WikiProject sum of all paintings/Possible pantings

I have tried [Wikidata:WikiProject sum of all paintings/Possible_pantings Hanabusa Itcho] from among the list, and it is a fine and sophisticated listing. Before I go too far, my impression;

  • the starting point; which column do you advise me to click first and work on? I tried the first colum and Hanabusa Itcho, the person name.
  • About filtering; did the tool hit it since Q3109209) had not have Hanabusa Itcho as "other name"? I added this name to wikidata. I expected the tool to hit both Hanabusa Itcho (I) and Itcho II, as both are on wikidata.
  • which property make the tool to refresh and exclude some names from the list as done? --Omotecho (talk) 00:17, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
I have gone through https://tools.wmflabs.org/multichill/painters/index.php?collection=Q1568434 your list], and updated related wikidata pages. One question;

Something odd with a couple of monuments

I'm adding zipcodes to many monuments with my bot and i've stumbled upon a couple of weird cases, mostly church towers like Tower of the NH church Andelst (Q17445135), where something goes wrong with the Commons categories/sitelinks that you've added some time ago. When my bot tries to add the zipcode it gets an error because the category is used in another item as well, in this case thats Hervormde Dorpskerk (Q17445136). For now, the only way i seem to be able to solve this is by removing the category from both items, than re-adding it again to one of the items. I wonder how these sitelinks (that are apparently unique to an item) could even have been added in the first place... Husky (talk) 22:26, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

@Husky: technisch gezien zou dat helemaal niet moeten kunnen ja. Wel maf. Loopt het verder lekker met die import? Multichill (talk) 17:19, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
Ja hoor. Zit nu iets over de helft van alle monumenten. Dit zijn pas de postcodes. Het wordt denk ik interessanter zodra ik architecten en bouwactiviteiten ga toevoegen. Husky (talk) 00:06, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

Dataset suitable to import images in Commons?

Hello, I ask you because you are experimented in the both projects Wikidata and Commons, I noticed that several datasets available in GBIF are under free license , e.g. The echinoderm collection (IE) of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (MNHN - Paris), of course the interesting occurences are those with medias. Would it be relevant to import such datasets here? or what is the best way to import all the free images with the most possible structured informations? directly from Commons with a BOT?

This concerns several tens (hundreds?!?) of thousands of images, exemple with only two institutions : Yale University Peabody Museum datasets under CC0 1.0 licenses, and MNHN - Museum national d'Histoire naturelle not entirely but mostly under CC BY 4.0.

Manually this is a very big (unfeasible?) job... and I know what I mean because before to have noticed the dataset I have started to upload images directly from a museum website.


...or maybe it will be interesting to import such dataset when Structured Data for Commons will fully function and that each images will have potentially a corresponding item?

Interesting, I'll have a look at it. Multichill (talk) 21:10, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

Re: National Museum of Visual Arts of Uruguay

No problem Multichill, im working with that dataset right now but i concluded that i will need also this for doing a correct work. I'll import the authors and works database as soon as that id is approved. (btw, i'm hooked with openrefine, wikimedia should implement some kind of rehab).--Zeroth (talk) 19:04, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
