Welcome to Wikidata, Edgars2007!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

  • Introduction – An introduction to the project.
  • Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
  • Community portal – The portal for community members.
  • Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
  • Project chat – Discussions about the project.
  • Tools – A collection of user-developed JavaScript tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

If you have any questions, please ask me on my talk page. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards! --Stryn (talk) 08:19, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Edgars2007, today I reverted two edits made by you where you added geocoordiates to items that should not have any. Please do a proper review of the wikidata item before copying any coordinates to it. At Gänseliesel (Q1323636) it was a fictional character which should not have any coordinates (other than an statue depicting it), and at Heunensäulen (Q1616500) it was a subclass of columns, not an individual column. -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (Diskussion) 18:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

Do you know what this item refers to? I thought it was "Midlothian," but it seems like it refers to "Clinton Fudge," which does not, as far as I can tell, exist.


Thank you.

Nevermind; you can delete this.

Adding from World Athletics athlete IDs

7
Gymnicus (talkcontribs)

Hello! Earlier you added World Athletics athlete IDs to various data objects using Mix'n'match and including two data objects that I had created. One of the data objects is Torben Junker (Q107447126). However, this data object already contained a World Athletics athlete ID (P1146), and in my opinion the correct one. You have added another (maybe an old) World Athletics athlete ID for this, which can be referred to as a forwarding ID. Do you find adding such World Athletics athlete IDs really useful?

Edgars2007 (talkcontribs)

hi! that kind of was "part of the plan". and yes, the fix is on the way.

Gymnicus (talkcontribs)

And what is the fix?

Edgars2007 (talkcontribs)

for those items which now has multiple IDs, remove IDs which are redirected to other ID, that item has.

Gymnicus (talkcontribs)

Okay, but why are you adding these ID's first? Only to then delete them again?

Edgars2007 (talkcontribs)
  • that simplified m'n'm import process.
  • those are not incorrect IDs, but simply different type - at least World Athletics calls them in their API as "id" and "competitorId_WA". they look messy, though. when i was preparing data, some of "final" URLs, that i checked, were id's and som were competitorId_WA.
  • this also can be a double check process - if item has multiple IDs, which corresponds to different WD items, then it signals that something is wrong.
Edgars2007 (talkcontribs)

and, of course, many WD items didn't had any ID

Import from wikipedia - Cricinfo IDs

The-Pope (talkcontribs)

Hi there, There are currently over 2200 articles on the English Wikipedia that use the Cricinfo template, that don't have a corresponding value in the Wikidata property ESPNcricinfo.com player ID (Property:P2697). They are listed in w:Category:Cricinfo_maintenance in the "M" section. Your bot is listed on the P2697 discussion page as being able to import values from Wikipedia. Could you please conduct a run? I keep an eye on the constraint violations page, so once it's done, I'll look for any errors/duplicates etc. Thanks.

The-Pope (talkcontribs)

It appears that User:Thierry Caro has done most of them, only 365 remain in the maintenance category. Thanks Thierry!

The Elo ratings from December, January and February are missing.

Edgars2007 (talkcontribs)

I will definetely need to automate it so this doesn't happen. Currently setting up the bot (data) is pretty manual process.

ערן (talkcontribs)
  • Is it still mainly manual process? Do you own tool in tools lab? or have github repository? If so it would be nice to mention it in yours bot user page and other people (including me) would like to help to improve it  :-)
  • Can we make the latest update with high ranking and other claims with normal rank? (this is how it is normally done in other time dependent properties such as Q60#P1082)

Thanks!

Steak (talkcontribs)

No, preferred ranks are not used for Elo ratings. The most recent value can be queried by looking for the respective point in time.

Sveiks! Gan jau būtu OK. Esi skatījies, vai Vikidatos ir citu valstu atbilstošie ID? Nesaku, ka tad netaisam ID, ja citām valstīm nav gan.

Gūt. Domāju, ka vari pats droši likt to " (Latvia)" klāt jau tagad.
