[Commons-l] Fwd: [Wikidata] Help needed: a project to pull data from the World Bank

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but yesterday I was working on adding the World Bank numbers for maternal mortality and was wondering if I could add the data to the new tabular data on Commons. I am not sure if it's possible to make the data points multi-lingual (the way the list of countries in

Re: [Commons-l] [Wikidata] Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Yes I agree with what Stas says, which is why I posted my invitation. Also, we have many more items without images on Wikidata than Wikipedia articles with images, so we also need illustrations for things that don't have a page on Wikipedia yet such as everyday items (cookie types), minor paintings

[Commons-l] Seasons Greetings and a call to action

Hi all, I cordially invite you to donate some time and add an image from Wikimedia Commons to Wikidata this year. For inspiration you may choose one of the recent Wiki Loves Monuments prize winning photos from your local competition being added to the Wikidata item about that monument, one of your

Re: [Commons-l] Wikidata data in templates

Lydia, there is more to (2) than just talking about the data stored in those files on Commons. Scans like the one you mention should link back to the Wikidata item. So there is a need to be able to add such Wikidata links from every file that refers to the image. So for example in this case below o

Re: [Commons-l] Duplicate removal?

Just casually clicking on some of the results you pulled, I can see at a glance that lots of these duplicate uploads are caused because the oldest version is virtually "unfindable" for Wikimedians; i.e. it is not in any category whatsoever. On Thu, Dec 4, 2014 at 7:39 PM, Jonas Öberg wrote: > Hi

Magnus, It's a great tool and this should save many disputes from occurring, but in the case you point out about a file that is used on the Spanish Wikipedia (which has disabled local uploads), then such files, if extracted to the English Wikipedia, will only be linkable through an interwiki link t

Re: [Commons-l] The tragedy of Commons

The concept of an "Uncommons" as defined as either a new set of rules, or as an alternate to WMF-hosted websites is not going to solve our current problem of lacking images to support our educational goals. We should be discussing how we can continue our mission to disseminate the sum of all knowle
