I found a 404 on 5000 Q pages, because the data base was turned off,
it should have been fixed, but all they did was to deprecate the entry.
I contacted the 2 main creators, editors. the one told me not to talk to
her on
her page, or she would have me blocked and to put it on the wikidata
discussion
page which she did not go to to answer me, the other one contacted a bot
owner who
changed all the URL’s to the wayback URL.but when wayback took down some of
the
last entry's, and i tried to talk to that bot direct he refused to talk to
me.
this all makes me feel like a whistle-blower.

Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikidata now officially has more total
edits than English language Wikipedia
But...
bots are operated, written, and reviewed by real humans ? Like if I
spend 2
hours adding "painting by Vincent van Gogh" manually on every
relevant item
by hand, how is that more valuable than spending 20 minutes
to write a bot
that does that for me (and can be used for similar tasks)
?

Reminder: Technical Advice IRC meeting this week **Wednesday 3-4 pm UTC**
on #wikimedia-tech.
Questions can be asked in English and German!
The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for
volunteer developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are
available to help you with all your questions about Mediawiki, gadgets,
tools and more! This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who
would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project.
If you know already what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your
topic to the next meeting:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting
Hope to see you there!
Johanna (for the Technical Advice IRC Meeting crew)
Hello all,
Following a request from community members, we just deployed a new data
type called “Musical Notation” in order to store musical notation in
Wikidata. Property creators can now find this new data type in the list and
create new properties with it.
A property with musical notation data type will display the notation in
Lilypond <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q195946> format, using the score
extension <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Score>.
For example, if you enter this code as a value: \relative c' { c d e f | g2
g | a4 a a a | g1 |}, it will be displayed as a score:
[image: Screenshot musical notation Wikidata 1.png]
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_musical_notation_Wikidat…>
The score also appears on the diff pages.
[image: Screenshot musical notation Wikidata 2.png]
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Screenshot_musical_notation_Wikidat…>
The existing property LilyPond notation (P5482)
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5482> is used on around 300 items
<https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AWhatLinksHere&target=P…>.
If you need any help from the developers to change the datatype of the the
property or to migrate the content, please let me know.
One bug is already known and we’re working on fixing it: if the score is
long, it gets out of the statement box and overlaps with the edit button.
If you encounter any issue, feel free to create a subtask of this ticket
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208489>.
Cheers,

Dear all,
I would like to extract all links to "externalids" contained in a Wikidata
dump (the truthy ntriples version wikidata_latest-truthy.nt.bz2).
I thought I could trust the prefix
http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct-normalized, so I used the following
ripgrep command:
rg --search-zip -F "http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct-normalized"
wikidata_latest-truthy.nt.bz2 | pv > wikidata-extids.txt
But I get as a result a little less than 29.5 million lines. Pubmed and
DOI, which alone account for about 33 million statements, are not included.
So, I wonder if I understood correctly the meaning of "
http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct-normalized". Can someone give me an
explanation or a pointer?
Cheers,
Ettore Rizza
# Overview of the workshop
########################
Business Intelligence and Analytics (BI&A) and the related field of big
data analytics have become an important area of study for both
practitioners and researchers. This reflects the extent and importance of
data-related issues. Protecting this data and extracting value from it are
also challenges of great importance in the last years and for many years to
come.
The 1st International Workshop on Business Intelligence over Big Data
(BIoBD) workshop aims to gather researchers and practitioners around topics
interested in current issues related to BI&A and big data as well as issues
related to the protection and semantics of data. Original, unpublished
research papers are welcomed in the BIoBD workshop.
Authors are invited to submit their work under the form of either a long
paper exposing novel research works with preliminary results, or a short
vision paper outlining research issues for future work. Rejected papers
from ADBIS <https://adbis2019.um.si/> that match the workshop topics could
be resubmitted to BIoBD and will undergo the same review process as the
other submissions. Each submission will be reviewed by 3 members of the
program committee. The best papers presented at BIoBD will be invited for
publication in an international journal.
# Submission Guidelines
#####################
The page limit is 12 pages for full papers and 6 pages for vision papers
(in LNCS format). Excessively short submissions (3 pages or less) will not
be penalized. Latex submissions are highly encouraged. Nonetheless, papers
prepared in other word processing software are also welcome. Papers should
be submitted in PDF format via Easychair at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=biobd19
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=biobd19>
# Important dates
################
Paper submission: *May 17, 2019*
Acceptance notification: *June 10, 2019*
Camera-ready: *June 23, 2019*

I have noticed that some records in Wikidata are using a site
trismegistos.org to establish birth dates. This is giving some odd results!
An instance is here
https://m.wikidata.org/wiki/Q55088584
date of birth
1999
1 reference
reference URL http://www.trismegistos.org/editor/7726
named as Jill Harries

Is it possible to change this behavior?
[apologies if I am using lax terminology, or if this is not the best place
to ask]
Hello,
The graph result view of WQS
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/Wikidata_Query_…>
looks very well. Is its code freely available ?
Thank you,
