Hi all,
We need to re-image our host wdqs1009.eqiad.wmnet, which is the test host
powering *query-service.wikidata.org <http://query-service.wikidata.org>*.
Service will be offline while we transfer its journal file (the wikidata
equivalent of the database) to another server, re-image the original
server, and then transfer it back. The whole procedure will begin around *18:00
UTC June 8* and will take a *few hours*.
This is only for query-preview.wikidata.org and not for query.wikidata.org.
There will be no interruption to normal WDQS operation.
We'll send another message to the Wikidata mailing list when the operation
begins.

Hi all,
I'm sorry for crossposting from commons-l, but from our experience, WCQS is
in the area of interest to Wikidata users.
Due to low disk space on the WCQS beta instance and possible data
corruption that might've happened because of it, we need to take down WCQS
beta and rebuild its journal - operation should take about 2 days -
starting now. I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
This is a recurring issue, but we have a permanent solution in the pipeline
on which we plan to start working on soon: [1].
We are using this downtime to introduce blank node skolemization to WCQS
Beta[1]. This change is a prerequisite on our future work on real time
updates for that service.

Dear all,
I'm a master's student currently working on my final dissertation on user interaction with Linked Data. Our goal is to create a set of design patterns to gather and document best practices on how to model user interaction with Linked Data.
After conducting interviews with Linked Data researchers and developers, we have come to a small set of user interaction patterns for Linked Data.
If you are someone who has experience or is interested in this field, and would like to participate, please fill this form (20min) about the adoption of these patterns and your opinions and thoughts on them: [https://forms.gle/qLjt6AETAkXb41v37](https://forms.gle/qLjt6AETAkXb41v37)
We apologize if this is of no interest to you! Any questions, feel free to send them to the following address: up201605904(a)edu.fe.up.pt
Best regards,
