Several ideas in there relate to Wikidata extraction/mapping. Wikidata
bot owners might be interested in applying, for instance.

Oggetto: [Wiktionary-l] DBpedia @ GSoC14 deadline is approaching
Data: Tue, 18 Mar 2014 22:23:19 +0100
Mittente: Sebastian Hellmann
Dear all,
The GSoC deadline is in three days (March 21st) [1] and there is still
time to apply.
The DBpedia GSoC students are quite active this year too [2] but we can
certainly handle more :)
Please forward our ideas page [3] to students (Bachelor, master or PhD)
working on Semantic Web & Linked Data.
Best regards,
Sebastian and Dimitris

Hello Lane,
yes, I am interested in joining a discussion about citation structure
and use of it in wikidata,
but I am not the right person who can say something about the future
of citations and Wikidata (except my wishes on this topic).
This weekend I tried to make a citation/source for the point in time
of blindness of Johann Sebastian Bach on Wikidata.
The point in time can be seen then on the Reasonator
(http://tools.wmflabs.org/reasonator/?q=Q1339),
the source is not displayed there but can be found in
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1339
(statement - medical condition – blindness – 1750 – source – stated in
The Eyes of Johann Sebastian Bach https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15947415).
The author has to be an own wikidata item: Richard H.C. Zegers
(https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15948328).
The citation I made in Wikidata does exist also in the German Wikipedia about „Starstich“
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starstich.
So the next logical step would be, that this citation could be used in the German Wikipedia
with linking it to Wikidata (and in every other wikipedia, etc. of course).
If this is already possible, and how – I don´t know,
but I am interested in it and I would like to join the discussion.
Sincerely yours,
Edgar

Hello.
Is there anyone here who would like to join a discussion on English
Wikipedia about citation structure? Some of us at WikiProject Medicine
would like to meet anyone in the Wikidata community who could say something
about the future of citations and Wikidata.
At WikiProject Medicine we coordinate translation and reuse a lot of
citations, and also do more review of sources than most other Wikimedia
communities. Because of this, we are talking about deprecating
template:cite PMID, template cite doi, and by extension Citation bot. While
the problems people are experiencing are serious, I had the idea that
Wikidata would eventually address a lot of citation problems but I do not
know when that would be. If no one has plans then we at WikiProject
Medicine will work for a quick solution now, but if there are plans, we
would like to hear thoughts from anyone thinking about this.

Thanks to anyone who can comment, even if just to say that you know nothing
about this and know no one working on Wikidata citations. We just wanted to
seek feedback before we made great changes.
yours,

Hi,
I have started writing some thoughts about a possible interaction between
VE and WD.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Micru/Interaction_of_VisualEditor_with_W…
I assumed the following requirements:
- link/unlink any template field to WD from VE
- edit WD data from VE
There are so many questions open...
Cheers,
Micru
Hey everyone,
Since some time now ranks are available. They are meant as a way to
help manage the vast amount of information in Wikidata and make sense
of them. One important point is to be able to "hide" old and wrong
information using the normal and deprecated ranks. This allows us to
for example only show the current leader of a country when asked for
it instead of all the ones that have had this title at some point in
the past. We want to move forward with making use of this now. This
means a few things in particular:
* The property parser function {{#property:P123}} will be changed to
only return preferred values if they are available. If none are
available then the normal ones will be returned.
* Lua will be adapted to also by default only return preferred values
if available and otherwise normal values.
* Simple queries (like "give me the item with ISBN 12345678) will only
return items with the value marked as preferred if available and
otherwise normal values.
* Complex queries will only return items with the values marked as
preferred (and if not available normal) initially. Later all can be
searched for explicitly as well but by default still only items with
the values marked as preferred (and if not available normal) will be
returned.
This in essence means that people will need to start marking values as
preferred and deprecated where appropriate. This change will happen
within the next weeks. I don't yet know exactly when the code change
will be ready.
Onwards to a Wikidata that can meaningfully work with historical information \o/
Cheers
Lydia

Hi all and apologies for cross-posting if you're on the wikitech list,
My name is Helen Halbert and I'm applying for the Outreach Program for
Women in free and open source software <https://gnome.org/opw/>. I'm hoping
to complete an internship with Wikimedia, specifically working in Wikidata
outreach with Lydia Pintscher as my mentor.
A draft of my application can be found here to the program:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Feed_the_Gnomes_-_Wikidata_Outreach
A direct link to the full proposal for my Wikidata outreach project is
here:
http://docs.google.com/document/d/1Xz_2Biohj9yZHzfZKDq004yJcC2Rg6mA8LlvnRMx…
Feedback from the Wikidata community is more than welcome and very much
encouraged - I can't promise that I will be able to reply or respond in
turn before submission this Wednesday (March 19) but will do my best. Feel
free to comment within the Google doc proposal, e-mail me off list, or
catch me on my talk page (I am user
thepwnco<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Thepwnco>
)
much thanks for your time and consideration.
cheers,
Helen
Hi,
Since a few weeks now, no daily dumps have been published for Wikidata.
Only empty directories are created every day. I could not find a related
email on any list I scanned. Can anybody clarify what the situation is now?
Cheers,
Markus
