[Wikidata] SPARQL with wikipedia redirects

[Zsolt Ero]

Hi,

I'm trying to make this query work with Wikipedia redirects:
https://w.wiki/$sF

SELECT * WHERE {
  VALUES ?page {
"Aachen"@en
"Akron"@en
  }
  ?sitelink schema:name ?page;
schema:isPartOf ;
schema:about ?city.
}

Aachen works, Akron does not, as it is a redirect. How can I make a query
which works with such redirects?

I'm trying to get Wikidata ids for the links from this table:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_GDP
(The html has mw-redirect class for the redirects).

Regards,
Zsolt

[Wikidata] UCoC consultation is about to end... with a game and much more

[Sannita WMF]

Hi everybody,

the end of February is approaching, and with it, the end of the
consultation for the UCoC - please, contain your happiness! :)

Jokes aside, in these last days of consultation there are some more
little actions that you can take to help us in the implementation of
the UCoC:
# you can take the survey[1] about the UCoC (please note that this
survey is hosted by a third-party platform, so read the Survey Privacy
Statement);[2]
# if you don't want to use the survey, you can contact me *off-list
and in private* to have a chat about the UCoC consultation and any
related issue at sannita-ctr(at)wikimedia.org;
# you can participate to the UCoC game:[3] help the young community of
the "Galactic Cookbook Database"[4] by suggesting possible methods,
tools and solutions to implement their general principles for users to
follow;
# you can answer the previous three rounds of questions, at the
consultation's talk page.[5]

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns or
anything to say!

Cheers,

Luca Martinelli

I don't want this to go unappreciated. A few months ago I used
QuickStatements for the first time in years and I was very impressed with
how fast it was. Considering how essential QuickStatements is, I am greatly
appreciative of Magnus' work making QuickStatements more robust and
scalable.

[Wikidata] [WMF Board of Trustees - Call for feedback: Community Board seats] Meetings with the Wikidata community

[Krishna Chaitanya Velaga]

Hello all,

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for
feedback[1] about community selection processes between February 1 and
March 14. While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about
five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have
remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a
problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the
movement’s diversity. Our current processes to select individual volunteer
and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor
candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how
relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member,
or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific
responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored
volunteers from North America and Western Europe. In the upcoming months,
we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community
members in the new seats. This call for feedback is to see what processes
can we all collaboratively design to promote and choose candidates that
represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and
insight to perform as trustees?

In this regard, two rounds of feedback meetings are being hosted to collect
feedback from the technical communities in Wikimedia. Two rounds are being
hosted with the same agenda, to accomodate people from various time zones
across the globe. We will be discussing ideas proposed by the Board and the
community to address the above mentioned problems. Please sign-up according
to whatever is most comfortable to you. You are welcome to participate in
both as well!

Round 1 - Feb 24, 4:00 pm UTC[2]
Round 2 - Mar 3, 4:00 am UTC[3]
Sign-up and meeting details:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation_Board_of_Trustees/Call_for_feedback:_Community_Board_seats/Conversations/MediaWiki_and_Wikitech

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Krishna Chaitanya

Re: [Wikidata] Guidelines for entering label in various languages, e.g. Chinese

[Gerard Meijssen]

Hoi,
For Wikipedia we have a tool that provides to the reader the simplified or
traditional representation based on the users preference. We could do that
for Wikidata if we cared to. The same is true for Commons, its search
engine works for any language based on the availability of Wikidata labels
in other languages and we could serve more than half the world's population
if we cared to.
Thanks,
  GerardM
