Hi there,
I understand that the QR code logo didn't make the shortlist (I didn't know there was one, in fact), but at 33 entries, I don't see a clear number limit (such as a round number, say 30) and one more wouldn't do much harm imo. Besides (and most importantly) even being introduced after all the others, some votes have already been cast for it, so it clearly shows some potential, to the point that it has amassed more votes than several of the other proposals. I beg you to reconsider the removal from the voting list, since the collective vote is the best way to gauge potential for widespread support,
rather than decisions made by a few (however smart!) people
. Cheers,
Waldir

Hi Waldir! Thank you for your enthusiasm -- especially since the logo is my own creation. But I have to admit it was not meant entirely serious -- as a logo it has certain shortcomings, like it doesn't work very small, very big, it is not really memorizable (just think about the situations where someone changes it for fun with another QR -- not something that would be easily noticeable). So I do think that the QR will have a number of places where it can be used -- but not as the logo representing the whole project. --

Übersetzung der Wikidata-Seite aktuell halten

Hallo Lydia, ich musste beim Übersetzen der Wikidata-Seite feststellen, dass eifrig der englische Text geändert wird, aber ohne die englischen Übersetzungsstrings anzupassen. Das führt dazu, dass die Übersetzungen in den diversen Sprachen nicht aktuell sind. So ist zum Beispiel in der Übersetzungsnachricht für die Box
This needs your input
der String
Vote for logo
in
Future use cases
geändert worden ist, aber nur auf der Seite. Außerdem ist das Logo eingefügt worden, mit einer Bildunterschrift, die unter den Übersetzungsnachrichten noch fehlt. Siehe auch meine Nachricht unten auf der
Wikidata-Diskussionsseite
. Vielleicht sollte man oben auf der Wikidata-Seite ein Information anbringen, dass die Übersetzungsstrings anzupassen sind, wenn Text hinzugefügt bzw. entfernt wird. Grüße, --

Nun, der Text der Seite ist in einzelne Häppchen aufgeteilt, die auf der Seite:
Übersetzungsseite
übersetzt werden müssen. Als Beispiel habe ich die Übersetzungsseite für Jiddisch angegeben, da dort lediglich eine Nachricht übersetzt ist. In der Nachricht
Translations:Wikidata/16/yi
siehst du, dass dort noch
* [[Wikidata/Logo voting|Vote for a logo!]]
der erste String ist, statt
* [[Wikidata/Future|Future use cases]]
. Der jiddische Übersetzer würde also dann irgendwann den falschen String übersetzen. In der Übersetzungsnachricht
Translations:Wikidata/4/yi
fehlt der Eintrag zum
Technical proposal
(Technikvorschlag), den es zwar in der deutschen Übersetzung gibt, aber nicht im englischen Original. Was ist nun richtig, mit oder ohne diesen Eintrag?
Ich weiß leider nicht, wer für die Aktualisierung der Übersetzungsnachrichten (die Häppchen) auf Meta zuständig ist. Eine andere Möglichkeit wäre, die entsprechende übersetzte Seite zu ändern, für Jiddisch also:
Wikidata/yi
. Aber, das geht erst einmal nur, weil Jiddisch im Kasten
Other languages:
bereits auftaucht. Seiten für andere Sprachen könnte man anlegen, aber das Problem ist, das hier niemand so richtig über die Änderungen informiert. Und es würde natürlich die Übersetzungsseite etwas überflüssig machen. Dasselbe trifft übrigens auch auf die anderen Wikidata-Seiten zu (FAQ, Introduction, Glossary usw.). Grüße, --

Lydia, I am missing some introduction into the Wikidata project. I did some translation, but that's not my favorite. I still belive wd is a relational sql database. I see an nice data collection of cities of the planet and their historical population number. When viewing articles about cities and town history, only some historical data can be found. I think about a table containing columns like "city, year, population, part". Diagrams of all the data show were the world was and is growing. It also can deliver results proofing articles content. Were "part=total" it is the total population number. Were "part=" should also be used as male, female, retired, unemployed, older than
, younger than
, etc. City and part should be codes to link on an declaration table. Is this already existing? --

Hello, I've

must
be coordinated in some way, also with Wikispecies which is the natural provider of this sort of data. --

It is probably a good idea to still ask them to get a bot-flag if they edit on your Wikipedia. I assume even when Wikidata is rolled out everywhere there will still be some bots doing this work for a while. There are some articles that can't be transferred to Wikidata and for them these bots are still useful. --

A proposal for Wikidata

First of all, I hope that I write in an approriate place.
The only knowledge base I knew before the foundation of Wikidata was Wolfram Alpha, and it
displays
subject Wikipedia page hits history. Now AFAIK all the Wikimedia projects pages hits statistics are stored on
a third-party server
. I think it'll be quite useful to display or maybe even store it at Wikidata and it seems to be not so complicated as infobox data upload.
What do you think about this?

Dear Lydia,
Could there possibly be a mix-up between
one FAQ page
and
another
The
entry page
links to the former, but it seems that the latter contains the 'high-level' subjects more fitting to the introductory purpose.
What is your opinion about that?
Moreover: the first-mentioned FAQ page is not supported by the translation tool.

Hey :) The whole about page needs to be reworked in my opinion. The difference between the two FAQs is that one is for the actual project and the other was created at the beginning to answer a lot of the questions that came up during initial development. Do you want to work on improving the about page? I'd really appreciate that. --

Thanks for your reply. I saw your request
here
. My guess is that the link should be [[Special:MyLanguage/Help:FAQ]]. Yet another problem with this FAQ page is, that it is not included in the translation tool. As a consequence the Dutch version can be edited completely independently from the English-language original. Who is the person to be informed about that omission?
I have started using Wikidata relatively recently, and I don't yet know much about it. I can provide translation of explanatory text pages into Dutch, but if the English original contains rubbish, so will the translation! I have no knowledge about the project. Those pages are necessary for me to read, but I am lacking the background needed to do the writing.
Greetings,

Hallo Lydia, seit gestern funktionnieren die Interwikis automatisch über Wikidata. Für die Artikel ist das sicher eine grossartige Sache. Für die Startseite zumindest in einigen Fällen weniger. Auf ln: zum Beispiel ist die Startseite durch die unzähligen Sprachen rund dreimal länger geworden, wobei die Seite dann rechts einfach weiss ist. Auch ist für jemand, der ln: spricht quasi alles irrelevant, was da an Sprachen geboten wird. Bisher war da basierend auf einem seit langen Jahren funktionierenden Entscheid eine selektive Auswahl: Alle subsaharischen afrikanischen Sprachen ergänzt durch die ehemaligen Kolonialsprachen. Das war kurz, übersichtlich und hilfreich. In der schieren Menge wird niemand sehen, dass es auch eine Wikipedia auf kg: gibt oder auf sw:. Aber das wäre relevant. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, Wikidatainterwikis in begründeten Fällen bewusst auszuschalten? --

Hi. You're being contacted as you've previously used
global message delivery
(or its
English Wikipedia counterpart
). It doesn't feel so great to be spammed, does it? ;-)
For the past few months,
Legoktm
has built a replacement to the current message delivery system called
MassMessage
. MassMessage uses a proper user interface form (no more editing a /Spam subpage), works faster (it can complete a large delivery in minutes), and no longer requires being on an access list (any local administrator can use it). In addition, many tiny annoyances with the old system have been addressed. It's a real improvement! :-)
You can test out MassMessage here:
testwiki:Special:MassMessage
. The biggest difference you'll likely notice is that any input list must use a new
{{#target:}}
parser function. For example,
{{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales}}
or
{{#target:User talk:Jimbo Wales|test2.wikipedia.org}}
. For detailed instructions, check out
mw:Help:Extension:MassMessage
If you find any bugs, have suggestions for additional features, or have any other feedback, drop a note at
m:Talk:MassMessage
. Thanks for spamming! --

You were suggested as someone who might be interested in the Ally Skills Training Workshop at Wikimania! The workshop is designed to train Wikipedia admins to be more aware of sexism and is funded by an
Inspire grant
. The workshop will focus on teaching specific skills and techniques directly relevant to Wikipedia admins and editors, and in particular will teach people about the psychology of trolls. The workshop will be on Thursday July 16 from 2pm to 5pm in Don Diego 3.
If you are attending Wikimania,
you are invited to apply to the Ally Skills Workshop!
Space is limited and we may not be able to accept all applications, so apply now. More information, including a link to the application form, is here:
Ally Skills Workshop description and application form
People of all genders are welcome to attend. Unfortunately, travel scholarships for Wikimania are already closed and we don't know of any other sources of travel funding. If you know anyone else attending Wikimania who might be interested in attending this workshop, please encourage them to apply!
Thank you for your time,

The Wikimedia Foundation is currently running
a consultation on the value and planning process of Wikimania
, and is open until 18 January 2016. The goals are to (1) build a shared understanding of the value of Wikimania to help guide conference planning and evaluation, and (2) gather broad community input on what new form(s) Wikimania could take (starting in 2018).
After reviewing the consultation,
we'd like to hear your feedback on on this survey
In addition, feel free to
share any personal experiences you have had at at a Wikimedia movement conference
, including Wikimania. We plan to compile and share back outcomes from this consultation in February.
With thanks,

About your message to at

It mentions January 23 as the rollout date. What is the correct one?
Do we need to do anything from our side?

Thanks so much for noticing. That should of course be Febrauary 23rd. You don't need to do anything until then. Once it is enabled you can start migrating the interwiki links and removing them from the articles' wiki text. --

Hi. I could use the flag of Admin and translations administrator on test.wikidata. These flags I need to test all the possibilities allowed by the extension translate this because I have to check if the extension translate presents similar abnormalities and / or different to those that are present on test.wikipedia to try to understand the causes. The problems of test.wikipedia I reported to
phabricator
. I'm an admin on it.wikiversity and test2.Wikipedia and translations administrator Meta Wikispecies Wikidata and Test.wikipedia and I have great experience in the use of these two flags. Thanks and regards (sorry if I have not written on Wikidata but would not let me load flow) --

Planung u. Koordination wegen dem Entfernen der IW-Links in (vor allem kleineren) Wiktionarys

Hallo Lydia,
ich wende mich der Einfachheit halber an Dich, da ich mir etwas leichter tue, in Deutsch zu kommunizieren.
Ich bin Administrator im de.wiktionary und der Betreiber des globalen Interwiki-Bots
UT-interwiki-Bot
Gibt es von Eurer Seite her eine Planung bzw. Koordination, wie und ab wann nach der Einführung von Cognate die alten Interwiki-Links, insbesondere in den kleineren Wiktionarys, entfernt werden sollen? Ich frage deshalb, weil ich persönlich denke, dass ich meinen o. g. Bot nicht einfach losschicken kann, weil ich ja nicht wissen kann, ob das jeweilige Wiktionary dies evtl. in Eigenregie durchführen möchte oder doch meine Unterstützung braucht.
Meiner Meinung nach sollten als Betreiber von weiteren globalen Interwiki-Bots auch
Hydriz
JAn Dudík
und evtl. auch
Malafaya
in die Planung bzw. Koordination mit eingebunden werden.
Ich denke, es ware schon gut, wenn dies von zentraler Seite geplant und koordiniert wird, um herauszufinden, welche Wiktionarys Unterstützung benötigen und damit die o. g. drei Benutzer und ich ihre Bots dann auch nicht parallel in den Wiktionarys laufen lassen.
Herzliche Grüße --

Es gibt von mir keine Vorgabe wann alle lokalen Interwiki-Links weg sein sollen. Ich überlasse das den Editoren, da ihr am besten wisst wie schnell oder langsam das in der jeweiligen Sprachversion geht. Wenn du es für hilfreich hältst könnten wir zB unter

Hello Lydia Pintscher
A few months ago, WMF opened a new discussion space. Since our user group has some difficulties to communicate (not everyone sees the messages that are posted on
Talk:Wiktionary/Tremendous_Wiktionary_User_Group
), I asked for a dedicated forum for the TWUG to be opened. It's happening
here
(there is no topic so far).
From now on, I invite you to follow the category to be informed as soon as a new topic is created.

As the process of name change is ongoing for the Wikimedia Foundation, I invite you to participate to a

Organization directory hosted by WMF?
edit
Latest comment:

Hi, Lydia et al.:
What would you say to someone looking for a "Wikiorg" project that would invite organizations all over the world to maintain data about their organization in something like Wikidata while also providing a more user-friendly search and query capability than I can find currently? This may also be extended to provide an organization summary in a standard format, one small page max with optional links elsewhere.
I'm the Secretary of
PeaceWorks Kansas City
, which years ago created a
Community Organization Directory
for the
w:Kansas City metropolitan area
. Unfortunately, that directory has not been maintained in recent years and cannot easily be queried. I've suggested we use Wikidata to open the maintenance to everyone. However, to do that, we'd need better documentation than we have right now. I could create the documentation if I had consensus on what data elements to use, etc.
There is some mild urgency right now, because the
w:International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons
is working to use the January 22 Entry into Force of the
w:Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons
as a target event to amplify their organizing efforts, pushing non-parties to join. This includes their
Cities Appeal
. I've suggested to PeaceWorks Kansas City that we update our organization directory as part of working to strengthen our ties with other local organizations with compatible missions.
What do you think?
Thanks,
DavidMCEddy

Hi Spencer :) Good to hear from you! At first glance, it looks to me like this data might be best stored in a dedicated Wikibase instance and connected to Wikidata where possible? Wikibase is the software running under the hood of Wikidata. You can learn more about it at

Hello Lydia, nice to bump in you again. I just noticed the Wikimania 2018's Wikidata poster was your creation. I wonder if you shared the source somewhere, as an editable file. There is naturally -
File:Lexeme_data_model.svg
which is available already, but the whole poster would be interesting as well. PS: Lingualibre.org is progressing well, reaching 1000 audios/day now, and expanding to India. In coming year Wikidata & LinguaLibre may gain to get closer, but this is for another day. Best wishes!

Hello Lydia, I saw your presentation on data quality and, as one of the "users" of that data (with Open history map, a project I presented the session right before yours: [2021:Submissions/Open_History_Map-Contextualizing_in_the_past_with_modern_tools]) and, potentially, as in the future one of the contributors of automated data entry I would love to be part of the discussion on feedback loops on data quality both on wikidata as well as on SDC, where we found, importing some of the metadata, an great amount of strange data.
Thank you

Making discussions on Wikiprojects more visible

Hey Lydia, after one recent post on WikiProject Ontology from me got little engagement I was thinking about how we could make discussions on Wikiprojects more visible. It seems to me like having more discussions on Wikiprojects like WikiProject Ontology would be central to solving some issues that Wikidata currently has with it's ontology. I was thinking that it might make sense to include new discussions in Wikiprojects in the Wikidata weekly summary. What do you think?

I think this is a great idea. I've also put Arian on prototyping a way to make Wikiprojects more visible since this was also identified as one of the big levers at the Data Quality Days. Would you be up for a chat with Arian when he's further along with his work?

Hi,
Yes this is possible. In this case it is likely because a few more common Properties that are suggested are still missing from the Item and ISNI is considered less correlated than the others that are suggested at the moment. Once the Item is more fleshed out with these Properties ISNI will probably come up.

Information about the recent security incident

Hello, we are sending this message to inform you that your account was one of 97 registered Wikimedia accounts affected by malicious code as part of a
recent security incident
. This occurred only because you visited Meta-Wiki at a specific time.
This incident was caused by a malicious user script "worm" that was unintentionally activated during a security review by the Wikimedia Foundation staff. The worm modified MediaWiki:Common.js, causing Meta-Wiki visitors to edit or delete various pages during the approximately 23 minutes that this worm was operational.
We have analyzed the malicious user script and reviewed our internal and public logs. We have found no evidence that your account credentials were compromised, or that your account was used to conduct any other actions on Wikimedia projects besides editing or deleting random pages. We have no reason to believe that Wikipedia was under attack, or that any information about your account was breached as part of this incident.
All edits caused by the script have been reverted, and the deleted pages have been restored.
We apologize for any disruption this incident caused you, and are working to prevent this kind of incident from happening again. You can learn more about that security work, and further details about this incident, on
our project page
