hi,
i am not even sure if i use the right vocabulary here, but is there
some "schema" for claims or statements of a libraries collection? i
wanted to add a type, and ended up linking it to "collection". the
translation then revealed that it is from horses dressage
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2567666 - wickiana , which is not
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q361873 - such a collection
i am a little confused. how would i best find that i should have set
the type to "collection (museum)" (if one takes the english language
article title), and how i am expected to find or add properties to a
that type?

I've been struggling to understand what should go into wikidata and what
should not. I see that this is because it hasn't been decided yet ;)
http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Notability
In helping the community to make this decision I think it would be really
helpful for the developers to weigh in on the technical capacity of the
envisioned/realized wikidata infrastructure. If we know how big the system
could realistically be and continue to work well technically, it might help
discussions about how much and what kind of content we should put into it.
If the plan is to cope with only a few tens of millions of subjects that
is quite different than if the plan allows for the potential creation of
billions of items. (Suggesting less inclusive versus more inclusive
policies).

hi,
at wmch there is a small pilot with zentralbibliothek to upload images
to commons, the first scans around wickiana. one goal was to see in
how many languages this is translated after a while, starting from 3.
today there was a translation into indinesian, and emmanuel entered
the link(s) into wikidata. for me the indonesian link does only show
up in the german version, not in the italian, or english version:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickiana
what could be the reason for it?

Hello,
First, congratulation for all the already achieved great work on the
wikidata project.
Now I would be interested to know more about future development,
especially on interactions with wiktionaries.
I think wikidata could help to improve wiktionaries drastically, by
unifying not only interlangs links, but also definitions and
translations.
More accurately what I mean is that currently you often have, attached
to one wiki article you have usually several definitions for each
language where the word is used. But often when I seek a non-french word
in the french wiktionary, looking at the native wiktionary will bring
more definition than what you can find on the french article.
I saw that on the english wiktionary, the interface added a "quick add"
feature, which ask user to fill translation for each meaning. That's
great and I wish it would be added in all chapters. And I think that we
could add even more "hey, what about translating just this little thing"
feature across all dictionary by centralizing entries, so that each
"word" is associated with one or several meaning by language. Then all
meanings could be redistributed to all wiktionnaries, even when no
translation is available for a given meaning in the local chapter. In
this cas we could have an information box that would say "this word have
an other meaning which wasn't yet translated in ${local_language}, if
you one of the language in which a translation is available, please help
us to improve the wiktionary".
What do think about such a project, could it work with wikidata?
kind regards,
mathieu
Hello, I'm trying to add "fr, lucidité" to Q1743823, but I get the
error :
Edit not allowed: Le lien du site [[frwiki:Lucidité]] est déjà utilisé
par l'objet [[Q3265229]].
And that's right, but it seems like a doublet. How do you merge
"articles"? It would improve UX if the error message would provide
information/link to an help page which explains what to do in such a
case.
kind regards,
mathieu
Hi all!
Since Wikidata is going to be implemented on every Wikimedia's project,
in accordance to this (quick) rfc
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Wikidata_rollout_and_i…
interwikibots that are still adding interwikilinks to any wikipedia
language project will be temporary disabled by stewards. Owners will be
able to re-enable their bots simply asking on
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/SRG or on the irc.
Have a nice day!

I just created three properties but my Internet connection died before I could update the list of properties page and my smartphone (using to write this) is terrible for editing. Could someone make sure that the list page is updated.
Thanks,

Heya :)
We've just finished the deployment of phase 1 on all 282 remaining
Wikipedia. Wohooooo! Blog post for that is here
http://blog.wikimedia.de/?p=14333
We have also deployed new code here including a lot of bugfixes,
localization updates and a new data type: string. It is supposed to
mainly be used for things like ISBN and similar identifiers.
Some of the other bugfixes/changes you might care about:
* improved diff view
* fixed issue with ZWNJ (https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45111)
* improved the item view to better handle deleted properties
Please let me know if there are any questions or problems.
Cheers
Lydia
