Task 3:[edit]

I have completed task 3 . The following points are the explanation of what I had done in task 3-

  • I have extracted content from the RIS file from the RIS file path.
  • Print author's first name, last name from RIS file.
  • Extract information about the author and title of a given article.
  • Compare the author's information in the wikidata item with those from the RIS file.

My Experience and learning through this program:[edit]

  • The contribution period was a great experience for me.
  • Through this I could start my Open Source journey, I learned a lot.
  • In task 1 I had searched a lot about Wikipedia how it works, how to edit, and how to make changes in wikipages.
  • I took comparable more time than task 2 and task 3.
  • The research of Wikipedia in task 1 developed an interest for me, so I competed in task 2 and task 3 also learned about the thing like pywikibot, creating new scripts.
  • Task 3 was a little challenging for me because Regex was new to me however during completing task 3 I learned Regex and also could implement it at the same time.

My future contribution plan:[edit]

  • I am willing to contribute in the internship period and after this.
  • Beyond internship contribution if there are development projects in python to which I could contribute, please discuss them with me. I will be happy to contribute.


I am very happy that I got a chance to contribute in the contribution period under the guidance of my mentor- Mike Peel and Pigsonthewing.
Feedback from Mike Peel in Task 1 inspired me to work better in task 2.
And the feedback from Mike Peel in Task 2 helped me to improve my work, which helped me in Task 3.

Thank you so much. No matter what the result will be, I am eager to contribute in a long term to the wiki data project.
