To do[edit]
Import Articles/Abstracts/Posters[edit]
Info Most of these were found in the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis bibliography and paper archive — Huge thanks to Marc Young for the head start!
Articles/Abstracts/Posters: 
Done
Add main subjects to each paper[edit]
Info Use Scholia's topic curation page to assist.
These are likely best done manually but another option is to use ItemSubjector.
All of the locations where experiments were carried out should be added as main subjects — places can be found by searching for items around coordinates with this query.
Complete the citation graph[edit]
Every paper should have a list of citations (cites work (P2860)), these are often added by bots like Citationgraph bot but sometimes it's better to do them by hand.
Roderic Page's Wikidata Cites Work(s) is a great way to semi-automate the process: When working on a specific paper, add its DOI to the tool, run the result through QuickStatements, then check the resulting citations. A useful way to ensure their correctness is to add a series ordinal qualifier to each citation, sort them with rearrange values.js, then check to see if any numbers are missing and add them manually if needed.
Disambiguate all authors[edit]
Info Use Scholia's topic curation page to assist.
All of the top authors are done but there are still over a hundred people who have only have a single work to their name — Author Disambiguator is the tool of choice here.
The best way to prioritise efforts here is by using Scholia's curation score combined with queries that return subsets of the full (daunting) list of undisambiguated authors:
- Items with no disambiguated authors
- Authors of scholarly articles
- Authors of abstracts
- Comet Research Group co-authors
- Authors of anything other than news articles and press releases
- Items where the primary author has yet not been disambiguated
Housekeeping[edit]
Here's some things that need doing every once in a while:
- Update the Wikipedia (en) talk page list of authors who have Wikipedia articles with this query
- Update the Author Disambiguator list of all authors with this query
- Add maintained by WikiProject (P6104)WikiProject Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (Q109710030) statements to related items (these can be done manually, or found with this query)
- Keep an eye on things with the Item Quality Evaluator
- Paste
SELECT ?item WHERE {?item wdt:P6104 wd:Q109710030.}into the SPARQL box to evaluate all YDIH items
- Paste
Queries[edit]
Info After clicking on one of these links, hover over the right hand side of the window and select Edit SPARQL to adapt these queries to your needs.
Main queries[edit]
- Scholarly articles
- List of reply articles (alternate)
- Press releases and news articles about the YDIH
- Map of main subjects
- All papers and their external IDs
- All authors and their external IDs
- Authors with Wikilinks
- YDIH related people with Twitter accounts
- Methods used in YDIH related articles
Interesting queries[edit]
- Articles that are missing from "The Bib"
- Articles published in (likely) predatory journals
- Articles about black mats that don't have the YDIH as a main subject
- Articles that cite YDIH related articles but no not have the YDIH as a main subject
- Articles where one of the authors is affiliated with the Comet Research Group
- Articles where none of the authors are affiliated with the Comet Research Group
- Articles that cite Surovell et al. (2009) including CiTO annotaions — Likely not complete — Inspired by table 2 in Premature rejection in science: The case of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (Q110444998)
- News articles about the YDIH featuring Mark Boslough — Likely not complete
- News articles about the YDIH that also talk about airbursts — Should only include articles that go into detail about the topic of airbursts
- People who have participated in YDIH related works (e.g. interviewees of news articles)
- Episodes of the Joe Rogan Experience where the YDIH may have been discussed
- Authors of YDIH related works who have died
- Articles mentioned by Martin Sweatman in his series covering the debate around the YDIH — Citation graph is not yet complete!
- YDIH investigations that took place at Blackwater Draw — Not complete, items need to have main subject (P921) equal to Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (Q1092095) and Blackwater Draw archaeological site (Q47145451).
- Things named after YDIH related people
Utility queries[edit]
- Author education and employer locations — Useful for adding and fixing location statements (on universities etc.)
- Author names — Useful for adding and fixing given and family names (work from the top down, the entries at the bottom should be correct)
- Author descriptions — Useful for adding and improving descriptions ("researcher" is better than nothing but it's not particularly helpful)
- A better option may be to use TABernacle here with the same query, this allows you to edit the descriptions quickly (double click on the description field, add one, then press enter)
- Items that don't have anything that links to them — Useful for prioritising linking efforts
- Items with un-ordered authors — Most of these just need a qualifier with series ordinal (P1545)"1"
- Items sorted by the number of external IDs — The more the better!
- Items sorted by the number of citations — Look out for items with only a few
- Citations without items — Most of these need converting into Wikidata items
- Citations series ordinal completeness — See: #Complete the citation graph (items must have at least one cites work statement)
