Dear Magnus,
What do you suggest we do in the meanwhile?
- Wait with the data ingestion process until the overhaul has been done? - Do you
have an idea when this could be the case?
- Ingest the data, providing the source without its “publication date”? – Do you
think it will be possible to add the “publication date” of the source at a later stage by
re-running the tool when it has been improved? Or is it better to leave out the source
altogether for the time being?
Cheers,
Beat

Subject: Re: [Wikidata] Quick Statements Tool: How to add publication date of sources
The tool is missing several functions, and requires a general overhaul/rewrite.
Haven't gotten around to it.

Hi,
I’ve recently tried in vain to add a “publication date” qualifier to a reference, using
the Quick Statements Tool. I’ve posted the issue on Magnus’ Talk Page, but haven’t gotten
any response so far:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Magnus_Manske#Quick_Statements_Tool…
Does anyone know how to do this? Or can you suggest any other tools, work arounds etc. to
properly add the source, including the publication date, in the course of a larger data
ingestion job?
I’m not a software programmer; thus low-threshold tools or newbie-proof instructions would
be appreciated. ;-)
Cheers,
Beat
