[08:29:32] I recently learned that EN:WP has a list of episodes from This American Life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_This_American_Life_episodes [08:29:55] Is it possible/better to save it into WIkidata? If yes, what is the best way to do it? [08:35:07] that doesn't seem like something that has been done for other tv shows [08:36:06] maybe a better question is : what's the politics on importing data that is already fully available in other databases (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=79928&seasonid=17497&lid=7) ? [08:36:40] I have done it for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historie%C3%A4tarna [08:45:25] rom1504: Interesting. So it doesn't make sense to have it in Wikidata too, right? (I'm trying to understand what fits in here and what not) [08:53:28] Well, if properties should be added for an item of similar type where there are no other databases, then it should be added to all items of same type for completeness [08:53:59] otherwise queries could get very skewed [09:00:02] xmc: no idea [09:01:07] my guess is : try to add it, if it doesn't fit, someone might tell you about it [09:01:52] rom1504: thx [09:02:42] (but if I was to add it automatically, I would do it from thetvdb and not from wikipedia, much easier and just as accurate) [09:03:51] thstvdb only has two episodes, while TAL aired quite some more. (At least I only could find two from 2007/8) [09:20:15] you means seasons [09:20:25] but yeah indeed in that case it seems that wikipedia list has more info [09:36:41] aude: if you want to join the vagrant meeting, we're in synkope or in the hangout [12:02:48] pywikibot does not seem to detect a language code that seems to exist [12:03:05] pywikibot.exceptions.UnknownSite: Language 'tg-cyrl' does not exist in family wikidata [12:03:44] but tg-cyrl labels do seem to exist on wikidata . YuviPanda could this be a bug? [12:05:49] where are you setting the language? [12:06:43] nikki, in the python script like: site = pywikibot.Site('tg-cyrl', 'wikipedia') [12:07:30] that probably needs to be just "tg", there isn't a tg-cyrl.wikipedia.org [12:08:18] oo, am trying to ad a tg-cyrl label to wikidata [12:08:57] so maybe that line needs to be different? https://github.com/amishas157/wikidataLabelUpload/blob/master/script.py#L11 [12:09:24] iirc, it should be pywikibot.Site("wikidata", "wikidata") [12:10:59] that makes sense nikki , thanks. this worked for other languages [12:11:44] interesting that the language is wikidata ;) [12:14:27] yeah, I can understand it though, since wikidata doesn't have individual language editions like wikipedia [15:27:45] Hi! How can I add a reference in wikidata, that is a physical book and not an URL or wikidata item? [15:28:35] what property have I to use? [15:44:22] doctaxon: it is a bit complicated. Check out this: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Sources#Books [15:44:47] I did find it right now [15:45:28] but I had a bit long needed to find it [16:53:47] nikki: pywikibot.Site("wikidata", "wikidata") always seems to confuse people (same for Commons)..... [16:55:42] yeah, I keep forgetting the right combination (even though it's straightforward) [16:56:39] I'm pretty sure I must have tried www as the language at some point... and wikimedia as the project [16:56:41] Do you use Pywikibot a lot? [16:56:43] no [16:56:47] which is why I keep forgetting :P [16:58:23] haha, all my bots use it. Mostly as a library for the painting imports these days [16:59:19] Just one pesky bug I want to fix (read-only database). I do wonder why the Wikidata databases keep slipping into read-only for brief periods of time [17:44:07] nikki: can you give me a link to the ticket about those annoying spinners while adding statements [17:44:14] the phabricator search engine is shitty [17:44:26] I have a feeling it has become even worse [17:53:38] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115267 this one? [17:53:55] hm. didn't notice it was closed, I do still get it [17:55:22] although the reproducible thing I found seems to be fixed, probably two different things :/ [18:00:04] I never know whether to reopen something or make a new ticket :/ [18:00:16] I just posted a comment, otherwise I will stab hoo. [18:09:45] I added another method I can reproduce it with [18:11:13] /c [18:26:28] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T149326#2857664 might be interesting to people like WikidataFacts ;) [21:05:23] PROBLEM - wikidata.org dispatch lag is higher than 300s on wikidata is CRITICAL: HTTP CRITICAL: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - pattern not found - 1762 bytes in 2.165 second response time [21:10:13] RECOVERY - wikidata.org dispatch lag is higher than 300s on wikidata is OK: HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 1730 bytes in 0.269 second response time
