Doug, If you look at this - you will see why I removed the WD infobox. It's picking up the wrong "collection". The 3 collections on the WD item are correct, but not in a good sequence. As the article explains, it only belonged to Mellon for a year or so, & he bought it to give to the NGA. Johnbod ( talk) 15:29, 23 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi RexxS,
I sadly noticed that my last edit on snorkeling page was removed (type of snorkels). I added approx one month ago and I just noticed that the source link was not placed on the correct way, so I just wanted to correct it on the way like the others placed their links.
To do this I updated my edit 2-3x because something went wrong, so this was not a test from my side.
Can you please review and put it back, or please let me know what is the correct way if it is still not good?
I am not a spammer and I believe this edit is adequate, the information was missing from the original wiki page.
Thanks -- A G Owen ( talk) 16:56, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
"Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."I see no evidence of Snorkel Around The World having any reputation whatsoever for fact-checking and accuracy. Moreover, the site appears to be a commercial enterprise, with links to Amazon generating income for the site. I find it difficult to accept that such a site can make neutral pronouncements about issues such as CO2 buildup being caused by the design of the mask, when it is promoting particular masks (and stands to benefit from their purchase).
"There are safety concerns pointing to the possibility of excessive CO2 build-up inside full face snorkel masks", for example, is a biomedical claim that you are trying to support using Snorkel Around The World as a source. That is completely unacceptable.
@RexxS
Sorry I am not agree with you since on that page there are more sites mentioned in the footer. 1: snorkelstore.net why is that site different in your point? (4. "Full Face Snorkel Mask Reviews: Tribord EasyBreathe Alternatives for a Lower Price, Lower Quality) 2. if you check the links you can find even link affiliate through amazon I think this is not the right way... (7. "Best Quality 2017 Full Face Snorkel Mask") Anyway I don't want to fight with anyone but I wanted to understand the system. Either we follow the rules or not we have to decide. Let me know. Thx. -- A G Owen ( talk) 09:33, 29 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by A G Owen ( talk • contribs) 09:24, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

GLAM ♥ data — what is a gallery, library, archive or museum without a catalogue? It follows that Wikidata must love librarians. Bibliography supports students and researchers in any topic, but open and machine-readable bibliographic data even more so, outside the silo. Cue the WikiCite initiative, which was meeting in conference this week, in the Bay Area of California. ![]() In fact there is a broad scope: "Open Knowledge Maps via SPARQL" and the "Sum of All Welsh Literature", identification of research outputs, Library.Link Network and Bibframe 2.0, OSCAR and LUCINDA (who they?), OCLC and Scholia, all these co-exist on the agenda. Certainly more library science is coming Wikidata's way. That poses the question about the other direction: is more Wikimedia technology advancing on libraries? Good point. Wikimedians generally are not aware of the tech background that can be assumed, unless they are close to current training for librarians. A baseline definition is useful here: " bash, git and OpenRefine". Compare and contrast with pywikibot, GitHub and mix'n'match. Translation: scripting for automation, version control, data set matching and wrangling in the large, are on the agenda also for contemporary library work. Certainly there is some possible common ground here. Time to understand rather more about the motivations that operate in the library sector.

Hi RexxS. I've been working on {{ Commons category/sandbox}} to try to improve its connection with Wikidata (following up on the RfC). It would be quite useful to have a Lua function that fetches the Commons category sitelink either from the linked Wikidata entry or from topic's main category (P910), falling back to Commons category (P373) where there is no sitelink (or the only commons sitelink is to a gallery not a category). I think I can do that in an analogous way to the commons infobox sitelinks, using the "getSiteLink" function from Module:Wikidata plus a modified version of getQid from Module:WikidataIB that uses P910 rather than P301, but maybe you could write this in a neater way in a single Lua function? Thanks. Mike Peel ( talk) 14:42, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello RexxS,
This year's award for the Reviewer of the Year goes to Onel5969. Around on Wikipedia since 2011, their staggering number of 26,554 reviews over the past twelve months makes them, together with an additional total of 275,285 edits, one of Wikipedia's most prolific users.
See also the list of top 100 reviewers.
The backlog is now approaching 5,000, and still rising. There are around 640 holders of the NPR flag, most of whom appear to be inactive. The 10% of the reviewers who do 90% of the work could do with some support especially as some of them are now taking a well deserved break.
At #1 position, the Community Wishlist poll closed on 3 December with a resounding success for NPP, reminding the WMF and the volunteer communities just how critical NPP is to maintaining a clean encyclopedia and the need for improved tools to do it. A big 'thank you' to everyone who supported the NPP proposals. See the results.
Due to a number of changes having been made to the feed since this three-minute video was created, we have been asked by the WMF for feedback on the video with a view to getting it brought up to date to reflect the new features of the system. Please leave your comments here, particularly mentioning how helpful you find it for new reviewers.

Hi RexxS. I've started a proposal/discussion at d:Wikidata:Property proposal/Astronomical coordinates about astronomical coordinates, and it turns out that coordinate location (P625) supports coordinates on different globes. Can you access the globe value from Lua? If so, being able to fetch the globe value would be a useful addition to WikidataIB, at the very least so that I can disable the map at commons:Category:Andromeda Galaxy, but perhaps also {{ Sky}} here could be revised so that it can fetch the coordinates from Wikidata (or maybe that just needs a resync with {{ Coord}}). Thanks. Mike Peel ( talk) 21:39, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

Zotero is free software for reference management by the Center for History and New Media: see Wikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero. It is also an active user community, and has broad-based language support. ![]() Besides the handiness of Zotero's warehousing of personal citation collections, the Zotero translator underlies the citoid service, at work behind the VisualEditor. Metadata from Wikidata can be imported into Zotero; and in the other direction the zotkat tool from the University of Mannheim allows Zotero bibliographies to be exported to Wikidata, by item creation. With an extra feature to add statements, that route could lead to much development of the focus list (P5008) tagging on Wikidata, by WikiProjects. There is also a large-scale encyclopedic dimension here. The construction of Zotero translators is one facet of Web scraping that has a strong community and open source basis. In that it resembles the less formal mix'n'match import community, and growing networks around other approaches that can integrate datasets into Wikidata, such as the use of OpenRefine. Looking ahead, the thirtieth birthday of the World Wide Web falls in 2019, and yet the ambition to make webpages routinely readable by machines can still seem an ever-retreating mirage. Wikidata should not only be helping Wikimedia integrate its projects, an ongoing process represented by Structured Data on Commons and lexemes. It should also be acting as a catalyst to bring scraping in from the cold, with institutional strengths as well as resourceful code.
Diversitech, the latest ContentMine grant application to the Wikimedia Foundation, is in its community review stage until January 2.

Zotero is free software for reference management by the Center for History and New Media: see Wikipedia:Citing sources with Zotero. It is also an active user community, and has broad-based language support. ![]() Besides the handiness of Zotero's warehousing of personal citation collections, the Zotero translator underlies the citoid service, at work behind the VisualEditor. Metadata from Wikidata can be imported into Zotero; and in the other direction the zotkat tool from the University of Mannheim allows Zotero bibliographies to be exported to Wikidata, by item creation. With an extra feature to add statements, that route could lead to much development of the focus list (P5008) tagging on Wikidata, by WikiProjects. There is also a large-scale encyclopedic dimension here. The construction of Zotero translators is one facet of Web scraping that has a strong community and open source basis. In that it resembles the less formal mix'n'match import community, and growing networks around other approaches that can integrate datasets into Wikidata, such as the use of OpenRefine. Looking ahead, the thirtieth birthday of the World Wide Web falls in 2019, and yet the ambition to make webpages routinely readable by machines can still seem an ever-retreating mirage. Wikidata should not only be helping Wikimedia integrate its projects, an ongoing process represented by Structured Data on Commons and lexemes. It should also be acting as a catalyst to bring scraping in from the cold, with institutional strengths as well as resourceful code.
Diversitech, the latest ContentMine grant application to the Wikimedia Foundation, is in its community review stage until January 2.
