[Wikimedia-l] Statement of Wikimedia Community User Group Hong Kong to event organizers and global Wikimedia Movement communities

2019-08-06 Thread William Chan
Dear all,

Wikimedia Community User Group Hong Kong has released the following
statement about ongoing protests carried out in Hong Kong.


Wikimedia Community User Group Hong Kong (the Hong Kong Wikimedia
Community) has released a resolution on April 16 about its stance on the
Extradition Bill [1]. However, the ongoing developing situation requires
the local community to issue the following statement. We request the global
community, particularly East Asian Wikimania Participants, to be alerted
about the ongoing development of the Hong Kong Protests against the
extradition bill.

Recent development of protests against the extradition in the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region has developed in an unintended way, where
news reports, including local and international news outlets showing the
pro-government councilors cooperating with local triads in attacking
passers-by (in Yuen Long), and protesters “battling” the force using
block-and-run tactics.

Local strikes, non-cooperation movements from protesters, and police
threats in recent days has disrupted local traffic and harmed the safety of
individuals staying in Hong Kong.

Furthermore, strikes from airport staff has led to partial closure of the
Hong Kong International Airport, where the airport only operated on a
single-runway, which had led to delays and cancellations of flights.

The Hong Kong Wikimedia Community is well aware of the associated safety
risks and risks of delays, and recommends international conference
participants not to arrange participants, and participants not to use Hong
Kong as a transit point.

At the same time, the Hong Kong Wikimedia Community has been notified from
our members that there are at least three members living within the
conflict zone. Currently, none of our members are hurt or charged with
crimes associated with the extradition bill protests.

We also hope all members of the general public, including the police,
government itself, protesters, etc. to stay calm and not to initiate
violence against their opposing parties.

The statement is also released through Facebook:

[Wikimedia-l] [announcement] soweego 1.0 release

2019-08-06 Thread Marco Fossati
[Please disregard this message if you have already read it in the 
Wikidata mailing list, and apologies for the distraction]


Hi everyone,


TL;DR: soweego version 1 is out!
https://soweego.readthedocs.io/
Like it? Star it!


The soweego team is delighted to announce the release of *version 1* [1]!
If you like it, why don't you click on the Star button?

*soweego* links Wikidata to large catalogs through machine learning.
It partners with Mix'n'match [2], which mainly deals with small catalogs.

The soweego bot [3] is currently uploading *255 k confident* links to 
Wikidata: see it in action [4]!
*126 k medium-confident* links are instead getting into Mix'n'match for 
curation: see the current catalogs [5-13].


The soweego team has also worked hard to address the following community 
requests:
1. sync Wikidata to external catalogs & check them to spot 
inconsistencies in Wikidata;

2. import new catalogs with reasonable effort.

Thinking of the best way to contribute? Try to *import a new catalog* [14].

Best,

Marco
