  • Discussions
    • Open request for adminship: Yahya (RfP scheduled to end after 26 July 2023 17:46 UTC)
    • Closed request for adminship: Tomodachi94 (successful) Welcome on board \o/

    • Ongoing
      • Ongoing: Weekly Lexemes Challenge #102, Money (Challenge started on 2023-07-24 12:01:19)
  • Tool of the week
    • Images near items - helps to find Wikimedia Commons images near Wikidata items without image. It can load a category tree of Commons images with coodrinates, and then find Wikidata items of a certain P31 with coordinates but without images. Then, it will try to find nearby (<50 meters) pairs. (example link for UK red phone booths)
  • Development
    • EntitySchemas: We expanded the new datatype that is in testing. When a statement links to an EntitySchema it will now show its label when available (phab:T338613). We are also working on showing them by their label in recent changes and similar places (phab:T214885).
    • mul language code: we are working on improving the termbox to integrate this new language code better (phab:T340644)
    • Mismatch Finder: We are working on adding a language selector to it so you can switch the language of the tool (phab:T328149)
    • Wikibase REST API: We completed two new endpoint for the Wikibase REST API:
      • Retrieve all statements from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements
      • Retrieve a single statement from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id}
      • You can also retrieve a single statement from a Property from the existing /statements/{statement_id} endpoint

David Dayen bio

Hi Thriley, I was happy to find your draft. I've done a bit more work on it. Do you reckon it's ready for mainspace? Notability is met in my view, given the two awards. Regards, Andreas JN466 16:43, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for helping flesh out the article! I think he meets notability as well. I’d like to wait to move it until it has at least 1,500 characters- the minimum to qualify for Did You Know. I think two paragraphs for each of his books would probably get it there. Feel free to improve it more. I’ll try to add additional information myself in the next few days. Thriley (talk) 17:07, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
I put a couple of quality reviews in (New York Times and The Nation). Should be good to go now. Dayen is actually cited over 100 times in Wikipedia; the article will eventually have lots of incoming links. Andreas JN466 18:57, 24 July 2023 (UTC)
Looks good! Really pleased to know that all those cites will turn into blue links to the article now. Thank you again for your work. Best, Thriley (talk) 19:05, 24 July 2023 (UTC)

Sinead O'Connor SNL draft

Thank you very much. It's a beautiful page. Randy Kryn (talk) 23:24, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Sinéad O’Connor Saturday Night Live performance

Hello! I've just seen you created a separate page from O'Connor's performance, so I wanted to thank you for it.

I also wanted to note that I've made a few edits myself, and that the content of the original section has changed a little since you originally copied it, so this new page might need to be integrated with new sources and bits of information.

Finally, now that we have this article, should we work on cuts to the section on the artist's page, or is it better to keep it like that?

Oltrepier (talk) 08:54, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Brilliant Idea Barnstar
Sinéad O’Connor Saturday Night Live performance is a wonderful creation. I really enjoyed it. I saw it mentioned at Women in Red. Can we invite you closer to our project? Our editors do not usually use "draft"s but publish their articles direct or from a sandbox. When we see someone who should have an article, but we dont have time then we add them to our redlists. Seeing that you have so many drafts deleted made me sad. BUT Your article about Sinéad O’Connor Saturday Night Live performance made me happy and to cheer out load. Well done! Victuallers (talk) 16:09, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Restored per your RfU request which came within one hour post deletion. @Liz: This is a draft that did not get the benefit of the 6 month notice. I see that you sometimes give a one or two day notice before deletion for drafts that didn't get the 6 month notice. This is usually sufficient for regulars who work on too many drafts to keep track, and we can avoid the delete-undelete cycle. Jay 💬 05:26, 30 July 2023 (UTC)
Jay, this draft was originally deleted via CSD G13 in November 2022 so Thriley would have received a 5 month notice from Firefly Bot in October 2022. Firefly Bot, despite my requests to the bot operator, only sends out one reminder notice. If a draft is deleted and restored and five more months passes with no edits, Firefly Bot doesn't post a second notice. That's the system as it is right now.
We typically have around 200 drafts and user pages that expire every single day, it's enough work to review them all to make sure they are eligible without posting additional reminders to editors days or weeks before they expire to remind them about the drafts. That's Firefly Bot's job and if it should happen more frequently, that's a discusion to have with Firefly. There are just not enough hours in my day to do this. I sometimes post personal reminders if I see that another editor has done most of the content contributions on a draft but wasn't the page creator because they won't have received a notification ever but that is not very common.
Explicit has helped Thriley and FloridaArmy out by postponing deletion of their drafts. But I have a different opinion about doing this. I have postponed drafts and guess what? Six months later, they need to be postponed again. While having a draft deleted and going to WP:REFUND might take a few minutes out of someone's day, it reminds the draft creator that the draft is out there, unfinished. When you postpone deletion, there is no such reminder and often drafts just need to be postponed again with no intervening edits later on that year. So, while it might be a hassle, I think making a trek to REFUND serves a purpose. And while it seems like you are restoring a lot of deleted drafts, it is probably less that 5% of the drafts that are deleted on any given day. I don't mean to be snippy but I've been editing all day and it's probably time for me to start winding down and calling it a night.
In sum, I don't have time to do more work on the project than I already do and we should talk to Firefly to get the bot to send out five month notices, in perpetuity, not just once. Liz Read! Talk! 05:32, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
@Liz: I did not know this is the way Firefly works. Thanks for explaining. And for the statistics as well. I don't mind the way Firefly works though - a one time notice should be sufficient. Jay 💬 06:33, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #587

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Tool of the week
    • osm.js will add a link to the navigation for items that have a Wikidata mapping on the OSM side.
  • Development
    • Wikibase REST API:
      • We released the following new stuff to Wikidata:
        • GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements (phab:T339356) (new route)
        • GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id} (phab:T338383) (new route)
        • GET /statements/{statement_id} (now supports statements on Properties)
      • We started work on a new route for replacing the data of a statement on a Property (phab:T340006)
    • EntitySchemas:
      • We worked on improving the termbox (the table of labels, descriptions and aliases) on EntitySchema pages to bring it more in line with the one on Items and Properties
      • We made sure that EntitySchemas are shown by their label instead of ID when available in Recent Changes and similar lists (phab:T339924)
    • Mismatch Finder: We added a language selector so you can switch the interface language (phab:T328149)
    • mul language code: We are working on showing more labels from fallback languags in the termbox (phab:T340832, phab:T338330)
