Hi Sandra, Sjoerd and Wikidatans,
In what ways would it be possible to add particular place
qualifiers/claims/properties (incorporating Wikidata Geodata) to be linked
with new time claims you suggest such as seasons or quarters ... for
eventual use in an eventual film-realistic, 3D, interactive,
group-build-able wiki virtual earth?
Greetings, Scott

Hi Sandra,
For between dates, we have
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1319
(earliest date) and
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1326 (latest
date) as qualifiers. You can set the claim itself on century or whatever
then. You can also use P1326 for before dates, I think. Seasons is another
thing, I think we need a new property for that. Same for quarters.
But I agree, it should be great if this was integrated more. Showing
better suggestions before saving is another thing that could help.
Greetings,
Sjoerd

Hi folks,
I do lots of edits related to artworks. Many artworks (and, I assume, many
other things) are dated in the following ways:
1. 'between 1850 and 1899’ - on Wikidata that could be ’18. century’ (yep,
needs to be written like that) with qualifiers start date and end date ?
2. ‘between 1784 and 1787’ - on Wikidata ‘1780s’ with qualifiers?
3. ‘between 1878 and 1904 - on Wikidata... eeeehm?
I was wondering: can’t we express this without needing any qualifiers at
all?
We can enter units as ‘320 cm plus/minus 7 cm’, right?
Might we also be able to say ‘1898 plus/minus six years’?
I can imagine we’d then also have an interface that helps you enter a
‘between date x and date y’ elegantly without needing to do any math.
Or would that not be possible?
I think it would be great to have, as it would make our dating
conceptually much more accurate IMO.
Curious what others think.
Best, Sandra (User:Spinster)
p.s. On Commons we have an {{Other date}} template that’s used very
frequently, that allows rich time/date expressions, and that I really love.
Here’s the documentation:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Other_date
Besides this ‘between’ concept, it also has, among other things
* before (date) or after (date) - also very common!
* seasons - you can say ‘Spring 1986’
* first/last half/quarter (year, decade, century) etc
Some might not be translatable to a period as I suggested above, but some
may.
