[00:00:10] yuvipanda do you have any idea of how many bills are passed by state legislatures every day ? ^^' [00:00:22] probably a lot [00:00:35] (a few years ago, iirc, 26k in one year) [00:01:25] we aren't running out of space on wikidata yet are we? :D [00:01:33] I mean, it might be totally not be a fit for wikidata [00:01:36] no, but we are low on people ^^' [00:01:38] I'm unsure and hence asking :) [00:01:42] right [00:01:57] I'm mostly trying to focus my despair and helplessness over the last week into something productive [00:01:59] (but on principle, i'd definitely support) [00:02:08] :D ok! [00:02:16] is there already a property for 'is sponsor of' [00:02:18] despair and helplessness ? do tell, i'm there myself, been for over a year [00:02:49] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P859 perhaps [00:04:49] Alphos: hmm, not sure if that'll apply to legislature [00:05:04] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsor_(legislative) [00:05:25] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7579032 but not a property [00:05:30] i know, hence my "perhaps" [00:05:42] but you know, you can ask for the creation of a new property :) [00:05:45] yuvipanda: what a wonderful idea to channel it into something like this [00:05:50] nuffin' wrong with that ! [00:06:25] yuvipanda : oh wait, are you an american citizen ? [00:06:46] if so, well, condolences over your despair and helplessness ^^' [00:07:26] I'm not, I'm merely an american resident [00:07:32] still applies [00:07:50] yah [00:07:55] I appreciate it, thank you Alphos [00:11:40] Alphos: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q23785494&diff=409224247&oldid=376470541 how does that look? [00:11:41] total n00b [00:12:43] https://media.giphy.com/media/26FPn7S3J8VcQSbv2/giphy.gif :) [00:13:07] (i love that series ^^ ) [00:17:26] Alphos: is the way I did the reference correct? [00:20:02] i said "lucifer likes", didn't i ? :p [00:20:41] ah ok :D [00:20:52] yay, I added my first reference on wikidata! [00:29:27] yuvipanda: there's https://sunlightlabs.github.io/openstates-api/ and https://sunlightlabs.github.io/congress/ [00:29:56] i think it would be useful to add some of this to wikidata [00:30:00] yeah [00:30:08] sunlight labs as such is dead [00:30:14] or deadish [00:30:29] yes, this stuff needs a new home [00:30:37] could be wikidata [00:30:40] i don't know if anyone adopted these [00:30:43] yes :) [00:30:57] some of their tools got adopted [00:31:22] I just found that one of the sponsors of HB2 doesn't seem to have a wikidata entry [00:31:42] :( [00:32:07] sooo, mix'n'match ? [00:32:21] ah no [00:32:22] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6306253 [00:33:33] what's mix'n'match? [00:33:42] I'm a very n00b wikidata user :) [00:33:48] one of magnus' tools [00:34:13] https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/ [00:35:06] aude: looks like propublica adopted the sunlight foundation API [00:35:07] https://github.com/propublica/congress [00:35:20] and https://propublica.github.io/congress/ [00:35:49] nice :) [00:44:44] aude: I wonder - is putting legislator's office's phone numbers on wikidata ok? [00:44:47] it's public info [00:47:56] I added it to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20090301 [00:49:08] and left a message on talk apge [00:51:20] yuvipanda: in this case, i think it's ok [00:51:25] if it's a private person,t hen no [00:51:28] then* [00:51:35] yeah [00:51:36] not doxxing [00:51:45] and this is also not their private phone number but their office's [00:51:49] yeah [00:51:50] * yuvipanda has been calling senators lately [00:51:52] that's important [00:52:07] * aude remembers visiting the senate on sopa day [00:53:26] I wonder if I can do a small project [00:53:34] for just adding phone numbers to all senator pages [00:53:35] *items [00:53:43] is there already tools that'll help me with things like that/ [00:53:44] ? [00:54:16] I guess I can write a simple query to find list of senators that don't have a phone number [00:56:58] pywikibot [00:57:22] there's also quickstatements, but that's for adding the same statement to a lot of items [00:57:25] ah :D [00:57:28] right [00:57:32] phone numbers would be different in each case [00:57:39] I think I'll find my carthasis by doing this manually rn [00:57:46] but long term I should start writing this in PAWS [00:57:50] ok :) [13:47:51] added a maintenance query: Desambiguation pages entities used as publishers https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/queries/examples#Desambiguation_pages_entities_used_as_publishers any clue on the most efficient way to correct those errors? [14:02:10] @maxlath it's only 99 of them... [14:09:33] egonw: for publishers (P123), but I guess this issue can be extended to other properties [14:10:08] maxlath: ah... ic [14:10:31] yes, that would be nice... I know that people do checks like that... like uniqueness of values... [14:10:54] a general test for disambiguation pages sounds useful indeed [17:48:56] PROBLEM - Response time of WDQS on einsteinium is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 12.50% of data above the critical threshold [300000.0] [17:54:56] RECOVERY - Response time of WDQS on einsteinium is OK: OK: Less than 5.00% above the threshold [120000.0] [18:34:56] PROBLEM - Response time of WDQS on einsteinium is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 11.11% of data above the critical threshold [300000.0] [18:43:56] RECOVERY - Response time of WDQS on einsteinium is OK: OK: Less than 5.00% above the threshold [120000.0] [18:46:07] PROBLEM - High lag on wdqs1001 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 100.00% of data above the critical threshold [1800.0] [18:48:07] PROBLEM - High lag on wdqs1001 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 100.00% of data above the critical threshold [1800.0] [19:04:07] PROBLEM - High lag on wdqs1001 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 73.33% of data above the critical threshold [1800.0] [19:04:57] PROBLEM - High lag on wdqs1002 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 100.00% of data above the critical threshold [1800.0] [19:31:07] PROBLEM - High lag on wdqs1001 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL: 30.00% of data above the critical threshold [1800.0] [19:33:07] RECOVERY - High lag on wdqs1001 is OK: OK: Less than 30.00% above the threshold [600.0] [20:13:56] RECOVERY - High lag on wdqs1002 is OK: OK: Less than 30.00% above the threshold [600.0] [20:30:47] Can properties be redirected? If yes, do we have any redirected property page on wikidata? [20:37:55] dalba: as far as I know they can't (and I don't know of any) [20:38:55] thanks nikki [21:40:31] good day all, does somebody know what do I need to put in the "language" box for property with monolingual text such as "official name" when the text is in a language with a language code that is not yet recognized in the list of languages? [21:54:35] Amqui: see https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Monolingual_text_languages [21:54:55] (specifically the "when a language code is missing" section :)) [23:22:08] nikki thanks
