Andrew Gray schreef op 15-6-2015 om 14:00: The map can also be used to highlight other country-specific differences, such as the unusually large amount of orphan items in The Netherlands and UK. WLM-related historic site imports, I think... That's probably the 60.000 Rijksmonumenten (historic sites) and that bot run where someone created an item for *every* street in the Netherlands.

Hoi, The italians have categories for people who died in a particular place.. Given that it is in Italian, Italian places get a lot of attention :) Thanks, GerardM On 11 June 2015 at 11:40, Yaroslav M.

The item you mention only has 6 site links, so it is not shown. You can change the filter by clicking on the histogram at the top (drag interval bounds in lower view, fine-tune intervals using the arrow buttons on the top; click lower view once to reset the filter). Hi Markus, thanks, now I see the point. This possibly means that the info about Italian communes is more bot-friendly than the one from other countries, and mass-creation of such articles is easier. I can not otherwise imagine why such a big difference could occur.

Here is a link to a piece of map where the item you are looking for can be seen: http://wwwpub.zih.tu-dresden.de/~s5219191/vizidata/#d=0m=itemsl=enf=1e=0_336c=1392.8387096774195g=3.1h=1.2o=1p=3x=4.247932434082031y=51.97155731422007z=12 The item you are looking for is highlighted. When zooming in very far, it is a good idea to increase the size of the dots on the map (see Map Settings), since items are less dense on this zoom level. To get used to the interface and the options, I would suggest you to pick the births dataset (upper left). It's smaller (=faster) and the histogram with birth year numbers is probably clearer than the sitelinks data.

Some country-specific things to do on Wikidata: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/?country=96 Wikidata by country stats: http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=290 On Wed, Jun 10, 2015 at 12:11 PM James Heald j.he...@ucl.ac.uk wrote: Further to what Lydia has written, I have also had a session proposal accepted for Wikimania: https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Building_up_Wikidata,_country_by_country Per the current schedule, it looks as if there is going to be a Wikidata morning on Saturday in Room D: 10 am -- Lydia State of Wikidata - giving more people more access to more knowledge one edit at a time (10:30 coffee break) 11:00 am -- panel, led by Lydia Ask Us Anything About Wikidata All your questions about Wikidata will be answered. Editors and the development team will be around to answer your most pressing questions about Wikidata. 11:30 am -- panel Building up Wikidata, country by country What can national chapters and local Wiki-projects do to build up Wikidata? This session will ask a panel from different countries what works to build up awareness and skills, and how to deepen the quality of Wikidata's coverage of a particular part of the world -- its people, places, history, events, organisations, culture, and every other related thing that ought to have a detailed comprehensive Wikidata item. * What face-to-face events work, to build up knowledge and an active community? * How to assess current coverage, identify priority areas, and help groups to self-organise to improve them? * Are there special 'tentpole' projects the country has identified -- eg highlight focus areas, or particularly good data sources to align or assimilate? * What are the best tools and workflows to get things done? (12:30 lunch) I should stress that I proposed this session because these are questions that I would really like to hear some thought about -- not because they're questions I think I have any answers to! I had hoped we might have been able to build up some experience in the UK, as to how to build up community structures to help editors to work on things -- but it hasn't really gone forward here. On the other hand, I have been hugely impressed by some of the initiatives that Dutch-language Wikipedia seems to have taken, that people have mentioned in the last few weeks, to get people to make sure articles they have worked on on nl-wiki are properly described on Wikidata; and also what seems to have been quite an active and successful community engagement programme by Wikimedia France. I'm sure there are a lot of other good tales to tell from other countries/languages as well. So it would be great to have an idea of who might be likely to be going to be at Wikimania in Mexico who could take part in this workshop/panel, and present some of the things that have been going on -- and also (whether you're going to be in Mexico or not), what other tales are there, from different countries, that people should hear about ? (for one thing, something I don't know, do we even know what information has been harvested from Wikipedia categories for people/places/things/events related to a particular country? And how comprehensive that harvesting has been?) This session will only be as good as the community can make it, so it would be really good to know what ought to be in it. All best, James. ___ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata ___ Wikidata mailing list Wikidata@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata
