Hi Lydia,
I was just wondering why you removed the alias from Dura-Europos archival photograph of back of P. CtYBR inv. DP 13(First Text) qua Frame 2 and other similarly named items? These aliases were included to reflect the names given to these images on another source, in order to aid their searchability for anyone familiar with them from that source.
Thanks!
All the best,
Jasmine
The aliases I have removed were all duplication of the Q-ID of the Item. This is generally a bad practice. Aliases are there to support discoverability. These Items can already be found when searching for their Q-ID. We even have abuse filters set up to tag edits that add Q-IDs in labels or aliases.
This is very strange, because this is not what was supposed to be there (it should have been a text label) - clearly something went wrong in the open refine process! Thank you for pointing this out, I will check the other items from this batch upload to make sure this didn't happen anywhere else.
Yeah I've seen a few people where this happened now with people using OpenRefine. Not sure what the cause is.
I have a query that finds Items with Q-IDs in labels or aliases and it returned 0 when I was done cleaning up so it should be fine now. Thanks for looking into it.
