[06:41:27] Hoi [06:41:48] is there a property that indicates that someone is mentioned in a publication ? [06:42:43] (relevant to the Panama papers) [10:45:47] If I add ?uselang=en-GB to the end of a wikidata URL but there is no label in British English it says "No label defined". I think it should show the English label. [10:45:55] example: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5282162?uselang=en-GB [10:53:48] i.e. follow mediawiki's language fallbacks [13:35:31] edward: there's a ticket in phabicator for that - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T98014 [13:35:41] oh great, thanks [13:36:11] :) [13:43:03] Lydia_WMDE: hm, you mentioned on the mailing list earlier that the number of labels is taken into account for the item suggester... I guess that's why I keep coming across things where a disambiguation item is the top result? (don't have any examples off the top of my head though) [16:14:39] Question: for work I have been asked to upload a dataset to Wikidata. However, this is because the source dataset will be deleted from the website it is currently hosted on. How would I go about citing the original dataset as a source? [16:15:19] Get archive.org to host a copy first :D [16:15:25] Upload it to either the archive.org or commons [16:15:43] (depending on the format and nature of data) [16:17:25] I haven't checked, but I don't know if this particular thing is archive.org-friendly (it's one of those clunky database things from ancient history) [16:18:37] One idea I had was to just ascertain the entire contents of the database and then dump it on GitHub. [16:19:31] github have a max file size, just fwiw [16:20:19] How big is this maximum? It might be under. [16:20:26] 100MB IIRC? [16:20:44] yeah, looks to be [16:20:46] Or I could do Figshare? [16:21:36] It's a database of power tools and the amount of noise they make. This way when you're buying power tools you can compare noise levels and ideally go with the tool with less noise. [16:21:47] Because noise is hazardous to your health! [18:28:34] hey i am having a question regarding lua scripting for generating lists of items and properties [18:28:42] are there any good examples for this case? [18:43:37] nikki: yeah that is likely it
