  • Showcase items: Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (Q309988)
  • Fun Fact: According to Wikidata, this is the year of 2004 (Q2014)
• DevelopmentWord from John
  • To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.

Listes en rapport avec la NBA

Bonjour Bserin,

Je me permets de vous écrire car je vois que vous avez pas mal contribué sur les listes liées aux joueurs de la NBA, domaine où je en connais rigoureusement rien. L'utilisateur Floflo2903 (d · c · b), nouvellement inscrit, fait subir d'énormes cures d'amaigrissement (non justifiées en commentaire de modification) à ces listes (voir contributions de l'utilisateur).

Discussion:Château Citran/Suppression

Cher membre du Projet Vigne et Vin vous êtes convié à aller voter sur cette PaS. Ce Château n'est pas admissible selon les critères d'admissibilité du monde viti-vinicole et en ce moment même si il y avait cloture cette page serait conservé. C'est histoire de ne pas ouvrir la boite de pandore et qu'une multitude d'article (hors critères selon nos règles) puissent être conservé. Cordialement. Pmpmpm (d) 17 avril 2014 à 18:10 (CET)

On n'demande qu'à en rire

Bonjour, j'ai vu que vous avez ajouté dans l'article "Saison 4 d'On n'demande qu'à en rire" les passages en duo pour Arnaud Tsamere et Ben (en enlevant du coup un passage dans leur case individuelle, écrivant que le passage était numeroté comme 6eme duo). Cette modification a été défaite par un IP. Cependant, il y a une règle que l'on a pu observé en saison 3 (écrite par ailleurs dans l'article "On n'demande qu'à en rire" section "esprit de troupe") qui est :

-" à partir du 8 mars 2011, c'est le nombre de passages en duo qui est comptabilisé à l'annonce du sketch, même si ces passages sont également pris en compte dans le nombre de passages individuels de chacun des humoristes. "

Voila une petite explication, même si cela n'est pas grave en soit. Mais par contre, même si les passages en duo sont comptés individuellement, on peut, si un consensus se dégage, parler des duos formés (ou du moins des plus récurents, comme justement Ben et Tsamère).

Bon sinon bonne soirée, Kag90 (discuter) 21 avril 2014 à 20:23 (CEST)

Un court message pour vous signaler que je vous ait répondu sur Discussion:Saison 4 d'On n'demande qu'à en rire ;)

Kag90 (discuter) 22 avril 2014 à 11:56 (CEST)

Merci pour ta réponse. Je pense juste que si l'on signale les duos, ils faut le faire aussi sur les pages des autres saisons. Je propose de les signaler soit à partir de 3 duos, soit signaler tous les duos. J'attends ton avis (et je n'y ferai pas avant demain de toute façon).

  • Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)

From This Moment On (Shania Twain)

Bonsoir !

Je suis retombé sur l'article il y a quelques jours et j'ai complété mes ajouts de juillet 2012. Je pense que la section sur le clip et les interprétations scéniques est perfectible mais le reste me semble complet. Une fois tout ceci fini, je pense que cela peut être un bon article, qu'en penses-tu ? Là, je retourne sur un autre article et après je serai plus dispo sur celui-ci. Cordialement, Yoshi ^{[Talk That Talk]} 21 juillet 2014 à 01:09 (CEST)

  • un article non catégorisé

Phe-bot (discuter) 2 septembre 2014 à 13:47 (CEST)

Article "Ligne Pertuis - Aix-en-Provence - Marseille"

Bonjour Bserin,
Il semble que tu aies initié l'article Ligne Pertuis - Aix-en-Provence - Marseille.
Il vient d'être sauvé (de justesse par absence de consensus) de la suppression.
Il me paraît utile de l'améliorer et notamment de le corriger d'un certain nombre d'anomalies ou d'incohérences que j'ai cru y déceler (voir mon questionnement dans la PDD du projet Chemin de fer).
As-tu des réponses complémentaires à celles de MCL80 ?
Merci d'avance.

Celtics de Boston

Bonjour, je te vois moins contribuer sur le basket-ball en ce moment, j'espère que ce n'est que passager et que tout va bien. Je viens te signaler que depuis quelques semaines une véritable mine d'or de photographies des joueurs des années 50 à 70 est importée sur Commons, par un utilisateur en particulier. Quant à moi, je me "contente" de les catégoriser ; (n'empêche que j'aurais bien aimé qu'elles soient là pour notre Wikiconcours !) Comme tu as grandement participé à leur labellisation, je te laisse découvrir le résultat et les intégrer dans le corps des articles pour Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, John Havlicek...

Nom des pilotes

Bonjour, J'ai supprimé les noms des pilotes du Vol 9525 Germanwings que vous avez ajoutés parce qu'ils n'étaient pa mentionnés par les sources citées dans l'article et que les médias disent justement que la compagnie refuse de donner les noms (question un peu brûlante en ce moment). Mais je vois que vous êtes un spécialiste de l'aéronautique, donc peut-être avez-vous une raison ou une source qui m'a échappé ? Cordialement, Seudo (discuter) 26 mars 2015 à 12:23 (CET) Bon, le procureur vient de confirmer l'identité du co-pilote, donc mon message n'est plus guère d'actualité.

Wikidata weekly summary #153

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.

• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Wikidata by country, or: The Wealth of Nation's Data
  • Wikidata the Game - one year in

  • ~8000 biographical items with dates in the description, but no birth/death date statements
  • Magnus says ~8% (~1.4M) of all Wikidata items do not have any site links to Wikipedia etc.; knowledge that exists exclusively on Wikidata
  • Bene* wrote a user script that adds a filter bar above the statement section and lets you filter it
  • Magnus wrote a quick user script to move identifiers into the right sidebar to show how a statement section without identifiers would look like. This came up as part of a longer discussion on the mailinglist about moving identifier statements into their own section. Progress is being tracked at phabricator:T95287.
  • Samsung releases Freebase-Wikidata mappings in CC0: 4.4M pairs generated from Wikipedia links and custom code
  • Thanks to Bene* hovercards now also work for items and properties
  • New tool by Magnus for Wikidata item labels
• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: short name, list of episodes, named as
  • New task forces: Star Wars, Open Access
• Development
  • We are going to change the way value suggestions are ranked when entering a new statement. This will help with "male" and "female" not showing up among the top suggestions. Previously we ranked by number of sitelinks. We will change this to the maximum of sitelinks and labels. So if an item has labels in many languages but no sitelinks like "male" and "female" it will still show up high in the suggestions. (phabricator:T94404)
  • Discussed how to move forward with identifiers. Outcome: They should get their own datatype. (phabricator:T95287)
  • Implemented arbitrary access for the {{#property:…}} parser function. This can be invoked on the wikis that have arbitrary access enabled by using {{#property:P123|from=Q42}}. So far this is only Wikidata itself.

  • Improved the performance of wbgetentities significantly when loading a large number of entities

L'article Constance Dorléac est proposé à la suppression

Bonjour, L’article « Constance Dorléac » est proposé à la suppression (cf. Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer). Après avoir pris connaissance des critères généraux d’admissibilité des articles et des critères spécifiques, vous pourrez donner votre avis sur la page de discussion Discussion:Constance Dorléac/Suppression. Le meilleur moyen d’obtenir un consensus pour la conservation de l’article est de fournir des sources secondaires fiables et indépendantes. Si vous ne pouvez trouver de telles sources, c’est que l’article n’est probablement pas admissible.
