Image / Abbildung / Image

Status:    Done

Property:P18

In addition to this, we could have many more. For instance, for an animal species: photo of male, photo of female, skeleton, etc. Any idea on how to label them ? Is "male" ok, or "image of male" ? --Zolo (talk) 15:26, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
I think that "image of male" is better because "male" is ambiguous. Tpt (talk) 16:40, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
A "relevant illustration" seems too vague. Some entities are images (ex. w:Esperanto jubilee symbol). Some are things that could be photographed, or drawn. Some might be image files themselves. Some might be a specific entity that could have images of it, and some might be classes of things, and images would be of examples of it. --Yair rand (talk) 06:29, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
We can probably find a more accurate description, but I think we need a simple property that would work for Shakespeare, Barack Obama, and probably also Moscow and the Loch Ness Monster. --Zolo (talk) 08:34, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
✓ Done. Property:P18. Tpt (talk) 19:52, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
We have Property:P10 (Commons media file, AKA: picture) already. Happy chaos. --Kolja21 (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
I think that we should merge Property:P18 with Property:P10 and rename Property:P10 "Image". Tpt (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Pro merge (delete P18), but a Commons media file can be a video, so I think the description is ok. --Kolja21 (talk) 20:51, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
On IRC there was some discussion about this; I think we should keep both P10 and P18, but encourage people to use P18 only for still images (and rename it to "image" rather than "photo"). P10 is a super-type of P18, as you say, and we should retain it for when we have that. James F. (talk) 21:07, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
If we first add the properties and then discuss how we might use them, it's better to stop phase 2 now, before someone has to do the clean up. Also the software is not ready yet. (We should test the software, improve it, think about the guidelines and than start with phase 2.) --Kolja21 (talk) 21:34, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
Software is never 'finished', it will always be changing. I don't think we should stop now just because we don't have the full set of features yet - but I agree that we should not rush too much with this, and instead discuss here. :-) James F. (talk) 22:30, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Pronunciation

  • Description: An IPA pronunciation of the Topic
  • Datatype: StringValue
  • Links: Most Wiktionary and many Wikipedia Articles etc.
  • Comments: Would help users who do not know how to pronounce the topic. Would also help Text-to-Speech engines pronounce the topic should they ever come across it. See this for more implementation ideas. --Macadamia1472 (talk) 04:28, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
  • The main reason I propose centralising pronunciations is that one person could work out the pronunciation and then any Wikimedia project, be it Wikipedia, Wiktionary, Wikispecies, Wikivoyage etc. could use it through a template as simple as {{pronounce|WORD}}. Also this makes it possible for users to one day set a preference to see the pronunciation, if possible, under the title of each article. Centralising it in Wikidata not Wiktionary etc. also makes it easily accessible to computers programs such as Text-to-Speech engines, fulfiling one of Wikidata's goals. Also see my idea on how we can internationalise it below. --Macadamia1472 (talk) 05:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support This could be used with templates such as en:Template:IPAc-en and test2wiki:Template:IPAc-en (the latter uses Lua).--Snaevar (talk) 14:44, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
  •  Neutral Helps as wikidata would provide pronunciation on all wikipedia. For example, name of person which is spoken same in all languages but need multiple entries according to different language in many case such as articles having words other than names. Example-Independence movement of India - differently written and spoken in different wikipedia of french, hindi, chinese
  • Can we do this on a language-by-language basis? Not every language uses the same term for an entity, let alone the same pronunciation. πr2 (tc) 18:00, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Different language WikiData sites have different labels, descriptions and aliases for the same Item ID so we definitely could (and should) do it separately for each language. Whilst there is a WikiData in British English facilitating dialects might require the ability to add multiple pronunciations like with aliases. In this case we would have to tag each one with a country or region; Annoying but not impossible nor necessary at the start. --Macadamia1472 (talk) 05:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
  • That means that if we change the label, we need to change the pronunciation. I am a bit weary of the synchronization problems that may arise. I guess we should have a "Wikidata of Words" in addition to the "Wikidata of items", or maybe we should work toward integration of omegawiki. --Zolo (talk) 09:13, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

is in

  • Description: Describes an object's relationship with another
  • Datatype: Item
  • Domain: All
  • Comments: For example, the United States is in NATO, the Mona Lisa is in The Louvre. Not to be used instead of properties such as continent Macadamia1472 (talk) 08:09, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
"is in" is too generic in my opinion. For international organisations, there should be a separate property for it like "member of". For paintings or other works of art, there should be a property called "gallery" or "collection". --Wylve (talk) 18:09, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose Agree with Wylve, this is too general (except as a super-type, perhaps). James F. (talk) 21:21, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

    This sounds like a good idea - we might want to sub-type it for general creative works (author, editor, … as below), but I think we should go ahead with this too. James F. (talk) 21:23, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
     Oppose Too generic. Harry Potter has an author (Property:P50). We should start with a World Wide Mix, where we have to guess what the property might stands for. --Kolja21 (talk) 23:39, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Links:
  • Comments:--Nizil Shah (talk) 19:58, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
    That sounds like a property we should definitely have, but we need to think on how to implement this. Currently, it makes use of Q42884 and Q862086 that refer to ethnic group, not nationality. "German" or "Indian" in the purely legal sense do not seem to have items of their own, and I am not sure they can have one. Using the contry's item would make for clean semantics, but that may sound rather awkward in terms of natural language. --Zolo (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
  • ✓ Done by someone before me - Property:P27. We decided to rename it to "country of citizenship" because it's "Germany" not "German", etc. - hope that's OK. James F. (talk) 21:19, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Sexuality/Sexual Orientation

Status:    Done

Property:P91

  • Description: Sexual orientation of a person. Usual Options: Heterosexual (straight), Homosexual (Gay/Lesbian), Bisexual, Asexual
  • Datatype: Item
  • Links:
  • Domain: Person
  • Comments: Reedy (talk) 00:34, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose In some cases this might be of general interest, normally it's none of your business. --Kolja21 (talk) 06:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I disagree. If someone has publicly stated their sexual orientation, why should we not include it? Legoktm (talk) 17:12, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose "private property"! Wikidata is not yellow press, the same with length, diameter, cup size, how often... Whoever edits a box about a person will feel urged to make a statement about sexual orientation, even if there is no public source about it.--Giftzwerg 88 (talk) 17:34, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose With personal data we must be very careful. For instance, the sexual orientation is an issue on which researchers do not have a consensus if it is a valid classification at all. It is a bit like race, but more complex. --Teemu (talk) 10:25, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 Support Sexual orientation is a perfectly valid thing to include in Wikidata if there are clear sources to say someone self-identifies a particular way. And there are a lot of people for whom their sexual orientation is an important matter. Is it "yellow journalism" to say Harvey Milk is gay? Perhaps it's intrusive to say Martin Luther King is black or that the Pope is a Catholic. Tom Morris (talk) 20:25, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Where do we need this info? At least not in Wikipedia, because it's not encyclopedia material, just trivia. --Stryn (talk) 20:31, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
In some cases, like those cited by Tom Morris, those are indeed key things to undertand what makes the pesron important. What bugs me is: where should we stop ? And I am afraid this is something of a cultural matter. For instance, many infoboxes in English Wikipedia include religion or ethnicity, while that would sound rather out of place to many French people. --Zolo (talk) 20:41, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
It isn't just "trivia", any more than the Pope's religion is trivia. There are a large number of categories on English Wikipedia which are based around a person being LGBT. It's of interest to people in gender and queer studies to be able to locate, say, lesbian writers or gay filmmakers. For some individuals, their sexual orientation is of trivial importance, for other people it is of great importance and is, like race or religion or national origin, something which profoundly shapes their character, interests, self-understanding, social role, beliefs and career. You can't understand Derek Jarman or Peter Tatchell unless you understand that they are gay. You can't understand the life of Alan Turing unless you deal with the fact that he was convicted of and punished for being gay. Tom Morris (talk) 20:56, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 Support No more prone to abuse than any number of properties. It'd have to have a description like "the sexual orientation of the subject IF AND ONLY IF they have stated it themselves, unambiguously, or it has been widely agreed upon by historians after their death", but, I don't see any problem with such a property in general. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 20:51, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Just wait the extension of the referencing to create that property and then delete every entry which doesn't have a reference. Snipre (talk) 21:00, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose At this stage, is this really the piece of information the general support for the project needs to be tested with? I do understand the cultural value of the information, but I oppose to the quantification offered by storing it. --Susannaanas (talk) 11:17, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
✓ Done Created using PinkAmpersand's wording. James F. (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm drawing up some proposed guidelines on the talk page, and will post again here to invite everyone to dicuss, once I'm done with them. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 21:24, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
Actually, if you really want to undertand someone, you will probably read a real text about him. Just seeing in a database that Alan Turing was gay will not carry you very far. I suppose this kind of property is more useful for data-mining or things like that. --Zolo (talk) 21:08, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

I've posted some proposed usage guidelines at Property talk:P91, and invite all of you to comment. Thanks. — PinkAmpers&(Je vous invite à me parler) 21:54, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, if seen this article but unfortunately there is no German and no Frensh translation. Literally it's "Stammsitz" in German, but I don't know if this is correct. --Kolja21 (talk) 08:26, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I wonder if there is a good translation. en:wp says: "A subjective concept (...)" At least "Stammsitz" is a real pace, maybe a castle. Therefore, this is a chinese thing and "Ancestral home" (en) is imho only half right. --Goldzahn (talk) 14:07, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
I looked it up in a dictionary (Chinesisch-Deutsches Universalwörterbuch by Wilfried Fuchsenberger), the corresponding entry is (I don't know German, I just type it): "j-s Heimat f, j-s Herkunft(sort) f(m)." Hope this would help.--Stevenliuyi (talk) 16:00, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Hm, I would have preferred just one property for all languages a person speaks, using qualifiers to provide the level of expertise (basic/advanced/fluent/native). Also, this just simply point to a Wikidata item, not an external vocabulary, I think - we should have items for pretty much every language... -- Duesentrieb (talk) 13:36, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

I also don't know how fine grained properties should be, one can more specifically be a paternal half-sibling (same father) or maternal half-sibling (same mother), so they may be preferred instead of the more generic term. /Ch1902 (talk) 21:48, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

Other family relationships: Mother-in-law, father-in-law, great-grandparent, great-uncle, great-aunt, half-brother, half-sister, aunt

 Oppose If you have the direct relationships you don't need to create the full list of possible relationship: an aunt can be defined as the sister of the mother/father. It is simplest to create a code which will be able to extract the data and to build a whole set of relations instead of managing for each person a list of 10-70 possible relations. Snipre (talk) 02:07, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
We won't always know details of the various linking relatives, e.g. for historical figures or fictional people. I'm also not convinced that deriving various relationships would be as simple as you seem to think, even with fairly complete data. Dates may be important; e.g. is my sister's ex-husband my child's (ex-)uncle, if they were divorced before my child's birth? --Avenue (talk) 18:06, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

I think it would be better to just have a property anthem with a link to the item about the anthem. In that item you then can add the description, melody, composer etc. --Blackpen (talk) 13:18, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
This is sorted. We have Anthem, which I would hesitate to call "description"--by implication "anthem" means "title of anthem". The value itself is not a string containing a description. And the original property Property:P48 was a media type, so the description was changed to "anthem recording". This pattern should be followed with the other items like coat of arms, etc., that can have both an item link and an image. Espeso (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

    • But which administrative level does P36 refer to? For example, Paris is the capital of both Île-de-France and France. That's why I think there should be several capital city properties. --NaBUru38 (talk) 15:05, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
    Each state, region, province, département... has its capital (sometimes called chef-lieu in french). Could you explain better what the problem is? Thanks.--Eric-92 (talk) 23:29, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
    • Ohe, now I understand that this property means "the capital city of the item is Y". I think that there should be symmetric properties, like, "this item is the capital city of France" and "this item is the capital city of Île-de-France". --NaBUru38 (talk) 14:39, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
