Re: [Wikidata] [Wikimedia-l] Next step in the development

Often I see or make additions to articles & then see hidden categories like Official Website not in Wikidata or Coordinates not in Wikidata, or the Authority Control data is in Wikidata but it has an LCCN parameter added in the template in Wikipedia. Are there any semi-automated tools that would fa

Very nice! A few quick comments: * It keeps asking me to share my location (FF40/Mac), even though I agree. Maybe a cookie issue? * This also happens when I click on an item. * Testing near Wikidata HQ ;-) I found quite a few items without image. Note that you can construct a link for specific it

Congratulations! I'd love to see it on translatewiki.net ASAP, but at the moment its i18n/*.json files are not quite ready ;) Please let me know if you need any assistance making them completely useful and translatable. I'll be happy to help. I'm very excited about this project since Lyida introd

[Wikidata] Next step in the development

Hi all, I think it is time for the next step in the Wikidata development: a better integration in Wikipedia and her sisterprojects. Every day thousands of articles are created, and many of those are not added to Wikidata, even while often an item about this subject exists. Users forget to add a n

Re: [Wikidata] Blazegraph

Hoi. I have been involved with Wikidata for a long time. I know about SPARQL, when I learned about it, it had major limitations and it was highly split up in flavours. We are talking Wikidata here and when tools are not available to Wikidata people, they are hardly relevant in the Wikidata context

Re: [Wikidata] Blazegraph

Maybe you should put it the other way: as long as Wikidata's tools do not integrate with SPARQL? Because SPARQL is well-supported outside Wikidata, much more so than Wikidata's tools. So I think you focus on the wrong "niche". On Thu, Oct 29, 2015 at 11:08 AM, Gerard Meijssen wrote: > Hoi, > Sorr

Hoi, Sorry for not replying earlier.. I am busy in real life. It is good to be wrong, particularly about something like this. It is much better to have this engine available to people. What I find relevant is that additional tools are needed to make it shareable. This combined with the learning cu

Re: [Wikidata] Wikidata descriptions to show on mobile web Wikipedias

I would agree with Joe Filceolaire on this. Compare the results of a search for "John Arbuthnot" on Wikidata: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?search=&search=John+Arbuthnot&title=Special%3ASearch&go=Go against the search for "John Arbuthnot" on Reasonator: https://tools.wmflabs.org/reaso
