The beast has been slain. I am also retiring from the project until my mental health stabilizes once and for all. Even if it does, I think me contributing here is a net negative for my life. Thank you for everything you have done Dancherek,Whpq, {Wizardman and everyone else. Scorpions1325 (talk) 03:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

@Scorpions1325 congratulations and thank you for your Hurculean efforts in tracking these down. Also, thank you, for enabling my now increased knowledge of moths. Nthep (talk) 09:20, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

copyvio-revdel

Hi Nthep,

Regarding your revdel at Harry Belafonte, I think it's an over-reaction. The content appears to be a few-line excerpt rather than the majority or entirety of the song. It was cited, and and in the original addition and for the seeming majority of the time/revisions it existed, it was in support of prose-commentary. Once the prose-commentary had been deleted (apparently an editorial decision) the lyrics obviously needed to go. But I still think that's all within normal editing bounds. Given how many revisions and editors were involved in the interleaving time, I think it heads into being more disruptive for a relatively small infringement. DMacks (talk) 16:48, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

@DMacks I suppose it does fall within fair-use limits. I'll put them back. Nthep (talk) 16:58, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! DMacks (talk) 21:24, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

  • (ar) Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Session 3: SPARQL Query - Houcemeddine Turki introduces how to forumlate and build SPARQL queries in the Wikidata Query Service.

Tool of the week

• User:Teester/CheckShex.js - a Userscript that adds an input box to a Wikidata page wherein you can enter an EntitySchema (such as E10). When you click "Check", it uses pyshexy to validate the entity against the schema and displays whether the entity passes or fails.

Other Noteworthy Stuff

• 🔥 Big changes are coming to the #WikidataQueryService. If you query for scholarly articles, please take a look at this announcement!
• Is Shakespeare in German something for you? A digital version of the Schlegel/Tieck edition (Aufbau-Verlag 1975) was released with Wikidata connections. (source)

Re: your revdel

Yesterday, you deleted a bunch of revisions from African-American history. The first of those revisions, by 76.248.84.235, did not actually contain the infringing content; it was reverted for other reasons. Would you be willing to undelete it? Thanks. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 21:51, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

@Compassionate727 One revision restored. Nthep (talk) 06:13, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

• New request for comments: Additional rights for bureaucrats - The proposal suggests allowing Wikidata bureaucrats to remove admin rights, which they currently cannot do, to streamline processes, reduce reliance on stewards, and align with practices of other wikis.
• Proposal: Mul labels - proposal of massive addition - The proposal suggests massively adding "mul" labels to Wikidata items for given and family names, using a bot to streamline the process and reduce redundant labels.

Tool of the week

• User:Lagewi/references.js - "Sometimes, the data on Wikidata does not answer all your questions. Some types of information are difficult to encode in statements, or simply has not been encoded on Wikidata yet. In such cases, it might be useful to go through the references attached to claims of the entity, for additional information. To simplify this process, this user script lists all unique references based on stated in (P248) and reference URL (P854). The references are listed in a collapsible list below the table of labels and descriptions, collapsed by default to not be obtrusive." To enable it, include the following line in your common.js: mw.loader.load('//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lagewi/references.js&oldid=2039248554&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');
