• Welcome to 2023’s Final Weekly Summary!

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to the newsletter this year!👏🙏 As we step into 2024, we'd love to hear what changes you would like to see in the newsletter. Share your wishlist here: What changes would you like to see in the newsletter in 2024?"

• Discussions
  • Open request for adminship: EPIC (RfP scheduled to end after 26 December 2023 20:34 UTC)
  • New requests for permissions/Bot: Balyozbot. Tasks:

1. Import sitelinks, labels, descriptions from ku wikipedia pages which use the template w:ku:Template:Înterwîkî etîket û danasîn. (There are over 1800 articles that use this template waiting to be connected to Wikidata at the moment.)
2. Add sitelinks to kuwiktionary / kuwikipedia categories / create an item for the category if necessary. I have been doing this manually for quite some time using Quickstatements but since I need to get permission for the first task, I will be handling them using a bot as well.

• Events
  • Upcoming: Introducing WMF Wishathon for Wikimedia’s Community Wishlist! "focused on bringing together people who already contribute to technical aspects of the Wikimedia projects, who know how to find their way on the technical ecosystem, and who are able to work or collaborate on projects rather autonomously."

  • Blogs
    • African Librarians empowered to share knowledge and enhance information visibility through AfLIA Wikidata Online Course --> The "Promoting Open Knowledge Practices in African Libraries through Wikidata" project, executed by AfLIA with support from the Wikimedia Foundation, trained African librarians on using Wikidata to enhance the visibility of library collections and close the knowledge and gender gap on Africa. The course was facilitated by experienced African Wikimedian editors and included diverse strategies for learner engagement and support.
  • Papers: Increasing Coverage and Precision of Textual Information in Multilingual Knowledge Graphs by (Conia et al, 2023) --> This paper introduces a novel task of automatic Knowledge Graph Enhancement (KGE) to bridge the gap in the quantity and quality of textual information between English and non-English languages in Wikidata. It presents M-NTA, an unsupervised approach that combines Machine Translation, Web Search, and Large Language Models to generate high-quality textual information, and studies its impact on Entity Linking, Knowledge Graph Completion, and Question Answering tasks.
  • Videos
    • Wikidata, Wikisource and Wiktionary: Wikisource for DH (WiSe 2023) --> The lecture "Fundamentals and application-oriented methods of the Digital Humanities" by Kay-Michael Würzner is designed as a series of lectures in which teachers in the "Digital Humanities" course present their fields of work and key topics and present them for discussion.
    • Empowering Open-Source Generative AI by Integrating the Wikidata knowledge graph --> Generative AI has changed the information ecosystem, and open-source knowledge graphs like Wikidata can become invaluable assets, propelling a myriad of applications forward. Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors.
    • Wiki Indaba 2023 - African content on Wikidata --> Discussion with Alice Kibombo, Georges Fodouop and Jesse Asiedu-Akrofi, about Wikidata for African Librarians during the Wiki Indaba conference, that took place between 3-5 November 2023 in Agadir, Morocco.
    • No Time to Wait - S07E10 - ACMI // Wikidata - Paul Duchesne + Simon Loffler --> Report on recent residency program to extensively link together collection data from ACMI with Wikidata. This work has allowed the organisation to import vast quantities of data and media to enrich their own internet collection experience, as well enable writing information back to source and federating with other linked institutions.
    • Wiki(s)data #5: Wikidata Live editing (in Italian) --> The ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality, by Epìdosis
  • Notebooks

• Tool of the week
  • Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
  • Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.

• Other Noteworthy Stuff

Tool of the week

• Wikidata periodic table - Tool by User:Ricordisamoa, to browse all chemical elements available on Wikidata, with atomic number, chemical symbol, and localized label. It also includes two charts of the nuclides, with links to every isotope in Wikidata, colored by half-life or decay mode.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• A new UI mode is available for the online validator for EntitySchemas. It represents validation reports as a table rather than a very long string, and replaces most links with hyperlinks with some of the text behind them; making them easier to read. Currently being tested at https://shex-validator.toolforge.org/packages/shex-webapp/doc/shex-simple-improved.html, we are looking for participants to evaluate this tool. Some experience with editing Wikidata is appreciated, but no experience working with Schemas is required. If you are interested, you can sign up here. We hope to begin interviews around May 13.

Please have a look at this article

Hi. This article was supposed to be deleted back in 2007. Could you do the deed? Otherwise, could you explain why should it stay up after the vote was to delete? I don't understand the way Wikipedia works very well yet and I'm wondering if it's simply eluded the admins or if there's more to the situation. Also, if what I did (contacting you) is the wrong way to go about notifying someone about an article that has been on the death row for too long, could you tell me what's the correct course of action? Harvastum (talk) 23:45, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

@Tom Morris may I have your attention? Harvastum (talk) 09:10, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

The article was deleted in 2007 following the deletion discussion. An article being deleted in the past does not preclude someone from creating a new article on the topic (as someone did in 2012). There being an old article that was deleted doesn't mean a new article on the same topic must also be deleted, unless the new article has similar problems to the old one. (For an administrator to delete it as a recreation of a previously deleted article, it would be covered by the rule described at WP:G4—the fact it was recreated quite a number of years after the 2007 deletion, has been present on the site for twelve years, and has been edited a whole lot by lots of different editors would make it unsuitable for speedy deletion on that basis.)

If you think the current article should be deleted, it would need a new deletion discussion to take place. Other than the procedural matter of it having previously been deleted, is there anything in particular that concerns you about the article—in particular, related to sourcing or notability? WP:AFD and WP:BEFORE explain the rules and process on deletion. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:28, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

I don't have an opinion on the article, I just saw the banner saying that this article was voted on and deletion was chosen, so it looked like someone overlooked it. Is that banner supposed to be there if the article now has better justification being there?

That said, I looked through the edit history out of curiosity and it does seem like edits that added anything else than minor interpunction, or links fixes (apparently, largely automated) come from red usernames who only contributed to this and another article, that has also been deleted in 2007 as a part of the same group of articles.

I apologize for my Wikipedia illiteracy, I hope you are not too bothered by me. If you feel that another deletion discussion is warranted, I would encourage you to start it. Either way, imma skidaddle. Harvastum (talk) 02:14, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Absolutely no worries at all, and no need to apologise. Generally, if an article is nominated for deletion a second time (or third, fourth etc...), the deletion discussion will often refer back to issues raised in the prior discussion. If there's still a deficit in sourcing, that may support deletion—or if points were raised in the previous deletion discussion and they've been adequately resolved, that may be an important point to make in support of retaining the article. The retention of the links to the previous deletion discussions on the talk page is there to support editors in improving the article or contributing to proper consideration of future deletion discussions. —Tom Morris (talk) 10:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

• New property proposals to review:
  • General datatypes:

    • relates to sustainable development goal, target or indicator (indicates a relation between the subject and the SDGs or one of the components)
    • student count by gender (I think there should be a way to document the number of students at a university by their gender, as data for student counts (at least if they come from GENESIS Online - german universities) contain that data divided in male and female students. I think it would make more sense to implement that as a qualifier for {{P|2196}} than implementing it as a new property as that wouldn't make old data obsolete, but also it could interfere with tools that retrieve that data automated and are then confused by having multiple counts at the same time.)
