Dear all,
I've been working my way through Wikidata items of people listed as
authors of scientific articles for a while, as explained at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Women_scientists#M…
.
One of the issues beyond my capacity here is how to make sure the
gender of these people is properly recorded via P21. The current
backlog for that stands at over 1000 items [1], and in what I have
done so far, I did not see a way to take into account non-binary
gender scales.
Another issue is that even in those cases where P21 has been set,
there is often (even for highly cited scientists ) very little
additional information about these people, as highlighted by a related
query (for female authors) that also looks at occupation (P106) [2].
Any help in addressing the backlog for [1] or in filling the gaps in
relation to queries like [2] would be appreciated, both on an ad-hoc
basis and especially by way of more long-term workflows.
Thanks and cheers,
Daniel
