[03:21:02] PROBLEM - WDQS SPARQL on wdqs1005 is CRITICAL: CRITICAL - Socket timeout after 10 seconds https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/Runbook [03:25:28] RECOVERY - WDQS SPARQL on wdqs1005 is OK: HTTP OK: HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 690 bytes in 1.555 second response time https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata_query_service/Runbook [12:59:34] what's the best way to add DOB if there's no exact year but a range is given? [13:00:08] like there's a person whose DOB is estimated between 1787 and 1841. [13:05:33] as far as I know: a) enter a year somewhere within that range, e.g. 1814; b) manually set precision to most accurate value encompassing the whole range (in this case, millennium :/ ); c) add qualifiers earliest date + latest date [13:06:21] the split between a) and b) is relevant for e.g. the query service, where many simple queries will only see the year that you choose, without the precision; if you just entered “2nd millennium”, those queries would see 2000 as the year (latest year in the 2nd millennium) [13:30:39] ok I have added 1814 with precision of millennium but upon saving it only shows 2. millennium [[Q101533620]] [13:30:40] 10[1] 10https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q101533620 [13:37:12] yes, but you would see 1814 e.g. in https://w.wiki/39Vm [13:38:51] ah, wondering why it doesn't appear onwiki. [13:38:58] * ah, wondering why it doesn't appear onwiki. [13:45:25] hi, i have an object with P2873 (time in space) which is a subproperty of P2047 (duration) and i want to normalize it in seconds, i tried doing this: ?crew wdt:P2873/wikibase:quantityAmount ?timeInSpace . but it returns no results, any idea how i can fix that? [13:45:57] it works when i remove the wikibase:quantityAmount but then it's no longer normalized [13:46:18] and i get results in minutes, hours and seconds, so they can't be ordered [13:55:35] seirl: I believe you want something like https://w.wiki/39Vn [13:56:55] awesome, seems to be working [13:57:11] although i am very far from being able to come up with that myself, guess i have some learning to do [16:47:35] Lucas_WMDE: so in the case of the date range for date of birth, the query defaults to the later date? Just looking at the query you shared a couple of hours ago. https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%2a%20WHERE%20%7B%20wd%3AQ101533620%20wdt%3AP569%20%3FdateOfBirth.%20%7D [16:47:54] I guess this URL is prettier: https://w.wiki/39Vm [16:47:56] not the query, the date parser in Wikibase [16:48:16] Sorry right. The date parser defaults to the later one. [16:48:31] And you just learn that by experience, or is there documentation on such things? [16:49:18] not sure if that specific fact is documented somewhere [16:49:31] but the general process I explained seems to match [[Help:Dates#Inexact dates]] [16:49:32] 10[2] 10https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Dates%23Inexact_dates [16:51:17] Ah thanks. Still learning where to find things. This Date documentation is excellent.
