Hi!
Starting last Tuesday, I've been getting a persistent error running the runUpdate.sh script from the Wikidata stand-alone facility.
Example:
06:34:20.402 [update 6] WARN org.wikidata.query.rdf.tool.Update - Contained error syncing. Giving up on Q13873706
org.wikidata.query.rdf.tool.exception.ContainedException: Unexpected status code fetching RDF for https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Special:EntityData/Q13873706.ttl?nocache=14975...: 429
Hmm 429 is "too many requests". Looks like some issue on wikidata side, not sure why - I can access that URL just fine. Updater can't do much if Wikidata refuses to talk to it, so if this keeps happening I'd ask on Ops channel why it may be happening.
