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 morelibrary 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 andOpenRefine". Compare and contrast withpywikibot,GitHub andmix'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.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added toCategory:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found atWP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact thebot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them atWikipedia talk:Non-free content.

The fileFile:Araromire OST.jpg has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner inThe Figurine#Music and soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained inWP:NFC#cite_note-3 and thecontext for non-free use required byWP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained inWP:FILMSCORE.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may bedeleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing{{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop theproposed deletion process, but otherdeletion processes exist. In particular, thespeedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, andfiles for discussion allows discussion to reachconsensus for deletion. --Marchjuly (talk)05:31, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Zotero is free software for reference management by theCenter for History and New Media: seeWikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero. It is also an active user community, and has broad-basedlanguage support.  Besides the handiness of Zotero's warehousing of personal citation collections, theZotero translator underlies thecitoid service, at work behind the VisualEditor. Metadata from Wikidatacan be imported into Zotero; and in the other direction thezotkat 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 ofWeb scraping that has a strong community and open source basis. In that it resembles the less formalmix'n'match import community, and growing networks around other approaches that can integrate datasets into Wikidata, such as the use ofOpenRefine. 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 andlexemes. It should also be acting as a catalyst to bring scraping in from the cold, with institutional strengths as well as resourceful code.

Greetings!
The Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-thon was concluded on 30 November 2018, and we've had amazing results. Over 570 articles were created across 8 language-Wikipedias. 7 in-person gatherings of Wikipedians were organized across different parts of the world.
All our winners have been recognized and you can check the complete listhere.
For a pilot event, all our expectations were surpassed and we have you to thank for that. Thank you so much for being part of this global event! Thank you for helping to fix African content gaps on Wikipedia! We hope to see more of your participation in future AfroCine events and activities. Please remember to signup on the mainWikiProject participants page, in order to get updated with these activities.--Jamie Tubers (talk)23:50, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Recently Jimmy Wales has made the point thatcomputer home assistants take much of their data from Wikipedia, one way or another. So as well as getting Spotify to playFrosty the Snowman for you, they may be able to answer the question "is the Pope Catholic?" Possibly by asking for disambiguation (Coptic?). Headlines aboutdata breaches are now familiar, but the unannounced circulation of information raises other issues. One of those isGresham'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? SeeWikiquote 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, perTim Berners-Lee. If theKnowledge Graph by Google exemplifiesHeraclitean Web technology gaining authority, contraGIGO, Wikimedians still have a role in its critique. But not just with the teenage skill ofdetecting phoniness. There is more to beating Gresham than exposing thefactoid andurban myth, whereWP: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 toopen 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 asCC-BY) standing for the actual license in major repositories. Detailed investigation shows that "everything flows" exacerbates the issue. But Wikidata can solve it.

Systematic reviews are basic building blocks ofevidence-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 isstructured data help? Most likely it would, but the arcana of systematic reviews and how they add value would still need formal handling. ThePRISMA 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 canTDM find them? Again "no", right now.Automatic identification doesn't just happen. Actually these questions lack originality. It should be noted though thatWP: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, allowsliterature reviews in general validity, butWP:MEDASSESS qualifies that indication heavily. Process wonkery about systematic reviews definitely has merit.

Half a century ago, it was the era of themainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novelBillion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we havethe cloud, withserver farms and theclient–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on aChromebook. The termApplications 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 acompiler 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 theMediaWiki API. APIs (calledRESTful) that allow for theGET 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 theSPARQL language, could be inPython, 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 enterAli Baba's cave or the western door ofMoria (French in the case of "Open Sesame", in fact, andSindarin 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 thewikt: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 toWinnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

 Talk ofcloud 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 attitudesad 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 suchpedantry is quite understandable, but neitherdirty data norfalse dichotomies are at all good to have around. Issue 13 andIssue 21, respectively onWP:MEDRS andsystematic 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 offunctional programming, which is a doctrinaire and purist but clearcut approach, with the practicality ofoffice 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 asBeall's list.

Hello. I happened to recently stumble back across this page that I had spent a decent amount of time editing last year, only to find that youreverted all of my edits. It would have been nice if you had reached out to me first before doing that. If you actually look at the content of the page after my edits, I had simply cleaned out all the buildings that had been cancelled, or had no source or evidence of ever existing. I also added sources for every single building that was left on the page. The edit that you reverted to had many missing citations, poor overall formatting, and incorrect content. I'm planning on reverting back to my revision, while including any recent changes when I get a chance, but I wanted to let you know in case you had a reason for the original revert, and to hopefully prevent you from undoing all my work again.

Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, avalediction at least for a while. It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM (text and data mining). Wikidata and nowStructured Data on Commons represent the overlap of Wikimedia with theSemantic 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 ofmachine learning which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?" TheScienceSource project innovates in TDM, by storing its text mining results in aWikibase site. It strives for compliance of its fact mining, on drug treatments of diseases, with an automated form of the relevantWikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS. WhereWikiFactMine set up anAPI 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 befederated, in other words used in data mashups: it is one ofover 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 atd:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource project/Queries#SS_disease_list andd: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 fileFile:Phone Swap OST Cover.jpg has beenproposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner inPhone Swap#Music and soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained inWP:NFC#cite_note-3 and thecontext for non-free use required byWP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained inWP:FILMSCORE.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may bedeleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the{{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in youredit summary or onthe file's talk page.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. InWikipedia:WikiProject AfroCine/Months of African Cinema/Users By Articles, I had the idea that using piped links to display article names partly in italics, as is typical on disambiguation pages, would be a good idea. See, for example,Banaras (disambiguation), which includes piped links to display film names within wikilinks in italics. Is there a reason you made changes like from
{{flagicon|Mauritius}}[[Benares (film)|''Benares'' (film)]]- Wikidata Item '''(1+0+0.5 =1.5)''':
Benares (film)- Wikidata Item(1+0+0.5 =1.5)to
{{flagicon|Mauritius}}[[Benares (film)]]- Wikidata Item '''(1+0+0.5 =1.5)''':Benares (film)- Wikidata Item(1+0+0.5 =1.5)Please explain your thinking here. —Anomalocaris (talk)04:01, 11 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening sir. Please I am confused and need guidance and assistance. First of all, the instruction said that contestants for the BLT must become an editor at the Outreach Dashboard contest page to contest. Whenever I go to the page it is all blank and I don't see anything. Secondly, the instruction said that the articles must be a black artist who does not have a Wikipedia page. Does this group of artists also include singers, dancers or actors? Thirdly, I don't know how or where to click so that I can create the page or insert my article. Sir, I will be very glad and grateful if yoh respond sooner with a positive answer or feedback toball my questions. Thank you.— Precedingunsigned comment added byChinedum Maduemezia (talk •contribs)21:51, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you sir. I look forward to create and posting more articles and I am currently working on one.Chinedum Maduemezia (talk)16:28, 13 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi
I am sure you will realise that I have changed the page again.
I hope we can come to some agreement over this.
The issue is simple - nationality and ethnicity.
He is British, but he is not Nigerian.
He is British, and of Nigerian descent.
We can call that British Nigerian, that is fine.
THe problem is that using the hyphen turns it from ethnicity to a dual citizenship.
For example, if I held British and American citizenship, and British was my original, it would be British-American - and my nationality would be British/American.
If American was my original, it would be American-British - and my nationality would be American/British.
If I was only a British citizen, and of American descent, it could be written as British American - and my nationality would be ONLY British.
I hope this clears it all up :¬)Chaosdruid (talk)12:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

HelloJamie Tubers,
It seems the need arises to clarify previous"en masse" edits on the articles which were reverted perhaps unwittingly and in an attempt towards not seeking to tarry ennui between one and the other; for the sake of brevity to seek your edification on the subject matter and its dichotomous relationship with the"presidential order". As with most things, it is no addition to the body of knowledge for a student ofmodern Nigeria to come to the inherent realisation that our current dispensation with the advent of the rise of the nation-state in our affairs was most emphatically heralded by the doctrine ofmilitarization of politics. It is therefore safe to proceed on this same inclining that regardless of an attempt towardsnational republicanism and its tumultuous ramifications this stark distinction still exists, so much so thatten out of fifteen heads of state are ideologues of that doctrine; with the exception of two who ruled as titular military Presidents of Nigeria (Ibrahim Babangida andAbdulsalami Abubakar) the remaining eight reigned as titular Head of State of Nigeria and with the most recent example of two former heads of state (Olusegun Obasanjo andMuhammadu Buhari) going on to becomePresident of Nigeria in this century and further obscuring the order as it were since they ruled as heads of state in the earlier politico-military tradition and not as part of the"presidential order".
The edits as it were, therefore was not an attempt to ignorantly make changes without recourse as was ascribed to themin an earlier talk-page message but instead to reflect these distinctions as elaborated above. In all sincerity, the error one made was to in fact not reach out to thorough-bred editors like yourself on the subject instead of going oncarte-blanche.
Thanks,

We hereby want to officially welcome new volunteers who have recently joined the collaborative project and have volunteered to work inWP:NIGERIA. The arrival of new volunteers is often associated with the confusion of “what to do” on their part, it is then behoove of us to treat them with care, guide them, and protect them from the general pitfalls a new editor would most usually fall into. We are also admonished to clean up after them if they err and encourage them, most especially when they are genuine editors with potential to do good work not just for us, but for the community as a whole. Once more, we hereby thank all new editors who have volunteered to work here and hope they enjoy their stay here.

Hello. I saw that, there is something going on about my creation of articles. I created articles in the last year as well. I accept that, there are some spelling errors in the articles. Because, when I am writing the prose, there may be some errors. But they are not intentional. However, you are the head of the competition. So, before creating new articles, can I know about my status, whether you are going to disqualified me from the contest?

Thanks for uploadingFile:NECOM House.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim offair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails thefirst non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may haveno free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject,requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking onthis link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per thenon-free content policy.

| Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| InJuly 2015 around15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As ofJuly 2023,19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |

Hello Jamie Tubers,
I hope this message finds you well. I've noticed that your Talk page has grown quite extensive, with over 3100 lines, which is more than the lines of code used to send Apollo 11 to the moon! This is a testament to your active engagement on Wikipedia. However, I'd like to suggest considering archiving some of the older discussions, especially those dating back to 2020 or earlier.
Archiving can lead to several benefits, including:
If you're unsure about how to archive your Talk page, you can find detailed instructionshere. I'm also happy to assist if you need any help.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. Your contributions to Wikipedia are greatly valued, and I believe that archiving could make your Talk page even more effective as a tool for collaboration.
