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.)

Duplicate papers[edit]

Hi Daniel,

there are many papers, which are duplicated in their content, but have different DOIs like Pure Functions in C. Why shall we not merge them? Jackie Bensberg (talk) 20:29, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Jackie, I agree that having items like Pure Functions in C: A Small Keyword for Automatic Parallelization (Q59202480) and Pure Functions in C: A Small Keyword for Automatic Parallelization (Q118104895) just sit there and not being connected is not ideal, so I provisionally linked them via has edition or translation (P747) and edition or translation of (P629), which is probably not a long-term solution either. Yes, we should think about how to address this systemically, including for things like preprint (or even preprint versions) versus "final" paper, or joint editorials in multiple journals etc. However, merging the items at this stage is not a solution, since besides identifiers like DOI (P356), other metadata also differ, like publication date (P577), published in (P1433), volume (P478), issue (P433), page(s) (P304) and potentially others, including sometimes even author name string (P2093)/ author (P50) or title (P1476). --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 21:08, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Short names of organisms[edit]

Hi Daniel - your User:Research Bot has added short name (P1813) to all species, 'based on heuristic – inferred from taxon name'. This is good, but unfortunately, they have all been tagged as being '(English)' language, which is wrong. As they are based on the scientific names, they should be tagged '(Latin)', or better, '(Scientific)' if such a tag exists. Could this be remedied? Thanks! - MPF (talk) 11:09, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@MPF: Thanks for thinking along. Latin would not work in many cases, and we do not have anything along the lines of 'scientific', but perhaps 'multilanguage' could work, e.g. as per this edit. How do you see that? I am also exploring ways in which lexemes could be helpful here. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 20:29, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Why did you add them at all? --Succu (talk) 20:35, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks! Yes, 'multilanguage' would certainly be OK, as they are relevant in all languages. @Succu: they are in widespread use in scientific literature as subsequent mentions in papers (first mention in a paper, Genus species, all subsequent mentions, G. species); some have entered widely into general usage, such as E. coli for Escherichia coli (Q25419). So definitely worthy of inclusion. - MPF (talk) 21:03, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
(edit conflict) @Succu: Such abbreviated species names are frequently used both on Wikidata (e.g. in items about papers) and beyond (e.g. on Commons file pages), and in a good number of cases, the corresponding species are not indicated. With the short names tagged, it becomes easier to match those strings to species and add the appropriate tags, or to catalog and quantify the diversity (e.g. see here for a query that lists species abbreviated as "C. elegans"). --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 21:12, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sample edits. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 21:19, 25 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Excellent, thanks! Have you had any policy over names beginning with diphthongs derived from single Greek letters (Ch from Greek χ, Ph from Greek φ, Ps from Greek ψ, etc.)? Technically their short names should use the diphthong and not the single first letter, thus, Ch. lawsoniana for Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Q161360), Ph. trochilus for Willow Warbler (Q27239) and Ps. menziesii for Pseudotsuga menziesii (Q156687), but this is observed in the breach far more often than done correctly in the great majority of scientific papers. - MPF (talk) 13:22, 26 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MPF: I have followed the common practice (at least in the English-language literature) to use the single first letter but am aware of the issue, and it is one of the reasons why I am looking into lexemes for modeling this out properly. --Daniel Mietchen (talk) 22:18, 27 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    • Ontology issues: We are finishing the evaluation of the survey about which types of ontology issues are hindering reuse of Wikidata's data the most.
    • Otherwise mostly a slow week because of the Wikimedia hackathon.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Wikifunctions & Abstract Wikipedia Newsletter #114 is out[edit]

There is a new update for Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions. Please, come and read it!

In this issue: a very brief note about the Wikimedia Hackathon in Athens.

Also, we remind you that if you have questions or ideas to discuss, the next Volunteers' Corner will be held on June 5, 2023 at 17:30 UTC (link to the meeting).

Note: since last time we've had some network problems with Jitsi, in case of new malfunctions during next meeting we will provide on short notice a Google Meet link to the participants. Thanks for your understanding.

Enjoy the reading! -- User:Sannita (WMF) (talk) 07:08, 3 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
