism, accompaniments and accompanists, agricultural scientists, agriculture, and agronomists. And that’s just dipping into the A’s.
It makes me want to dive in and start merging and correcting all that mess. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Wikidata is just as allovertheplace as all the other projects! I think I was misled by the work “structured” in “structured data” — I thought that meant it would be orderly. Instead, it’s just as rambunctious and disordered as other human endeavors!
I’ll stop ranting on your talk page now. NotARabbit (talk) 02:40, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I discovered that ((Wikidata list)) has a lovely little built-in parameter that we can take advantage of for our redlists: links
. If you set it to links=red_only
, it removes “entries for which there exists a local article”. Very handy, and it works. Simplifies the SPARQL query. Cheers! NotARabbit (talk) 23:31, 20 May 2018 (UTC)
MINUS {?item wdt:P27 wd:Q183 .}
statements remove items which appear in the other country lists. There is a task to be done of looking through the Rest of World lists for country values that could be added to a country list (and deducted from the Rest of World with an additional MINUS statement). And in the Writers - Russia list we see the handling for multiple countries - another VALUES statement. --Tagishsimon (talk) 00:03, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
[]
to stand in for an object of “any value”. I’ve been using it to find just how many geologists we’ve been missing because no one specified their gender. (Most of them are difficult to figure out unless you know their native language, but I’ve found a few Georges, Borises, and Neldas.) And while adding some explanatory comments to the list of scientists, I realized that NO earth scientists were included (humph!), so there’s not much overlap with the list I made. :-) NotARabbit (talk) 04:43, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I think Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Librarians and Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Curators may benefit from your helping hand.--Ipigott (talk) 07:26, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
I appreciate all the work you have been doing on the Wikidata lists and the templates but I've just been trying to access Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Actresses from the Redlist index and found it was no longer there, having been replaced by Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Redlist_index#actresses which points to lists by country. I see the same process has been implemented for painters, politicians and writers. I think it is rather unfortunate that the main lists have disappeared as I frequently make use of them to search, for instance, for actresses who died many years ago (wherever they came from) or for those who were both actresses and singers, etc., etc. I know you have been concerned that these general lists have not been able to display all the potential names but those already listed can be very useful when we are searching for pertinent articles which comply with specific criteria. Would it not be possible to include the longer lists before each item (actresses, painters, politicians, writers) on the "Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Redlist_index#actresses" listing, possibly with a word of explanation? Rather than simply being bold and reinserting them myself, it would be useful to have reactions from SusunW and Megalibrarygirl.--Ipigott (talk) 10:58, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Hi Tagishsimon,
I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.
Cheers, and hope to see you around, — Insertcleverphrasehere (or here) 21:20, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Angelab vertical mirror.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Facto Post – Issue 17 – 29 October 2018
Around 2.7 million Wikidata items have an illustrative image. These files, you might say, are Wikimedia's stock images, and if the number is large, it is still only 5% or so of items that have one. All such images are taken from Wikimedia Commons, which has 50 million media files. One key issue is how to expand the stock. Indeed, there is a tool. WD-FIST exploits the fact that each Wikipedia is differently illustrated, mostly with images from Commons but also with fair use images. An item that has sitelinks but no illustrative image can be tested to see if the linked wikis have a suitable one. This works well for a volunteer who wants to add images at a reasonable scale, and a small amount of SPARQL knowledge goes a long way in producing checklists. It should be noted, though, that there are currently 53 Wikidata properties that link to Commons, of which P18 for the basic image is just one. WD-FIST prompts the user to add signatures, plaques, pictures of graves and so on. There are a couple of hundred monograms, mostly of historical figures, and this query allows you to view all of them. commons:Category:Monograms and its subcategories provide rich scope for adding more. And so it is generally. The list of properties linking to Commons does contain a few that concern video and audio files, and rather more for maps. But it contains gems such as P3451 for "nighttime view". Over 1000 of those on Wikidata, but as for so much else, there could be yet more. Go on. Today is Wikidata's birthday. An illustrative image is always an acceptable gift, so why not add one? You can follow these easy steps: (i) log in at https://tools.wmflabs.org/widar/, (ii) paste the Petscan ID 6263583 into https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ and click run, and (iii) just add cake.

If you feel the need to complain about the stupidity of others, then at least make sure that you know the difference between a speedy and a prod. Furthermore, Sebastiana de Jesus Salcedo is unknown as such (no Google books hits at all for that name). You may see some obvious reason why that prod was extremely stupid, bubt the least you could have done was to improve the article to remove the reason for the prod. Otherwise you are just throwing around empty insults, which is not really useful. Fram (talk) 16:37, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

Facto Post – Issue 18 – 30 November 2018
GLAM ♥ data — what is a gallery, library, archive or museum without a catalogue? It follows that Wikidata must love librarians. Bibliography supports students and researchers in any topic, but open and machine-readable bibliographic data even more so, outside the silo. Cue the WikiCite initiative, which was meeting in conference this week, in the Bay Area of California. In fact there is a broad scope: "Open Knowledge Maps via SPARQL" and the "Sum of All Welsh Literature", identification of research outputs, Library.Link Network and Bibframe 2.0, OSCAR and LUCINDA (who they?), OCLC and Scholia, all these co-exist on the agenda. Certainly more library science is coming Wikidata's way. That poses the question about the other direction: is more Wikimedia technology advancing on libraries? Good point. Wikimedians generally are not aware of the tech background that can be assumed, unless they are close to current training for librarians. A baseline definition is useful here: "bash, git and OpenRefine". Compare and contrast with pywikibot, GitHub and mix'n'match. Translation: scripting for automation, version control, data set matching and wrangling in the large, are on the agenda also for contemporary library work. Certainly there is some possible common ground here. Time to understand rather more about the motivations that operate in the library sector.
Account creation is now open on the ScienceSource wiki, where you can see SPARQL visualisations of text mining.

As is probably painfully obvious, I'm not a Wikipedia user but I appreciate your support against that VintageFeminist lady. I came in with good intentions but I'm finding myself repeatedly attacked by her. I assume it's because I'm "attacking" the arguments put forward by Rachel parent and her anti-GMO pro-organic website and entire narrative. I've confirmed that the website was set up by Wayne Parent of Nutrition House (as others had already noted) but apparently that's not enough either. I sense an air of misandry about this and it's making me uncomfortable. Wikipedia isn't really my thing as should be obvious from my mea culpas. I have nothing against Rachel, but her message isn't just wrong, it's deliberately deceitful. Any simple fact checking on the site shows a typical anti-science bent and a deep connection to a web of the usual suspects like Vandana Shiva and Jeffery Smith. I have other questions I need to ask them but, coming from traditional media as I do, you won't accept my word unless I have citations on "reputable" site. It's a circular problem to a degree. Sorry for moaning but I'm getting discouraged from trying to help. Smidoid (talk) 23:55, 1 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi tagishsimon,
Thanks for all the input on my article! I'm travelling for work today and tomorrow so I may be a little tardy in following up as I doubt I'll get time to read all the guidelines you've pointed me towards until Wednesday at which point I will be able to get it all done. I trust that's fine with you. Really appreciate you helping me learn the ropes. I'm quite familiar with WordPress and a few other web publishing platforms but Wikipedia very much has a different interface and I can see I have plenty to learn. Speak more on Wednesday.

A tag has been placed on Amitchell125/Archive5 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The album is properly titled "Moon And Sand". I don't know why the artist chose to capitalize the "A" in "and," but there it is on the cover [11]. I would add a picture of the cover if I had any facility with that kind of thing. Regards, Hamster Sandwich (talk) 02:53, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
@Hamster Sandwich: The covers that I've seen have the entire title in uppercase - e.g. https://www.allmusic.com/album/moon-and-sand-mw0000611944 and https://www.discogs.com/Kenny-Burrell-Moon-And-Sand/release/3658420 so I'm puzzled as to why you would come to this page and make the above claim, as if a title of AND must always be rendered as And. Are you suggesting now that the wikipedia article should be all uppercase? Or have you merely decided that your title-case And is better than a conventional lower-case and? --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:03, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for connecting Chikakiyo's fifth daughter to a WikiData item. I was aware of the ja.wiki article earlier, but unfortunately I don't agree with what they've done over there, and am planning on creating separate articles on Chikakiyo's fourth daughter, Chikakiyo's daughter and Chikakiyo's daughter's younger sister. User:Hijiri88/Inter-WAM/2019/003 is what I've got done so far, but I'm considering putting the project on hold until we can get community consensus on how to format the names of these and similar articles. (The most famous are Takasue's daughter, Shunzei's daughter and Michitsuna's mother but I've found at least a dozen or so more.)
At the very least the topic merits two separate articles since the fourth and fifth daughters were definitely different people, and once those two articles exist I'm not sure what to do about WikiData short of going to ja.wiki and requesting they follow suit and split the article there. Thoughts?
Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 03:06, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
I'm thinking that Chikakiyo's fifth daughter should actually have its own wikidata item ... the ja.wiki linked item is presumably about the set of daughters?That's right. He had at least two poet daughters, one of whom is known to history as the fourth daughter and the other as the fifth. He definitely had at least three other daughters (obviously!), but there is uncertainty as to whether the "Chikakiyo's daughter" and "Chikakiyo's daughter's younger sister" (mentioned in some other official court anthologies) might be the same two people as the fourth and fifth daughters, or one might be the same, or he had four daughters whose poems have come down to us. For this reason it seems ja.wiki just said "Fuck it -- one article on Chikakiyo's daughters".
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Grokline is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grokline (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. damiens.rf 10:13, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Facto Post – Issue 19 – 27 December 2018
Zotero is free software for reference management by the Center for History and New Media: see Wikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero. It is also an active user community, and has broad-based language support. Besides the handiness of Zotero's warehousing of personal citation collections, the Zotero translator underlies the citoid service, at work behind the VisualEditor. Metadata from Wikidata can be imported into Zotero; and in the other direction the zotkat tool from the University of Mannheim allows Zotero bibliographies to be exported to Wikidata, by item creation. With an extra feature to add statements, that route could lead to much development of the focus list (P5008) tagging on Wikidata, by WikiProjects. There is also a large-scale encyclopedic dimension here. The construction of Zotero translators is one facet of Web scraping that has a strong community and open source basis. In that it resembles the less formal mix'n'match import community, and growing networks around other approaches that can integrate datasets into Wikidata, such as the use of OpenRefine. Looking ahead, the thirtieth birthday of the World Wide Web falls in 2019, and yet the ambition to make webpages routinely readable by machines can still seem an ever-retreating mirage. Wikidata should not only be helping Wikimedia integrate its projects, an ongoing process represented by Structured Data on Commons and lexemes. It should also be acting as a catalyst to bring scraping in from the cold, with institutional strengths as well as resourceful code.
Diversitech, the latest ContentMine grant application to the Wikimedia Foundation, is in its community review stage until January 2.

Facto Post – Issue 20 – 31 January 2019
Recently Jimmy Wales has made the point that computer home assistants take much of their data from Wikipedia, one way or another. So as well as getting Spotify to play Frosty the Snowman for you, they may be able to answer the question "is the Pope Catholic?" Possibly by asking for disambiguation (Coptic?). Headlines about data breaches are now familiar, but the unannounced circulation of information raises other issues. One of those is Gresham's law stated as "bad data drives out good". Wikipedia and now Wikidata have been criticised on related grounds: what if their content, unattributed, is taken to have a higher standing than Wikimedians themselves would grant it? See Wikiquote on a misattribution to Bismarck for the usual quip about "law and sausages", and why one shouldn't watch them in the making. Wikipedia has now turned 18, so should act like as adult, as well as being treated like one. The Web itself turns 30 some time between March and November this year, per Tim Berners-Lee. If the Knowledge Graph by Google exemplifies Heraclitean Web technology gaining authority, contra GIGO, Wikimedians still have a role in its critique. But not just with the teenage skill of detecting phoniness. There is more to beating Gresham than exposing the factoid and urban myth, where WP:V does do a great job. Placeholders must be detected, and working with Wikidata is a good way to understand how having one statement as data can blind us to replacing it by a more accurate one. An example that is important to open access is that, firstly, the term itself needs considerable unpacking, because just being able to read material online is a poor relation of "open"; and secondly, trying to get Creative Commons license information into Wikidata shows up issues with classes of license (such as CC-BY) standing for the actual license in major repositories. Detailed investigation shows that "everything flows" exacerbates the issue. But Wikidata can solve it.

Facto Post – Issue 21 – 28 February 2019
Systematic reviews are basic building blocks of evidence-based medicine, surveys of existing literature devoted typically to a definite question that aim to bring out scientific conclusions. They are principled in a way Wikipedians can appreciate, taking a critical view of their sources. Ben Goldacre in 2014 wrote (link below) "[...] : the "information architecture" of evidence based medicine (if you can tolerate such a phrase) is a chaotic, ad hoc, poorly connected ecosystem of legacy projects. In some respects the whole show is still run on paper, like it's the 19th century." Is there a Wikidatan in the house? Wouldn't some machine-readable content that is structured data help? Most likely it would, but the arcana of systematic reviews and how they add value would still need formal handling. The PRISMA standard dates from 2009, with an update started in 2018. The concerns there include the corpus of papers used: how selected and filtered? Now that Wikidata has a 20.9 million item bibliography, one can at least pose questions. Each systematic review is a tagging opportunity for a bibliography. Could that tagging be reproduced by a query, in principle? Can it even be second-guessed by a query (i.e. simulated by a protocol which translates into SPARQL)? Homing in on the arcana, do the inclusion and filtering criteria translate into metadata? At some level they must, but are these metadata explicitly expressed in the articles themselves? The answer to that is surely "no" at this point, but can TDM find them? Again "no", right now. Automatic identification doesn't just happen. Actually these questions lack originality. It should be noted though that WP:MEDRS, the reliable sources guideline used here for health information, hinges on the assumption that the usefully systematic reviews of biomedical literature can be recognised. Its nutshell summary, normally the part of a guideline with the highest density of common sense, allows literature reviews in general validity, but WP:MEDASSESS qualifies that indication heavily. Process wonkery about systematic reviews definitely has merit.

Facto Post – Issue 22 – 28 March 2019
Half a century ago, it was the era of the mainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novel Billion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we have the cloud, with server farms and the client–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on a Chromebook. The term Applications Programming Interface or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While a compiler is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit the MediaWiki API. APIs (called RESTful) that allow for the GET HTTP request are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides the SPARQL language, could be in Python, younger by a few months than the Web. Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enter Ali Baba's cave or the western door of Moria (French in the case of "Open Sesame", in fact, and Sindarin being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to the wikt:impactful or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained to Winnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

Thank you for your comments, I understand that such titles are confusing to such amateurs, but I believe that in order for anyone to edit a page they must fully understand context and form/appearances of that page/subject. Please correct if I am wrong, but I believe you are not familiar with such, very professional and quality works of, either exhibit Template:Ranks and Insignia of NATO Navies/OF/United Kingdom or more appropriately for the subject exhibit Template:Ranks and Insignia of NZCF/CDT/ALL. I also believe that the page title acts as an address such as the NZCF/CDT/ALL is much similar to my own Template:Insignia of UK/CDT/CCF/RN.
If I have acted at all, it is to create a better and more professional page for my Combined Cadet Force or my Community Cadet Force. The GVCAC, which I am not even apart of, can keep it how it is if they like.

Facto Post – Issue 23 – 30 April 2019
Talk of cloud computing draws a veil over hardware, but also, less obviously but more importantly, obscures such intellectual distinction as matters most in its use. Wikidata begins to allow tasks to be undertaken that were out of easy reach. The facility should not be taken as the real point. Coming in from another angle, the "executive decision" is more glamorous; but the "administrative decision" should be admired for its command of facts. Think of the attitudes ad fontes, so prevalent here on Wikipedia as "can you give me a source for that?", and being prepared to deal with complicated analyses into specified subcases. Impatience expressed as a disdain for such pedantry is quite understandable, but neither dirty data nor false dichotomies are at all good to have around. Issue 13 and Issue 21, respectively on WP:MEDRS and systematic reviews, talk about biomedical literature and computing tasks that would be of higher quality if they could be made more "administrative". For example, it is desirable that the decisions involved be consistent, explicable, and reproducible by non-experts from specified inputs. What gets clouded out is not impossibly hard to understand. You do need to put together the insights of functional programming, which is a doctrinaire and purist but clearcut approach, with the practicality of office software. Loopless computation can be conceived of as a seamless forward march of spreadsheet columns, each determined by the content of previous ones. Very well: to do a backward audit, when now we are talking about Wikidata, we rely on integrity of data and its scrupulous sourcing: and clearcut case analyses. The MEDRS example forces attention on purge attempts such as Beall's list.

Facto Post – Issue 24 – 17 May 2019
Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, a valediction at least for a while. It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM (text and data mining). Wikidata and now Structured Data on Commons represent the overlap of Wikimedia with the Semantic Web. This common ground is helping to convert an engineering concept into a movement. TDM generally has little enough connection with the Semantic Web, being instead in the orbit of machine learning which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?" The ScienceSource project innovates in TDM, by storing its text mining results in a Wikibase site. It strives for compliance of its fact mining, on drug treatments of diseases, with an automated form of the relevant Wikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS. Where WikiFactMine set up an API for reuse of its results, ScienceSource has a SPARQL query service, with look-and-feel exactly that of Wikidata's at query.wikidata.org. It also now has a custom front end, and its content can be federated, in other words used in data mashups: it is one of over 50 sites that can federate with Wikidata. The human factor comes to bear through the front end, which combines a link to the HTML version of a paper, text mining results organised in drug and disease columns, and a SPARQL display of nearby drug and disease terms. Much software to develop and explain, so little time! Rather than telling the tale, Facto Post brings you ScienceSource links, starting from the how-to video, lower right.
The review tool requires a log in on sciencesource.wmflabs.org, and an OAuth permission (bottom of a review page) to operate. It can be used in simple and more advanced workflows. Examples of queries for the latter are at d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource project/Queries#SS_disease_list and d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource_project/Queries#NDF-RT issue. Please be aware that this is a research project in development, and may have outages for planned maintenance. That will apply for the next few days, at least. The ScienceSource wiki main page carries information on practical matters. Email is not enabled on the wiki: use site mail here to Charles Matthews in case of difficulty, or if you need support. Further explanatory videos will be put into commons:Category:ContentMine videos. If you wish to receive no further issues of Facto Post, please remove your name from our mailing list. Alternatively, to opt out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Battersea Town Hall you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Battersea Town Hall you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Battersea Town Hall for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi Tagishsimon, I have a concern about the WiR statistics. In the last day or so I've noticed a lot of Wikidata items being created by the bot User:GZWDer_(flood). It seems to create items for all sorts of Wikipedia articles and not just for English Wikipedia. But in many cases it only creates the item, so they won't come up on your list of "Instance of: human". An example is Q65047730, to which I have subsequently added a description, instance (human) and sex or gender (male). Another concern is that I have found and merged a number of Wikidata items created by this bot, which you will see if you look in my user contributions. Happy to provide examples if needed. Not sure how to handle this, hence am raising it with you. Oronsay (talk) 07:51, 6 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi.

Thanks a million for all the additions you have been making to Wikidata over the past few days. I see you have been adding all the WiR Listeria redlists as well as a considerable number of new articles, no doubt trying to cover the entries which would normally have been made by a bot. I have never received so many alerts. I did not realize I had started so many redlists. I must say I am now very relieved to have someone with real competence taking care of the Wikidata work. You are really doing a great job.--Ipigott (talk) 09:37, 10 July 2019 (UTC)

Just to say thanks for connecting Madalena Boavida to a Wikidata item - I'm sorry, I forgot to do it for her! As that didn't automatically bring up the German version of the article, I just checked, and found it was connected to Maria Boavida in Wikidata, so I've merged that to the item you created (which was newer, but had more information), and added more variant names there too. Thanks again! RebeccaGreen (talk) 20:16, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for making this new data item. But can you please explain why you thought it appropriate to add a statement that her citizenship is American? We have no sources for that claim. The article does not state a birthplace. The article lists her as "American", but all I meant by stating that in the article is that she was educated in and works in the US. For academics, in particular, making the jump from that sort of statement to an inference about citizenship is often a mistake. I think in this case it is more likely than not that she actually is a US citizen, but we should not say such things without much more certainty than that. This sort of dubious statement is a big part of why my trust in the integrity of Wikidata and my willingness to allow any of its data to be imported to Wikipedia is so low. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:44, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi Tagishsimon! I wanted to create the lists of WiR for the Spanish project Wikimujeres, and then when I started re-creating the queries for listeria I realized some of them were working while some of them weren't. Then I realized that for example this query that you did has some sections of code that include thins like this: filter(str(?sitelink_list)="Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/Missing articles by occupation/Actresses" that seem to be the reason why I'm unable to then recreate the query on Spanish Wikipedia. Any hint on how to solve this issue would be appreciated. I tried to replace that with the link for the same page but on Spanish (like this one for actress) but that didn't work either. Anyways, I'm not super proficient with SPARQL queries but if you give me some hints I can replace the code and make it work for Spanish missing women. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again!

Hi there. I found you on the WikiProject Oregon Graphics page. I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction for getting a route map made (or making one myself) for an article on Naito Parkway I created. I went through the instructions on the US Roads WikiProject maps page and wound up sinking several hours into QGIS and inkscape without any usable results. It seems like any blank OSM tiles I've found are cluttered with too much irrelevant detail to be appropriate. I haven't asked at US Roads, as their scope would not include this map. Is there a solution I'm overlooking? Any help or advice you can provide is appreciated.

Hi Tagishsimon, would you happen to have a WIR/gender gap dashboard for basic Wikidata stats? E.g., to see at a glance, the current gender ratio of enwp biographies, number of enwp biographies without a tagged gender. I was curious about enwp biography gender ratios by various factors such as occupation and other Wikidata attributes. Do you have a dashboard (or set of regular queries) to monitor stuff like this already? If not, no worries, but thought I'd ask. czar 08:40, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi Tagishsimon, some years back I recall you were willing to consider proposed COI edits related to a U.S. politics and business BLP that I worked on, and I am wondering if you might be interested to look at another. Since the summer I've been working with advisers of the former U.S. Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to propose changes to his biographical article. Although the article is well more than a stub, it's also missing quite a bit about his career prior to government service and even some key roles he played in the Clinton administration.
As always, I refrain from making direct edits to articles and seek volunteer help, but over the last seven weeks or so, I've tried reaching out to various wikiprojects and even past editors of the page, and received either crickets or (mostly) polite refusals on the basis that I am working with people close to Mr. Rubin. Remembering that you were open-minded and thoughtful before, I figured I would reach out and see if this interested you at all. If so, you might have a look at my suggestion on the Rubin talk page about the 1993 Deficit Reduction Act. If not, I'll respect that. Thanks, WWB Too (Talk · COI) 13:45, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

You recently rejected an article about the oldest continuously operated film theatre in the United States. I was hoping this stub, not really article could spark more edits from other people. A documentary featuring the town/theatre called Saving Brinton was created and has its own wikipedia page. Considering Washington, Iowa is a very old and rural community I highly doubt people from that community are familiar with wikipedia processes and procedures but if the article is already created I am sure they could contribute. It is also of great historical importance. Please reconsider this, thank you.

Hello @Tagishsimon:,
I am confused as to why my article 2020–21 Melbourne Stars season was declined by you. I understand that yes, outsiders reading the article would have no idea who the Melbourne Stars are going to be confused by it, but at the same time people with no prior knowledge of the team would have no reason to read the article. There was even an embedded link that directs readers to the main article of the club so it's evident that you're not even trying to understand. Are you here to say that the article 2020–21 Liverpool F.C. season says anything of who and what Liverpool F.C is?? Please, if you're going to reject an article aimed at an extremely specific group of cricket viewers, at least think of a indisputable reason and not some fluff pulled out of your rear end.

Thank you for considering the Brainphone draft. This article was my first attempt at a Wikipedia contribution. Your critique and concerns are valid -- for now. I'll try again in a year, when the reality is closer to the writing. :=) I sincerely appreciate your time and advice. OldCyberGuy (talk) 19:41, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello, I'm Firestar464. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Wikipedia strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. (Redacted) Firestar464 (talk) 12:29, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi Tagishsimon,
I want to answer your comment - "Why is this, out of 8 zillion libraries, notable? Tagishsimon (talk) 16:39, 25 November 2020 (UTC)"
A. There are just four TPM libraries in total. If we count Microsoft's own TPM library that's five. But not even one zillion :)
B. wolfTPM is the only TPM library designed for Embedded Systems. It is also the only one without external dependencies, which makes it lightweight and easy to deploy on devices with limited resources. Such systems are IoT Industrial Medical list goes on.
C. go-tpm is created by a team at google and what is notable for it is they used golang. All other TPM libraries are written in C programming language. This library has been deployed on systems with lots of performance, like data centers and google's cloud servers.
Both wolfTPM and go-tpm were created last year (2019). Before that there were just Intel and IBM's TPM libraries.
The field of Trusted Computing and TPM is slowly rising in 2020. One of the reasons for the slow adoption is the difficulty of acquiring information about the technology. I hope that by adding information about wolfTPM and go-tpm in Wikipedia more people will be aware there are two new libraries. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomovdimi (talk • contribs) 21:53, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
I dont own Handshake, just found and recently and have done a lot of research on it. I guess I am pretty excited about its future, but I have no stake in it reaally besides like $5 lol I guess I can be proud to know I wrote something good enough that it make it seem like I owend a whole company :D
Do you have any suggestions where I can hunt for better sources for this stuff? Handshake is fairly new I guess, just a year, so I guess there hasnt been much coverage yet
Im wanting to add this dns root to wikipedia so people have a public source to learn about it, and I based the whole article writing style off this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namecoin
Imagine a decentralized internet! The more you censor the information the less chances people learn about alternatives like Namecoin and Handshake.. people need to be able to learn about these things!
Hey! It's Switherlandio. When I made my Wikipedia account the goal was introducing things not a lot of people around the world knew about that was still notable enough to be on Wikipedia. The first 2 or 3 I made were not very good and didn't cite sources because I didn't know how. After practicing in my sandbox I decided I knew how to add sources and began my creation. I looked up things on Wikipedia and most of them were already on here. Suddenly I looked up "Manmade Sea Plan" and it was not on here. I began adding my article and tried hard to add reliable sources. They were reliable enough but you said my article was "something you made up". I am willing to take any advice but I did not make up that topic. The small YouTuber who came up with the idea, coincidentally just did a live stream a few hours ago. I am one of very few people who give her credit for it. Most people don't know who came up with the idea and just post about it online. I cited really notable websites who talked about it. Y Combinator is the same company that funded Reddit and 2 other notable websites. They talked about it. Please respond soon. I understand you are very busy.

Hi - I really appreciate your feedback, although some of your language did upset me, I'm only trying to bring value to Wikipedia, and not annoy you!
I understand that you're busy, but could if you could spare a couple of minutes, I'd really appreciate some added guidance on the points you raised?
I'm more than happy to remove the term "premium" if you deem that advertorial, but I only used that term because I extracted it from the Harvard Business School and BCG Institute publication referenced below. I did the same with cutting-edge algorithm (hence the quotations).
I have gone back and edited the language as per your request but I would just like some clarity for future pages, because I've been trying to write this article as if I were writing an evidence-supported academic dissertation, extracting details from external sources to guide the core points of information.
I've been researching and editing other platforms in the industry for a guide as to what to write, so if I was to take a look at Catalant (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalant) and the unreferenced mentions of "intelligent recommendations" - would this not be deemed puffery too?
Does the latest version add that crucial layer of neutrality now? It's been an interesting learning curve, so thank you for guiding me towards my first Wikipedia article creation. I have a few more articles about the contingent workforce and shift to digital for freelancers that I can't wait to write next, so I'm really excited to get past this first step as a page creator! Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ansgrayson (talk • contribs) 09:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
ADDED NOTE: I am a financial consultant, so I certainly do not work for a recruitment company, nor for anybody sadly at this moment?. I am a freelancer who gets connected to work, and the shift to remote work has opened up new opportunities for freelancers across the world to find better opportunities than we were able to before - this is a really important topic right now - independent workers need to be aware of the platforms like Toptal, Catalant, Comatch, Fiverr, Talmix, Beeline that are out there to connect us to work while many of us (myself included)have lost jobs during the pandemic.

Dear Tagishsimon, I appreciate your comment, however feel that your use of the words "many clever productive people" is rather rude. Wikipedia allows space for people whose only claim to fame are things of dubious nature (e.g. Lewinsky). Dr. Nagel unfortunatly was born in the 1940s and thus belongs to a generation, who is not as marketing savy and self-promoting as we all currently are. He is however hands down a globally reknown in the specific field of Hydropower, but how can that be shown to your satisfaction. What is it you need.
LatinHydro (talk) 19:13, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
Hey Tagishsimon, I saw that you declined my draft because my "submission is about a company or organization not yet shown to meet notability guidelines (AFCH 0.9.1)". Instead of claiming that the company is an organization, I edited that draft to explain that it's an Instagram account. Based on the draft I believe there is sufficient evidence through references that this is an Instagram account, similar to the fuckjerry Wiki page. Would these adjustments allow the article to get approved? If not, how can I position it as an Instagram page to get approval? Thanks RickyRosea69 (talk) 09:06, 10 December 2020 (EST)

Hello Tagishsimon,
Last week you declined my article "Comment: Apart from content and, especially, obnoxious format which renders this indistinguishable from an advert, what we have is an article almosy wholly predicated on routine PR and financial press, which fails the WP:N test per WP:CORPDEPTH. Laying low value refs on with a trowel is not a substitute for proof of notability. Tagishsimon (talk) 16:51, 16 December 2020 (UTC)".
I edited the article, added sources from CNBC news, Forbes, Bloomberg, Reuters, South China Morning post, Bangkok Post, SD Times, Yahoo, Nasdaq and Coinspeaker. I also added a PDF files and PDF file from the Federal Reserve.
In total I more than 120 sources for my article.
please confirm my hard work.

Hi, the creation of page Scalable Screen Font was declined for uncertain reasons. It was said to be an advertisement, however that simply can't be true as it is a Free and Open Source project, used by several hobby OS developers and other embedded system developers.
It is used just as PC Screen Font (which wasn't declined as an advertisement), but also also supports outline fonts which is a feature that many developers might be interested in.

Thank you for your feedback.
I have listed a few things regarding the notability of Maximilian Stoiber: I went through the guidelines and figured the following:
1. The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
Stoiber created and therefore originated a significant concept - two open source projects being: react-boilerplate and styled-components, which are being used by thousands of software engineers worldwide, including those at Google, airbnb, Disney+. He is one of the most sought-after engineers in his professional field despite his young age of 23.
He was awarded by Forbes 30 under 30 internationally for his work at Spectrum.
Also regarding his biography, an addition:
2. The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.
Stoiber is widely-known in the field of software engineering. His contribution in open source is now to be found in 1% of all websites available. She.writes about him (talk) 08:52, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

[...] simple obvious things like emboldening the title name in the initial sentence like every other article on wikipedia you've ever read.While the rest of your feedback was very spot-on and helpful (I had been helping this user on IRC, but they unfortunately left before I got to notability), I feel like the ending comment was a bit brusque. While I do have some amount of clue, I personally never really thought about the emboldening of the title in the initial sentence of an article because it's not an area I usually work in. I have to imagine that someone who is even newer to Wikipedia would be even more unaware of that convention as well. Perryprog (talk) 15:41, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
