[08:45:45] <marmick>	 hello folks, i’d like to ask u a question.
[08:45:45] <marmick>	 i plan to code a python script to connect to wikidata and obtain lists of articles according to some criteria/properties.
[08:45:45] <marmick>	 which way do u think is best (performance, usability...)?
[08:45:45] <marmick>	 a) using the SPARQLWrapper library (SPARQL Endpoint interface to Python https://rdflib.github.io/sparqlwrapper/ https://people.wikimedia.org/~bearloga/notes/wdqs-python.html)
[08:45:47] <marmick>	 b) using this sparql-client for python (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sparql-client)
[08:45:49] <marmick>	 c) using requesters library like in this example: http://ramiro.org/notebook/us-presidents-causes-of-death/
[08:45:51] <marmick>	 thanks!
[09:36:30] <marmick>	 anyone?
[09:37:49] <pintoch>	 marmick: in general I find that the libraries don't make much difference
[09:38:23] <pintoch>	 just using requests works well (option c)
[09:38:24] <marmick>	 ah
[09:38:54] <marmick>	 i guess performance is the same
[09:38:56] <pintoch>	 I don't really see the point of the sparqlwrapper library to be honest (but it is going to work well too)
[09:39:08] <marmick>	 as it depends on the server
[09:39:21] <marmick>	 but aren't libraries more comfortable to use?
[09:39:21] <pintoch>	 yes the performance only depends on your query
[09:39:58] <pintoch>	 well, in all three cases it's just a few lines of code to make a sparql query
[09:40:41] <pintoch>	 and no matter what you choose now, it's going to be easy to switch to something else if you change your mind
[09:41:12] <pintoch>	 so I really wouldn't worry about that at all
[09:41:26] <marmick>	 it's true
[09:41:42] <marmick>	 just wanted to see if there was one option more popular
[09:41:47] <marmick>	 for a reason i didn't know
[10:41:14] <andre____>	 Jonas_WMDE: Hej! Can I put https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/400461/ on your list in the next 4 hours? (asking as it's a GCI task). Thanks! :)
[10:44:51] <Jonas_WMDE>	 andre____ yes saw it
[10:45:01] <Jonas_WMDE>	 and already tested some
[10:45:05] <Jonas_WMDE>	 but I am on holiday
[10:48:16] <andre____>	 Jonas_WMDE: ah sorry. Someone else I could ask for a review?
[11:02:28] <Guest35134>	 is there any way to get aliases of any wikipedia entity?
[11:02:55] <Guest35134>	 Hi, is there anyone available?
[11:03:28] <Guest35134>	 hi
[11:03:35] <Guest35134>	 :(
[11:04:23] <Guest35134>	 yo
[11:09:47] <reosarevok>	 Guest35134: hi!
[11:15:09] <zellfaze>	 Is there any guidance on how many queries is too many queries for the SPARQL endpoint?
[11:19:07] <zellfaze>	 Looking at some of the operational data I have determined that I have nothing to worry about.
[13:34:19] <marmick>	 hi folks. I have a question... I am just learning about Wikidata. I was wondering whether there exist any project that transforms Wikipedia article categories into Wikidata item's properties.
[14:09:24] <pintoch>	 marmick: there are some tools for that (such as https://petscan.wmflabs.org/) but nothing completely automatic (wikipedia categories are noisy and often hard to map directly to statements)
[14:11:34] <marmick>	 yes, it's noisy
[14:11:59] <marmick>	 but i thought there would be some ppl mapping the categories into properties so that articles would get their items with more statements
[20:37:12] <hoo>	 Do we have a list of the topN used properties (by number of usages in statements)
[20:43:26] <sjoerddebruin>	 hoo: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/List_of_properties/Top100
[20:43:27] <reosarevok>	 hoo: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/List_of_properties/Top100
[20:43:29] <reosarevok>	 ... lol
[20:43:48] <reosarevok>	 ninja-d
[20:44:20] <sjoerddebruin>	 1 second ;)
[20:44:23] <hoo>	 Nice, thanks :)
[20:44:31] <sjoerddebruin>	 Happy belated holidays btw :)
[20:46:08] <hoo>	 Thanks :))
[20:46:57] <sjoerddebruin>	 Crazy if you pick the list of last year... https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Wikidata:Database_reports/List_of_properties/Top100&oldid=422001972
[21:57:43] <Ivy>	 Database reports!!!!
