Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] Mapping Wikipedia artciles
I've spent an hour tagging ways and nodes in Solihull. I started on the main wikipedia page for Solihull and then followed all the relevant links. I'll continue for Solihull - it's probably easier to try and complete this LA area as there'll be fewer wikipedia articles. Probably complete it by Xmas - if you want to use it as a case study Andy. It makes a welcome change from existing mapping projects There were a couple of multipolygons that required tagging (BHX and NEC) Tag data for the West Mids: from ITOworld so it doesn't count nodes wikipedia 209 wikipedia:en 3 wikidata 20 There's also a smattering of wikipedia :architect :artist :subject Regards Brian On 17 August 2014 12:57, Andy Mabbett wrote: > On 17 August 2014 12:26, Andy Mabbett wrote: > > you might link to one directly, thus: > > > >commons=File:St Paul Birmingham from south PP.jpg > > Or maybe not: > >http://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/commons#values > > I've asked on the tagging list to see what suggestions other folk have: > > > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/tagging/2014-August/018856.html > > -- > Andy Mabbett > @pigsonthewing > http://pigsonthewing.org.uk > > ___ > Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list > Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands > ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

Who has a tool/ skills to do that? > How about tags to Wikimedia Commons? There's nothing on the wiki, that I can find. the Wikidata entry will include a property for the relevant category on Wikimedia Commons, where one exists, but should you wish to tag explicitly, I suggest: commons=Category:St Paul, Birmingham Again, that uses the title from the page on Wikimedia Commons. Where there is no category on Commons, one may be created or, of there are only one or two images, you might link to one directly, thus: commons=File:St Paul Birmingham from south PP.jpg > How do I find out if an object has a wikidata relationship? If there's a Wikipedia article there should be a Wikidata entry, linked in its left-hand column; if not create one (or let me know and I will do so; volume of requests permitting). -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk ___ Talk-gb-westmidlands mailing list Talk-gb-westmidlands@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb-westmidlands

There is a plugin for JOSM that does Wikipedia. Just been using it around Malvern, There is quite a lot of work to do, plus it shows a few errors in Wikipedia. Ian Caldwell.
