Pywikibot badge

I moved the badges to the general user namespace. So it is {{User Pywikibot advanced}}. --Tobias1984 (talk) 16:38, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks! ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:08, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Arthur, you might be interested in the issue raised here. Thanks. --Gikü (talk) 17:38, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I left a note on the property proposer's talk page. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:36, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

P3323

Hello ArthurPSmith, thank you for creating this property. I think it should only be used as a qualifier for academic degree (P512). Could you please add that to the property properties? Jonathan Groß (talk) 16:04, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

• @Jonathan Groß: - thanks, I hadn't remembered that it was planned to be used only as a qualifier. I adjusted the instance of (P31) statement; if there are other changes you think needed you should be able to make them yourself now that the property exists.

wikidata-externalid-url tool

Hi! It seems like there is an issue regarding the wikidata-externalid-url tool and the property IMDb ID (P345). See example. Regards —Cocu— ^t 20:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

• Thanks @Cocu: investigating right now. I know there was some maintenance going on on the tools server but it looks like it's been down for over a day now. ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

• Huh, I thought they would restart tools automatically - I guess not. It's back up now. I'll have to pay more attention to those downtime messages I guess! ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:29, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Enciclopedia Treccani

Hello ArthurPSmith. I stumbled upon Treccani ID (P3365) today. How is it different from Treccani's Biographical Dictionary of Italian People ID (P1986)? Jonathan Groß (talk) 10:38, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

As I understand it from the property proposal discussion the dictionary is a part of the encyclopedia. ArthurPSmith (talk) 12:10, 24 November 2016 (UTC)

That seems right. I'm still wondering how the two properties should be used, respectively. Jonathan Groß (talk) 09:09, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

Share your experience and feedback as a Wikimedian in this global survey

Hello! The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey. We want to know how well we are supporting your work on and off wiki, and how we can change or improve things in the future. (This survey is primarily meant to get feedback on the Wikimedia Foundation's current work, not long-term strategy.) The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation. You have been randomly selected to take this survey as we would like to hear from your Wikimedia community. To say thank you for your time, we are giving away 20 Wikimedia T-shirts to randomly selected people who take the survey. (Legal stuff: No purchase necessary. Must be the age of majority to participate. Sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation located at 149 New Montgomery, San Francisco, CA, USA, 94105. Ends January 31, 2017. Void where prohibited. Click here for contest rules.) The survey is available in various languages and will take between 20 and 40 minutes.

Periodic table

Are you the maintainer of https://tools.wmflabs.org/ptable/? It looks like someone has broken it. :( - Nikki (talk) 15:26, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@Nikki: - actually Ricordisamoa is the maintainer, but I've helped and know a little about it. But it looks ok to me right now, what did you see that was broken? ArthurPSmith (talk) 23:29, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

Oh - somebody messed around with magnesium (Q660). Can you figure out the problem from the history? ArthurPSmith (talk) 23:32, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@Nikki: Please see Wikidata talk:WikiProject Chemistry#Elements and periods --Ricordisamoa 23:33, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

@Nikki, Ricordisamoa: well for now I reinstated the subclass of (P279) relationship and the ptable app looks fine again. I guess if there is a firm decision to switch to "part of" we should adjust the app... ArthurPSmith (talk) 13:26, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

The query could be changed to support both subclass of (P279) and part of (P361), but I'd prefer the ontology, of which the Chemistry WikiProject shall be the authoritative source, to stay consistent :) --Ricordisamoa 01:46, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Defining formula

Thank you for your valuable feedback on my edits regarding the defining formula. The reason why I am adding those formulae to Wikidata is that it is a part of my master's thesis in which I add mathematical formulae to Wikidata which are extracted from English Wikipedia and then based on these formulae I build a Question and answer system. This system will allow users to ask mathematical questions in English and Hindi, and based on those questions, the system will retrieve the related mathematical formula from Wikidata by parsing the natural language input and allow users to get a calculated result for their desired values. You guessed it correctly that I extracted the first formula from all the mathematics related articles on Wikipedia which is obviously not the most accurate way of getting correct results. However, the results are accurate enough to be uploaded to Wikidata. Since I was working on my thesis in the Wikimedia office in Berlin for one month, I showed the results to them and the community was satisfied with the results and gave me the permission to upload them into Wikidata. Furthermore, this sub-task of the whole project is very important because I need these formulae to be present in Wikidata so that they can be used by the question and answer system. I will try my best to eliminate most of the false results like muon lifetime and hope that my contribution to Wikidata can be more useful for further advancements. I will once again have a look at the formulae list to do the necessary amendments and then I will continue with the uploading.

@Yash nagar: you might want to filter your items based on their instance of (P31) and subclass of (P279) relationships. For example, nothing that is an instance or subclass of physical object (Q223557) should have a "defining formula". ArthurPSmith (talk) 15:10, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

@ArthurPSmith: Thank you very much for the suggestion and a good example to start with. I will definitely do the changes and I apologize for the errors I made earlier.
