Motivation

To aid a student internship project working on the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft database. We are trying to import the case data and planning on using this data to make further visualisations. In the database there is a marked difference between trial (which we have an ID for Survey of Scottish Witchcraft - Trial ID) and case and we would like to import the case items onto Wikidata to preserve this difference.

•  Support Good to get more data from this important scholarly source into Wikidata. MartinPoulter (talk) 16:01, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Sounds sensible to me. Richard Nevell (talk) 18:30, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
•  Support This project has been very good so far. There seems to be an issue with the regex, though as some examples include a letter in the final part. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:58, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
  • Thanks for pointing this out, Andy. The regex has been fixed and a copy-paste error in the examples has been fixed. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:22, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

• @Vojtěch Dostál, WikiProject Witches: and others. Sooner we can create the Property the sooner we can add some really rich data to Wikidata that will augment our historical data for Scotland and coverage of Accused Witches more generally and unfortunately we are time limited for next 9 weeks in terms of people to do the data modelling and processing. So any push forward is massively appreciated. Stinglehammer (talk) 20:57, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@Stinglehammer: Sure, I had some time. Vojtěch Dostál (talk) 21:15, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

@Vojtěch Dostál:, Great, many many thanks! :) Stinglehammer (talk) 12:49, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
