You recently ran a QuickStatements batch to change the labels of all Lok Sabha constituencies from, for example, 'Osmanabad' to 'Osmanabad Lok Sabha constituency'. The Help page for labels, however, says that this sort of disambiguation should go in the description, not in the label itself. Would you be able to undo that batch?

Actually, I was not disambiguating between two similar terms. Lok Sabha constituency or Parliamentary constituency is the term included in the constituencies. For example, whenever a parliamentary election happens in India, Bankura Lok Sabha constituency is the term used by electorates, candidates, media, election commission and goverment etc., not only the term Bankura only. To be frank, Bankura Lok Sabha constituency comprises of area outside Bankura district, so the area of Bankura, Bankura district, Bankura Lok Sabha constituency etc. are defined as completely different area. What I am trying to say, the term Lok Sabha Constituency is included in the proper name.

Thanks for the explanation. Do you have a reference we could use for these officially being part of the name? I can find lots of places where results and other sources refer only to "Bankura", for example, rather than using "Bankura Lok Sabha constituency" (including the Lok Sabha website itself)

Hi, please check , , for example.

Thanks for those. However, they don't really seem to show that this is part of the name. If anything, they use "Parliamentary Constituency" more than "Lok Sabha Constituency" (the latter doesn't even appear at all on your #3 link, AFAICS), which makes it look they're using this as a description rather than the name.

corrected all errors

Recently you have added date of death as "no value" or "unknown value" on numerous living people such as https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AEntityPage%2FQ4770968&curid=4558982&diff=744009328&oldid=740572424. It is my understanding that the consensus on Property talk:P570 is to not add this property at all for people that are presumed to be living. Was this a mistake?

Many apologies, it was a mistake from my part. I didn't notice the discussion about not adding no value for living persons. Actually I was following the logic of this module. Anyway, I will undo my edits as soon as possible. Thanks,

Few contributors are using Widar tool. Am i correct? Is there any guiding page for it?

There are many tools connected to Widar? Which one are you talking about?

How to add a description like this using a tool for a Tamil category. eg https://ta.wikipedia.org/s/5w7u The category contains freedom fighters from TamilNadu. How to add the description to all the headings in the category?

The best way to get this the list of pages from Tamil Wikipedia is by using Petscan. The manual on how to use this is in this meta page. After you get the list in csv format, you can then add labels, descriptions, statements etc with Quickstatements tool. The manual of using this tool is here.

My first edit by Quickstatements tool. I will contribute from tomorrow. Bye!

Hi Bodhisattwa, I'm contacting you because I would like your support and your comments on my proposal to represent the Wikidata community at the Wikimedia movement strategy process. I'm contacting you in private because you are a member of the Wikidata Community User Group and I thought that this could be relevant for you.

Hi,

Why removing the label in Breton of this Breton edition: Péden én téoéled (Q54932162)? For editions, I always put the same label in all languages (see Roméo et Juliette (Q28761773) or Romeo and Juliet (Q19101569) for instance).

Hi, @VIGNERON: the labels were in Latin script, but for Bengali, we use Bengali script, for Tibetan, we use Tibetan script and for Hindi, we use Devanagari script. We don't use Latin script in these languages.

Of course, it's in Latin script, the name is in Latin script. What label would you put then?

@VIGNERON:, as I said, Bengali language dont use Latin script. The Bengali transliteration would be পেডেন এন টেওয়েলেড.

Adaptations are not editions {{P|747}}. There is no reverse property for adaptations, and this is on purpose. If the work is identified as an adaptation, this is all that is needed.
