Phase 1 (which we are currently finishing) is only about interwikis. Phase 2 will cover almost everything you can find in infoboxes today, including population data. -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler, Softwarearchitekt Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. | Eisenacher Straße 2 | 10777 Berlin http://wikimedia.de | Tel.

[Wikidata-l] Data copyright and licensing
by dr.cueppers.gmbh＠arcor.de 05 Aug '12

I don't see difficulties if is made sure, that two additional fields belong to every information in Wikidata: a license field and a citation field, with the regulation, that one of these must be filled, otherwise Wikidata does not accept this edit. Which of the both additional fields is filled, lies in the responsibility of the editor. In addition it must be provided, that it is impossible to take over any info without such - filled - additional field into any Wikipedia. dr.cueppers de:WP Dr. Cüppers GmbH Hübnerstraße 2 33104 Paderborn 05254 935700

[Wikidata-l] Data copyright and licensing
by Jan Kučera 05 Aug '12

Hi there, did anyone think of possible copyright restrictions on the use of external data within wikidata? I am not sure common public sources of data are usable right away... seems like copyright works the same with data as with any other "work"... Sure, many organizations throw data into public domain, but it definitely is not an industry standard yet. Kozuch

[Wikidata-l] Data about population
by Romaine Wiki 05 Aug '12

05 Aug '12

On http://wikidata-test-repo.wikimedia.de/wiki/ I saw mostly pages regarding interwiki's. Are there also examples about how the data for the population in certain area's is added/represented? A central project for (also) such data would be very welcome, so we can easily update this information. (This data is connected to identifiers by individual area.) I hope the project is aiming to make this easier too. Greetings - Romaine (nl-wiki, e.o.)

[Wikidata-l] Wikidata links
by Gregor Hagedorn 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

On https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Notes/URI_scheme#Proposal_for_Wiki… I am missing the arguments why Wikidata needs the multitude of URI forms. The list needs commenting and arguments why "URIs should be canonical within Wikimedia projects" is given up. ---- (Of lesser importance, I wonder why the internal opaque ID has to be prefixed by a letter (Q) - why not a simple number?) ---- At them moment I believe a choice should be made between: http://{site}.wikidata.org/wiki/{title} and http://wikidata.org/title/{site}:{title} but perhaps the argument why both are needed could be added. ---- On the issue of interlanguage/interwiki linking, I believe the semantics should not be opposite in Wikidata and Wikipedias, see my comment https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikidata/Notes/Wiki_links Gregor

[Wikidata-l] devs, we figured it out finally... \o/
by Lydia Pintscher 02 Aug '12

02 Aug '12

Heya folks :) We finally got our act together and figured out a way to better involve developers outside the team at Wikimedia Germany. So if you've been waiting for infos on what to code on in Wikidata here's good news for you. We'll file tasks and bugs in bugzilla and tag them with the keyword "need-volunteer". We have already added a few and more will follow. This doesn't mean you can't work on the rest but those are the ones we think are best to work on for now. Here's a search for all of the open ones: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=need-volunteer&keywords… If you start working on any of them please leave a note in the bug report so others know what's going on. Cheers and happy hacking Lydia PS: If you're not a developer but want to help please let me know and we'll figure things out together. -- Lydia Pintscher - http://about.me/lydia.pintscher Community Communications for Wikidata Wikimedia Deutschland e.V.

[Wikidata-l] on-wiki newsletter
by Lydia Pintscher 01 Aug '12

01 Aug '12

Heya folks :) One of the suggestions that came up at Wikimania was to have a newsletter for Wikidata. The idea is that people can sign up and then have important stuff posted to their user talk pages by a bot. Is anyone able to help me set this up?

[Wikidata-l] New client storyboards
by Katie Filbert 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

We have created an updated set of storyboards for adding and editing interlanguage wiki links on Wikipedia. These incorporate feedback we've gotten and are an attempt to simplify the process. I'm sure there are some further changes that could be done to improve it, especially in the scenario where a Wikipedia page includes interlanguage wiki links from both Wikidata and from the local wikitext. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Development/Storyboard_for_linking_… Please provide feedback. Cheers, Katie -- Katie Filbert Wikidata Developer Wikimedia Germany e.V. | NEW: Obentrautstr. 72 | 10963 Berlin Phone (030) 219 158 26-0 http://wikimedia.de Wikimedia Germany - Society for the Promotion of free knowledge eV Entered in the register of Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg under the number 23 855 as recognized as charitable by the Inland Revenue for corporations I Berlin, tax number 27/681/51985.
