[09:11:49] Hi, i'm working on a location-based projects for open-data. wikidata would be the perfect location to share/publish our POIs. I already found some place-entries, but not as many as I expected. [09:12:03] is there a policy regarding this topic? [09:14:01] About data donations? [09:37:31] Lydia_WMDE: http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail58.html [10:55:00] Hey all :-) [10:56:19] hi [10:56:58] I'm just a swede looking for objective facts as basis for debate... any pointers for the best places and people to find that? I once participated in Hack for Sweden and have met Jan Ainali ^_^ [10:58:50] Development-wise, I may be falling in love with iPython Notebook, i have solid Git experience and probably should be working on Docker rather than going down this rabbit hole... [11:47:01] *crickets chirping...* I'll stay and idle here anyway :-) [11:51:32] UncleCJ: Hi! Not sure I get you correctly. You're interested in getting involved in development of the Wikidata codebase? [11:55:59] andre__: Well, not wikidata per se, but people and spaces where data is discussed and made accessible. I assumed wikidata would be one of the best existing spaces for that and in the long term I'm sure I'll contribute too :-) [12:26:46] DanielK_WMDE: git log origin/wmf/1.27.0-wmf.3..origin/master [14:43:12] Does anyone have a link to an explanation how to add quantities without using 50 digits? [14:43:33] With pywikibot I mean (python 3 float) [14:57:49] Example for above question: I want this to show up as 14.1 + 14.0 - 14.2 and not https://test.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1746&type=revision&diff=20737&oldid=20736 [15:18:14] aude: can you please create tickets for the remaining blockers for special:nearby. it seems we still don't have them all in phabricator. dimension, globe and type for example is still missing [15:20:16] Lydia_WMDE: ok [15:20:52] thanks :) [15:23:02] done [15:26:19] \o/ [15:28:53] * aude usually forgets to add [Task] :( [15:29:50] Lydia_WMDE, While you are online. Do you know who could answer the question from 16:43 (and following)? [15:30:58] Good Afternoon [15:34:30] !admin i need to ask a question about properly including a logo of company inside wikidata [15:34:59] susanna, All images need to go on Commons. [15:35:13] wikidata then links to commons. [15:35:49] thanks tobias47n9e_ what if the image has been already loaded on wikipedia ? Could i link that version ? [15:36:52] susanna, If it is only on Wikpedia because of a liscencing issues, then Wikidata is, as far as I know, not able to store a link to that image. [15:40:03] tobias47n9e_: sorry no [15:40:42] tobias47n9e_: as far as i can see, the logo has been loaded on wikipedia using the exemption doctrine policy [15:40:59] Lydia_WMDE, Thanks. I will wait around or see if I can find someone on WD that has already done something similar. [15:41:24] susanna, Can you post the link? [15:42:07] tobias47n9e_: of course https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_UnipolSai.png [15:46:14] susanna, I think unless you ask the company to release their logo to Commons, there is no way to add it to Wikidata. Of course one could to one of their buildings (if they have any) and make a photo where the logo is also included :) [15:46:30] *could go to one of their* [15:47:23] susanna, Are you trying to fix the logo that is shown in the google search? [15:47:44] tobias47n9e_: that's correct [15:49:27] susanna, Not sure if or how Google syncs that informtion with Wikipedia and Wikidata. Maybe denny knows that. [15:49:28] i'm trying to help the company and respect wikidata at the same time, that's why i'm asking [15:49:43] dennyvrandecic, ping ^ [15:52:36] i hope the mention of his name is enough to summon him [15:52:41] DanielK_WMDE: I'm online again. [15:53:09] Traffic in Berlin is insane the last days. Is it the weather? Crazy. 2hours instead of 1 to get home. [15:53:41] susanna, The first rule of IRC is to stick around. Even if it is hours or days :) [15:54:55] tobias47n9e_: i'll have to re-open the chanell tomorrow morning, otherwise people are gonna lock me in the workplace... and it's not pretty, there's only water and coffee here. [15:55:30] susanna, You can also post the question to the wikidata project chat. More people might be interested in how that works. [15:56:59] thanks for the insight, do i have to "start a discussion" and go with the flow ? Something i need to know ? [15:59:03] susanna, New topic in english project chat: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Project_chat&action=edit§ion=new [15:59:31] susanna, Or italian project chat: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Bar&action=edit§ion=new [15:59:42] this channel is logged, so even if you go offline, you can see messages people have left [15:59:52] thank you legoktm [16:00:00] and thanks also tobias47n9e_ [16:00:05] susanna, But answers are suually quicker on english. [16:01:50] i'll use english, no problem at all [16:16:36] done, thanks again tobias47n9e_ [17:36:41] Hmm! I just had the idea to run snap, gephi, wandora and maybe others inside a docker... does that sound like fun to anyone in the channel? [18:02:43] the project chat page stopped working for me [18:02:46] right after I edited it :/ [18:03:04] :( [18:03:19] we know and are reverting (whatever the issue) [18:03:53] aaaah, no hoo [18:04:05] so it wasn't me who broke it? phew :D [18:05:34] no [18:05:55] all wikipedia articles suddenly became blank [18:06:09] is that the case for you too? [18:06:33] probably [18:06:39] on enwiki the main page is blank, not on jawiki [18:07:33] ops people are very aware and fixing :/ [18:07:40] I can wait 'til it's fixed anyway (not like I have an option), I was just freaked out by it happening right after I pressed save [18:08:03] yeah [18:08:09] thanks for poking us [18:14:05] hi, I am new to wikidata and i was wondering if i could ask someone a few questions about how it owrks [18:14:18] ! [18:14:58] hi, !admin i am new to wikidata and i was wondering if i could ask a few questions about how it works [18:16:08] !admin [18:20:49] yay, project chat is back [18:38:14] I want this to show up as 14.1 + 14.0 - 14.2 and not https://test.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q1746&type=revision&diff=20737&oldid=20736 - Does anyone know how one needs to pass floats in pywikibot to the addClaim function? [19:37:17] tobias47n9e_: Floats? [19:37:27] I'm pretty sure not floats are used in Wikidata [19:38:59] multichill: But isn't it possbile to add numbers with less digits through pywikibot? Why does it use 50 digits for 14.1? [19:39:24] Probably that's the float -> string conversion making fun of you..... [19:39:53] But I do have to pass a float. I don't thin WbQuantity accepts string-numbers. [19:41:18] And I thought that I've seen bots that add rounded numbers, but I can't find a discussion or edit anymore to find out more. [19:42:19] amount=14.0, error=0.1 [19:42:25] tobias47n9e_: ^ [19:42:30] Did you try that? [19:44:19] multichill, The code is here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Pywikibot_-_Python_3_Tutorial/Quantities_and_Units [19:45:39] multichill, I do think, that I did what you said. But I might not see a mistake I am making. [19:48:42] wow, I apparently "fixed" my KDE [19:49:37] shh hoo, you'll jinx it [19:50:21] I made the configuration in question read only and now KDE apparently no longer messes it up [19:50:25] I'm surprised that worked [19:50:34] huh, weird [19:52:35] multichill: I was rudely interrupted by my internet connection going down for hours the other day, but I got the script working, at least for a test item - https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q11361940&diff=prev&oldid=257625909 :D [19:52:58] nikki: Great! [19:53:03] guess I should go ask for permission to import that stuff before I do any more though [19:53:17] nikki: Just run it [19:53:22] oh? [19:53:35] But if you break it, you fix it :-) [19:54:00] (or buy it, whatever you like best) [19:56:27] heh ok then [19:56:38] although first I want to finish merging some stuff I found that to merge [20:35:51] hey are there any project to guide how to create Wikidata entries about TV series? [20:38:30] Porto: Don't think we have a guide, we do have items for a lot of TV series already [20:38:36] Which show were you thinking about? [20:41:13] multichill: nothing in particular, just searching for someting other than WikiProject books to guive guidance [20:44:21] Porto, Episodes of notable shows are notable too: So you could look at something like this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5142345 [20:45:41] if you come across something, I'd be interested in knowing about it. I'm never sure how to label individual series [20:46:04] (what the americans call seasons, I guess) [20:46:14] tobias47n9e_: oh, too late [20:46:57] Thank you tobias47n9e_ , this is just what I am looking for [20:48:29] dennyvrandecic, Thanks for responding. She asked the question on the project chat and got an answer https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#I_would_like_to_add_a_logo_to_a_company_inside_Wikidata_but_i_don.27t_have_an_image_in_the_commons. [20:48:37] dennyvrandecic, Sorry for the noise. [20:49:20] tobias47n9e_: no trouble at all, thanks for pinging me [20:49:23] checking the project chat [20:51:56] DanielK_WMDE_: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/238137 Should be quick to get in shape [20:52:01] would like to move that forward [20:53:10] I will think latter about creating a task force to get info from wikipedia infoboxes about tv series into wikidata. I would need to give this the necessary time in my schedule to do a good job. [21:02:20] Porto: You should try the Listeria lists. Those would be really useful for tables of TV-shows. [21:03:18] Porto, http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=354, http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=348 in case you haven't seen the anouncments [21:11:09] tobias47n9e_: very nice! I bookmarked both links to review and will try to follow up with this latter today
