I think a complete deprecated statement should look like this : Rank: Deprecated Value: <some value> Qualifier: P2241:reason for deprecation + <some reason> References * P248:Stated in (or any other property for a reference) --> a reference where the value is true (explaining why we added it) Value: <name of the reference> + any additional qualifiers * P1310:statement disputed by --> a reference explaining why the claim is deprecated Value: <name of the reference> + any additional qualifiers JL aka Melderick

Community Communication for Wikidata
by Léa Lacroix 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello everybody, I’m Léa, I’m working at Wikimedia Deutschland since today as community communication manager for Wikidata :) We may already met on the Wikimedia projects with my personal account, Auregann <https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisatrice:Auregann>. I contribute on French Wikipedia, where I used to participate in the newcomers welcoming project, add a few pictures on Commons, and I’m an active member of the local user group laNCO <https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Rencontres/Ouest/Non-Cabale_de…>, in which I organized a lots of community events, training sessions and GLAM partnerships since 2011. I used to work in IT, web development, on a local open data program, then I’ve been an IT trainer in libraries for three years. I started my position at WMDE to support Lydia on the community communication on Wikidata, and some projects of improving the Wikimedia projects with Wikidata data : I will also support all the structured data efforts for Wikipedia, Commons, Wiktionnary… I’m here to discuss with volunteers who edit the projects, welcome your ideas and suggestions, help to find solutions to your problems and make sure that we can work together to improve our projects and keep editing our favorite knowledge base in a nice atmosphere :) I will begin by discovering the working processes on Wikidata, chatting with you and helping Lydia to answer to the technical questions <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Contact_the_development_team>. I’ll also work on upcoming topics such as reviewing our communication tools, getting the improved showcase items selection process going, and organizing something cool for Wikidata’s 4th anniversary :) If you have any question, suggestion or idea, my talk page <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Lea_Lacroix_(WMDE)> is wide open and I will answer you as soon as I can. If you think that my advice could be useful or if you want to inform me about a discussion happening somewhere, feel free to ping me. You can also send me an e-mail or reach me on IRC (Lea_Auregann_WMDE). I’m very happy to join the team and look forward to working with you on all your projects! Bests, Léa

(Ab)use of "deprecated"
by Markus Kroetzsch 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Dear all, As you may know, statements in Wikidata can be marked as "preferred" or "deprecated" to distinguish them from the "normal" ones. I found that many items have perfectly valid historical statements marked as "deprecated". For example, our showcase item "Kleinmachnow" https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q104192 has a statement "population: 20,086 (point in time: 2011)" that is confirmed by a reference. Nevertheless, the statement is marked as "deprecated". This would mean that the statement "the popluation was 20,086 in 2011" is wrong. As far as I can tell, this is not the case. It seems that somebody wanted to indicate that this old population is no longer current. This is achieved not by deprecating the old value, but by setting another (newer) value as "preferred". Similar problems occur for the mayor of this town. I hope there is no deeper confusion in the community regarding this intended use of "preferred" and "deprecated". Most other items are using it correctly, it seems. The fact that it occurs in a showcase item is still making me a bit concerned.

ArticlePlaceholder is now live on Welsh and Kannada Wikipedia
by Lydia Pintscher 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hey folks :) Just a quick note that we have now rolled out the ArticlePlaceholder on Welsh and Kannada Wikipedia as well. Both project had requested it. Here are 2 example pages: * https://kn.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B2%B5%E0%B2%BF%E0%B2%B6%E0%B3%87%E0%B2%B7… * https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbennig:AboutTopic/Q2673 We are continuing to work on improving it based on the feedback we've gotten so far from the projects that already have it. This includes layout fixes, making it possible to translate an article from another language using the ContentTranslation tool and getting them to show up in search engine results.

Controversy around Wikimania talks
by Gerard Meijssen 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hoi. Many items were created for Wikimania talks. They were created because Wikimania talks represent the best practices of the Wikimedia projects. All these talks were selected in a process to bring out the best our movement has to offer in the many years Wikimania was held. All the persons who gave these presentation are known by either their nick or their name as they themselves identified them at the time of offering the presentation for consideration/ For whatever reasons a Wikidata admin removed these items without any discussion. In the discussion that followed other people presented the arguments why there are no valid arguments for this deletion. A request was made repeatedly to undelete the items involved. Given the current state of affair there is little option but to recreate these items. It must be noted that the current situation is problematic on many levels. Among them it became clear that admins do as they wish and are not held accountable for their actions. The only thing asked is for the undeletion of items and some sober thought on what may be expected of a Wikidata admin. Thanks, GerardM

Render sparql queries using the Histropedia timeline engine
by Navino Evans 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hi all, At long last, we’re delighted to announce you can now render sparql queries using the Histropedia timeline engine \o/ Histropedia WikidataQuery Viewer <http://histropedia.com/showcase/wikidata-viewer.html> Unlike the main Histropedia site this tool renders timelines with data directly from live Wikidata queries. It lets you map query variables to values used to render the timeline. A few notable extra features compared with the built in timeline view on the Wikidata query service: *Precision* - You can render each event according to the precision of the date (as long as you add date precision to your query). It will default to day precision if you leave this out. *Rank *– The events on the timeline have a rank defined by the order of your sparql query results. You can also choose a query variable to use for rank, but it’s not really needed if you use ORDER BY in your query to control the order of results. Higher ranked events are placed more prominently on the timeline. *URL* – You can choose whichever URL you like from your query results, which will be opened in a new tab when you double click on an event on the timeline. *Automatic colour code / filter* – You can choose any variable in your sparql query to use for colour coding and filtering. From what I could tell from the preview, this seems to be the same as the new map layers feature that is close to launch on the Wikidata Query service (which looks awesome by the way!) Also similar to the ‘group by property’ feature on Magnus’ Listeria tool, but using an arbitrary variable from the sparql results instead of a Wikidata property. *Some cool examples:* Note: click on the droplet icon (top right) to see the colour code key and filter options - Discoveries about planetary systems, colour coded by type of object <http://tinyurl.com/zlqupz9> (only items with an image and discoverer) - Who's birthday is today? colour coded by country of citizenship <http://tinyurl.com/hla7nqb> - Oil paintings at the Louvre, colour coded by creator <http://tinyurl.com/zu7cygv> - Descendants of Alfred the Great, colour coded by religion, in Japanese <http://tinyurl.com/h75utbg> – Note: select ‘no value’ in the filter panel for a fun edit list of people missing religion statement :) More examples on a dropdown list from the query input page <http://www.histropedia.com/showcase/wikidata-viewer.html> in the tool. The tool has been created by myself and fellow Histropedia co-founder Sean using our newly released JavaScript library. We are only just learning to code, and it’s a very early stage app so please let me know if anything breaks! You can find more info on the JS library (called HistropediaJS) on this announcement from the Histropedia mailing list <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!topic/…> Cheers!
