==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:Julie Sussman]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]
A tag has been placed on [[:Julie Sussman]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
<blockquote> This page used to be redirected to SICP. SICP is a book, not a person. She is an author of the book, hence it is misleading to redirect from a person's page to a book she has written. Since there is no content for this page, I am requesting a speedy deletion. Just in case, someone decides to write an article about her, it can be restored. This article seems unnecessary as of now (given that it has no content anyway).</blockquote>
Under the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:Julie Sussman|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with [[Wikipedia:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the {{Querylink|Special:Log|qs=type=delete&page=Julie+Sussman|deleting administrator}}, or if you have already done so, you can place a request [[WP:RFUD|here]]. <!-- Template:Db-reason-notice --> [[User:2Dpedia|2Dpedia]] ([[User talk:2Dpedia|talk]]) 09:11, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

== Speedy deletion nomination of 123-reg ==
Hello Edward,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged [[123-reg]] for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our [[Wikipedia:Stub#Essential information about stubs|suggestions for essential content]] in short articles to learn what should be included.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can <span class="plainlinks">'''[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={{urlencode:Talk:123-reg}}&action=edit§ion=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion]'''</span>, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

== [[Nathanael Kapner]] ==
I just undid a piping of a link you had put in at [[Nathanael Kapner]]. The existing Wikilink for [[War on Christmas]] was already being redirected to [[Christmas controversy]], to which you piped it. For the reasons discussed at [[WP:NOTBROKEN]], it's best to let such redirects do their work, rather than piping to the redirected page.

== Extended confirmed protection ==
{{ivmbox|1=Hello, Edward. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
[[WP:BLUELOCK|Extended confirmed protection]] (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned [[WP:EXTENDEDCONFIRMED|"extended confirmed" user right]] was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/Archive 129#New usergroup with autopromotion to implement arbitration "30-500" bans as a page protection|this community discussion]] with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, [[WP:ECP2016|a request for comment]] established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
* '''Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective'''. It should not be used as a first resort.
* '''A bot will post a notification at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard]] of each use'''. MusikBot currently does this by updating [[User:MusikBot/ECPMonitor/Report|a report]], which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.
Please review [[Wikipedia:Protection policy#Extended confirmed protection|the protection policy]] carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. <br><small>This message was sent to the administrators' [[Wikipedia:Administrators/Message list|mass message list]]. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:47, 23 September 2016 (UTC)</small> |2=Padlock-blue.svg}}

== Two-Factor Authentication now available for admins ==
Hello,
Please note that [[Time-based One-time Password Algorithm|TOTP]] based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your [[Special:Preferences|preferences page]] in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the [[Help:Two-factor authentication|developing help page]] for additional information. '''Important''': Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the [[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Two-Factor_Authentication_now_available_for_admins|thread on the administrators' noticeboard]].

== A new user right for New Page Patrollers ==
Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}.
A new user group, [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers|'''New Page Reviewer''']], has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at [[Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer|PERM]]. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.
It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Templates|here]] but very often a friendly custom message works best.
If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at [[WT:NPR]]. <small>''(Sent to all admins)''</small>.[[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 13:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

==Montreal==
Hi Edward, long time no speak. I've put a [https://wikimania2017.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Easily_confused_words_and_how_to_find_them submission in for Montreal this year], and I was wondering if you'd have a chance to move the prototype on by then as it is still one of the best tools I use. ''[[User:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color:DarkGreen">Ϣere</span>]][[User talk:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color:DarkRed">Spiel</span>]]<span style="color:#CC5500">Chequers</span>'' 15:36, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
: Yes, I should do some more work on the prototype. I've too many ideas about how it should work. Do you have any requests, what should I change next? [[User:Edward|Edward]] ([[User talk:Edward#top|talk]])
::Thanks, yes in approximate order of priority:
::batching it by fifty searches is a bit of a pain, especially on things like pubic that I'd like to patrol frequently because half the time it is vandalism not a typo. But there are over a thousand articles containing pubic so currently I'm paging through over twenty screens most of which are empty to find a handful of examples.
::The safe pages feature currently seems to be interlinked, so if a safe page is safe for one query it can't be made safe for others. That prevents the tool from being scaled as the more queries the more often that will be an issue.
::The user needs to be able to start new queries.
::The user needs to be able to set the wiki that the search will run on and any alternative or additional name spaces. For example most of my current searches could run on portal and draft space as well as mainspace. In the past I've searched for certain high risk phrases in userspace and it would be good if we could build searches that just went there.
::I'm now using AWB for some searches, especially the ones with only a handful of safe phrases and few or no "safe pages". It does have a big advantage though in that if it is just a typo you can just click save and it fixes it. Though I suppose adding such a feature would be a big complication.
::Is the safe phrase feature case sensitive? Some searches really need to differentiate between IT manager and it manager.
::Thanks ''[[User:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color:DarkGreen">Ϣere</span>]][[User talk:WereSpielChequers|<span style="color:DarkRed">Spiel</span>]]<span style="color:#CC5500">Chequers</span>'' 09:24, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

== Invitation to Admin confidence survey ==
Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
<big>To take the survey sign up '''[[en:Wikipedia:Community health initiative on English Wikipedia/Administrator confidence survey|here]]''' and we will send you a link to the form.</big>
We really appreciate your input!

===Wikidata as Hub===
One way of looking at Wikidata relates it to the [[semantic web]] concept, around for about as long as Wikipedia, and realised in dozens of distributed Web institutions. It sees Wikidata as supplying central, encyclopedic coverage of [[linked structured data]], and looks ahead to greater support for "federated queries" that draw together information from all parts of the emerging network of websites.
[[File:Mandel zoom 07 satellite.jpg|left|250px]]
Another perspective might be likened to a photographic negative of that one: Wikidata as an already-functioning Web hub. Over half of its properties are identifiers on other websites. These are Wikidata's "external links", to use Wikipedia terminology: one type for the DOI of a publication, another for the VIAF page of an author, with thousands more such. Wikidata links out to sites that are not nominally part of the semantic web, effectively drawing them into a larger system. The crosswalk possibilities of the systematic construction of these links was covered in Issue 8.
[[Wikipedia:External links]] speaks of them as kept "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article." Here Wikidata finds more of a function. On viaf.org one can type a VIAF author identifier into the search box, and find the author page. The [https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikidata-todo/resolver.php Wikidata Resolver tool], these days including Open Street Map, Scholia etc., allows this kind of lookup. The [https://tools.wmflabs.org/hub/ hub tool] by {{noping|maxlath}} takes a major step further, allowing both lookup and crosswalk to be encoded in a single URL.

===Milestone for mix'n'match===
Around the time in February when Wikidata clicked past item Q50000000, another milestone was reached: the [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match mix'n'match] tool uploaded its 1000th dataset. Concisely defined by its author, {{noping|Magnus Manske}}, it works "to match entries in external catalogs to Wikidata". The total number of entries is now well into eight figures, and more are constantly being added: a couple of new catalogs each day is normal.
Since the [http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=114 end of 2013], mix'n'match has gradually come to play a significant part in adding statements to Wikidata. Particularly in areas with the flavour of [[digital humanities]], but datasets can of course be about practically anything. There is a catalog on skyscrapers, and two on spiders.
These days mix'n'match can be used in numerous modes, from the relaxed gamified click through a catalog looking for matches, with prompts, to the fantastically useful and often demanding search across all catalogs. I'll type that again: you can search 1000+ datasets from the simple box at the top right. The drop-down menu top left offers "creation candidates", Magnus's personal favourite. [[m:Mix'n'match/Manual]] for more.
For the Wikidatan, a key point is that these matches, however carried out, add statements to Wikidata if, and naturally only if, there is a Wikidata property associated with the catalog. For everyone, however, the hands-on experience of deciding of what is a good match is an education, in a scholarly area, biographical catalogs being particularly fraught. Underpinning recent rapid progress is an open infrastructure for scraping and uploading.
Congratulations to Magnus, our data [[Stakhanovite]]!

===The 100 Skins of the Onion===
[https://i4oc.org/news.html#April2018 Open Citations Month], with its eminently guessable hashtag, is upon us. We should be utterly grateful that in the past 12 months, so much data on which papers cite which other papers has been made open, and that Wikidata is playing its part in hosting it as "cites" statements. At the time of writing, there are 15.3M Wikidata items that can do that.
Pulling back to look at [[open access]] papers in the large, though, there is is less reason for celebration. Access in theory does not yet equate to practical access. A [http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2018/03/22/releasing-1-8-million-open-access-publications-from-publisher-systems-for-text-and-data-mining/ recent LSE IMPACT blogpost] puts that issue down to "heterogeneity". A useful euphemism to save us from thinking that the whole concept doesn't fall into the realm of the [[oxymoron]].
Some home truths: aggregation is not content management, if it falls short on reusability. The PDF file format is wedded to how humans read documents, not how machines ingest them. The salami-slicer is our friend in the current downloading of open access papers, but for a better metaphor, think about skinning an onion, laboriously, 100 times with diminishing returns. There are of the order of 100 major publisher sites hosting open access papers, and the predominant offer there is still a PDF.
[[File:Red onion cross section 03.jpg|thumb|left|Red onion cross section]]
From the discoverability angle, Wikidata's bibliographic resources combined with the [[SPARQL]] query are superior in principle, by far, to existing keyword searches run over papers. Open access content should be managed into consistent HTML, something that is currently strenuous. The good news, such as it is, would be that much of it is already in [[XML]]. The organisational problem of removing further skins from the onion, with sensible prioritisation, is certainly not insuperable. The CORE group (the bloggers in the LSE posting) has some answers, but actually not all that is needed for the [[text and data mining]] purposes they highlight. The [[long tail]], or in other words the onion heart when it has become fiddly beyond patience to skin, does call for a ''[[wikt:pis aller|pis aller]]''. But the real knack is to do more between the XML and the heart.

== Wikidata + map question ==
Hello! I hope this finds you well. I have just read your proposal on the GLAMWiki Conference submissions category, and I have realized you are savvy when it comes to maps and Wikidata. And I have been facing a real issue, which I hope you might help me to sort out. I have worked with students of mine and Wikimedia volunteers in Brazil to take pictures and create Wikidata items of monuments in São Paulo [https://query.wikidata.org/embed.html#%23defaultView%3AMap%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3Finst%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fsitelink%20%3Fcoords%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20VALUES%20%3Fvals%20%7Bwd%3AQ4989906%20wd%3AQ179700%20wd%3AQ376693%20wd%3AQ11634%20wd%3AQ860861%20wd%3AQ483453%7D%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20%3Fvals.%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP131%20wd%3AQ174%20.%20%20%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP625%20%3Fcoords%20.%0A%20%20%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20%3Finst%20%20%20%20%20%0A%20%20OPTIONAL%20%7B%3Fsitelink%20schema%3Aabout%20%3Fitem%20.%0A%20%20%3Fsitelink%20schema%3AinLanguage%20%22en%22%20.%20%20%0A%20%20%3Fsitelink%20schema%3AisPartOf%20%3Chttps%3A%2F%2Fcommons.wikimedia.org%2F%3E%20.%0A%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22en%2Cpt%22%20.%0A%20%20%7D%0A%20%20%7D%20%7D%20ORDER%20BY%20%3FitemLabel]. I'd love to be able to post this map with the query on pt.wikipedia --do you know if this is even possible? Thanks a lot and sorry for likely mistakes. Cheers. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 00:50, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
:{{reply to|Joalpe}} I'm not sure if this is possible or how it could be done. I'll do some more research and get back to you. [[User:Edward|Edward]] ([[User talk:Edward#top|talk]]) 11:29, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
::Thanks for the reply, Edward. So far, I can easily create maps with local points on the frame (i.e. [https://pt.wikivoyage.org/wiki/S%C3%A3o_Paulo/Centro_Hist%C3%B3rico#/map/0] or [https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predefini%C3%A7%C3%A3o:Mapa_dos_protestos_sobre_o_assassinato_de_Marielle_Franco]), but they are of course not dynamically related to Wikidata. To some extent, what I am thinking of is not too different in principle to what the Listeria-bot does: the creation of a template (a table) fed dynamically with data from Wikidata. I have no idea on how to make this happen for maps, though. So thanks a lot for looking into this, as I believe this could lead to something really cool for the projects. --[[User:Joalpe|Joalpe]] ([[User talk:Joalpe|talk]]) 17:49, 25 April 2018 (UTC)

===ScienceSource funded===
The Wikimedia Foundation announced full funding of the [[m:Grants:Project/ScienceSource|ScienceSource grant proposal]] from [http://contentmine.org/ ContentMine] on May 18. See the [https://twitter.com/TheContentMine/status/997574058727354370 ScienceSource Twitter announcement and 60 second video].
;A medical canon?
The proposal includes downloading 30,000 open access papers, aiming (roughly speaking) to create a baseline for medical referencing on Wikipedia. It leaves open the question of how these are to be chosen.
The basic criteria of [[WP:MEDRS]] include a concentration on secondary literature. Attention has to be given to the [[long tail]] of diseases that receive less current research. The MEDRS guideline supposes that [[edge case]]s will have to be handled, and the premature exclusion of publications that would be in those marginal positions would reduce the value of the collection. [[Prophylaxis]] misses the point that gate-keeping will be done by an algorithm.
Two well-known but rather different areas where such considerations apply are [[tropical disease]]s and [[alternative medicine]]. There are also a number of potential downloading troubles, and these were mentioned in [[User:Charles Matthews/Facto Post/Issue 11 – 9 April 2018|Issue 11]]. There is likely to be a gap, even with the guideline, between conditions taken to be necessary but not sufficient, and conditions sufficient but not necessary, for candidate papers to be included. With around 10,000 recognised medical conditions in standard lists, being comprehensive is demanding. With all of these aspects of the task, ScienceSource will seek community help.

;Respecting MEDRS
''Facto Post'' enters its second year, with a Cambridge Blue (OK, Aquamarine) background, a new logo, but no Cambridge blues. On-topic for the [[m:Grants:Project/ScienceSource/Profile|ScienceSource project]] is a [[Wikipedia:WikiProjectMedicine/Referencing case studies for MEDRS|project page here]]. It contains some case studies on how the [[WP:MEDRS]] guideline, for the referencing of articles at all related to human health, is applied in typical discussions.
Close to home also, a template, called {{tl|medrs}} for short, is used to express dissatisfaction with particular references. Technology can help with patrolling, and this [http://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=4902034 Petscan query] finds over 450 articles where there is at least one use of the template. Of course the template is merely suggesting there is a possible issue with the reliability of a reference. Deciding the truth of the allegation is another matter.
This maintenance issue is one example of where ScienceSource aims to help. Where the reference is to a scientific paper, its type of algorithm could give a pass/fail opinion on such references. It could assist patrollers of medical articles, therefore, with the templated references and more generally. There may be more to proper referencing than that, indeed: context, quite what the statement supported by the reference expresses, prominence and weight. For that kind of consideration, case studies can help. But an algorithm might help to clear the backlog.

;Plugging the gaps – Wikimania report
Officially it is "bridging the gaps in knowledge", with Wikimania 2018 in [[Cape Town]] paying tribute to the southern African concept of ''[[Ubuntu philosophy|ubuntu]]'' to implement it. Besides face-to-face interactions, Wikimedians do need their power sources.
[[File:Wikimania 2018 hackathon mentoring table plugbar.jpg|thumb|left|Hackathon mentoring table wiring]]
''Facto Post'' interviewed {{noping|Jdforrester}}, who has attended every Wikimania, and now works as Senior Product Manager for the Wikimedia Foundation. His take on tackling the gaps in the Wikimedia movement is that "if we were an army, we could march in a column and close up all the gaps". In his view though, that is a faulty metaphor, and it leads to a completely false misunderstanding of the movement, its diversity and different aspirations, and the nature of the work as "fighting" to be done in the open sector. There are many fronts, and as an [[m:Eventualism|eventualist]] he feels the gaps experienced both by editors and by users of Wikimedia content are inevitable. He would like to see a greater emphasis on reuse of content, not simply its volume.
If that may not sound like radicalism, the ''Decolonizing the Internet'' conference here organized jointly with [https://whoseknowledge.org/decolonizing-the-internet-conference/ Whose Knowledge?] can redress the picture. It comes with the claim to be "the first ever conference about centering marginalized knowledge online".

[[File:SS Whats a Neglected Disease.webm|thumb|left|''What's a Neglected Disease?'', ScienceSource video]]
To grasp the nettle, there are [[rare disease]]s, there are [[tropical disease]]s and then there are "neglected diseases". Evidently a rare enough disease is likely to be neglected, but [[neglected disease]] these days means a disease not rare, but tropical, and most often infectious or parasitic. Rare diseases as a group are dominated, in contrast, by [[genetic disease]]s.
A major aspect of neglect is found in tracking [[drug discovery]]. [[Orphan drug]]s are those developed to treat rare diseases (rare enough not to have market-driven research), but there is some overlap in practice with the [[WHO]]'s [http://www.who.int/neglected_diseases/diseases/en/ neglected diseases], where [[snakebite]], a "neglected public health issue", is on the list.
From an encyclopedic point of view, lack of research also may mean lack of high-quality references: the core medical literature differs from primary research, since it operates by aggregating trials. This bibliographic deficit clearly hinders Wikipedia's mission. The ScienceSource project is currently addressing this issue, on Wikidata. Its [[d:Wikidata:ScienceSource focus list|Wikidata focus list]] at WD:SSFL is trying to ensure that neglect does not turn into bias in its selection of science papers.

;The science publishing landscape
[[File:So much to read, so less time.jpg|left|150px]]
In an ideal world ... no, bear with your editor for just a minute ... there would be a format for scientific publishing online that was as much a standard as [[SI units]] are for the content. Likewise cataloguing publications would not be onerous, because part of the process would be to generate uniform [[metadata]]. Without claiming it could be the mythical [[free lunch]], it might be reasonably be argued that sandwiches can be packaged much alike and have barcodes, whatever the fillings.
The best on offer, to stretch the metaphor, is the [[meal kit]] option, in the form of [[XML]]. Where scientific papers are delivered as XML downloads, you get all the ingredients ready to cook. But have to prepare the actual meal of [[slow food]] yourself. See [https://w3c.github.io/scholarly-html/ Scholarly HTML] for a recent pass at heading off XML with HTML, in other words in the native language of the Web.
The argument from [[real life]] is a traditional mixture of frictional forces, vested interests, and the classic irony of the [https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/iau/cornford/cornford7.html principle of unripe time]. On the other hand, [[discoverability]] actually diminishes with the prolific progress of science publishing. No, it really doesn't scale. Wikimedia as movement can do something in such cases. We know from [[open access]], we grok the Web, we have [[VisualEditor#Technical|our own horse]] in the HTML race, we have Wikidata and [[WikiJournal]], and we have the chops to act.

;Wikidata imaged
Around 2.7 million Wikidata items have an illustrative image. These files, you might say, are Wikimedia's [[stock photography|stock images]], and if the number is large, it is still only 5% or so of items that have one. All such images are taken from Wikimedia Commons, which has 50 million media files. One key issue is how to expand the stock.
Indeed, there is a tool. [[m:WDFIST|WD-FIST]] exploits the fact that each Wikipedia is differently illustrated, mostly with images from Commons but also with [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria#Policy|fair use]] images. An item that has sitelinks but no illustrative image can be tested to see if the linked wikis have a suitable one. This works well for a volunteer who wants to add images at a reasonable scale, and a small amount of SPARQL knowledge goes a long way in producing checklists.
[[File:Gran Teatro Cáceres.JPG|thumb|Gran Teatro, Cáceres, Spain, at night]]
It should be noted, though, that there are currently 53 Wikidata properties that link to Commons, of which P18 for the basic image is just one. WD-FIST prompts the user to add signatures, plaques, pictures of graves and so on. There are a couple of hundred [[monogram]]s, mostly of historical figures, and [https://query.wikidata.org/#%23defaultView%3AImageGrid%0ASELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%20%3Fpic%0A%20%20WHERE%20%7B%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP1543%20%3Fpic.%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22.%20%7D%7D this query] allows you to view all of them. [[commons:Category:Monograms]] and its subcategories provide rich scope for adding more.
And so it is generally. [https://query.wikidata.org/#SELECT%20%3Fitem%20%3FitemLabel%0A%20%20WHERE%20%7B%3Fitem%20wdt%3AP31%20wd%3AQ18610173.%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20SERVICE%20wikibase%3Alabel%20%7B%20bd%3AserviceParam%20wikibase%3Alanguage%20%22%5BAUTO_LANGUAGE%5D%2Cen%22%7D%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%7D The list] of properties linking to Commons does contain a few that concern video and audio files, and rather more for maps. But it contains gems such as P3451 for "nighttime view". Over 1000 of those on Wikidata, but as for so much else, there could be yet more.
Go on. Today is Wikidata's birthday. An illustrative image is always an acceptable gift, so why not add one? You can follow these easy steps: (i) log in at https://tools.wmflabs.org/widar/, (ii) paste the Petscan ID 6263583 into https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ and click run, and (iii) just add cake.

GLAM ♥ data — what is a gallery, library, archive or museum without a catalogue? It follows that Wikidata must love librarians. Bibliography supports students and researchers in any topic, but open and machine-readable bibliographic data even more so, outside the silo. Cue the WikiCite initiative, which was meeting in conference this week, in the Bay Area of California.
[[File:Wikidata education for librarians group at WikiCite 2018.jpg|thumb|left|Wikidata training for librarians at WikiCite 2018]]
In fact there is a broad scope: "Open Knowledge Maps via SPARQL" and the "Sum of All Welsh Literature", identification of research outputs, Library.Link Network and Bibframe 2.0, OSCAR and LUCINDA (who they?), OCLC and Scholia, all these co-exist on the agenda. Certainly more [[library science]] is coming Wikidata's way. That poses the question about the other direction: is more Wikimedia technology advancing on libraries? Good point.
Wikimedians generally are not aware of the tech background that can be assumed, unless they are close to current training for librarians. A baseline definition is useful here: "[[bash (Unix shell)|bash]], [[git]] and [[OpenRefine]]". Compare and contrast with [[mw:Manual:Pywikibot|pywikibot]], [[GitHub]] and [[m:Mix'n'match/Manual|mix'n'match]]. Translation: scripting for automation, version control, data set matching and wrangling in the large, are on the agenda also for contemporary library work. Certainly there is some possible common ground here. Time to understand rather more about the motivations that operate in the library sector.

;Learning from Zotero
[[Zotero]] is free software for reference management by the [[Center for History and New Media]]: see [[Wikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero]]. It is also an active user community, and has broad-based [https://www.zotero.org/support/supported_languages language support].
[[File:Zotero logo.png|thumb|Zotero logo]]
Besides the handiness of Zotero's warehousing of personal citation collections, the ''Zotero translator'' underlies the [[mw:citoid|citoid service]], at work behind the VisualEditor. Metadata from Wikidata [[d:Wikidata:Zotero|can be imported]] into Zotero; and in the other direction the [https://github.com/UB-Mannheim/zotkat ''zotkat'' tool] from the University of Mannheim allows Zotero bibliographies to be exported to Wikidata, by item creation. With an extra feature to add statements, that route could lead to much development of the focus list (P5008) tagging on Wikidata, by WikiProjects.
[[File:Zotero-demo-wikipedia.webm|thumb|left|Zotero demo video]]
There is also a large-scale encyclopedic dimension here. The construction of Zotero translators is one facet of [[Web scraping]] that has a strong community and open source basis. In that it resembles the less formal [https://tools.wmflabs.org/mix-n-match/import.php mix'n'match import] community, and growing networks around other approaches that can integrate datasets into Wikidata, such as the use of [[OpenRefine]].
Looking ahead, the thirtieth birthday of the World Wide Web falls in 2019, and yet the ambition to make webpages routinely readable by machines can still seem an ever-retreating mirage. Wikidata should not only be helping Wikimedia integrate its projects, an ongoing process represented by Structured Data on Commons and [[d:Wikidata:Lexicographical data|lexemes]]. It should also be acting as a catalyst to bring scraping in from the cold, with institutional strengths as well as resourceful code.

;Everything flows (and certainly data does)
Recently Jimmy Wales has made the point that [[virtual assistant|computer home assistants]] take much of their data from Wikipedia, one way or another. So as well as getting Spotify to play ''[[Frosty the Snowman]]'' for you, they may be able to answer the question "is the Pope Catholic?" Possibly by asking for disambiguation ([[Pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria|Coptic]]?).
[[File:Voice Search Amazon Echo vs Google.webm|thumb|left|[[Amazon Echo]] device using the [[Amazon Alexa]] service in voice search showdown with the Google rival on an [[Android phone]]]]
Headlines about [[data breach]]es are now familiar, but the unannounced circulation of information raises other issues. One of those is [[Gresham's law]] stated as "bad data drives out good". Wikipedia and now Wikidata have been criticised on related grounds: what if their content, unattributed, is taken to have a higher standing than Wikimedians themselves would grant it? See [[q:Otto_von_Bismarck#Misattributed|Wikiquote on a misattribution to Bismarck]] for the usual quip about "law and sausages", and why one shouldn't watch them in the making.
Wikipedia has now turned 18, so should act like as adult, as well as being treated like one. The Web itself turns 30 some time between March and November this year, per [[Tim Berners-Lee]]. If the [[Knowledge Graph]] by Google exemplifies [[Heraclitus#Panta_rhei,_"everything_flows"|Heraclitean]] Web technology gaining authority, contra [[GIGO]], Wikimedians still have a role in its critique. But not just with the teenage skill of [[The Catcher in the Rye|detecting phoniness]].
There is more to beating Gresham than exposing the [[factoid]] and [[urban myth]], where [[WP:V]] does do a great job. Placeholders must be detected, and working with Wikidata is a good way to understand how having one statement as data can blind us to replacing it by a more accurate one. An example that is important to [[open access]] is that, firstly, the term itself needs considerable unpacking, because just being able to read material online is a poor relation of "open"; and secondly, trying to get Creative Commons license information into Wikidata shows up issues with classes of license (such as [[CC-BY]]) standing for the actual license in major repositories. Detailed investigation shows that "everything flows" exacerbates the issue. But Wikidata can solve it.

;What is a systematic review?
[[Systematic review]]s are basic building blocks of [[evidence-based medicine]], surveys of existing literature devoted typically to a definite question that aim to bring out scientific conclusions. They are principled in a way Wikipedians can appreciate, taking a critical view of their sources.
[[File:PRISMA flow diagram.jpg|thumb|PRISMA flow diagram for a systematic review]]
[[Ben Goldacre]] in 2014 wrote (link below) "[...] : the "information architecture" of evidence based medicine (if you can tolerate such a phrase) is a chaotic, ad hoc, poorly connected ecosystem of legacy projects. In some respects the whole show is still run on paper, like it's the 19th century." Is there a Wikidatan in the house? Wouldn't some machine-readable content that is [[structured data]] help?
[[File:Schittny, Facing East, 2011, Legacy Projects.jpg|thumb|left|2011 photograph by Bernard Schittny of the "Legacy Projects" group]]
Most likely it would, but the arcana of systematic reviews and how they add value would still need formal handling. The [[PRISMA standard]] dates from 2009, with an update started in 2018. The concerns there include the corpus of papers used: how selected and filtered? Now that Wikidata has a 20.9 million item bibliography, one can at least pose questions. Each systematic review is a tagging opportunity for a bibliography. Could that tagging be reproduced by a query, in principle? Can it even be second-guessed by a query (i.e. simulated by a protocol which translates into SPARQL)? Homing in on the arcana, do the inclusion and filtering criteria translate into metadata? At some level they must, but are these metadata explicitly expressed in the articles themselves? The answer to that is surely "no" at this point, but can [[text and data mining|TDM]] find them? Again "no", right now. [[Automatic identification]] doesn't just happen.
Actually these questions lack originality. It should be noted though that [[WP:MEDRS]], the reliable sources guideline used here for health information, hinges on the assumption that the usefully systematic reviews of biomedical literature can be recognised. Its nutshell summary, normally the part of a guideline with the highest density of common sense, allows [[literature review]]s in general validity, but [[WP:MEDASSESS]] qualifies that indication heavily. Process wonkery about systematic reviews definitely has merit.

I just noticed that nearly a year ago you sourced a suitably licensed Flickr image for [[Airlink (helicopter shuttle service)]] and added it to the infobox. Many thanks for doing that: I had hunted for a suitable photo for ages, ever since I wrote the article! It significantly enhances the article, as the story can only really be put it context with a photo of it "in action". Sadly I was just too young to encounter it, although I was a fairly regular visitor to the Gatwick viewing gallery when that was open.

;When in the cloud, do as the APIs do
Half a century ago, it was the era of the [[mainframe computer]], with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novel ''[[Billion-Dollar Brain]]'' then made into a Hollywood film. Now we have [[cloud computing|the cloud]], with [[server farms]] and the [[client–server model]] as quotidian: this text is being typed on a [[Chromebook]].
[[File:Cloud-API-Logo.svg|thumb|left|Logo of Cloud API on [[Google Cloud Platform]]]]
The term [[Applications Programming Interface]] or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While a [[compiler]] is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit the [[mw:API:Main page|MediaWiki API]].
APIs (called [[RESTful API|RESTful]]) that allow for the [[GET (HTTP)|GET HTTP request]] are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides the [[SPARQL]] language, could be in [[Python (programming language)|Python]], younger by a few months than the Web.
Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enter [[Ali Baba]]'s cave or the western door of [[Moria (Middle-earth)|Moria]] (French in the case of "[[Open Sesame (phrase)|Open Sesame]]", in fact, and [[Sindarin]] being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to the [[wikt:impactful]] or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained to [[Winnie-the-Pooh]], it tells you The Thing to Do.

;Completely clouded?
[[File:Cloud computing icon.svg|thumb|left|Cloud computing logo]]
Talk of [[cloud computing]] draws a veil over hardware, but also, less obviously but more importantly, obscures such intellectual distinction as matters most in its use. Wikidata begins to allow tasks to be undertaken that were out of easy reach. The facility should not be taken as the real point.
Coming in from another angle, the "executive decision" is more glamorous; but the "administrative decision" should be admired for its command of facts. Think of the attitudes ''[[ad fontes]]'', so prevalent here on Wikipedia as "can you give me a source for that?", and being prepared to deal with complicated analyses into specified subcases. Impatience expressed as a disdain for such [[pedantry]] is quite understandable, but neither [[dirty data]] nor [[false dichotomies]] are at all good to have around.
[[User:Charles Matthews/Facto Post/Issue 13 – 29 June 2018|Issue 13]] and [[User:Charles Matthews/Facto Post/Issue 21 – 28 February 2019|Issue 21]], respectively on [[WP:MEDRS]] and [[systematic review]]s, talk about biomedical literature and computing tasks that would be of higher quality if they could be made more "administrative". For example, it is desirable that the decisions involved be consistent, explicable, and reproducible by non-experts from specified inputs.
What gets clouded out is not impossibly hard to understand. You do need to put together the insights of [[functional programming]], which is a doctrinaire and purist but clearcut approach, with the practicality of [[office software]]. Loopless computation can be conceived of as a seamless forward march of spreadsheet columns, each determined by the content of previous ones. Very well: to do a backward audit, when now we are talking about Wikidata, we rely on integrity of data and its scrupulous sourcing: and clearcut case analyses. The MEDRS example forces attention on purge attempts such as [[Beall's list]].

; Why have I received this message?
: All administrators are receiving it.
; What prompted you to send this message?
: Recently, several Wikipedia admin accounts were compromised. The admin accounts were [[WP:LEVEL1|desysopped on an emergency basis]]. In the past, the Committee often resysopped admin accounts as a matter of course once the admin was back in control of their account. The committee has updated its guidelines. Admins may now be required to undergo a fresh [[WP:RFA|Request for Adminship (RfA)]] after losing control of their account.
; What do I need to do?
: Only to follow the instructions in this message.
:# Check that your password is unique (not reused across sites).
:# Check that your password is strong (not simple or guessable).
:# Enable Two-factor authentication (2FA), if you can, to create a second hurdle for attackers.
; How can I find out more about two-factor authentication (2FA)?
: You can find out more about 2FA at [[m:2FA]].

== Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular) ==
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are [[Wikipedia:Administrators#Security|required]] to "have strong passwords and [[Wikipedia:Personal security practices|follow appropriate personal security practices]]." We have [[Special:Permalink/891851004#Return of permissions for compromised administrator accounts|updated]] our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, [[WP:2FA|two-factor authentication]] remains an ''optional'' means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

;Semantic Web and TDM – a ContentMine view
Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, a [[valediction]] at least for a while.
It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM ([[text and data mining]]).
Wikidata and now [[commons:Structured data|Structured Data on Commons]] represent the overlap of Wikimedia with the [[Semantic Web]]. This common ground is helping to convert an engineering concept into a movement. TDM generally has little enough connection with the Semantic Web, being instead in the orbit of [[machine learning]] which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?"
The [[d:WD:SS|ScienceSource project]] innovates in TDM, by storing its text mining results in a [[Wikibase]] site. It strives for compliance of its fact mining, on drug treatments of diseases, with an automated form of the relevant [[WP:MEDRS|Wikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS]]. Where [[d:WD:WFM|WikiFactMine]] set up an [[User:Charles Matthews/Facto Post/Issue 22 – 28 March 2019|API]] for reuse of its results, ScienceSource has a SPARQL query service, with look-and-feel exactly that of Wikidata's at query.wikidata.org. It also now has a custom front end, and its content can be [[federated search#Challenges|federated]], in other words used in data mashups: it is one of [[mw:Wikidata Query Service/User Manual/SPARQL Federation endpoints|over 50 sites]] that can federate with Wikidata.
The human factor comes to bear through the front end, which combines a link to the HTML version of a paper, text mining results organised in drug and disease columns, and a SPARQL display of nearby drug and disease terms. Much software to develop and explain, so little time! Rather than telling the tale, ''Facto Post'' brings you ScienceSource links, starting from the how-to video, lower right.

Dear Edward, I would like to send you information about your talk in the Partnerships Space at Wikimania 2019, but I do not have your email address.

== Your OSM-Wikidata tool, a suggestion ==
Hi Ed, I enjoyed your talk today about your OSM-Wikidata tool tremendously and plan to use the tool in the future. Discussing with a friend, we wondered if it would be possible to allow the user to edit Wikidata coordinates in cases of discrepancy. Presumably, OSM coordinates are more precise in most cases. Do you see any issues with this, or is it maybe already a planned feature? Cheers, [[User:AxelBoldt|AxelBoldt]] ([[User talk:AxelBoldt|talk]]) 17:36, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
{{reply to|AxelBoldt}} I'm glad that you enjoyed the talk. Copying coordinates from OSM to Wikidata isn't allowed because the licenses aren't compatible. If we started copying coordinates from OSM then we'd be making a derived work. [[User:Edward|Edward]] ([[User talk:Edward#top|talk]]) 08:38, 17 August 2019 (UTC)

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]
The article [[:Box office disappointment]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]] because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''Term goes to absolute extreme of definition without a middle ground; there's no incoming links to this any longer and is not a term used in the industry.'''</blockquote>
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Box office disappointment|the article's talk page]].
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.

== How we will see unregistered users ==
<section begin=content/>
Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin '''will still be able to access the IP'''. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation/Improving tools|better tools]] to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|read more on Meta]]. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can [[m:Global message delivery/Targets/Tech ambassadors|subscribe]] to [[m:Tech/News|the weekly technical newsletter]].
We have [[m:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation#IP Masking Implementation Approaches (FAQ)|two suggested ways]] this identity could work. '''We would appreciate your feedback''' on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can [[m:Talk:IP Editing: Privacy Enhancement and Abuse Mitigation|let us know on the talk page]]. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you.

== Linking to Find Link ==
Good morning and thank you for creating and maintaining Find Link! Women in Red is now running monthly tips in its newsletters. I suggested saying something like "Use the Find Link tool to de-orphan your articles" which they liked...but I was wondering if it's ok with you to link to Find Link in the first place, and if so, what is the right URL to use? Would it be [[User:Edward/Find link]] ? [[User:Cielquiparle|Cielquiparle]] ([[User talk:Cielquiparle|talk]]) 07:24, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
:Hi, sorry for not replying sooner. Yes, fine to link to it. [[User:Edward/Find link]] is a good one to use for now. I should make a page for it in the Wikipedia namespace. [[User:Edward|Edward]] ([[User talk:Edward#top|talk]]) 19:30, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
::Thanks @[[User:Edward|Edward]]! I suggested [[Wikipedia:FINDLINK]] instead which obviously points to your User page now but then could be re-directed to another target in the future. Seems cleaner.

Thanks for your contributions to [[Draft:Talerddig rail accident|Talerddig rail accident]]. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because '''it needs more sources to establish notability'''.
I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at [[Help:Unreviewed new page]].
When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. <span style="color:DarkGray">...</span> [[User:discospinster|<span style="color:DarkOrange">'''disco'''</span><span style="color: #556B2F">'''''spinster'''''</span>]] <sub>[[User talk:discospinster|'''<span style="color:DarkGray">talk</span>''']]</sub> 04:39, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
:I've redirected the draft to the article which I created on the accident - [[2024 Talerddig collision]]. I was unaware of the draft when I created the article. Given the moving of the article you created to draft space, as a rough guide any new article needs structure, and at least three references from reliable sources. Resist the temptation to include correct, but unverified information in the article. There is [[WP:NORUSH]] to be as up to date as possible when creating an article. Facts do come out with the passage of time and can be added later. [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 08:11, 22 October 2024 (UTC)
== Invitation to participate in a research ==
