bitbotje (Task/s: Property MovieMeter film ID (P1970) has a suggested constraint that the item should have a Dutch ('nl') label. The MovieMeter website has suitable labels and provides an API for structured data access. I have a script that reads the relevant section in Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P1970 and for each listed item does an API call to moviemeter.nl and adds a label.)
I recently started to hang around at CopyPatrol and I've created some RevDel Requests that I learned, thanks to you, that they were completely wrong/unnecessary. So thank you for having patience with me while I'm still learning the ropes. 1AmNobody24 (talk) 07:15, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
@1AmNobody24 it's great to see more people involved in this area. Never be afraid to tag something as requiring attention. That way it gets a second opinion and the worst that can happen is the request is declined. Mistakes do happen, I've been looking at these for years and I can get it spectacularly wrong at times, so if you think the reviewing admin is wrong, ask.
The main things to remember is that the main criteria for RD1 revdel is blatant copyvio. To me that means no or minimal attempt to attribute the source. If the person adding the content has made reasonable attempts, even if wrong, to cite the source, I may well decline the revdel and leave it as removal of the offending content is sufficient. That's my opinion, other admins may take a different view. Nthep (talk) 09:44, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
@Nthep Quick question: Should unattributed copying within Wikipedia but from (and in) another language be RevDel'd or just deleted? Example: [1]. Thx for the answer. 1AmNobody24 (talk) 07:15, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
@1AmNobody24 definitely deleted for not being in English. Revdel, debateable, I suppose it depends how easily it is identified as being from another Wiki. I see here it got revdel'd and I would probably have done the same. Nthep (talk) 12:45, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
Wikidata weekly summary #564

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Upcoming: WikiCite Monthly Meeting, online on 28 March 2023 at 16:00 UTC. Information and notes

In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)
EntitySchemas: We are preparing for adding a new datatype and other changes by improving tests, documentation, etc.
Date input: We did a bug triage hour around issues with date parsing and improved it for Japanese dates (phab:T214002)
Ontology issues: We started evaluating the survey responses for the survey about different types of ontology issues reusers are facing. More work is needed before we have results.
REST API: We finished work on including the URL of an article in sitelink data (phab:T330252) as well as providing all aliases of an Item (phab:T327882)
Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour March 27, 2023: We will be creating items related to notable book podcasts. You are, as always, welcome to bring your own project to work on.Event page

ISCED Attainment (ISCED attainment is the UNESCO main classification of educational level, it is used to map each level to the global classification used by UNESCO. This is useful because the same local level can mean different things in different countries. It identifies the specific levels of the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) Attainment model. Has two sub qualifiers - code and label.)
first performance by (performer or performing group for the first performance of a work)
EntitySchemas: We started working on the new datatype to link to EntitySchemas in statements (phab:T214884)
Query Builder: We finished the work on the language selector so you can swithc the interface language of the tool (phab:T328148) It will be available on the site in the next days.
Wikibase REST API: We implemented the functionality to provide an Item's label, description or aliases in a specific language (phab:T323173)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call April 4, 2023: Magnus Manske will discuss Wikidata editing tools and tools that use linked data from other sources (eg GND, VIAF) to integrate in Wikidata. Agenda
The rollback of Vector 2022 RfC has found no consensus to rollback to Vector legacy, but has found rough consensus to disable "limited width" mode by default.
vandalism on a page, i would like to have your advice
HEllo,
I'm Uri, and I saw your name as editor on one of the pages of a person who asked for my help.
Can I have your advice please?
Thanks
Uri Unissani fw (talk) 19:07, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
The question is: I have a friend who suffers form negative response from "anonymous" users, who repeatedly publish negative information about him on his page. can he ask for a "lockdown" his page? so that only WIki admin can approve changes and edits on his page? can he ask for it ? what's involved ? is it a complicated procedure or can you simply ask for it somewhere?
@Unissani fw Short answer is yes. There are varying levels of protection that can be applied to articles. Your friend is best proceeding by emailing info-enwikimedia.org with details of which article and what the issues are. The team there can take the matter further. Emails are confidential so the content will not go further than the team who receive it. Nthep (talk) 13:53, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)
The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 19th April 2023 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group. The Wikidata and Wikibase office hours are online events where the development team presents what they have been working on over the past quarter, and the community is welcome to ask questions and discuss important issues related to the development of Wikidata and Wikibase.
