Re: [Wikidata] wikiconvention & wikidata: thanks and a bug report
Hi Loic! That is of course unfortunate that it didn't work as planned. Maybe if we can get more people signed up for Wikiprojects it would make it easier to get more specialised sessions organised. Or even plan separate events. Especially for free software it might also make sense to have a workshop and booth at open source conferences. The data from Wikidata could be very useful for example to the freedesktop initiative, so there would be a lot of synergies. -tobias Am 21.08.2016 7:07 nachm. schrieb "Loic Dachary": > Hi, > > A short mail to report a bug in the organization of the wikidata workshop > held today during the wikiconvention in Paris[1].

[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T72763: Create a Wikibase glossary
Danwe added a comment. @Lydia_Pintscher Please elaborate on why this got closed as declined. @Snaterlicious' glossary seems like a good initial effort to this task. So why not build on top of this and commit to cleaning up the mess we've gotten into by not drawing a clear line between Wikidata and the Wikibase software it is based on? Several Wikibase developers have repeatedly insisted on keeping a clear separation and made efforts towards it but management seems to still successfully ignore these voices and the fact that Wikibase has other potential use-cases than just Wikidata.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72763EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: Lydia_Pintscher, DanweCc: Ricordisamoa, Aklapper, Danwe, Abraham, MZMcBride, Krenair, Lydia_Pintscher, Wikidata-bugs, jeblad, Snaterlicious, JohnLewis, D3r1ck01, Izno, aude, Mbch331, Jay8g, Spage___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
[Wikidata] wikiconvention & wikidata: thanks and a bug report
Hi, A short mail to report a bug in the organization of the wikidata workshop held today during the wikiconvention in Paris[1]. Weeks in advance I convinced a few people to attend so that we can work on our topic of interest: Software and Free Software in particular[2]. There is no better context than being surrounded by seasoned wikidata contributors to improve and contribute at the same time. The description was appealing: "After a one hour training, we will create groups according to the desire of the participants: contribute, discover and install useful gadgets..." When the audience was asked for their preferences, I raised my hand and happily declared "Contributing to the Software and FLOSS projects !". Much to my surprise this was quickly dismissed: "we're only going to learn about tools, we create groups to use and learn about tools, not to work on a specific project". My interest for the Software project is known to both Harmonia Amanda and Ash_Crow, to the extent that I discussed with them my intent to recruit people to participate in the workshop for that particular topic[3], well in advance. The focus of our interest was also made clear in the participant list[4]. Of course the rebuttal was not enough to discourage us from contributing to wikidata :-) We found another room and did useful work together, just without the pleasure of being part of the group. When facing such a minor disappointment, I suppose there is not much cause for concern. But I thought it would be useful to report what appears to be a glitch in the organization so that it can be fixed. This is not a pleasant thing to write or read, but what would be life without a few mistakes ? In conclusion I would like to thank everyone for a wonderful first experience, specially Harmonia Amanda and Ash_Crow who do a tremendous work with wikidata.

[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T138708: [Epic] Signed statements
abian added a comment. I find better to sign references, and not statements. The idea would be to say "I've checked out this reference and I ensure that this reference is real and consistent with these data", as Wikidata is a secondary database. We could continue signing references like "stated in" (P248). If the value or the reference changes, the signature should automatically disappear (but, in case of a reverted vandalism, the signature should also appear again).TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T138708EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: abianCc: abian, Scott_WUaS, johl, jayvdb, tfmorris, Spinster, TomT0m, Denny, Eloquence, JanZerebecki, T.seppelt, Aklapper, daniel, Zppix, Lydia_Pintscher, D3r1ck01, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, TheDJ, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
