Hoi,
As you know all articles about the same subject are connected on Wikidata.
Regularly I add information about members of the Lok Sabha and the Vidhan
Sabha on Wikidata. The most prevalent reason for me is for someone to die.
When I notice that he or she was a member of one of those parliaments I add
this fact typically on the basis of the category that indicates this. At
the same time I add information for all the members of that parliament in
Wikidata.
Because of this mail I did this for Maharashtra, Himachal and Uttarkhand.
When the Hindi, Punjabi or Marathi Wikipedia have categories that include
the members of a parliament, it is fairly easy to add all the humans who
are mentioned in this category.. Human in the sense of Wikidata.. There is
no secret sauce; I use Autolist2 to do this and, I have documented my way
of working [1].
What would be good is to copy the data that is currently in Excel
spreadsheets into Wikidata. It makes that information available for
everyone. It will show up in the Reasonator. This [2] is the category for
the Uttarkhand parliamentarians for instance.. only 17 of them at this time.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hello.
At Hindi wiki, we started a project on Indian Elections-[[:hi:वि:विभाचु]].
we are systematically creating all lok sabha n vidhan sabha pages. we are
collecting data and arranging them systematically in excel sheets. Excel
Sheets and AWB scripts are placed at project page (in both english n
hindi). We wish all language would take benefit from work done by us.
Punjabi wiki has also joined us and already helped us in return too. we
wish all wikis could run this project and prepare Excel Data n AWB Script
for each region and share with each other. e.g. for upcoming Maharashtra
Elections Marathi Wiki may take the lead.
Presently complete data is available at hiwiki for Himachal and
Uttarakhand assemblies. I checked and found that these pages are not yet
available even on English wiki. (at last n at least, something where hiwiki
has taken lead :-) ). Anyone having AWB rights on enwiki may please take
this foward.
I hereby once again invite all to participate in this project. Also, on
hiwiki, the main person who stared this project is a little inactive
presently. I would be thankful if anyone of you can help us on Hindi Wiki
also.
Thanks and Regards.
Manoj Khurana.
