User talk:Miebner

Welcome to Wikidata, Miebner!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Belussowa

Hi! Where do you have the information from that Ludmila Belousova died in Lake Placid? I have removed it, as I can't find anything on the net as to where she died. Mycomp (talk) 08:54, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

It's world wide news. Why not start with a Russian site e.g. this one? Miebner (talk) 09:31, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

I am just wondering why no English-language or German-language sites, for example, have that information. Mycomp (talk) 14:20, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Just read the news! German news outlets do indeed report that she died in Lake Placid (e.g. Zeit Online) but reference to the original Russian reports. I haven't seen German or English language obituaries though that have the date of death included. --Miebner (talk) 18:31, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

VIAF members

Hi (and excuse me for writing in English)! I've seen that in Gertrūda Benze (Q16451405) you have extracted manually VIAF members from the VIAF cluster. You can try User:Bargioni/moreIdentifiers, which provides you a very easy and fast way to extract VIAF members from VIAF clusters. Ask me if you have any doubt! Bye, --Epìdosis 09:13, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

I generally do not trust VIAF. VIAF clusters quite often screw up different authors. Thus, an extraction of authority control data from a VIAF cluster – that I personally do not consider as a trustworthy authority control data set – requires a mandatory manual check up. I will give it try. Yet, I have serious doubt that using your tool will enhance duplicating dubious data from VIAF into Wd. It might be useful though for checking if any authority control data is clustered in VIAF beyond the data already stored in Wd. --Miebner (talk) 19:58, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

It`s just items that ought to merged, but apparently you missed that in Gertrūda Benze (Q16451405) that a second VIAF cluster 4508161392918158480004 needs to be merged. I just added that data set manually. --Miebner (talk) 20:03, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
