[15:54:33] <takitam[m]>	 Hi. I wrote very simple query w.wiki/3bZ and it does not show some results like germany. please help me, i have no idea what is going on...
[16:40:36] <takitam[m]>	 also france, poland and russia is missing...
[17:10:10] <takitam[m]>	 It's no problemm with my query. "Continents, countries, regions and capitals"  from examples also miss these countries. Something really bad is happening.
[17:11:48] <takitam[m]>	 's/ no / not '
[19:18:46] <SothoTalKer>	 takitam[m]: have u tried if updating the items helps?
[19:32:41] <takitam[m]>	 No, what do you mean? To make null edit?
[19:33:05] <SothoTalKer>	 either a null edit or some meaningful edit
[19:33:26] <sjoerddebruin>	 null editing is not possible on wikidata afaik
[19:33:31] <sjoerddebruin>	 so the latter would be needed :)
[19:33:44] <sjoerddebruin>	 Quite annoying on disambiguation or category items :P
[19:33:48] <SothoTalKer>	 Germany is missing aswell
[19:34:19] <sjoerddebruin>	 opening the query, but i guess you are not taking the rank of statements in account
[19:34:36] <SothoTalKer>	 yes, he doesnt
[19:34:48] <SothoTalKer>	 he/she/it
[19:34:59] <sjoerddebruin>	 Also, "country" isn't very useful on Wikidata afaik
[19:35:32] <sjoerddebruin>	 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3624078 might give more
[19:36:37] <SothoTalKer>	 if some entity has "sovereign state", does it need to have "country", too? :p
[19:37:05] <takitam[m]>	 Thanks. But problem remains. France is instance of country but is not in output
[19:37:18] <SothoTalKer>	 seeing the first is a subclass of the latter
[19:37:48] <SothoTalKer>	 you don't get it in the results because of the rank
[19:38:21] <SothoTalKer>	 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Ranking
[19:45:11] <SothoTalKer>	 takitam[m] normal queries like yours will only return those results where the highest rank contains the property "country". for entities where "sovereign state" has the preferred rank, well... they won't be included in the results
[19:45:47] <takitam[m]>	 SothoTalKer: ok, now i see. Thanks!
[19:46:24] <SothoTalKer>	 Here's an example how to "fix" that: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SPARQL/WIKIDATA_Qualifiers,_References_and_Ranks#Ranks
[19:48:25] <takitam[m]>	 awesome link. thx!
[19:49:59] <SothoTalKer>	 you have to work with p and ps instead of wdt, it seems :)
[19:51:01] <takitam[m]>	 yeah... i need to learn many things
[19:51:45] <SothoTalKer>	 i am sure you will succeed
[19:51:57] <takitam[m]>	 :3
[19:53:03] <takitam[m]>	 Maybe i will find some time and add 'Start time' and 'end time' to these 'sovereign state'. At this moment query includes also historical results
[19:57:30] <lucaswerkmeister>	 FWIW, I usually use this when I need “countries” in my queries: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:TweetsFactsAndQueries/Queries/UN_member_states
[20:10:40] <takitam[m]>	 and new entry in my link list ;)
[20:45:25] <egonw>	 sjoerddebruin: is there a way to check if the load/lag correlates with the number of services that make edits (not the count of edits but really the number of IPs making edits)?
[20:45:39] <sjoerddebruin>	 IP's? :O
[20:46:03] <egonw>	 no, never mind... sorry, I'm 10 minutes off...
[20:46:24] <egonw>	 it's more likely what you found... if it's above some count (500 seems about right), it flips out
[20:46:38] <egonw>	 independent of the source
[20:46:40] <egonw>	 never mind...
[20:46:45] <egonw>	 time to get sleep here
