ME project tagging

Salut! I just noticed you removed your tag from a redirect at Amon Anwar. For your information, even for redirects you can add "class=redirect" in the template and still tag the page. We're nevertheless watching these pages so feel free to tag them all. De728631 (talk) 15:33, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

English

The quality of your English is good enough for me to understand. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Standard Written English should not be a difficult language for an educated French-speaker to learn. The grammar of English is not complex, because it has lost nearly all of its inflection, and about one-third of English words came from French. I didn't have a problem with your English.

Disambiguation link notification for August 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Bryce Pinkham, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Person of Interest. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikidata

Hi,

I am contacting you on behalf of Wikipedia:Projekt Fredrika, you met my colleague Kaj User:Cogitato at the Wikimania conference in Stockholm. Together with the Finnish national broadcasting company Yle, Projekt Fredrika is currently looking into how Wikidata could link to Yle's articles the way they now do with The Guardian. (I.e. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P3106 and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22686) Kaj told me that you have a lot of insight and experience when it comes to Wikidata and asked me to reach out to you and ask what would be the best way to proceed? Yle is already using Wikidata tags to tag their content.

Kind regards Lina Fredrika (talk) 07:46, 10 September 2019 (UTC)

@Lina Fredrika: hi! Sorry to answer a little late, I'm both back at work and with Internet troubles at home. The easiest way would be to create a new Wikidata property of external identifier, which can be asked here. However to be able to create this property, the identifier on Yle's side should be: stable (not changing overtime) and the subject of it clearly delimited (so we can make the link on Wikidata). It's even better if the identifier is part of an URL, because then we can make the property generate the links. In all cases, the discussion must happen on the page I linked just above. have a good day! --Harmonia Amanda (talk) 06:22, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me and absolutely no worries, I think this was a very quick response! We have a meeting with Yle next week, so it is great to have this information to pass on to them. Hopefully you will get the Internet at home sorted out, it's so difficult to do anything these days without a working connectio :) Lina Fredrika (talk) 11:12, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Harmonia Amanda! We will meet with Yle tomorrow. We have iterated the needs in quite a lot of detail already, and have boiled our questions down to four, in decreasing order of importance:

1. Can "Svenska Yle" https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3431760, which publishes in Swedish independently from the Finnish parts of Yle and which has a constant starting url of svenska.yle.fi, already ask for their own property "Svenska Yle topic ID" (like Guardian's P3106)? The Finnish parts of Yle https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q54718 currently still have two URLs and would do the same application for their own property, once they have concluded their ongoing process of merging the two URLs (where some URLs may change in the process, but will be redirected with http code 301).

2. Once the new property "Svenska Yle topic ID" is in place, is there a widget or tool which simplifies the bulk updating of many Wikidata entries at once where the new-property of those entries is updated to the corresponding internal Yle ID? I.e. to do bulk updates of things like pointing https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6348774 to have a "Svenska Yle topic ID" of https://svenska.yle.fi/term/yle/18-81972 (If not, it is hardly difficult to write a bot that does it, but why reinvent existing wheels).

3. What is the Wikidata desired policy on mapping individual articles onto Wikidata? I made a joyful Sparql query which gave as a result that there are over 200.000 instances of News article https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5707594 but only 29 of them are published by The Guardian. There did not seem to be much logic ("notability criteria") behind which articles are in Wikidata and which are not. In Stockholm you gave the example of an article on Dreyfus by Emile Zola definitely being notable enough, but the minimum requirements on notability do not seem to exist. Finland's biggest newspaper Helsingin Sanomat https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q366921 had three articles, all of which obituaries on little know people. Concrete question: If Yle creates a policy by which to begin with a couple of hundred articles would get Wikidata Q codes as a test balloon, would you oppose it?

4. How do we identify whether we should use article https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q191067 or news article https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5707594 - do we just look at examples of how they are used, or are definitions stored somewhere? Cogitato (talk) 11:59, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi!

1. Asking doesn't hurt, so yes.

2. The best tool is probably OpenRefine but you can also create a mix n' match catalog.

3. Right now the policy is mostly: "is this news article used as a reference somewhere else?", if yes, then it is needed, if not, nobody will create it. Any massive change to this unwritten policy would be better discussed beforehand. The best place is probably Wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject Source MetaData or the Wikidata:Wikidata:Project chat.

4. It's related to the previous question, the best people to answer that are on Wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject Source MetaData. --Harmonia Amanda (talk) 06:32, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, very clear and helpful responses! Cogitato (talk) 06:44, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
