day in year for periodic occurrence (P837) supports both date forms like "May 19" and "first Sunday in October". The trick is that each recurring date has its own Q-item! – May 19 (Q2578), first Sunday in October (Q51156449).

[edit]Ultra-black fish revisited
[edit]- https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2020.06.044

- PlumX says it's cited in 5 Wikipedia articles, and 70 (!) news stories.[2]
No hits for the DOI in OpenCitations index search or corpus search, nor in Crossref. Not surprising, Elsevier seems to hoard its citations for Scopus rather than adding to Crossref. [citation needed, but I did read yesterday somewhere that Elsevier is/was holding out on submitting reference lists]. But they do show a Crossmark button, so they are probably submitting the bibliographic listing if not the references.
Title search (but not DOI) on Datacite [3] does work. However the results pages don’t render properly and are unusable on iPad, so I’ll need to revisit from a desktop or laptop computer. One hit links out to supporting data (xlsx) [4] (DOI 10.17632/6t6sw3mpy3.1) on Mendeley (another Elsevier company?).
It would be fascinating to analyse how articles like this gain popular traction.
The reference list here [5] is interesting in that it presents authors / title / journal on separate lines. Takes up more space, but improves readability. [to-do: check markup for linked data]
Slingshot spiders
[edit]ScienceDirect recommended this one: "Ultrafast launch of slingshot spiders using conical silk webs" (available online 17 Aug, query not yet in print?) [6] Another title that could fire the popular imagination. (It says "ultra"!) So far has 1 blog mention, 10 news mentions, 13 shares/likes/comments, 213 tweets, and 0 Wikipedia citations.
Old tabs
[edit]- Pasleim's implausible coordinates on Wikidata. Some of these are genuine, like the Australian Antarctic Territory, or some naval wrecks that have country=Australia and co-odds at the bottom of a foreign sea. Some I fixed where maybe a user hit au instead of ar, others were just bad edits that I reverted. Still a lot more entries pending...
- Code for Indonesian Administrative Division (administrative code of Indonesia (P2588), proposal, official site) – this could be worthy of a Wikipedia article if I can find references. Or perhaps a section in Subdivisions of Indonesia, since that exists already.
- Aside: {{Wikidata property link}} needs improvements to TemplateData.
Personal names
[edit]Names are diverse and databases that assume (first-name, last-name) pairs are really not sufficient. Some interesting discussion is at d:Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/45#name, d:Wikidata:Property proposal/Archive/45#marrried name. See also d:Wikidata:WikiProject Names.

[edit]Open Citations and Crossref
[edit]- Citations as First-Class Data Entities: Introduction. OpenCitations Blog, 2018. Shotton. [7]
- Heibi, Peroni, Shotton. Software review: COCI, the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations. [8]
- Mentions WikiCite among other Related Works.
- Crossref charges a per-article fee for member institutions to deposit citation lists. Members are assigned a DOI org id when they join.
- Information about journal titles and ISSNs at Crossref. [9]
- Crossref allows (and encourages) separate licensing statements for the Version of Record (vor), Accepted Manuscript (am), and Text and Data Mining version (tdm). [10]. [added 06:23 Wed 16, AEST)]
- Crossref members are required to link references with DOIs [11], and to format the DOIs a certain way []. Deposited references can be DOI or unstructured. Since members pay to deposit their metadata on Crossref, there is no scraping or collecting of reference lists from the source documents.
- Crossref recommendations for displaying DOIs [12] "In 2015 we collaborated with Wikipedia to make all of their DOI links HTTPS."
