Re: [Wikitech-l] Adding new property value in WIKIDATA
Hoi, The process is cumbersome; you have to request the creation of a new property in Wikidata itself. It is anybody's guess how long it will take for a positive response. Even a negative response is something that can have you wait for a long time.

It is anybody's guess how long it will take for a positive response. Even a negative response is something that can have you wait for a long time. This is for creating a completely new property. And yes this takes some time - for a good reason. Anjali: Do you want to create a new property or just add a new value using an existing property? To clarify: When you go to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42 instance of is a property. The ones that exist can be used anywhere you want in Wikidata. human is the value.

[Wikitech-l] Captcha Idea Proposal for GSOC 2014
Hello, From last response on proosal for Multilingual, usable and effective captchas; i figured out following few solutions to the points raised by the mailing list members: 1)Captcha on the basis of selection of particular object:In this type of captcha the questions will be shown as shown here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proposal6correction.png ;other possible questions can be:Select the images in which man is wearing sunglasses,now problem i encountered while making such captcha request is that a bot could easily use Google images or third eye to find the look for images of man wearing sunglasses from the Wikimedia Commons .so to encounter this problem we can use a random numbering over the images and then ask user to to select the images in order of numbering for example the only answer to the sample question i provided above is :https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proposal7correction.png ;one of the wrong answer to the given question is:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proposal8correction.png ; because it is not arranged in correct order which is 1,4,12 (in increasing numeric order).ps:i did forgot to specify increasing numeric order in the question i provided but the plan is to provide the question as Select human among the given photograph's and select it in increasing numeric order?. Providing increasing numeric order might make bot guess wrong answer 90% of time,which is quite comparable to the current captcha system that uses OCR as provided in the given algorithm: http://www.gizmag.com/captcha-beating-ai/29559/ . 2)Ask User to click on the same image as provided:The question for this type of captcha looks like this:https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proposal5correction.png we can ask user to click on the options showing equivalent image to that provided in the question.For the question provided the answer is :https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proposal9correction.png .Ps:we ca use more than four options probably eight options since it would be harder of bot to make a guess. 3)For blind and visually impaired users:We can use and audio captcha system which ask user to select the number as it is asked in the audio .For example the visual equivalent of the audio asked by the user will be : https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Proposal11correction.png .Now when audio asked user to select number 0 our user will use arrow key to move across different blocks like a slide showwith different voice speaking out the options and pressing enter will select the word spokenhence verifying that the user is human.although the above shown image is visual equivalent the actual image visible will be: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File%3AProposal4correction.png ;to make the captcha reload we can user to by pressing key r which will be instructed in the audio while the captcha starts playing. Please give your response to idea provided and also the idea is listed here:https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:CAPTCHA Thank You Aalekh Nigam aalekhN https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:AalekhN -- ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Le 02/03/2014 01:33, Samuel Klein a écrit : Brilliant. Congrats to everyone who is working on this! What is needed to scrape categories? 0 - For all dumped pages (so at least NS_MAIN and NS_CATEGORY pages), download the list of categories they belong to (with the MW API). 1 - For each dumped page, implement the HTML rendering of the category list at the bottom. 2 - For each category page, get the content HTML rendering from Parsoid and compute and render sorted lists of articles and sub-categories in a similar fashion like the online version (with multiple pages if necessary). All the stuff must be integrated in the nodejs script and category graph must be stored in redis.

[Wikitech-l] GSOC-2014: Google Books Internet Archive
I'm Btech(2nd year) from India. I code in python/c/c++/javascript. I have selected a mentorship project from Project listhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects named Google Books Internet Archive Commons upload cycle I have a doubt about downloading ebooks from Google-Books. Is it even legal(not against google's tc). If it is please guide me on how to get the downloads. My ideas: The Bot will surf Google-books and search the required book. Then it will click on each link corresponding to each page number (for the book), and then download the image(jpeg) for each page. Note: The project is in python We need community's valuable suggestions to improve the proposal.

Hi Karan, thanks for your interest in Wikimedia! Have you read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 already? It has a section called Where to start which hopefully covers the next recommended steps.

This ZIM file is 40 GB big and contains the current 4.5 million articles with their 3.5 millions pictures: http://download.kiwix.org/zim/wikipedia_en_all.zim.torrent This ZIM file is directly and easily usable on many types of devices like Android smartphones and Win/OSX/Linux PCs with Kiwix, or Symbian with Wikionboard. You don't need modern computers with big CPUs. You can for example create a (read-only) Wikipedia mirror on a RaspberryPi for ~100USD by using our ZIM dedicated Web server called kiwix-serve.

I'm adding the design list. I talked about this recently with a couple of the designers.

The image idea where users are asked to spot the odd one out like demonstrated or find all the similar images like mentioned in herehttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CAPTCHA . Also a picture with a part chipped in could be shown and chipped pictures could be given as options like find the missing part from a jigsaw puzzle. The image which would be shown is http://imgur.com/uefeb08 http://imgur.com/KEJqCg3 is the picture which would be the correct option. The other options could be rotated versions of this , which would not be so easy for the bot to match. (unless it somehow worked some digital processing algorithm and matched the color gradients or something like that). This is a good option for people who do not know english or are illiterate and maybe would not understand questions like : is this a bird , plane , superman? after being shown a picture.
