Do we have no showcases lexemes yets? The only one listed for English is noun (Q1084), which is an item, not a lexeme. The actual lexeme is rather poor. Ijon (talk) 12:52, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ijon: noun (Q1084) was supposed to be category of lexemes, assuming there will be few nouns, few verbs etc. I will remove because it is indeed confusing. There is currently one serious candidate to showcase Polska (L9751) actively considered. KaMan (talk) 12:58, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! Polska (L9751) looks great! Ijon (talk) 13:15, 14 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed for Showcase[edit]

  • Polska (L9751) - lacks attestation of forms in actual texts, seems like a copy of another dictionary, not a Showcase of Wikidata compilation The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jura1‎ (talk • contribs).
    there is no need for attestation in regular flexion; attestation in another dictionary is enough, dictionary is best linguistic source The preceding unsigned comment was added by KaMan (talk • contribs).
    this is not a place to copy other dictionaries. The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jura1 (talk • contribs).
    Either somehow prove it it is a copy or stop talking about this. You probably do not understand how languages with excesive regular inflexions works. Two dictionaries must have identical sets of forms because they represent the same regularity in the same language. It is not a copy at all. KaMan (talk) 13:32, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    It seems we probably don't understand how attestation works in the same way. In a recent discussion, the ease of inclusion of attestations was seen as a key advantage of Wikidata lexemes over Wiktionary and others.
    Anyways, I don't see how copy or non-copy identity with a single source is going to showcase any Wikidata advantages over print dictionaries or Wiktionary. If people are interested in another dictionary, they might as well follow the link there. --- Jura 13:53, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    I think I understand what attestation is but don't understand why independent dictionary can't be source of attestation. Anyway if this dictionary is problem for you I have switched with attestation to Polish National Text Corpus. KaMan (talk) 11:17, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • вода (L189) - needs usage examples and attestation
  • main (L813) - (French) has a large number of senses defined
  • see (L185) - English simple irregular verb with good collection of senses
  • віра (L708605) - Ukrainian noun, three senses, examples of each from Ukrainian Wikisource, and described in the major Ukrainian dictionary

Query of biggest Lexemes (possible candidate for showcase)

(is there a version of this that doesn't time out?)
@Mahir256: I saw a trick with query optimiser and filtering on number of statements/identifiers.
This is the optimisation I mean
By the way... šťastný (L204262) is something crazy... :-D

Proposals for showcase[edit]

Some lexemes that I propose for the Italian (Q652) language. Any suggestion is welcome :-)

Proposed English showcase lexeme[edit]

@Ijon: I did some quick improvments, more could be improved. It's a bit borderline but still a good lexeme (and at least one known by a lot of people, which could be also good for promoting lexemes). Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 16:56, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do we usually include negations? Anyway, L1883-F20 is a slang form, which should be indicated somehow. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
