[00:04:32] Hello! [00:05:18] Are these two entries not the same? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q16825641 [00:05:23] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26216336 [00:07:38] Also, O_O @ non-canonical namespace naming at this wiki [00:07:59] Project: is not a namespace alias haha. [00:17:54] ajr: ^ [00:18:07] yes looks like it [00:18:09] I've merged them [00:18:25] thx [00:18:58] np [11:06:10] Amir1: So it happened and I did not turned on IRC. ;-) Are you in the office already? [11:28:47] How do I specify something is a *former* village? [11:29:01] sjoerddebruin: have you come across this issue maybe? [11:29:57] (I have 325 former Estonian villages in petscan right now, most of which have zero statements - should it be P31 village, P31 something else preferred? If so, what something else? [11:29:59] ) [12:08:31] reosarevok: p31 village and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q22674925 prefered i think [12:08:40] Thanks! [12:09:43] Hmm. Can PetScan (or any other batch-tool) batch set preferred? [12:13:30] * reosarevok will have to just add both P31s without anything else otherwise because he's not going to click 325 arrows... [16:36:00] Thiemo_WMDE1: I slept over, Starting to work now [16:38:28] Uh. At 5pm? ;-) [16:38:59] Amir1: I will do some family business now, but continue to work in an hour. [16:39:16] Cool [16:39:22] have fun [17:56:24] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1691657 shouldn't the P31 be P279? [17:56:38] Indeed. [17:58:20] (seems it's P31 for pretty much all of them, sigh) [17:59:28] Oh [17:59:30] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Metamorforme42/Ambassadors [18:00:26] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Metamorforme42/Ambassadors has some talk [18:00:50] User seems to be inactive though. [18:01:13] Well, last active in October, might be worth a ping [18:30:49] Is facet of correct here? https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q23041510 - I'm still not fully sure how it's to be used [18:31:15] Yep. [18:31:39] Yay [18:32:50] July 2017 I see, we're hitting 2012 soon with nlwiki. ;) [18:33:27] How would I go about adding a link to a doctoral thesis to a Wikidata page about a person? [18:33:38] P50 = author of [18:33:53] Q187685 = doctoral thesis [18:33:58] https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P800 [18:34:29] Nja, a doctoral thesis is NOT generally a notable work.... [18:34:31] Wait, we also have https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1026 [18:34:49] I want to link to the DNB (German National Library) page for the thesis [18:35:03] We need to have a local item about it first. [18:35:21] I see - first create a Q for the book [18:35:55] P1026 is good, interesting that it is the same as Q187685 :) [18:36:59] Ouch, that's a lot of work: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15212501 [18:37:02] There's plenty of property / item pairs :) [18:37:10] (there's also a Q for "date of birth" after all) [18:37:24] Makes it difficult for beginners :) [18:37:56] I used the query editor for crafting queries for answering the Tagesspiegel Christmas puzzle :) It was frustrating at times [18:37:58] Heh. I'm kind of a beginner myself, but :D [18:38:07] Thanks! [18:38:32] You might have seen the property is linked from the item with P1687 though :) [18:38:44] (so if you find the relevant item, often you find the property too!) [20:55:43] hello folks, i wanted to ask u a question. [20:55:44] i plan to code a python script to connect to wikidata and obtain lists of articles according to some criteria/properties. [20:55:44] which way do u think is best (performance, usability...)? [20:55:45] a) using the SPARQLWrapper library (SPARQL Endpoint interface to Python https://rdflib.github.io/sparqlwrapper/ https://people.wikimedia.org/~bearloga/notes/wdqs-python.html) [20:55:47] b) using this sparql-client for python (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sparql-client) [20:55:49] c) using requesters library like in this example: http://ramiro.org/notebook/us-presidents-causes-of-death/ [20:55:51] thanks!
