[Wikidata-l] GSoC '14- Wikidata Web Annotator : Final Testing Phase, Bug and Imporvements
by Amanpreet Singh 15 Jul '14

15 Jul '14

Dear all, I have almost made everything ready for testing for the GSoC '14 project: Wikidata-Web-Annotator. I have setup the test site here <http://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-annotation-tool/WikidataAnnotationFeeder/…> . First login using OpenID to authenticate with the Pundit software. Try selecting some text, then use annotate text option, futher use Pundit's triple composer to compose triples using selectors and vocabularies retrieved from Wikidata. Subject and Object are to filled with Wikidata Items, while Predicates with properties. Check for notebooks(in Pundit notebooks are the containers for annotations) in right most corner of the plugin by clicking on your name > selecting manage notebooks. Notebooks must be public for push to work. Now after annotating use Push to Wikidata button as shown in the figure below This will open a new window where you can select which annotations are to be pushed. You must authenticate with Wikimedia before doing that as Wikidata is fed by using your Wikimedia username. After this select the annotations you want to push and the click on the 'Push annotations' button, status column will show you about the progress of the push. I have tested it but not completely. I have checked for most of the cases like: 1. If claim exists-> then try to push references only. 2. If not create claim -> then push references. These are just example of cases I have checked upon, there is much more. You all are welcome to test the Annotator so we can further move on to package it as plugin. Discuss the issues, bugs etc. Also test page may take time to load. Example page which has been fed with this annotator is https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2336535. In this item, claim for P277 has been wholly added with references via Annotator. While claim for P106 was already existing and I have added references to it via Annotator. Here is flowchart showing the workflow: For closer look check here http://www.gliffy.com/go/publish/5918718 Repository for all these can be found here 1. Main source including modified Pundit : https://github.com/apsdehal/WikidataAnnotationFeeder 2. Login and API handler: https://github.com/apsdehal/WAL 3. Middleware App: https://github.com/apsdehal/Bajo Please feel free to add issues or Pull requests there. Thanks -- Amanpreet Singh, IIT Roorkee http://apsdehal.in

[Wikidata-l] new GuidedTours at Wikidata:Tours
by Helen Halbert 12 Jul '14

12 Jul '14

Hi all, I am pleased to announce the release of two new GuidedTours—we now have interactive tutorials for editing items and for editing statements! Both tours are available from the Wikidata:Tours <http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours> portal. Go ahead and try them out, and please share with others who may be interested. Feedback can be left on the portal talk page at Wikidata_talk:Tours <http://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata_talk:Tours> —I'm also planning on conducting some user testing with people who are not already familiar with Wikidata. I'm very excited to see these live and would like to extend a large **thank you** to Bene* who worked with me to implement the tours! We have a few more tours planned and I really hope they'll be helpful for getting new users comfortable and confident with editing. cheers, Helen (aka Thepwnco)

[Wikidata-l] upcoming API change (wblinktitle)
by Lydia Pintscher 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hey folks :) Next week we will deploy an API change in preparation for support for Wikimedia Commons. wblinktitle will return a prefixed ID starting Tuesday night if there are no complications: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52732 This is necessary as Commons support will break the assumption that our identifiers are always of the form someletter+number like for example Q1234. Sorry for the disruption. If you need help with adapting your tools please let me know. Cheers Lydia PS: Jeroen forced me to attach a cat to this email so here you go: /\_/\ =( °w° )= ) ( // (__ __)// -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Time for some selfies!
by Lydia Pintscher 07 Jul '14

07 Jul '14

Hey folks! Wikimania is coming up and I need your help! I will be giving a keynote about Wikidata and would like to show the human side of our awesome project. Wikidata wouldn't be what it is without all of you and I see Wikimania not only as an opportunity to highlight all of the exciting software developments around Wikidata, but to also show off what an awesome, creative and diverse community we have here! To do this, I would like as many of you as possible to send me a photo of yourself - a selfie (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12068677) would be perfect. Bonus points if it either demonstrates a connection you have with Wikidata or includes the Wikidata logo somehow. You can be subtle and sneaky with the logo or go big and bold—the only limit is your creativity! All submissions should be licensed CC-BY and you must have the right to upload and use the image. Additionally it’d be awesome if you could send me a sentence or two about what Wikidata means to you. (Either use my user talk page or send me an email.) Submission deadline is July 20th. When you're ready, upload your file to Wikimedia Commons in the category “Wikidata selfies” (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikidata_selfies). Need some inspiration? Check the category. I’m sure we can be just as famous as the Oscar selfie: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2014/mar/07/oscars-selfie-most-retweeted-e… :P Cheers Lydia -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Product Manager for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata class browser update
by Markus Kroetzsch 04 Jul '14

04 Jul '14

Hi all, The Wikidata classes and properties browser [1] was just updated: * Much faster loading; thanks to Yaron improving Miga to make this possible. * The browser *with* classes is now the default since it is fast enough to be suitable for most. You might still want to use the property-only version [2] if you are on a mobile device or very old machine. It won't safe any bandwidth, just memory/CPU. * Images! Side effect is that the application may not be "safe for work" or may be offensive to users who object to depictions of Q58 etc. * Fresh data (fresh today). Feedback is welcome, as usual. Various known bugs remain (it's still a prototype after all). Thanks to Yaron for the improvements in Miga that enable the faster loading now. Cheers, Markus P.S. In case you wonder: I already removed the one instance of Q58 that the browser reports: an act of vandalism dating back several months. We really need to create more ways to look at the data so people will notice such things earlier. Q58 will still remain a class, since it has two legit subclasses in Wikidata.
