  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot:
      • PodcastBot. Task/s: Upload new podcast episodes, extract: title, part of the series, has quality (explicit episode), full work available at (mp3), production code, apple podcast episode id, spotify episode ID. Regex extraction: talk show guest, recording date (from description)

    • Linked People project let's you explore the family trees of all known people at Wikipedia/Wikidata.
    • Gene of the Day (gene-wordle) uses Wikidata for gene names and crafting an answer list by number of sitelinks.
  • Development
    • Lexicographical data: We're continuing with the work on the new Special:NewLexeme page. We worked on saving a valid new Lexeme with the new page. We are now focusing on the suggesters for language and lexical category so editors can select the right Item for them.
    • Data Reuse Days: We ran sessions on how to use Wikidata's data programmatically and the best practices around it. Slides and videos are available already (see above).
    • REST API: Continuing coding on the basic version of the GET Item endpoint. We have the very initial version of the get item endpoint ready and are now adding more parameters to it.

Wikidata weekly summary #514

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • New requests for permissions/Bot: APSbot 4: Task/s: Regularly create organizations from the Research Organization Registry (ROR - https://ror.org/) that are missing in Wikidata.
  • Tool of the week
    • Kyrksok.se is an app about Swedish churches based on Wikidata.
    • QAnswer is a question answering system based on Wikidata and other projects. Who was the first to create liquid helium? Try it!
  • Development
    • Lexicographical data: Continued work on the new Special:NewLexeme page and focused on displaying sensible error messages if an error occurs during Lexeme creation. We're also working on adding a dropdown for the language variant.
    • REST API: Continued work on conditional requests and authorization
    • Made use of the new fields added in the wbsearchentities API and added language information to the markup of entity searches that you see when editing a statement or searching with the little searchbox at the top of the page on Wikidata. Now these search results should make a bit more sense to people who use screen readers.

Joiner of dots
Thank you for this great activity that you seem to be an expert at in joining up articles, therefore making Wikipedia connected. I really appreciate it. Here's the handmade joiner of dots award. CT55555 (talk) 13:34, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Moataz Abdel-Fattah (April 7)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Cabrils was:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
 The comment the reviewer left was:
This draft may potentially meet the relevant requirements (WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO) but presently does not. As other reviewers have noted, to meet Wikipedia's basic requirement of being notable requires evidence (citations) from reliable sources-- please see referencing for beginners. Additionally, the draft reads like a CV, which Wikipedia is not. Please familiarise yourself with theses pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements then resubmit the page and ping me and I would be happy to reassess.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
