[edit]
Support --Epìdosis 14:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)- This is a weird one. This is a digital version of a 2015 book "Ar Aizputi un novadu saistītie". Website was made with the same data, I presume. The data appears to be compiled and curated by a single person. Her credentials appear in order, so I have no reason to doubt the accuracy. The site does have unique info not found elsewhere as she interviewed people firsthand and cites sources otherwise. It does lean heavily on "personal angle" rather than any sort of structured data. My concern is that the author is 98 now. Last update seems to be 2019 and 2016 before that a bunch after initial release. "Autortiesības" ("copyright") is just a text on the website. There is no contact info. There is no info about the plan here for this website and maintaining it. What happens if, for example, I spot an error - how will this get updated? I don't like that they haven't even set up HTTPS, this screams made by the "nephew who is good with computers". That said, the aizpute.lv domain belong to the local Municipality, so they could presumably retain this indefinitely. But I very much doubt they will ever update this unless all the IP rights are settled and some sort of initiative for this happens (or some volunteer takes over). I don't know if any of this is relevant to having a property, but it is likely the data will just remain as it is now until the website goes 404. I guess I don't oppose this particular "database", but I do think it would have been better served as a source for other long-term maintained databases. — HELLKNOWZ ∣ TALK ∣ enWiki 09:52, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
