Hi! I want to inform you that I proposed to delete WorldCat Identities ID (P7859), which you proposed, when the website will be definitively shut down in the coming months (Wikidata:Properties for deletion/P7859).

Not interested

Dear Vladimir Alexiev,

I hope you are doing well,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I am working on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender model that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our model based on your previous edits. Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study should take no more than 15 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link

Then, I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Hi Vladimir Alexiev,

Wikidata:Database_reports/Complex_constraint_violations/P7534 finds items with labels and descriptions that are in all caps. Many seem to have created by you. I suppose you are aware of Help:Label and Help:Descriptions about that. If you need help fixing them, please add a request to Wikidata:Bot requests.

Posted https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Bot_requests#fix_ALLCAPS_of_items_imported_from_MIC. But proper "Title Case" is not so easy to do due to prepositions.

The bot request is now at: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Bot_requests/Archive/2020/12#fix_ALLCAPS_of_items_imported_from_MIC.

Hi anonymous! I still don't understand what you mean.

Hi Vladimir,

the correct name for XETRA ? FREIVERKEHR? OFF-BOOK (Q107228120) is Xetra – Freiverkehr– Off-Book. All other interrogation marks from this import seem also to be wrong.

Fixed one instance, will work on the rest. https://w.wiki/5hZZ finds 10 instances

Fixed all instances.

You modified the crunchbase identifier on Fyber (Q100319972) but it seems your edit points at a non-existent entry? How are you making these updates?

I'm going through https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P2088 and fixing things. All other CB identifiers use lowercase letters and https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property_talk:P2088 "Format" disallows uppercase.

But you are right, "Fyber" is an exception in CB. Fixed.

couldn't there be other/lots of identifiers that don't work in all lowercase? How do we know this didn't break lots of items

• I've seen thousands of CB identifiers and never seen one in uppercase.
• The prop definition says "format as a regular expression: [^A-Z \/]+ ; constraint status: mandatory constraint" (but has no reference). I didn't add this constraint.
• I'm not changing identifiers to lowercase en-masse, just this one
• I've added http://km.aifb.kit.edu/services/crunchbase/ en-masse which unfortunately has errors. In addition to those fixed by batch described in "Crunchbase bug" below, I'm currently working out many more

ok thanks for doing this

Based on this edit, the task you just ran appears to have a bug of some sort.

I got those CB IDs from http://km.aifb.kit.edu/services/crunchbase/ and they were made maybe 4y ago. I guess at the time the right ID was pomona-college-2, now it's pomona-college.

The batch failed to add references, so I'm rerunning it now https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/62211. Please report any more bugs you find, and I'll fix them after the batch is done.

Another mistake: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MobileDiff/1484559699&markasread=744103886&markasreadwiki=wikidatawiki

@tacsipacsi, Sdkb:: I'm now running https://quickstatements.toolforge.org/#/batch/62657 to remove 851 wrong Crunchbase IDs. But WD update is so broken that such simple operation gives errors, and I've had to rerun "reset errors" 5 times already

Hi Vladimir,

Based on your questions on my talk page, you seem to be working on artists regularly. Could you have a look at Q2146291 and Q41323135? It seems the data on two different artists are mixed up here (see RKDartists links).

Best, ~~~~

Yes, they appear the same (please merge), whereas https://rkd.nl/en/explore/artists/33250 (linked to the first WD item) is a different earlier artist (please create new)

@RKDData: Merged the two, and removed the wrong RKD https://rkd.nl/en/explore/artists/33250

Dear Vladimir Alexiev,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King’s College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research that develops a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights into building a recommender system that can help improve your editing experience.  

Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized to provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form, and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.

If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I promise to keep the time!), please either contact me at [] or [] or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmmFHaiB20nK14wrQJgfrA18PtmdagyeRib3xGtvzkdn3Lgw/viewform?usp=sf_link with your choice of the times that work for you.

I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to connect.

Please contact me if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Hi Kholoud, my interests are very eclectic, from BG orthodox icons to MIC market codes to GLEI RAL company registries. So I'm not sure what you can learn from that :-) Sorry I won't have time to participate. Send regards to Elena!
