The second part is fun to do. It's a nice puzzle to solve :-) You need a bit of python knowledge, a toolserver account and some time. Maarten Op 28 mrt 2012 om 23:42 heeft Alexander Wagner <alexander.wagner(a)wikipedia.at

English lists are currently filled with IDs. There are two problems though. To explain them, let me call "lists" the Wikipedia lists like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cultural_property_of_national_signific… this one, and "database" the pages Maarten compiled (like http://toolserver.org/~multichill/temp/queries/erfgoed/KGS_nr_to_add_en.txt this one). Until yesterday, the database was daily updated, and the items which had their numbers in the lists were removed. Consequently, only problematic objects should have stayed in the database in the end. (Right now, the English database is blank, but I hope this is just a glitch, since we still need it). 1. Some items in the lists have duplicate or multiple numbers (IDs) in the database. They are either really duplicate, or for instance the building contains a museum, both are protected and have the different ID, but physically this is of course still the same building. The record is six IDs for the same object, this is more like an exception, but two and three are common. Note that all duplicate items are still on the database: Maarten's bot only recognizes one ID per object (presumably, the first one). I put all the ID in the lists. However, this might be not such a good idea generally, since the uploaders will take the IDs from the lists, and if they code pictures of the same building with two different IDs, Maarten's bot could have trouble identifying them. If this is indeed a problem, we need to only keep one ID per object AND make sure that this one ID per object is the same on English, German, French, and potentially all other Wikipedia's which have lists. All ideas on how to best organize this are welcome. 2. There were several items in the database which were not on the lists, and I could not reasonably identify them with any objects in the lists (I tried really hard). There are not so many of them, may be couple of dozens for the whole country. On couple of occasions, I was sure they are just plainly forgotten, and add them (they are easy to spot since they have no coordinates). However, the remaining items, which are still in the database, require an expert attention. They may be just lost for whatever reason. Cheers Yaroslav
