* Wikidata Query Service: The ] have been updated to now also include Items that contain a statement using "]" into the scholarly article graph.
* Search: The ] has been improved by the Search Platform Team. Previously it was limited in which Properties were indexed for it. Going forward haswbstatement:P123 will work for all Properties, regardless of their datatype. This will allow you to filter search results for Items that have a statement with a specific Property. (Searching for a specific complete statement with haswbstatement:P123=xxx will still only work for specific datatypes.) For this to work all Items have to be reindexed and this will take up to 1 month.

== Pages about women ==

Hi. I just discovered you after your edit to the page I wrote on ]. I think it's really cool that you focus on writing articles about women.

I just wrote another article about a woman since the prior article about her was deleted six years ago, allegedly due to not being notable. I put almost 30 sources on the new article to establish her notability. I'd be interested in any feedback you have about the article: ].

Kind regards,
] (]) 02:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

== Could you please help me avoid deletion of this woman's article? ==

Could I please get your help? Someone has nominated the article ] for deletion, claiming that Nadauld is not notable. It was the same person who did it 8 years ago. I'd appreciate if you could support keeping it. See the talk page on that article for my arguments why she's notable, or peruse the article's 25+ references yourself. Personally, I believe the person who proposed deletion deserves a trout for claiming that she's not notable, given the contents of those sources. ] (]) 16:42, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

This included a Wikidata introduction workshop to equip participants with the editing skills to tackle the project's main aim. This was presented as a game to delete duplicate info on Wikidata and ] infoboxes, in three areas: protected buildings, officers' positions and data related to sports teams players. At the end of the event, ~200 Wikidata-fed infoboxes and Wikidata items were improved and many Misplaced Pages editors edited Wikidata for the first time!

We will learn how knowledge is shared between platforms, and how it can save a lot of work for both the Spanish Misplaced Pages community and other people working on an article on another Misplaced Pages."
** - "In this session, participants will explore the fascinating world of lexicographical data on Wikidata and learn how to contribute meaningfully using Lexica, a tool designed for easy micro-edits to Lexemes from mobile devices. We will start with a brief introduction to lexicographical data and importance of linking Lexemes to Items. Next, we’ll dive into Lexica, showcasing its key features and providing a step-by-step guide on linking Lexemes to Items on Wikidata. This hands-on workshop is open to both experienced contributors and newcomers, empowering everyone with the knowledge and skills to make impactful contributions to Wikidata’s lexicographical data. By the end of the session, participants will be ready to use Lexica to enrich language data on Wikidata."

In the first stage of this grant-funded Wiki project, over 60 archival collections and 80 oral histories, including related people, businesses, and events associated with the Las Vegas LGBTQ+ community, have been contributed to Wikidata. In this presentation, the author continues this work by introducing UNLV's Special Collections Wiki project, "LGBTQ Hidden Histories." The presentation will discuss ongoing efforts to create, expand, and enrich linked data about the Nevada LGBTQ+ community, address challenges faced during entity extraction using archival materials, and conclude with a linked data visualization exercise using Wikiframe-VG (Wikiframe Visual Graph)."

Hi Oronsay -- Thanks for all you do on women's bios -- just a quick note on this one, should the short description for someone from ] be summarised as "Irish"? -- it's part of the UK, not the Republic of Ireland. In similar cases with England/Scotland/Wales I tend to go with British in the capsule wherever I feel it is justified, but in this case the subject clearly identifies as Northern Irish.

By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."''

== Draft:DiJones_Real_Estate ==

I am wondering if you can help me understand the deletion process? I have tried to submit this article again with much better news references (The Australian, Sydney Morning Hearld, Daily Telegraph) as well as industry websites like domain.com.au. I think that the article is important because it recognises the pioneering work of Di Jones (the person) and the company is effectively the legacy that Australians can see. I think it is importent for people who are encountering the company/brand to know about the history. I had no problem at all with my similar work on LJ Hooker, the man and the company when I worked on those articles. I don't want to specifically raise the issue of misogyny but it appears that the article has been rejected out of hand by UK editor ] who simply says "Real estate companies aren't notable' and rejects the article on the basis that the citations aren't good enough. I think that I have incorporated the requirements of ] Can you please suggest what I need to do before re-submitting the article? ] (]) 01:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
::The article is using the references for the women for the a company article and that doesn't cut it. Private real estate companies are not notable unless very well know or about long enough that they they have significance beyond there own existance, but that is not shown here. Your using this women, her notabilty to push this private company which is unacceptable referencing. It fails ]. Also notability is not inherited so why are doing that. Lastly it reads like an promotional advert failing ] and it not acceptable either. Misplaced Pages is not an advertising platform. That article is a mess.

''' Development ''' ''' Development '''
* The development team is just settling back in after the holidays, so there haven’t been any significant updates yet.
* Lua: We changed the Wikibase function ''getAllStatements'' logic to behave as ''getBestStatements''. When invoked, it was returning mutable direct-values, now it will return a copy of those values (which are immutable). (])
* Wikibase REST API:

** We've finished the work on the create Property endpoint so it is now possible to create Properties via the REST API.
* Configuration: We removed 'mainpage' from $wgForceUIMsgAsContentMsg for Wikidata as requested so translations of the main page are available (])
* mul language code: We moved it to the top of the termbox so labels and aliases in mul are visible first (])
* Revision table size: We are investigating the current state of the revision table of Wikidata's database and what the next steps should be to address its issues.

A barnstar for you

The Women in Red Barnstar
For keeping an eagle eye on Humaniki and regularly updating key statistics on the main Women in Red page.--Ipigott (talk) 13:50, 22 November 2024 (UTC)
Thank you kindly, @Ipigott. As a matter of fact, I am talking about WiR statistics and Humaniki later today in Adelaide. Also, when the time comes, I will start reporting them as 19.99x, instead of rounding to two decimals, as they move towards 20%.

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar
Hello Oronsay, I came across your work on the Women in Red project, and I must say, it's truly impressive. Please keep up the great work! If there's any way I can contribute to this project, do let me know. Baqi:) (talk) 15:24, 3 December 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for this Barnstar, @Jannatulbaqi, and your kind words. It is special to receive recognition for what I do for WiR. Happy editing! Oronsay (talk) 07:34, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

oops

oops, dont fix template errors on the talk page unless subst, it needs a couple of updates any Gnangarra 07:01, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I did make changes to the biomechanicist editors Talk pages when I realised that I'd welcomed them all as !1day! I should have thought more about it beforehand, and perhaps undone my Twinkle add and then redone it. They seem ok though. Let me know if I need to fix anything. Oronsay (talk) 07:31, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Nomination of Barbara Nowak for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Barbara Nowak is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Barbara Nowak until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Pages about women

Hi. I just discovered you after your edit to the page I wrote on Emily Belle Freeman. I think it's really cool that you focus on writing articles about women.

I just wrote another article about a woman since the prior article about her was deleted six years ago, allegedly due to not being notable. I put almost 30 sources on the new article to establish her notability. I'd be interested in any feedback you have about the article: Margaret D. Nadauld.

Kind regards, Davemc0 (talk) 02:52, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Could you please help me avoid deletion of this woman's article?

Could I please get your help? Someone has nominated the article Margaret D. Nadauld for deletion, claiming that Nadauld is not notable. It was the same person who did it 8 years ago. I'd appreciate if you could support keeping it. See the talk page on that article for my arguments why she's notable, or peruse the article's 25+ references yourself. Personally, I believe the person who proposed deletion deserves a trout for claiming that she's not notable, given the contents of those sources. Davemc0 (talk) 16:42, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Kristina Romanova, article expansion

Hello Oronsay, hope you are well. Given your active participation on Wiki Project Women and Wiki Project Women in Business, I'd be grateful for your review of my suggested expansions/additions to Kristina Romanova's BLP. While she is a former model, much of her current work as a CEO and business executive is undocumented in her article. I work for Aman and have declared my affiliation so I can't make these changes without Wiki approval. If you think my suggestions are valid, I can take the time to implement. Thank you in advance for your feedback, Astraea2024 (talk) 15:51, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Short description on Annilese Miskimmon

Hi Oronsay -- Thanks for all you do on women's bios -- just a quick note on this one, should the short description for someone from Northern Ireland be summarised as "Irish"? -- it's part of the UK, not the Republic of Ireland. In similar cases with England/Scotland/Wales I tend to go with British in the capsule wherever I feel it is justified, but in this case the subject clearly identifies as Northern Irish. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 06:57, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: Thanks for your query. I take your point and have amended to Northern Irish in the short description and on Wikidata. Her Talk page is also now created, including the Northern Irish project, but please add the relevant WiR event there. Oronsay (talk) 17:35, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
Thanks -- I tend not to bother with the talk page until I've finished the article -- still plodding through all the heaps of reviews. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 17:38, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

  • Papers
    • Library Data in Wikimedia Projects: Case Study from the Czech Republic by Jansová, L., Maixnerová, L., & Š´tastná, P. (2024). "The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Misplaced Pages articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."
    • How have you modelled my gender? Reconstructing the history of gender representation in Wikidata by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). "The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."
  • Videos: Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Data Science Course - First Practical Session: Wikibase-CLI Tool (part 1, part 2) by Saeed Habishan. "The Wikibase-CLI enables command-based interaction with Wikidata using shell scripts and JavaScript. The tool runs on NodeJS and enables automatic reading and editing of Wikidata."

Other Noteworthy Stuff

  • Zita Ursula Zage has joined the Software Communication team (SCoT) at Wikimedia Deutschland as an intern until the end of June 2025. Welcome Zita!
  • VIAF (cf. Q54919 and P214) underwent a relevant change of interface on January 10; the way of visualizing clusters in JSON format has changed in comparison with present OCLC documentation and e.g. http://viaf.org/viaf/102333412/viaf.json doesn't work anymore; this broke most or all Wikidata gadgets using VIAF data; in the absence of official communications from OCLC, developers are trying to understand if the new VIAF interface is stable before changing their gadgets accordingly
