Good eye. Outlook webmail seems to double-encode if I paste a link while using
Chrome, but not IE. Spending too much time trying to fix things like that only
to realize that it would be bad for their brand identity if all of the issues
like that were ever fixed is why I had to get out of the cor
The original URL is a 400 (looks like it's double URL encoded), but the
version you quoted works fine. If you end up with %2527 in your browser
bar, correct it to just %27 (apostrophes in the URL aren't such a great
idea to start with though).

That sounds good in principle, but people might get upset ("why did we put
this into Wikipedia then?")
A compromise could be to import from (in this example) both Wikipedia and
IMDb, add both as a reference to the same claim if they agree, and
separately if not. We can then deal with the contradic
Thank you Michael (and apologies to Denny for being addressed as Danny).
We all know change is a constant and we need to design information technology
with that in mind. As you noted, population is a great example of something
that is constantly changing.

I think that's a fine threshold, but it will probably vary some per the type of
data. Our goal is ultimately that every claim will have a reference, and then
we can sort of pass the burden of accuracy on to the references. Wikipedia has
grown well with that principle. Adding references will be m
Well you can still view the revision history of an item on Wikidata, as you'd
expect. I view the information as being more tied to a specific reference than
to a specific revision of the item. I don't think the notion of "orphaned" data
is as big of a deal in a database as it is in an encycloped

Hi Danny,
I'm been on the distribution list since the development of wikidata started and
I think what everyone has set out to do and accomplished so far is amazing and
will have a profound impact just as Wikipedia has.
I've been quietly on the sidelines absorbing some (I have to admit I cant
Hi Janyong,
as Michael said, Wikidata does not automatically get updated in any case.
We are planning to improve a bit the experience with moving a page in the
Wikipedias, but it won't become automatic. Mostly because these issues are
in general complicated.

It's a bit sloppy in some areas, but I'll improve it as I need it to do more
things.

Thanks for the guidance. The bot is now working properly at the preferred rate
