Hi all, I cordially invite you to donate some time and add an image from Wikimedia Commons to Wikidata this year. For inspiration you may choose one of the recent Wiki Loves Monuments prize winning photos from your local competition being added to the Wikidata item about that monument, one of your favorite paintings from your local museum being added to the Wikidata item about that painting, an image of christmas cookies that you made that you could add to an item about that type of cookie, or anything else that has an item but no image yet. To help you overcome the difficulties with editing on Wikidata, here is a short film by User:Jan_Ainali_(WMSE) on how to add an image to an item: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Add_image_to_Wikidata.webm Thanks, good luck and let's hope we see some structured data for Commons in 2016, Jane https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2015_winners https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Museums https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Christmas_cookies https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Commons

Hoi, Yes, the English Wikipedia allows for "fair use". Image with fair use are not permissible in Wikidata. There is no such thing as automatically it takes people to start a process and think it true. Thanks, GerardM On 22 December 2015 at 20:52, Tom Morris <tfmorris(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for those links! They're great to have and I love that world map. If you feel inspired, maybe you could also make a report for P1679 since I first thought your report for P1367 was for that one. On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 9:35 AM, Andrew Gray <andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk> wrote:

New subject: [Spam] Re: Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Thanks for the explanations. I'd forgotten that Wikipedia articles can link to random images that are only peripherally related to the subject of the article. The pointers to the tools are appreciated, since I think tooling is key to getting widespread participation in tasks like this, but I'd suggest that the tooling isn't quite "there" yet. The first tool, suggested by Lydia & Gerard, gave me a page of text in Swedish about someone I've never heard of and wanted me to say whether the photo was correct or not. Sorry, not playing that game (I don't read Swedish). The map is a good idea, but the current implementation isn't zoomable and the resolution is so coarse that it's basically a wild guess to get within 100km or so of a location. Why not have the default be "near me, sorted by distance from me" like the Special:Nearby page? And, as an aside, why does it use WDQ instead of the official query API? The list of monuments didn't have anything for my country or the closest neighboring country, so decided to take a look at the really cool photo of the Swallow's Nest <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BA_%22%D0%9B%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%87%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE_%D0%B3%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%BE%22,_%D0%AF%D0%BB%D1%82%D0%B0,_%D0%90%D0%A0_%D0%9A%D1%80%D1%8B%D0%BC.jpg> on the Crimean Peninsula. Turns out that the only article that links to it is the Ukranian article about the Crimean Peninsula and it isn't linked from the main Ukranian <https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9B%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%96%D0%B2%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B5_%D0%B3%D0%BD%D1%96%D0%B7%D0%B4%D0%BE> (or any other) article about it, so there's no easy path to the correct Wikidata item <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1353643>. That's just waaayyy too much work to expect someone to do. It wouldn't take much work on the tooling to significantly increase the rate of contribution for tasks like this.

New subject: [Spam] Re: Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Hi Tom, The map is a visualisation/access point to an existing tool, rather than a tool per se. It doesn't say "near me, sorted by distance" because, well, someone had announced special:nearby two days earlier, and that problem was solved! In fact, I came up with this in response to special:nearby, because I liked the idea of geographically-based worklists but was a bit constrained by being in a well-picked-over location. I wanted to be able to point at a general area I like or find interesting, but don't happen to be in, and work through the pictures in that way. Getting a rough map visualization out of it was a bonus. The resolution is deliberately kept coarse because even 1x1 degree boxes require 25,000 or more to cover the globe, and I didn't particularly want to have to hammer the API for a week each time it updated. Doing it in closer resolution for a specific country/region is something I'd like to do but haven't had time for. It's not zoomable and it doesn't use the SPARQL API because I don't know how to do either of those things and spending a few weeks learning them in order to do a Friday-evening toy project is not really what I want to spend my time on. In addition, as the WD-FIST tool itself uses WDQ, it makes sense to have the map be generated using the same queries. You're more than welcome to run with either aspect, though - there's a copy of the code behind it at http://www.generalist.org.uk/wikidata/geoscript if you can suffer through badly-commented shell scripts :-) A.

Is there a way or a program to concurrently add such CC photos in Monuments to Google Streetview(and thus also Maps and Earth), where end-users can also add photos, and eventually a plan to develop these into a CC virtual earth (that could also be film-realistic, 3D, group-buildable and interactive and with avatars, for example)? What's involved in coding such a tool? Season's greetings, Scott On Dec 24, 2015 5:28 PM, "Magnus Manske" <magnusmanske(a)googlemail.com> wrote:

Hi!

...

For example, this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Frost_House has a nice public domain photo that someone contributed back in 2010, but it's not referenced from Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7964895 Why couldn't these all be referenced automatically?

Many articles contain multiple images, which may or may not be the one we want to see as "main image" for the item. E.g. this article: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Battista_Schellino has a number of images, but none of them are suitable to be "image" for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3766751. So some human involvement is necessary. And, of course, there are copyright questions. Wikidata technically does not contain the images, only links to them, so it may or may not be important, but those links should be to Commons, and not every image in Wikipedia articles are from commons, some are local on wikis and can not be imported to Commons for various reasons. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev(a)wikimedia.org

Yes I agree with what Stas says, which is why I posted my invitation. Also, we have many more items without images on Wikidata than Wikipedia articles with images, so we also need illustrations for things that don't have a page on Wikipedia yet such as everyday items (cookie types), minor paintings, minor monuments, or minor politicians, etc. As far as fair-use images go you can't link to them with the P18 (image) property because that only points to Commons. I have in the past linked to a Matisse painting on the English Wikipedia with P973 (described at url) link. For people who are interested in linking WLM or other monument images, they may want to start with the handy nearby feature in Wikidata (left side of the screen).
