Hi, Pintoch! Thank you again for supporting the Sustainability Initiative, which aims at reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. Over the past two years, more than 200 Wikipedians from all over the world have come together to push the Wikimedia movement towards greater sustainability.
What's new?
We are writing you this message because there is great news: The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has finally passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Also, we have created a cool logo and found a nice name for the project which you can see on the right :-)
What's next?
Currently, we are working with Wikimedia Foundation staff to make sustainability a key priority for the selection of a new location for Wikimedia servers in Singapore. Also, we have presented the Wikimedia Foundation with a green energy roadmap to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019.
Please help!
Let's keep this project moving forward – and there are several ways in which you can help:
If you have any questions, you can contact us on on Meta. Again, thank you very much for your support! -- Aubrey und Gnom, 2 April 2017 —Preceding undated comment added 21:25, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
A semi-automated tool is great, but please consider a stripped version that would add the non-controversial stuff automatically. The semi-automated version can be the full-featured that suggests the full gamut of links, and the editor can take responsibility for which to add. This will also let humans focus on things that actually need human review. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 20:38, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

blacklisted) we dropped to really low edit rates. If we run the bot on the whole wiki as of today, my estimates indicate that it would not add more than a few hundred links in total! With the semi-automated tool, a single editor can add more links than that with very little effort. But we'll see how it goes: if a super-safe criterion to accept links surfaces as we use the bot, surely we can submit a BRFA for that. −

is just a very bad response to the problem of copyright violations. There are also copyright violations in institutional repositories! As we blacklist things, new problems will keep stacking up and reduce the recall of the bot. I don't want to spend months running trials, it's time to get things done. I promise you the volume of potentially safe automated edits is negligible compared to what we will add with the manual one. I withdrew the BRFA because the community already spent way too much time on it, and the BAG has other things to do. Also, as a bot runner it would be my responsibility to respond to problems (which will inevitably happen). I just overestimated the quality of the underlying data and underestimated the workload it would be to curate it manually. If anybody wants to take the code of the bot and submit a new BRFA, starting where we left, they are of course welcome to do so! −

Dear Pintoch, because of #OAWeek the tool seems to have gotten some renewed interest (from me and a few other at least), but it seems the data it uses is now no longer useful. Often it gives old suggestions where the edit has already been made (25% of the cases), or where the "found" link is no longer working (25% of the cases). Also, I found many links suggested which are of different articles. The latter I would not like to "skip", but in fact reject (on the ground that the version found is not the same document), ensuring that no one else gets asked again and again to look at it. Otherwise, thanks for your nice tool! -- Egon Willighagen ( talk) 08:36, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Facto Post – Issue 7 – 15 December 2017
A new bibliographical landscapeAt the beginning of December, Wikidata items on individual scientific articles passed the 10 million mark. This figure contrasts with the state of play in early summer, when there were around half a million. In the big picture, Wikidata is now documenting the scientific literature at a rate that is about eight times as fast as papers are published. As 2017 ends, progress is quite evident. Behind this achievement are a technical advance ( fatameh), and bots that do the lifting. Much more than dry migration of metadata is potentially involved, however. If paper A cites paper B, both papers having an item, a link can be created on Wikidata, and the information presented to both human readers, and machines. This cross-linking is one of the most significant aspects of the scientific literature, and now a long-sought open version is rapidly being built up. The effort for the lifting of copyright restrictions on citation data of this kind has had real momentum behind it during 2017. WikiCite and the I4OC have been pushing hard, with the result that on CrossRef over 50% of the citation data is open. Now the holdout publishers are being lobbied to release rights on citations. But all that is just the beginning. Topics of papers are identified, authors disambiguated, with significant progress on the use of the four million ORCID IDs for researchers, and proposals formulated to identify methodology in a machine-readable way. P4510 on Wikidata has been introduced so that methodology can sit comfortably on items about papers. More is on the way. OABot applies the unpaywall principle to Wikipedia referencing. It has been proposed that Wikidata could assist WorldCat in compiling the global history of book translation. Watch this space. And make promoting #1lib1ref one of your New Year's resolutions. Happy holidays, all! Links

Facto Post – Issue 8 – 15 January 2018
Metadata on the MarchFrom the days of hard-copy liner notes on music albums, metadata have stood outside a piece or file, while adding to understanding of where it comes from, and some of what needs to be appreciated about its content. In the GLAM sector, the accumulation of accurate metadata for objects is key to the mission of an institution, and its presentation in cataloguing. Today Wikipedia turns 17, with worlds still to conquer. Zooming out from the individual GLAM object to the ontology in which it is set, one such world becomes apparent: GLAMs use custom ontologies, and those introduce massive incompatibilities. From a recent article by sadads, we quote the observation that "vocabularies needed for many collections, topics and intellectual spaces defy the expectations of the larger professional communities." A job for the encyclopedist, certainly. But the data-minded Wikimedian has the advantages of Wikidata, starting with its multilingual data, and facility with aliases. The controlled vocabulary — sometimes referred to as a "thesaurus" as term of art — simplifies search: if a "spade" must be called that, rather than "shovel", it is easier to find all spade references. That control comes at a cost. Case studies in that article show what can lie ahead. The schema crosswalk, in jargon, is a potential answer to the GLAM Babel of proliferating and expanding vocabularies. Even if you have no interest in Wikidata as such, simply vocabularies V and W, if both V and W are matched to Wikidata, then a "crosswalk" arises from term v in V to w in W, whenever v and w both match to the same item d in Wikidata. For metadata mobility, match to Wikidata. It's apparently that simple: infrastructure requirements have turned out, so far, to be challenges that can be met. Links

Facto Post – Issue 9 – 5 February 2018
Wikidata as HubOne way of looking at Wikidata relates it to the semantic web concept, around for about as long as Wikipedia, and realised in dozens of distributed Web institutions. It sees Wikidata as supplying central, encyclopedic coverage of linked structured data, and looks ahead to greater support for "federated queries" that draw together information from all parts of the emerging network of websites. Another perspective might be likened to a photographic negative of that one: Wikidata as an already-functioning Web hub. Over half of its properties are identifiers on other websites. These are Wikidata's "external links", to use Wikipedia terminology: one type for the DOI of a publication, another for the VIAF page of an author, with thousands more such. Wikidata links out to sites that are not nominally part of the semantic web, effectively drawing them into a larger system. The crosswalk possibilities of the systematic construction of these links was covered in Issue 8. Wikipedia:External links speaks of them as kept "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article." Here Wikidata finds more of a function. On viaf.org one can type a VIAF author identifier into the search box, and find the author page. The Wikidata Resolver tool, these days including Open Street Map, Scholia etc., allows this kind of lookup. The hub tool by maxlath takes a major step further, allowing both lookup and crosswalk to be encoded in a single URL. Links

Hi, Pintoch! Thank you again for supporting the Sustainability Initiative, which aims at reducing the environmental impact of the Wikimedia movement. Over the past two years, more than 200 Wikipedians from all over the world have come together to push the Wikimedia movement towards greater sustainability.
What's new?
We are writing you this message because there is great news: The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has finally passed a resolution stating that the Foundation is committed to seeking ways to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. Also, we have created a cool logo and found a nice name for the project which you can see on the right :-)
What's next?
Currently, we are working with Wikimedia Foundation staff to make sustainability a key priority for the selection of a new location for Wikimedia servers in Singapore. Also, we have presented the Wikimedia Foundation with a green energy roadmap to have all Wikimedia servers run on renewable energy by 2019.
Please help!
Let's keep this project moving forward – and there are several ways in which you can help:
If you have any questions, you can contact us on on Meta. Again, thank you very much for your support! -- Aubrey und Gnom, 2 April 2017 —Preceding undated comment added 21:25, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
A semi-automated tool is great, but please consider a stripped version that would add the non-controversial stuff automatically. The semi-automated version can be the full-featured that suggests the full gamut of links, and the editor can take responsibility for which to add. This will also let humans focus on things that actually need human review. Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 20:38, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

blacklisted) we dropped to really low edit rates. If we run the bot on the whole wiki as of today, my estimates indicate that it would not add more than a few hundred links in total! With the semi-automated tool, a single editor can add more links than that with very little effort. But we'll see how it goes: if a super-safe criterion to accept links surfaces as we use the bot, surely we can submit a BRFA for that. −

is just a very bad response to the problem of copyright violations. There are also copyright violations in institutional repositories! As we blacklist things, new problems will keep stacking up and reduce the recall of the bot. I don't want to spend months running trials, it's time to get things done. I promise you the volume of potentially safe automated edits is negligible compared to what we will add with the manual one. I withdrew the BRFA because the community already spent way too much time on it, and the BAG has other things to do. Also, as a bot runner it would be my responsibility to respond to problems (which will inevitably happen). I just overestimated the quality of the underlying data and underestimated the workload it would be to curate it manually. If anybody wants to take the code of the bot and submit a new BRFA, starting where we left, they are of course welcome to do so! −

Dear Pintoch, because of #OAWeek the tool seems to have gotten some renewed interest (from me and a few other at least), but it seems the data it uses is now no longer useful. Often it gives old suggestions where the edit has already been made (25% of the cases), or where the "found" link is no longer working (25% of the cases). Also, I found many links suggested which are of different articles. The latter I would not like to "skip", but in fact reject (on the ground that the version found is not the same document), ensuring that no one else gets asked again and again to look at it. Otherwise, thanks for your nice tool! -- Egon Willighagen ( talk) 08:36, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to add a +1 to the idea of a "reject" button - I have seen about 75% of suggestions that I'd like to reject (404s, copyright problems) but only option is 'skip'. Cheers! Love the tool! -- TheLeaper ( talk) 19:41, 25 October 2017 (UTC)

Facto Post – Issue 7 – 15 December 2017
A new bibliographical landscapeAt the beginning of December, Wikidata items on individual scientific articles passed the 10 million mark. This figure contrasts with the state of play in early summer, when there were around half a million. In the big picture, Wikidata is now documenting the scientific literature at a rate that is about eight times as fast as papers are published. As 2017 ends, progress is quite evident. Behind this achievement are a technical advance ( fatameh), and bots that do the lifting. Much more than dry migration of metadata is potentially involved, however. If paper A cites paper B, both papers having an item, a link can be created on Wikidata, and the information presented to both human readers, and machines. This cross-linking is one of the most significant aspects of the scientific literature, and now a long-sought open version is rapidly being built up. The effort for the lifting of copyright restrictions on citation data of this kind has had real momentum behind it during 2017. WikiCite and the I4OC have been pushing hard, with the result that on CrossRef over 50% of the citation data is open. Now the holdout publishers are being lobbied to release rights on citations. But all that is just the beginning. Topics of papers are identified, authors disambiguated, with significant progress on the use of the four million ORCID IDs for researchers, and proposals formulated to identify methodology in a machine-readable way. P4510 on Wikidata has been introduced so that methodology can sit comfortably on items about papers. More is on the way. OABot applies the unpaywall principle to Wikipedia referencing. It has been proposed that Wikidata could assist WorldCat in compiling the global history of book translation. Watch this space. And make promoting #1lib1ref one of your New Year's resolutions. Happy holidays, all! Links

Facto Post – Issue 8 – 15 January 2018
Metadata on the MarchFrom the days of hard-copy liner notes on music albums, metadata have stood outside a piece or file, while adding to understanding of where it comes from, and some of what needs to be appreciated about its content. In the GLAM sector, the accumulation of accurate metadata for objects is key to the mission of an institution, and its presentation in cataloguing. Today Wikipedia turns 17, with worlds still to conquer. Zooming out from the individual GLAM object to the ontology in which it is set, one such world becomes apparent: GLAMs use custom ontologies, and those introduce massive incompatibilities. From a recent article by sadads, we quote the observation that "vocabularies needed for many collections, topics and intellectual spaces defy the expectations of the larger professional communities." A job for the encyclopedist, certainly. But the data-minded Wikimedian has the advantages of Wikidata, starting with its multilingual data, and facility with aliases. The controlled vocabulary — sometimes referred to as a "thesaurus" as term of art — simplifies search: if a "spade" must be called that, rather than "shovel", it is easier to find all spade references. That control comes at a cost. Case studies in that article show what can lie ahead. The schema crosswalk, in jargon, is a potential answer to the GLAM Babel of proliferating and expanding vocabularies. Even if you have no interest in Wikidata as such, simply vocabularies V and W, if both V and W are matched to Wikidata, then a "crosswalk" arises from term v in V to w in W, whenever v and w both match to the same item d in Wikidata. For metadata mobility, match to Wikidata. It's apparently that simple: infrastructure requirements have turned out, so far, to be challenges that can be met. Links

Facto Post – Issue 9 – 5 February 2018
Wikidata as HubOne way of looking at Wikidata relates it to the semantic web concept, around for about as long as Wikipedia, and realised in dozens of distributed Web institutions. It sees Wikidata as supplying central, encyclopedic coverage of linked structured data, and looks ahead to greater support for "federated queries" that draw together information from all parts of the emerging network of websites. Another perspective might be likened to a photographic negative of that one: Wikidata as an already-functioning Web hub. Over half of its properties are identifiers on other websites. These are Wikidata's "external links", to use Wikipedia terminology: one type for the DOI of a publication, another for the VIAF page of an author, with thousands more such. Wikidata links out to sites that are not nominally part of the semantic web, effectively drawing them into a larger system. The crosswalk possibilities of the systematic construction of these links was covered in Issue 8. Wikipedia:External links speaks of them as kept "minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article." Here Wikidata finds more of a function. On viaf.org one can type a VIAF author identifier into the search box, and find the author page. The Wikidata Resolver tool, these days including Open Street Map, Scholia etc., allows this kind of lookup. The hub tool by maxlath takes a major step further, allowing both lookup and crosswalk to be encoded in a single URL. Links

Greetings! When we met (quite a while ago now), I was impressed by your web browser. It seemed very ergonomic both for keyboard navigation and for editing text fields. I used to use ItsAllText! and Vimperator, but your setup seemed to go much further. I have been looking at Xombrero (if only it weren't apparently abandoned) and other options recently, but thought I should ping you for tips, if that's OK. (N.B. I also noticed that this help page is out of date, sadly.)
Would you be willing to remind me what you were using, either here or by emailing me with pointers? Thanks, and best wishes, Zazpot ( talk) 17:50, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Mourant Ozannes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page State Street ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
