Hi everyone.
Thanks to Samwilson, we have know a pre-alpha tool that help us retrieve
metadata for books in Wikisource:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-search/?title=%25&author=&lang=it&…
it's in very early stage so please be kind and generous: (and also, if you
can, help :-)
The tool will hopefully help each community in deal with Wikidata import.
BUT:
today a discovered, with a bit of horror, that more than one year ago a
"rogue" wikidata editor imported thousands of pages (without properties!)
from Wikisources without even noticing the communities...
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:GZWDer#wikisource_mass_import
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:GZWDer#Stop_creating_items
I revived the last thread (second link) because I think this was not
helpful to us as communities. I don't think we can't fix it (there is also
the chance that he kind of helped us, if we now use the right tools): but,
still, I wanted to express my frustration in seeing this kind of action.
I wonder how the French Wikisource community solved it, for example.
