Hello,
I noticed there is a page on Wikidata for property proposals but is there
any page for property values proposal ?
For instance, I need to declare that Julien Collin [1]was a member of the
Union Régionaliste Bretonne[2] as "secrétaire-adjoint" but this function
is not listed in the drop menu of the qualifiers.
The "secrétaire" is a position held in a french voluntary association[3]
(association loi de 1901). The "secrétaire" is responsible for
administrative and legal tasks ("les tâches administratives et juridiques"
in French, since I am not sure of my english translation). He is not the
"chief" of the association, position held by the "président" (we have many
"présidents" in France, even for volontary associations). So this position
has nothing to do with a secretary as the secretary-general of the United
Nations. The "secrétaire-adjoint" is the assistant of the "secrétaire"
(the "secrétaire-adjoint" has nothing to do with a deputy secretary).
Thanks,

I'm thinking of possible ways to represent constraints as items (see [1]),
like those in: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P19
However some of these are not easy to translate into Wikidata proper. For
example:
<place of birth (P19)> Conflicts with <instance of (P31): criminal delict
(Q1456832)>
With the current tools it could be expressed as convolutely as wished for,
but it won't be compatible with the semantic web.
Of course it would be much nicer and compatible to implement OWL2 property
restrictions (some_values_from, all_values_from, none_of, etc) as snak
types which could be re-used for any property. Then it would be as easy as:
<place of birth (P19)>
property restriction [none of]
<instance of (P31): criminal delict (Q1456832)>
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Micru

Hi,
To get some test data for a script I want to export Q4115189 with
history. The Problem is, that the most recent revision I get from
Special:Export is from 2013-05-02T10:44:01Z, so I can't see the outcome
of test edits I make.
Am I using it it wrong, is the export page broken, or is there another
way to get something in the same format as the dumps with history?
best,
Lukas
Hi All,
I have joined the development team of the ProteinBoxBot (
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:ProteinBoxBot) . Our goal is to make
Wikidata the canonical resource for referencing and translating identifiers
for genes and proteins from different species.
Currently adding all genes from the human genome and their related
identifiers to Wikidata takes more then a month to complete. With the
objective to add other species, as well as having frequent updates for each
of the genomes, it would be convenient if we could increase this throughput.
Would it be accepted if we increase the throughput by running multiple
instances of ProteinBoxBot in parallel. If so, what would be an accepted
number of parallel instances of a bot to run? We can run multiple instances
from different geographical locations if necessary.
Kind regards,
Andra
Hi folks,
Here's a quick update on the Structured Data project, which proposes to make multimedia data easier to search, view, edit, curate and re-use on Wikimedia Commons.
Today, information about media files on Wikimedia sites is stored in unstructured formats that cause a range of issues: for example, file information is hard to search, some of it is only available in English, and it is difficult to edit or re-use files to comply with their license terms.
Last week, a first bootcamp was held in Berlin to discuss this project and explore possible solutions, based the same technology as the one developed for Wikidata. Participants included community volunteers, as well as the Wikidata and Multimedia teams. This blog post gives an overview of what was discussed and accomplished. (1)
Some good ideas came out from this event, but many questions remain unanswered. We would now like to invite more community members to help plan next steps for this project: everyone is welcome to join the discussion and/or subscribe to the newsletter on the new Structured data hub on Commons. (2)
We also invite you to join tomorrow's live IRC chat about Structured Data: this Thursday, October 16 at 18:00 (UTC), on #wikimedia-office (3). The development teams would love to discuss this project with you.
Going forward, our community liaison Keegan Peterzell will be managing communications for this project. You will be hearing from him about our next discussions and other ways you can get involved in this important initiative.
We look forward to working with you to better support the needs of our users and modernize our multimedia infrastructure together.
Best regards,
Fabrice -- for the Structured Data team

Hey :)
Our experience with the team of HPI students working on the entity
suggester was very good so we decided to take on another team of 6
students from there. I'm very happy about that. They'll be working
with us for 6 months. The overall topic they will be working on is
data quality and trust. It splits into 3 large areas:
* improving constraint violation reports and expanding them
* making it possible to check against 3rd party databases
* making referencing data more user friendly to encourage more references
That's what we have so far. More planning and brainstorming will
happen over the next weeks.
I started 2 pages. It'd be awesome if you could provide your input for
them on the current situations and what you'd like to see there:
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Referencing_improvements_input
* https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Constraint_violation_report_input
Cheers
Lydia

Hello all,
Recently Wikidata was changed which caused it much more work for especially
power users. It is no longer easy to add/change parts of pages. Each time I
now have to edit a section and save it before I can continue in another
section.
A simple adding of 4 pages results in much more clicks.
Was: click + paste + save + add + lang + paste + save
Now: edit + click + paste + scrolling + save (outside my screen) + edit +
add + lang + paste + save (on not expecting place)
And that four times...
This creates a much less efficient working situation.
That is not workable.
Can the previous situation be restored?
Or can someone write a gadget so that this change is bypassed?
Thanks!
Romaine
