Apologies if the has been asked before.
Is there a way I can get a dump of media items in wikidata or wikimedia
commons
Basically I'm looking for a list of *.png|jpg type files that occur in wiki
type sites
Any pointers would be appreciated!
Perhaps of interest also to a few Maps, Mobile or Wikidata folks.

I was updating the biological databases in wikidata when I encountered
cases where the official website was already added but did not show up on
the SPARQL endpoint.
For example the following query:
http://alturl.com/vrckp
Mentions that:
<http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24174701>wd:Q24174701
<http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q24174701> MetaboLights
Has no official website entry. However this entry was added by someone
at 12:27, 20 May 2016.
(1,196 bytes) (+374) . . (Created claim: official website (P856):
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/) (undo | thank)
As far as I can tell from previous experience the sync happens more or less
spontaneously. However this is currently not the case. Is anyone aware of
this issue?
Kind regards,
Jasper Koehorst
Dear Wikidata developers and contributors,
I see that it is currently not possible to run federated queries from
wikidata to other sparql endpoints. I understand why you are not
allowing this in the general case. However, it would be nice to allow
this in the special case.
Would a patch allowing limited known remote sparql endpoints to
org.wikidata.query.rdf.blazegraph.WikibaseContextListener
be possible?
Regards,
Jerven Bolleman

Dear Wikidata,
The reason of my email is that we're writing a book, called Social Design
Cookbook, about collaborative projects including Wikidata. We also have
made an interview with Markus Kroetzsch a year ago.
I would like to kindly ask you to send us some pictures that capture the
spirit of Wikidata for the book (including the name of the photographer). I
would be very thankful if you could send high-quality, royalty and licence
free pictures about the participants or the process itself to present them
in the book.
Thank you very much in advance,
Kind regards,
Lili
Hello,
I stored in a database about writers in breton language the wikidata
item ID associated to those writers (for instance, Q1391034 for Théodore
Hersart de La Villemarqué). Is there a property in a RDF ontology to
designate a Wikidata item ID (or should I say entity ID ?) ? So that I
could expose my data in RDF with triplets like:
mydata:writer/561 a efrbroo:F10_Person ;
wd:????? Q1391034.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am writing to get some feedback on an IGE grant proposal
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym…>
I
submitted to Wikimedia that might be of interest to the Wikidata community
as it aims at building a database from Wiktionary data.
More specifically the aim of the project is to develop an interactive
visualization for etymological relationships using dbnary's
extraction-framework (for Wiktionary)
http://kaiko.getalp.org/about-dbnary/
The data behind the visualization will consist of an RDF database of
Wiktionary data (definition, part of speech, synonyms, etc) built using
dbnary and a database of etymological relationships built using a custom
code (to be integrated into dbnary) that translates Wiktionary textual
etymology into a graph database of etymological relationships.
A demo of my interactive visualization *etytree* is available here:
http://www.epantaleo.com/2015/12/01/etymology-tree/
The visualization will present - in one graph - the etymology of all words
deriving from the same ancestor. Users can expand/collapse the tree to
visualize what they are interested in. The textual part attached to the
graph can be easily translated in any language and the app would become a
multilingual resource.
I am writing to the Wikidata community because I would like to know if the
Wikidata community thinks Wikidata could host this data. This project could
help integrate dbnary into a Wikimedia environment and create a database
from Wiktionary. In particular, the database of etymological relationships
will be available for the community and can be used as a resource to study
the history of languages, how pronunciation evolved through time, and
eventually how semantics evolved through time.
The link to the grant proposal is
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive_etym…
Feedback is very welcome on the grant proposal page or on the talk page of
the grant
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants_talk:IEG/A_graphical_and_interactive…
Looking forward to read your comments.
Thanks a lot!
