[edit]

Currently logo mark is . I wonder what is the meaning of "three" to "No bounds". I'm not critical or aggressive, am just curious :D --Was a bee (talk) 09:15, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jura1 selected it here, but I am not sure whether it already occurred somewhere else earlier. The symbols of the other constraint types were mainly made by @Pyfisch, maybe they can craft something more appropriate here as well?! —MisterSynergy (talk) 09:21, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It needs some icon .. I couldn't find a better one ;) .. Please replace it with whatever you think is fit and isn't used by the other constraints.

There is now available. Already changed everywhere… —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:24, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh .. actually I picked "3" as it had a number without ±  ;)

Well, I decided to use the plus minus sign as a symbol of bounds, and considered to strike it somehow. My graphics design skills are rather lousy however, thus it didn’t work out :-). At least it is pretty simply in style, and it has the same colors as all other constraint symbols. Anyway it’s CC0, so feel free to improve it or suggest another one. I wouldn’t mind it someone could improve it. —MisterSynergy (talk) 18:35, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Must be my browser .. somehow the striking-it doesn't show :)

This icon is cool. Thanks :) --Was a bee (talk) 05:07, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Physical quantities ?

[edit]

Currently this reads "According to the datamodel described at mw:Wikibase/DataModel#Quantities, bounds of quantity datatype properties represent uncertainty (Q47004757), of which measurement uncertainty (Q1403517) of physical quantities only are relevant."

Not sure where "of which measurement uncertainty (Q1403517) of physical quantities only are relevant." comes from. Besides, the number of children can be seen as a physical quantity.

  • I added Denny's sample for the Colosseum. I think the above introduction needs to be rephrased as well.

    • Yes it needs to be improved, but I am not yet sure how exactly. Still getting an overview here …
      As for the colosseum: where do the bounds “65,000±15,000” stem from? There is no reference given. We unfortunately use bounds wrongly a lot, when in fact ranges of values given in different sources are meant (which are to be added in individual claims). The bounds which are given in those cases are almost always personal judgements of the users who added them based on the range of values given in sources, which we really should avoid when we want to keep the concept of bounds in quantity properties useful. —MisterSynergy (talk) 06:27, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
