Poor labels
[edit]Returning of invalid exports
[edit]Hi. After your batches there are a lot of duplicates appeared, which I correct through MnM. But I have been making the same edits for the third day in a row on the same items [1], [2], [3], [4], etc, where you bringing back incorrect data over and over again. Could you do something about it? Or maybe let me know how many days you plan to do the exports so I can start fixing it all later? By the way, it would be helpful if you would specify in the batch descriptions what the data is based on. Since I often fix film id batches and sometimes it's impossible to say where some nonsense data is coming from. It's clear here that it's based on imdb, but it's better to have this comment in front.

- Apologies, I think I've identified the issue and am reviewing it. I'll stop making related edits until it's sorted. Jake (talk) 02:43, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Filmportal ID
[edit]Hi Jakeob, I've seen that you are interested in film. Since you are using OpenRefine (I've tried it but failed) you might want to take a look at Wikidata:Database reports/Constraint violations/P2639#"Unique value" violations. 1410 items are to much for a manual clean up. --Kolja21 (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Oh my, thank you for showing me this report. I'll go through and review. Jake (talk) 21:27, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! Ping me if you find GND errors. I can fix them. --Kolja21 (talk) 21:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
IMDB data
[edit]Hi Jake,
where do you get the gender of – for example – V.H. Palnitkar (Q127161211) from?
Are you also planning to import life dates from IMDB? --Bernice Heiderman (talk) 20:47, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
- Afternoon Bernice,
- If any IMDb professionals (like a director) have also been in an acting role, they have a sort of implied binary gender in IMDb because all acting credits are classified as either Actor/Actress. I'm not sure how all these binary decisions were made and I've made some corrections to IMDb acting credits regarding this binary (some seem to be based on gendered naming conventions), but that's where that field is coming from (V.H. Palnitkar has an "actress" credit).
- I'm not currently planning to do life dates (but that is something I'm interested in, there are a lot of missing birth/death dates... but years active in the industry is something I've been looking at), I'm currently trying to connect Wikidata's 'also known as' naming convention with du-duping & name matching credits from various film datasets.
