I found a 404 on 5000 Q pages, because the data base was turned off,   it should have been fixed, but all they did was to deprecate the entry.   I contacted the 2 main creators, editors. the one told me not to talk to her on   her page, or she would have me blocked and to put it on the wikidata discussion   page which she did not go to to answer me, the other one contacted a bot owner who   changed all the URL’s to the wayback URL.but when wayback took down some of the   last entry's, and i tried to talk to that bot direct he refused to talk to me.   this all makes me feel like a whistle-blower.   SEE: [Wikitech-l] Question to WMF: Backlog on bugs       From: Caroline Becker Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2019 4:51 AM To: Wikimedia Mailing List Subject: Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikidata now officially has more total edits than English language Wikipedia   But... bots are operated, written, and reviewed by real humans ? Like if I spend 2 hours adding "painting by Vincent van Gogh" manually on every relevant item by hand, how is that more valuable than spending 20 minutes to write a bot that does that for me (and can be used for similar tasks) ?

On the other hand, the activity of the bots Wikipedia has almost always been lower than the activity of contributors, and that activity has always been well below that registered contributors. There was one exception, in 2013 where there was a spike of bot activity. of edits per contributor which Wikipedia and 1,200 on Wikidata estimated edits done by bots). Quite Wikimedia projects rely on the community to police and curate content of these encyclopedias and data collections. I am therefore a bit wary of what is happening with Wikidata where more edits are still being done by bots than by real humans (by "real" I mean "real" not like "real" as in the TV series "real humans") > > Best regards Gabe < > olaniyanshola15(a)gmail.com > > wrote: > > This is a good news. > > > > Cheers!!! > > > Olaniyan Olushola > > CEO DataAccess Systems Ltd > President, Wikimedia Nigeria Foundation) > > Co-director Wiki Women Radio > > www.wikimedia.org.ng > > shola(a)wikimedia.org.ng > > olaniyanshola15(a)gmail.com > > +2348167352512 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Wed, Mar 20, 2019, 08:52 Ziko van Dijk < zvandijk(a)gmail.com wrote: Glenn, all know that happens quicker than reasons.
