Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on a concept to improve the current editing situation
of Wikidata's data on a client (e.g. Wikipedia & co.) in colaboration with
Lydia Pintscher, in the scope of my Bachelor's thesis.
It would be very appreciated if you could add your input and comments to
the page below and pass this info to the other Wikis and their editors
since their input is crucial to this project.

Thanks!

I've been reading mostly the archives and the GitHub tickets so far, but
given the interest in the Primary Sources Tool maybe it's time I joined the
mailinglist ;-)
Following up on the discussions the last weeks I added two new features to
the backend:
1. for any request listing statements it is now possible to filter by
state, with the default being "unapproved"
For example, you can select 10 random statements that have been marked
"wrong" (i.e. rejected in the UI) with
curl -i "
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-primary-sources/statements/any?state=wro…
"
or retrieve all approved statements with
curl -i "
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-primary-sources/statements/all?state=app…
"
(NB: the /all endpoint is using paging, use the offset= and limit=
parameters to control how much is returned)
the different acceptable states are defined in
https://github.com/google/primarysources/blob/master/backend/Statement.h#L14
2. all statements that already had some form of interaction (e.g. have been
approved or rejected) now contain a new JSON field "activities" listing the
activities acting on the statement; even though usually there will be at
most one activity (i.e. approved or rejected), the system stores (and
already stored since we launched it) a complete history, e.g. for
transitions like unapproved -> wrong -> unapproved -> approved.
You can try it out by retrieving a random selection of statements in other
states than "unapproved", e.g. as before:
curl -i "
https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-primary-sources/statements/any?state=wro…
"
will give you results like:
{
"activities" : [
{
"state" : "wrong",
"timestamp" : "+2015-05-09T14:26:45Z/14",
"user" : "Hoo man"
}
]
,
"dataset" : "freebase",
"format" : "v1",
"id" : 31,
"state" : "wrong",
"statement" : "Q1702409\tP27\tQ145\tS854\t\"
http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Warren_Mitchell\"",
"upload" : 0
}
Hope it is useful ;-)
Otherwise let me know if you are interested in other analysis data. I'll
try adding features as time permits.
Cheers!

Hi Denny, Thomas,
I would like to thank you both for your support in making the StrepHit
soccer dataset available! I owe you some hectolitres of beer :-)
There is one thing that was mentioned during our summer discussions and
that I sadly forgot: shall the Freebase ontology mappings be added to
Wikidata?
If a Freebase endpoint still exists, it may make sense to proceed as per
the DBpedia mappings.
See for instance the "equivalent class" claim in Astronaut:
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q11631
Cheers!

Hey folks :)
Wikidata is turning 3 years old on October 29th. This is a reason to
celebrate for all of us. We'll be having a big party in Berlin and I'd
love to see as many of you there as possible.
You can find out more at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Third_Birthday/Party
We also have a few more things planned where I'd love to have videos,
images and other input from you. More on that on
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Third_Birthday/Party as well.
Cheers
Lydia

Hey everyone :)
We'll be doing the next Wikidata office hour on September 23rd at
17:00 UTC. See http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=17&min=00&sec=0&d…
for your timezone. We'll be meeting in #wikimedia-office on Freenode
IRC.
As usual I'll start with an overview of what's been happening around
Wikidata since the last office hour and then we'll have time for
questions and discussions.
If there is a particular topic you'd like to have on the agenda please
let me know.
Cheers
Lydia

I had to clean up this entity that had Sister City property filled in with
lots of erroneous statements for it that I removed.
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q185684
How can I figure out where the import went wrong, how it happened, and how
to ensure it doesn't happen again ? How does one look at Wikidata bots and
their efficiency or incorrectness ?
Trying to learn more,
Thad
