[07:48:46] WikiCite!! [07:49:23] \o/ [07:49:44] FOUNDATIONS [07:50:04] * halfak gets his first jetlagged dizzy spell of the day. [07:51:54] Is "wikidatans" a word? [08:06:40] It is now :) [08:06:44] * guillom waves. [08:08:07] o/ [08:13:11] Are we now wikicitians? ;) [08:17:26] I suppose so. [08:17:28] It will never end [08:20:51] * halfak can never catch up with these 2004 (early adopter) Wikipedians. [08:20:53] 2007 (early majority) represent! [08:22:40] 2005 for me, ish, is when I first dipped my feet in the water! [08:25:31] WiFail [08:26:51] BREAK TIEM [08:39:53] * guillom is a twothousandandfivian too. [08:41:27] So this is where all the wikicite people are hanging out? So I hear? [08:48:51] OMG wifi [08:50:30] So far this is not exactly working out. I am disconnected from my physical embodiment! [08:51:39] halfak_ are you in small groups now? [08:52:01] o/ mvolz [08:52:09] Nope. Lydia is giving us an intro to wikidata [08:52:31] We're discussing whether or not dumping metadata about all scholarly articles into wikidata is a good idea or now. [08:53:07] Lydia_WMDE's answer is: It depends. maybe we should look at a subset. Maybe we want the whole thing. [08:53:20] It depends on whether people will use and maintain the items. [08:53:39] Now BTW about Magnus' games. [08:54:19] Thanks :) [08:58:23] A bit of a chicken and egg problem. If citations on Wikipedia were being put into and then pulled from wikidata, then a) the citation in wikidata would definitionally be being used and b) a database would build up over time. That's my personal ideal path forward :) Although there are performance issues having all citations on wikipedia being pulled from wikidata. But if it were gradual hopefully could scale with [12:33:18] * Nemo_bis prefers http://wikipapers.referata.com/ :) [18:06:56] halfak: heh, UCB wants to know when I graduated and I'm running around trying to find out. fun [18:48:42] YuviPanda: 2014 [18:48:59] Emufarmers: ya but they asked for month too [18:49:20] even my logs cannot help :( [18:49:28] :D [18:49:32] I found it was January [18:58:58] 10Quarry: Excel does not recognize Quarry CSV output as UTF-8 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76126#2327562 (10valhallasw) No, the 'UTF-16' seems to actually be UTF-8... [19:02:07] halfak: I take it no one decided to do post-dinner hacking? [19:05:55] 10Quarry: Excel does not recognize Quarry CSV output as UTF-8 - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76126#790571 (10Dzahn) Btw, separate from the encoding... what Excel considers to be a "CSV" actually depends on language settings in Windows.
