Wikidata weekly summary #68

 
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

Profound Decisions Ltd

Latest comment: 11 years ago4 comments3 people in discussion

You PRODded this, and it was deleted. Undeletion has been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to consider AfD. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:53, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

As the editor who requested the undeletion, I can now see I'd confused myself; the deletion seemed legitimate. I'm not sure of the correct process here, but I wouldn't contest a second deletion request (although I would request userfication to give me chance to clean it up). I've been long intending to clean up this page and Maelstrom (live role playing game) anyway. —me_and 10:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
There is no set process, but if it's not improved in a week (and I remember), I'll put it up for deletion again. I'm looking independent sources that cover the company in reasonable depth. I don't really care about the content of the article, it's the sources you need to prove notability. Stuartyeates (talk) 10:48, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
Let's see if I can find the time this week then :) —me_and 11:01, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Abortion

Latest comment: 11 years ago5 comments2 people in discussion

Hey Stuart. I am wondering if some the info that you culled from the Voice for Life article may be useful for Abortion in New Zealand? Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:30, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

My stubby Royal Commission on Contraception, Sterilisation and Abortion needs work if you are interested. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:32, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

I am pondering a complete rewrite of Abortion in New Zealand. There's a walled-garden here of POV articles that need some serious work. I've just merged Status of the Unborn Child Bill into Doug Kidd.
A rewrite of Abortion in New Zealand is a good idea. I have been looking at it for a while thinking that it needed some serious attention. I don't know much about the Status of the Unborn Child Bill but if it attracted a lot of attention it may well deserve its own article - even thought it never became law. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:47, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
It had one very POV ref and due to the pre-digital date I couldn't dig anything else up. I'm happy for anyone with refs to revert and expand... Stuartyeates (talk) 02:49, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Fair enuf. I sometimes have problems getting dead tree format stuff down here in post-quake Christchurch. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 02:54, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #71

 
Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Events/Press/Blogs
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • Wikivoyage is scheduled to get access to Wikidata data (aka phase 2) on August 26th.
    • Listen to and watch beautiful Wikidata edits
    • To support the inclusion of geographical coordinates in Wikidata, just about two months a new data type came available and d:Property:P625 "coordinate location" was created. Already 565,000 pairs of coordinates are now available on WikiData. Compare this to 870,000 coordinates on English Wikipedia or 1,500,000 items with d:Property:P17 "country", likely to have coordinates. Have a look at them on a map.
  • Did you know?
    • Newest properties: approved by (P790), ISIL ID (P791), chapter (P792), Key event (P793), as (P794), distance along (P795), geo datum (P796), executing authority (P797), mission design series designation (P798), air ministry specification (P799), work (P800), notable work (P801), student (P802), professorship (P803), GNIS Antarctica ID (P804), subject of (P805). Italian cadastre code (P806) In Addition new properties to describe mushrooms were created: hymenium type (P783), mushroom cap shape (P784), hymenium attachment (P785), stipe character (P786), spore print color (P787), mushroom ecological type (P789), edibility (P789). These will allow to build the data for a mushroom infobox (as w:Template:Mycomorphbox).
    • Newest task forces: Physics task force
    • Wikidata helped remove 240,000,000 language links from Wikipedia's wiki text.
  • Development
    • Want to get an overview of what Pragun, our Google Summer of Code student working on Wikidata for mobile, is doing? Check here
    • Worked on simple special page to make a query (bugzilla:52385)
    • Worked on ability to move qualifiers
    • Started improving API and Special Page tests
    • Fixed links to Special:SetSiteLink in non-JavaScript interface (bugzilla:51914)
    • ChangeOps, custom summaries and autocomments for SetStatementRank API module
    • Fixed displaying “0” as label/description in autocomments
    • Some minor fixes for rare crashes of editing UI
    • Worked on moving Selenium tests to Cucumber
  • Open Tasks for You
    • See if you can connect some of these Wikivoyage pages to their item on Wikidata.
    • Check if some of the items on this and this list can be merged. But be careful to only merge if they are really about the same topic! Help about merging is at d:Help:Merge.
    • Update, expand and translate d:Wikidata:Introduction to make it easier for newcomers to understand what Wikidata is all about.
    • Hack on one of these.

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

Speedy deletion declined: Hudson Bay toad

Latest comment: 11 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Hello Stuartyeates. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hudson Bay toad, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: this is not nonsense; it is unreferenced, but a quick Google confirms that it is not a hoax, it is a valid article. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 10:22, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

PS: looking at the history, I can quite understand why you tagged the version you saw; Shirt58 sorted the muddle out afterwards. JohnCD (talk) 10:39, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

RE: DWNP and DYPE

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Hi there, you know I've seen your proposed deletion of one of the articles created by Petermusngi. Before I jumped in the conclusion, I've made an investigation about those articles, and I've found out that these articles are clearly a hoax, so I believed that these articles should be deleted immediately.Hamham31Heke!KushKush! 05:53, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Russia (Ukraine)

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
 

A tag has been placed on Russia (Ukraine), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 16:55, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Keep an eye on Goodreads?

Latest comment: 11 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Ergh... remember the revert war on the Goodreads article over the controversy section? There's some hints of that coming about again, as someone keeps removing the initial sentence, saying that it wasn't backed up by the CS Monitor source. I can't really tell what exactly it is about the source that isn't backing up the sentence and after pouring over the article I removed one brief phrase. The problem is that I really, really don't want another messy revert war like there was last time. That was particularly awful, especially since it was somewhat obvious that we had people editing with some COI. I know that you're taking a hiatus, but I thought I'd let you know just in case since you were involved with the initial edit war. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:35, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.

IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.

Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.

Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions

We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:

Views/Day
Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
Quality
Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.

The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Content
Is more content needed?
Headings
Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
Images
Is the number of illustrative images about right?
Links
Does this article link to enough other Wikipedia articles?
Sources
For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 23:29, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
