Welcome to the 600th Wikidata Weekly Summary!

Extended content

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week. Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary! Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed Item #600 Ichiro Suzuki; Property #600 is Wine AppDB ID; and Lexeme #600 is the Japanese conjugation だから 600 in the multiverse: as a year (another year), a number, a category, a track gauge, a jet, an asteroid, an auto race, a genetic element, a death, a birth, a TV serie, a car, a galaxy, a sport discipline, a radio telescope, an engine, a polygon, a film, a GPU, a photolithography, and many more… Timeline of places when they had a population of exactly 600 Map of things at an altitude of 600 m List of items with an external ID equal to 600 Wikidata was 600 days old on Wednesday 11 June 2014. It will be 600 weeks old on Monday 9 August 2027 WikidataCon happened over the weekend Birthday wishes from the community, and a special note from the Wikidata development team at Wikimedia Deutschland below: Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming. Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉 Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all. And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me. Lydia for the development team Documentation of the sessions is currently ongoing with the slides getting uploaded on Wikimedia Commons here. The Livestream and replay of the conference per day are already available on YouTube. The individual sections are here. List of presents gathered by the community for Wikidata's eleventh birthday Luthor is a multi-lingual tool for adding usage examples to lexemes on Wikidata, from sentences found on Wikisource in the same language.

(present from the development team) The Mismatch Finder, the tool to help review mismatches between Wikidata and other data sources now also has support for mismatches on qualifiers. This allows it to be useful also for issues that are in the data in qualifiers. (present from the development team) inteGraality service pack update from d:User:Jean-Frédéric support for grouping by predicates, particularly useful for Lexemes (example by wikibase:lexicalCategory, example by dct:language) ; other example by badge new column type: sitelinks (example 1, example 2) Automatic support for grouping by datetime properties (example) Wikidata Lexeme Forms experimental Wikifunctions support (details TBA) --Lucas Werkmeister (talk) The projects WiseWoman briefly presented of students editing obscure corners of Wikidata are on her Wikidata user page.

Declined revdel at Draft:Balbina Malheiros Dias da Silva

Little stumped by this decline - here's the comparison of the original source and the text: [1] whether cited or not, there's little change from the original, it fundamentally retains the structure and appearance of the original text. It's not a case of no alternative language possible to convey that information. Would you reconsider the revdel, please? Regards, Goldsztajn (talk) 22:21, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Revdel requires blatant copying of material. As this was all cited I don't consider this to be blatant. That's not saying that the material should stand as written, just that removal from the current revision is sufficient. Nthep (talk) 22:50, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you, but it appears that none of your RD1 requests for beetles worked. This happens occasionally, so I assume the script is malfunctioning. Scorpions1325 (talk) 21:32, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The seventh Wikidata Working Hour will cover the Author Disambiguator tool, which helps users assign authors to articles.During the session we will demonstrate how to use the tool on an author who was created during a previous working hour, and another who doesn't exist in Wikidata yet. After the demonstration, participants are encouraged to try the tool themselves during the rest of the working hour. This session will build on the work done in previous Working Hours by connecting authors to the articles they have written.
