I think it would be beneficial to look into this and strive to make a connection, through this property, between WikiData and Amazon Author Pages. Omert33 (talk) 14:37, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
Discussion
Comment This is like Wikidata:Property proposal/OLX.eg ID.@Omert33: Do these pages contain static information? David (talk) 15:33, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Seems like it. Yes. --Omert33 (talk) 16:14, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Not sure. I've adjusted the proposal to reflect that these are specific to Amazon.com, and don't necessarily apply to its other sites. I note that, for example, the above deepakchopra link redirects to https://www.amazon.com/Deepak-Chopra/e/B004KNMPSI while on Amazon.co.uk, the equivalent is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deepak-Chopra/e/B004KNMPSI, which have the string
Deepak-Chopra/e/B004KNMPSIin common. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:12, 3 February 2018 (UTC)- @Pigsonthewing: Yes, Andy. I've noticed that too. I even think it's a better idea due to its public accessibility without the need to guess. I agree that it would be the better way of approaching it. --Omert33 (talk) 04:59, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Support There is static information on the left David (talk) 10:56, 4 February 2018 (UTC)- Support Proposed. --Omert33 (talk) 12:29, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
- Would be helpful to hear from more people on this: ArthurPSmith (talk) 19:16, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
WikiProject Books has more than 50 participants and couldn't be pinged. Please post on the WikiProject's talk page instead.
- Support I would like this, I have been adding them as URLs, we can also use the Amazon link for books too. --RAN (talk) 01:20, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
- Support Looks useful. Danrok (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
