La verdad vi que la entrada para Manuela Escamilla estaba repetida. No sé cómo hacer la fusión. En este caso tenía menos de 6 horas. Antes era más fácil solucionar ese error de los usuarios de no utilizar la entrada ya existente y se podía actuar de inmediato e incluir toda la información en la entrada más antigua. Ahora no se pueden editar los datos, al menos desde mi computador. Voy a respetar lo que se ha decidido, aunque no estoy de acuerdo con redirigir y creo que se debe trasladar información a la entrada más antigua.

Hola si/no ruso. Pues me los he llevado todos por el de autoedit no me funciona y desconozco la razón. Veamos si refrescando se activa también. Ya aprenderé las nuevas herramientas. Muchas gracias. Petronas (talk) 21:37, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Está perfectamente explicado, y entre mis accesorios de encuentran activadas esas herramientas, pero no veo la opción "Herramientas" que dices en la página del sujeto, por ejemplo el de hoy, Q21168777. Algo hago mal. Petronas (talk) 09:00, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

...al primer intento. Y veo horrorizado que el señor del hilo de arriba -que me da mil vueltas en estos y otros menesteres- ya tuvo sus dudas. Lejos de consolarme, me abruma.

Muchas gracias (resulta que se lo he agradecido a Asqueladd porque vi de reojo el chivato rojo y era la última edición, después del chorreo tuyo, por cierto a ver si aprendo a hacer estos 'trabajos a mano' en vez de pasarlos -no lo sabía, lo juro-) ...Ahora llevaba un rato 'investigando' por qué un tipo tan aparente como Manuel Bartolomé Cossío solo tenía 3 identif. Echándole valor he abierto el Auth.C. y como salían muchos más le he dado al + (con la esperanza que este robot superlisto no repitiese los que ya había... ¡y lo ha hecho bien!). De este lance colijo que el hecho de que aparezcan identif. en un artículo no significa que estén todos? O hay una explicación evidente por encima de todo esto que yo me imagino? Sabré valorar sus explicaciones -que no siempre entiendo- y repetar sus silencios -que siempre entiendo. No le demoro más.--Latemplanza (talk) 16:16, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Tremendo galimatías para un ratón de la Biblioteca de Alejandría. Eniguei, lo importante, aunque no 'esté todo', es 'estar por la labor' y con la mente clara (bueno esto ya es mucho suponer...;-)--Latemplanza (talk) 16:33, 17 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Tú lo has querido, pequeño... (entender entender no entiendo casi nada, hago como los primates y los loros: observo, escucho y reproduzco/copio) Mi método de aprendizaje-gruyere se sostiene -pobremente- en ver lo que tú has hecho e intentar comprenderlo. Y si lo tengo medio claro, copiar el proceso. Coincido en que no hace falta que estén todos los códigos. Y me preocupa que a veces ocurra por ejemplo con Ilse Schütz [1] (mira mi comentario al pié), como verás, el Worldcat mezcla varias personas, que no sé si es habitual (y desde luego no sé cómo enmendarlo). En cuanto a rellenar campos, aunque parezca increíble, me puede la prudencia, lo siento. Resumiendo, el script de Authority Control me parece una herramienta que ayudará al usuario de WP a encontrar distintas versiones sobre un individuo o materia para construir su propio artículo, sin desmerecer que el 'nuestro' le pueda servir de contraste, referencia e incluso guía... En cuanto a los detallitos, poco a poco le iré cogiendo el tranquillo (con vuestra ayuda, necesariamente).
Ah, cuando decías -en el hilo de arriba- que "En primer lugar es preciso tener rellena la etiqueta del elemento en el idioma que tengas predefinido", exactamente a qué etiqueta te refieres..?

Hello, I appreciate your attention in correcting edits. Please note two issues:
Eduardo Dato (Q365162) (Eduardo Dato) was a member of the International Permanent Court in The Hague, so as far as I am concerned he was a judge.
Moses (Q9077) (Moses) is classified in some wikis as one of the Category:Hebrew Bible judges (Q8568666) Judges of Israel. If you think that put him in as judge is wrong, you may want to do the same for all other Judges of Israel
Answer Hi @FocalPoint:! I won't discuss Moisés' case, because I didn't undo your edition there and I have no opinion at all. It was another user. As far as Dato is involved my opinion is... I have doubts. According to en.wikipedia's article:
The PCA is not a court, but rather an organiser (...)
(...) is not a “court" in the conventional understanding of that term but (...) arbitrators/judges/members
I don't know if the word 'judge' is most adequate here or not to describe these guys' occupation/job. Do whatever you want but adding a source describing in an explicit manner Eduardo Dato as 'a judge' would be awesome. Cheers and thank for your edits! Strakhov (talk) 11:43, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias, maestro. Me lo apunto todo y me encamino hacia la Roca Tarpeya a ver si pasa algún bestia amable y me arroja (a mí, hay cosas que, la verdad, me falta valor).--Latemplanza (talk) 15:46, 24 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hola Strakhov. Perdona, pero todavía no tengo mucha práctica aquí y no sé lo que es "deprecated". Aunque si solo significa que un dato es obsoleto, no es exactamente eso lo que quiero decir. Es un simple error en la fuente. Muchas gracias. --Gerwoman (talk) 17:29, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias a usted por arreglar el error. En los primeros tiempos en que yo andaba por Wikidata, sólo ponía como identificadores los más conocidos, es decir, los de LCCN, GND, BNF, SUDOC, VIAF. Pero desde hace varios meses procuro ponerlos todos (es decir, todos los que aparecen en VIAF). Ya, gracias a Dios, se pueden incluir casi todos los identificadores en Wikidata y en Commons, lo que es una gran ventaja, aunque hay algunos que siguen sin poder añadirse a Wikidata, como por ejemplo el de RERO, y también hay bastantes que siguen sin poder ser utilizados en Commons.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 15:27, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias, lo tendré en cuenta. Es un coñazo tener que añadir código por código, pero en mi opinión más vale no hacerlo ni siquera semiautomáticamente, porque a veces, y entre los identificadores de VIAF o de ISNI, están mezcladas cosas que no son lo que uno busca, pero eso ya lo sabrá usted.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 16:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Muy buenas Strakhov. Puedes echarle un ojo al enlace a Wikidata del Castillo de Solera? He creado el artículo en wikipedia así como en Wikidata, pero no se enlazan, no sé por qué. Gracias de antemano. Saludos, --Dani jaem (talk) 09:22, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Dani jaem:. Estaba todo correcto. Lo único que fallaba era que al entrar en es.wiki en la ficha de BIC todavía aparecía que no tenía Q en Wikidata, pero purgué la caché y apareció correcto. La opción de purgar la caché de una página la puedes activar en preferencias/sección apariencia/3era opción. Una vez activada puedes acceder al botón de purgar en el mismo menú donde se trasladan de nombre los artículos. Para cualquier cosa que necesites.. :) Un saludo.

En la entrada sobre María Dolores Gómez Molleda, aparecen como "Alma máter" los artículos "Universidad de Madrid" y "Universidad Central de Madrid". Como son la misma institución, pero con diferente nombre, por favor deja sólo uno de ellos. Un cordial saludo:--Raimundo Pastor (talk) 13:21, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Disculpa pero no he vandalizado nada. He intentado evitar ambigüedades con la denominación de la Universidad Central de Madrid, para evitar que se confunda con otras universidades también denominadas "Universidad Central". Un cordial saludo:--Raimundo Pastor (talk) 13:31, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Tampoco he intentado blanquear ni distorsionar nada. Está claro que origina problemas si el término "Universidad Central" sólo se le asigna a la Universidad de Madrid. Me parece razonable usar la denominación "Categoría:Universidad Central (Madrid)" con tal de corregir el problema de identidad que comento.

Hola. ¿Entonces si añado una nueva expresión regular para el formato sí que valdría, no? Lo digo porque ese código es también del BIC. De todas formas habría también que crear una para los Bienes Catalogados. ¿Sabes cómo se hace? Gracias. --Millars (talk) 13:22, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Millars: Hmmm. No. Son dos registros diferentes. Con formatter url distintas (los RI-372810731 no tienen ninguna oficial, creo, mientras que los SIPCA tienen la del SIPCA). El SIPCA, creo, esto seguramente tú lo sepas mejor, ¿cubre a BIC y a bienes catalogados? (de Aragón solo, obviamente). Los BIC oficiales del ministerio cubren solo BIC y de toda España, y además no genéricamente. La propiedad, en definitiva, es para los códigos BIC del ministerio, como tal sugiere el regex. Escribir un regex-chorizo-interminable que cubra unos y otros no le veo sentido. De poco sirve en una base de datos estructurada mezclar identificadores de dos registros/bases de datos distintxs bajo el mismo paraguas-propiedad. Perfectamente se puede pedir una propiedad nueva para SIPCA o usar propiedades genéricas como parche temporal described at URL (P973). Strakhov (talk) 13:33, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Lo que digo es que tan código del BIC es uno como el otro. En las propiedades se pueden poner dos resultados, ¿no se podría poner otro tipo de expresión además de la ya puesta? No se qué quieres decir con que los RI no tienen ninguna oficial. Estos aparecen en la web del ministerio, pero como hace años las competencias se transfirieron muchos de los BIC declarados posteriormente carecen de este tipo de código y no aparecen en la base de datos del ministerio, sino que solo lo hacen en los de las autonomías (el SIPCA para Aragón, pero tenemos lo mismo para Cataluña, Andalucía, C. Valenciana, etc.). Así, tenemos BIC con solo un código, y otros con dos. Pero ambos son respaldados por organismos oficiales. Aparte, el SIPCA ha otorgado códigos no solo a BIC, sino también a BC o a bienes que ha inventariado. Si no se quiere que en la misma instancia aparezcan dos códigos, entonces se debe definir bien la propiedad, porque como está ahora tan bueno es un código como el otro. Se debería indicar que esa es para el código BIC otorgado por el Ministerio. --Millars (talk) 13:46, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Millars: Aparte, el SIPCA ha otorgado códigos no solo a BIC, sino también a BC o a bienes que ha inventariado. Me das la razón. Son dos registros diferentes (uno que gestiona el ministerio y otro el organismo aragonés que toque), que tienen diferente campo de aplicación (uno BICs y otro BICS y otras cosas), que tienen diferente formatter url (uno ninguna y otro http://www.sipca.es/censo/$1/.html) y con diferente ámbito geográfico (uno España y otro Aragón). Blanco y en botella, leche. Siguiendo esa lógica hasta el absurdo podríamos fusionar el VIAF y el código de la BNE en un misma propiedad (pues en ambos se aplican en personas, ambos son códigos de autoridades y se puede escribir una expresión regular para formato que abarque ambas opciones...). Para almacenar la información "este item es un BIC" existen la propiedad heritage designation (P1435) y el item Bien de Interés Cultural (Q23712). P808 no es para eso. Tampoco es para hacer un popurrí de identificadores diversos. Si no tiene BIC en el ministerio pues qué le vamos a hacer. Puedes editar tú mismo la propiedad (si veo que no lo haces, me intentaré ocupar yo) y matizar lo que creas que haga falta, que sí, no me parece mal dejar claro que la propiedad Asset of cultural interest code (P808) para introducir el código RI del ministerio y no cualquier identificador que pueda tener el bien (casualmente de interés cultural) en otro registro diferente que no tiene que ser siquiera de BIC exclusivamente. Un saludo. Strakhov (talk) 13:59, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Millars: PS: yo he llamado de siempre código BIC al del ministerio y código SIPCA al del SIPCA. Quizás sea una simplificación y fuera más fino llamar al primero código BIC del ministerio de (no sé si tiene un nombre oficial el número), pero lo que está claro es que el código SIPCA no es un código BIC, sino un código de bienes, en general, aragoneses, para más señas. En cuanto a lo de la nueva propiedad, propuse hace un tiempo las de la Junta de Castilla y León (Patrimonio Web JCyL ID (P3177)) y la del IAPH en Andalucía (Guía Digital del Patrimonio Cultural de Andalucía ID (P3318)) (que al igual que en SIPCA hay BIC y noBIC). Si quieres puedes fijarte en las respectivas propuestas para pedir la nueva. No se me hubiera ocurrido meter esos números en la propiedad P808. Strakhov (talk) 14:15, 21 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, Strakhov. He quitado los signos de interrogación en "El Norte de Gerona (1910-¿1936?)" porque está bien documentado que desapareció en esa fecha. En el artículo de Wikipedia hay varias referencias (al menos un artículo y un libro, ambos consultables en Internet). Saludos.--Raderich (talk) 17:24, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Raderich: sin problema, los coloqué basándome en CCUC, no miré si había referencias fuertes en wiki. Por cierto, del segundo dicen que tenía periodicidad semanal. Mira si eso cómo va. Un saludo. Strakhov (talk) 17:26, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: no ha hecho nada. Las fichas hacen cosas (funcionan bien, funcionan mal, toman información de Wikidata,...) porque alguien antes las ha programado para tal menester. En este caso... no había pasado tal cosa. Después de esto pues... eche un ojo al artículo. Causa-efecto. Strakhov (talk) 21:12, 14 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Otra ayuda, si lo consideras oportuno. No sé cómo poner esta referencia [3]
para reforzar el cambio en el mes de nacimiento que le he hecho a Q1403647. Todo parece indicar que es una errata de la primera edición del artículo en WP:es, que además de reproducirse cual cucarachilla en las entradas en catalán, ingles, frances e italiano, se recoge como fuente en la página del autor en la BNE [4], citando en ella que la fuente es WP-es. En la edición del libro de Jimenez-Landi que tengo delante de mí también figura "octubre". No he podido abrir/localizar la monografía [5] que le dedicó a este arquitecto institucionista-republicano un tal Francisco Daniel Hernández Mateo. Pero sí he observado que en varias fuentes 'más prudentes por lo general' (como El País) evitan la fecha de nacimiento (solo ponen el año), aunque no la de fallecimiento. Usted verá. Lamento haberle entretenido con tanta cháchara.--Latemplanza (talk) 16:31, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done @Latemplanza: N. B: la BNE no cita a Wikipedia como fuente, simplemente refleja su contenido, pero no lo hace suyo. Como información relativa al nacimiento y a la muerte ofrece simplemente: "(Giner de los Ríos García, Bernardo. n. 1888, Madrid - m. 1970, Ciudad de Méjico. Arquitecto y político republicano)", véase más abajo, y da como fuente de esta el Diccionario onomástico de la guerra civil: las fuerzas en presencia (2006). Strakhov (talk) 17:01, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Pues me quita un buen susto de encima. Tenía esa página como un referente serio. A ver si me acostumbro a descifrar lo evidente. Gracias por la doble enmienda.--Latemplanza (talk) 17:12, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Alguien ha estado haciendo cambios en el parámetro de Lugar de nacimiento y ahora no se puede poner cuál es el lugar de origen de los individuos. ¿Podría arreglarlo por favor?.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 16:32, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiberioclaudio99: En efecto, alguien, en concreto 200.2.124.212, cambió la etiqueta de la propiedad P19 (lugar de nacimiento) por "Yapeyú, Corrientes, Argentina" (probablemente una metedura de pata de buena fe). Bastaba con... revertir. Aun así he añadido dos nuevos alias (nombres alternativos de la propiedad). La próxima vez además de "lugar de nacimiento" podrá teclear "nacido en" o "nació en" para introducir el lugar del que es natural una persona. Gracias por sus ediciones. Un saludo.

Otra duda, aunque temo estar poniéndome pesadito, iba a abrir en WP-es Victoriano Fernández Ascarza, pero veo que WP-eu ya le ha hecho ítem como Victoriano Fernández Askartza. ¿Qué hago?--Latemplanza (talk) 11:00, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment hola, no veo claro el problema, en diferentes wikipedias una misma entrada puede tener diferente título (Nueva York en es.wikipedia, New York en en.wikipedia, Gray wolf en en.wikipedia, Canis lupus en es.wikipedia). En lo relativo a artículos biográficos nos dejamos llevar por el criterio del «nombre (razonablemente completo, se evita usar solo apellido) más usado en bibliografía en castellano». No sé cuál es el criterio de eu.wikipedia al respecto (si el que suena más vasco, el que tenga más ks o, también como es.wikipedia, el más usado en bibliografía, en este caso en vasco). Esto es irrelevante para es.wikipedia. Cree el artículo correspondiente con el título que crea conveniente siguiendo las pautas que estime oportunas (hay cierta flexibilidad) en es.wikipedia y añádalo al item ya existente correspondiente a este señor (Victoriano Fernández Askartza (Q12268862)). Y, una vez añadido, agregue la etiqueta en Wikidata que estime oportuno, pudiendo almacenar la restante como 'alias'. Usted nunca, insisto, nuncajamás, es pesado. Quizás tranquilo, firme, seguro, parsimonioso, pero no pesado. Strakhov (talk) 11:12, 11 March 2017 (UTC) @Latemplanza: Strakhov (talk) 11:12, 11 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quería hacerle una consulta. Hay muchas obras de arte que fueron creadas en un siglo determinado o alrededor de un determinado año o década. ¿Cómo se introduce eso en Wikidata en el apartado de fecha de creación?, porque sólo me deja meter números de años pero no siglos. Un saludo.--Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 11:52, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Tiberioclaudio99:. Un placer poder ayudarle. Para dejarlo con fechas específicas pero menos concretas que el año (una determinada década, un determinado siglo, etc): ejemplo, en la década de 1930, se introduce 1935 como fecha y, mientras se teclea, aparece debajo un panelito con "precisión" y "calendario". Se debe hacer clic encima de "año" y sustituirlo en el menú desplegable que se abre por "década"; apareciendo algo así como "1930s". Para fechas abiertas del estilo "hacia 1935" o "c. 1935", se debe introducir 1935 como fecha y añadir el calificador sourcing circumstances (P1480), completando este con el item circa (Q5727902). Un cordial saludo. Strakhov (talk) 12:15, 18 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: puede ser por el de, por el Cebrián, por el y o por the lamb's mother. O porque no estén registrados en VIAF (que es donde busca el gadget). Cuando no aparece nada con el 'gadget semiautomático' hay que, sencillamente, buscar 'a mano'. Carmen tenía ya uno de la BNE, á Julián le puse otro. Es posible que también anden por VIAF (al segundo la BNE le consignaba un numerito allá, pero no me devolvía resultados fructuosos) y quién sabe en qué más bibliotecas y registros. Strakhov (talk) 10:00, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Otra cosilla. El tema de los vandalillos en Wikidata como va? Lo digo por este User:80.30.75.195 de hace un par de días en Miguel de Unamuno.
@Latemplanza: Va así, o así o así o así... No tiene especial particularidad respecto a Wikipedia. Si el vandalismo es puntual se deshace/revierte. Si es persistente... habrá algún tablón donde comunicarlo (este). La verdad, nunca me ha hecho falta pedir ningún bloqueo. Revertir y a otra cosa, mariposa. Aquí la gente no aguanta tanto dando por cú. Supongo que a causa de la (aparente) menor visibilidad de sus estropicios. Dejar avisos... creo que casi nadie pierde el tiempo en poner las estúp*das plantillas de es.wiki de "aviso 1", "aviso 2", "aviso 3" (no sé siquiera si existen o cuál es su sintaxis) ni en decirle a un vándalo que es un vándalo. Aquí se tiende algo más al pragmatismo. Si estás interesado en la lucha contra el vandalismo, quizás podrías pedir el flag de reversor, aunque para tener éxito hay que aparentar un poco. Hacer como que te dedicas a eso (full time reverzote en cambios recientes), al menos unos días. A mí me lo dieron y desde entonces me es útil, lo uso... cada uno, dos días, para revertir los vandalismos obvios que aparecen en mi lista de seguimiento de una tacada.

@Latemplanza: puedes sencillamente eliminar el parámetro web oficial de wikidata (sería un acto interpretable como vandálico: no lo hagas) o bien pedir ayuda en es.wikipedia para que no se muestre así la web oficial en la ficha, sino de una manera más abreviada, por ejemplo, en el Café/Técnica, en Wikiproyecto:Plantillas o, si hay suerte, en la propia página de discusión de la plantilla a mejorar en cuestión, en este caso Plantilla discusión:Ficha de organización. Yo, es más, no soy partidario de mostrarla en la ficha de ninguna manera, pero ese ya es otro tema. Strakhov (talk) 10:36, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiberioclaudio99: estimado compañero, te ruego que leas atentamente las directrices y sugerencias que en el párrafo anterior me ha facilitado Strakhov, a fin de arreglar el 'chandrío' (como dicen en el Norte) que has montado colocando la plantilla de 'ficha de organismo' -que, sinceramente, yo tampoco veo necesaria, dado lo breve del artículo y lo escuálido de la información que contiene la plantilla-; te comento, desde mi ignorancia y mi experiencia que estos problemas con las plantillas son habituales, de ahí la prevención de muchos wikipedistas en utilizarlas. Quizá, pues, en este caso lo más recomendable sería dejar el artículo como estaba, ¿cómo lo ves? --Latemplanza (talk) 10:49, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: claro, claro. La otra opción es —se me había olvidado— no usar ficha en el artículo, al menos mientras no se arregle la visualización de la web oficial. Un saludo a ambos. Strakhov (talk) 10:57, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
comentarle varias cosas. Hay una cosa que creo que convendría hacer, pero creo que tal vez sería mejor que lo hiciera un bot o un biliotecario. Los alcaldes de la mayoría de los pueblos de España ya aparecen en Wikidata como alcalde de Madrid o alcalde de Móstoles, lo cual es inmensamente útil a la hora de añadirlo en el apartado de los cargos ocupados. ¿No sería posible hacer eso mismo con los obispos y con los rectores de universidades por ejemplo?, porque sería muy útil poder añadir obispo de Lugo o arzobispo de Toledo en vez de poner Anexo:arzobispos de Toledo, ya que esto último queda poco elegante.
Hay otro tema que quería comentarle. La mayoría de las condecoraciones españolas, a excepción de la Orden de Carlos III me parece, podrían mejorarse en Wikidata, porque en vez de poner en premio recibido Orden del Mérito Constitucional debería ponerse, para poder afinar mucho más gran cruz de la Orden del Mérito Constitucional. Si está conforme con todo esto coménteselo a algún bot amigo suyo, porque la verdad es que sería un trabajo de gigantes.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 09:18, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
En lugar de eso hay que usar el elemento archbishop (Q49476), con un calificador of (P642) unido al elemento ¿Toledo (Q5836)? ¿Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toledo (Q1423027)? No sé, seguro que usted sabe mejor cuál sería el más adecuado. Para que eso se traslade a la ficha de es.wikipedia como "arzobispo de Toledo" en lugar de "arzobispo" hay que apañar la ficha en es.wikipedia para que lea los calificadores, claro. Lo puede hacer uno mismo o solicitar ayuda, por ejemplo, en el Café/Técnica, en Wikiproyecto:Plantillas o, si hay suerte, en la propia página de discusión de la plantilla a mejorar en cuestión.
En cuanto a la opción de crear en masa items de cargos universitarios o religiosos... no lo termino de ver claro. Digamos que en su momento ha habido debates al respecto que no sabría enlazarle y no sabría decirle cuál fue el consenso exacto. Sé que es más cómodo que haya un item tal cual para cada cargo pero... imagínese "alcalde de tal sitio" (x 8000 municipios (estos ya los hay de hecho)), "concejal de tal sitio" (x 8000 municipios), "catedrático de tal cosa en tal universidad" (x miles de universidades en el mundo x miles de cátedras), rector de tal universidad (x miles de universidades en el mundo), "profesor titular de tal cosa en tal universidad". Como puede imaginar en algún sitio hay que cortar. ¿Cuál exactamente? Es difícil de decir. Todo eso hay quien piensa que es mejor modelarlo, a priori, con un "rector" por un lado, una preposición genérica "de" y la "universidad" por el otro, como expliqué justo encima. Eso no quita que por mil razones, como 1) que alguien ya lo haya creado 2) que se justifique por razones estructurales 3) etc etc, pueda existir el item "rector de X universidad" (tiene por ejemplo Rector of Moscow State University (Q23048231) o rector of the University of Zaragoza (Q26696707) y una vez que ya existen borrarlos creo sería tontería, no sé si que exista una lista/anexo del cargo en un artículo de wikipedia justifica lo suficiente la creación del item individual, seguramente sí) pero una creación masiva de cargos específicos para todas (o solo para unas cuantas) las instituciones del mundo (o solo de España) es algo delicado y que hay que pensarse bastante. Siempre puede preguntar en Wikidata:Project chat a ver qué piensa la comunidad sobre el tema y en qué se quedó que es mejor.
En cuanto a las órdenes, no soy muy experto en la materia, pero si por cada orden hubiera diferentes condecoraciones (por ejemplo la de Order of Charles III (Q751275) tiene según wikipedia "Collar, Gran Cruz, Encomienda de número, Encomienda y Cruz", ¿todas las órdenes tienen estas exactas-mismas-condecoraciones/grados o varían según cada una, teniendo unas órdenes más chicha y otras menos?) malamente podría hacerlo un bot con facilidad. Pero si alguna vez quiere especificar alguna en concreto, siempre puede crearla a mano, por supuesto. En cuanto a bots, no manejo ninguno, si necesita alguno para alguna tarea puede solicitar ayuda en Wikidata:Bot requests. Un cordial saludo. Strakhov (talk) 10:30, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
¡Muchas gracias! Ya lo he pedido, pero convendría que le echaras un vistazo... Los flamencos me dieron pena porque nadie se ocupa de ellos. Pero ahora me doy cuenta de que pueden haber influido los genes, porque tengo un apellido flamenco por ahí. --Gerwoman (talk) 09:19, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
con usted en lo del Hospital de la Princesa. Yo también lo he enfocado (porque al fin y al cabo no es una ciencia exacta), hacia el hecho de que en la actualidad es un hospital universitario, pero échele un vistazo porque quizás se me ha escapado algo.
Aprovecho para comentarle que este ultimo mes he estado arreglando en Wikidata y en Commons y un poco en Wikipedia todas las universidades españolas (ingluyendo las universidades desaparecidas y también todas las facultades, institutos asociados y hospitales universitarios). Ahora mismo estoy acabando de arreglar los hospitales universitarios y después voy a liarme con la UNED.
Todos los catedráticos y profesores y la mayoría de los doctores honoris causa de las universidades de Sevilla, Córdoba y Valladolid ya los he arreglado también en Wikidata.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 13:48, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola. Me gustaría saber si conoces alguna propiedad que sirva para señalar las instituciones que albergan obra de un autor, por ejemplo, museos para pintores, escultores, etc. Posiblemente ya existe, pero no la localizo. Gracias anticipadas por tu interés. Un saludo. Matiras (talk) 09:50, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Matiras: es difícil no ser útil aquí. Incluso aunque uno se empeñe. ¡Hay tantas cosas por hacer! Y cuando a uno se le acaban las tareas... siempre quedará geolocalizar items. Gracias por el amable ofrecimiento, lo tomo en cuenta. Un saludo. Strakhov (talk) 10:05, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola de nuevo. Regreso con otra pregunta, si no te importa: en este caso (que acabo de perfilar), si no me equivoco poseía doble nacionalidad, española y argentina; y además de origen, al tener distinta nacionalidad cada uno de los progenitores. No sé si en la propiedad 'país de nacionalidad' (P27), cabe colocar ambas. Lo señalo porque he visto la 'nacionalidad deportiva' (P1532) y desconozco si hay una propiedad específica para los supuestos de doble nacionalidad como el que te planteo. Muchas gracias y un saludo. Matiras (talk) 17:49, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Matiras: Que yo sepa no hay problema (ni problema ni una propiedad alternativa que almacene dobles nacionalidades (además de que estructuralmente/ontológicamente no la vería mucho sentido)). Entre las diferentes constraints de la propiedad no está la de "single value". Lo único el uso en cada infobox, que dependerá de si están programadas para aceptar varios valores o solo el primero (ni idea). Pero eso no es algo que deba preocuparnos en Wikidata. Si tiene las dos de origen no hace falta acotar más. Si hubiera obtenido una más adelante que la otra se puede afinar con el calificador start time (P580). Ídem si en algún momento de su vida la hubiera perdido (en tal caso con end time (P582)). Hay un invento relativamente nuevo para avisar con señales de peligro de los statements que dan problemas de constraint violation (aunque yo no le haría demasiado caso porque te da avisos que no deberían salir, en concreto es muy avisón con publicaciones/obras/ediciones). En concreto debería incluirse este script en el common.js mw.loader.load( '//www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=User:Jonas_Kress_(WMDE)/check_constraints.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript' );. Un saludo. Strakhov (talk) 18:04, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
El tiempo vuela. No vengo a pedir este viaje sino a dar información que puede interesarte. El caso es que arreglando un poco esta propiedad, el compositor era también caricaturista, actividad que parece asociada a su condición de crítico musical de la prensa madrileña de la época y, dado que son obras en dominio público y eres un gran contribuyente en Commons de material similar, igual te interesa 'ficharlo' para el futuro, si no lo está ya. En fin, gracias por la atención y el trabajo que desarrollas. Saludos. Matiras (talk) 17:48, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiberioclaudio99: no, pues no se refieren a lo mismo. Aunque usted haya cambiado ad hoc el item de wikidata, si lee el artículo de ca.wiki, por mucho que se titule así, que por otra parte son palabras intercambiables/sinónimas en lo referente al edificio, podrá comprobar que se describe un bien inmueble. Un saludo. Strakhov (talk) 15:00, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Quería hacerle una insólita petición, que también le voy a hacer a Asqueladd y a otros. No sé si usted es aficionado a subir imagenes a Commons de cuadros antiguos o retratos, pero si alguna vez se tropieza en Internet con alguna colección de cuadros que no estén en Commons y no tiene tiempo o ganas de subirlos dígamelo y los subiré encantado (por ejemplo de algún museo, o de algún ayuntamiento o universidad).
Yo viajo poco, así que me conformo con ir subiendo a Commons imágenes de cuadros con más de cien años de antiguedad o imágenes de Flickr que puedan subirse, y hay en España miles de cuadros repartidos por toda clase de instituciones que deberían estar en Commons si se pudiera. El Ayuntamiento de Sevilla, la Universidad de Salamanca y la Diputación Provincial de Zaragoza, por ejemplo, tienen colecciones pictóricas impresionantes con obras que ya están subidas a Commons, pero no quiero agobiarle más. Un saludo.--Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 07:49, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Tiberioclaudio:. Gracias por su gentil ofrecimiento. Si me entero de alguna interesante de la que no haya nada en Commons se lo comento, aunque bueno, no depende tanto de la colección como, en efecto, de cada pintor y cuándo falleció y todo eso. Por de pronto tengo pendiente subir cuadros de estos dos tipos 1 y 2, de la web del museodelprado. Si se anima... pues se lo agradecería muchísimo. Un cordial saludo. Strakhov (talk) 08:14, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias. Las miniaturas no me suelen interesar, pero los de Maura y Montaner los subiré encantado. Y además los cuadros decimonónicos son mis favoritos. Un saludo.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 08:20, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Esta mañana subí a Commons los siete cuadros que me dijo de Francisco Maura Montaner. Y también quería pedirle un favor. Nunca he redactado en Wikipedia un artículo sobre un ayuntamiento, porque la política y la administración local no es lo mío, y hay un artículo que me gustaría hacer sobre el ayuntamiento de Cartagena. En Wikipedia ya hay al menos uno sobre la casa consistorial de dicha ciudad, pero yo no me atrevo, ¿Se atrevería usted? No hace falta que sea muy extenso.--Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 16:54, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Tiberioclaudio99:. Muchas gracias por subir los cuadros. Si le soy sincero la administración local tampoco es lo mío. Creo que nunca he creado el artículo de un Ayuntamiento (sí de algún ayuntamiento) y no sabría por dónde empezar. Si al menos la ciudad me la conociera... pero Cartagena me resulta un tanto ajena (me salió una rima). Si un día me da el arrebato y no está aún hecho quizás me ponga, pero lo veo complicado. Hay usuarios en Wikipedia muy cartageneros (hasta tenemos categoría para los científicos de allí !) a los que quizás la petición les podría resultar más sencilla de acometer. Un cordial saludo. Strakhov (talk) 18:01, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Podría e intentaré hacerlo (de hecho ya están acá como BIP, creo que fui yo), aunque no me lleve muy bien con las tablas. En mi opinión es el tipo de anexo casi obsoleto que a medio o casi a corto la comunitat debería plantearse actualizar desde Wikidata (ejemplo). :) Strakhov (talk) 20:35, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
La verdad es que tienes razón, aunque creo que solo parcialmente :-) Las tablas no están solo para proporcionar el listado, sino también para facilitar la categorización automática de imágenes subidas desde ahí (ideal para concursos) o para proponer categorías genéricas cuando no existe una categoría asignada todavía. Lo que sí te concedo es que la generación de tablas debería estar automatizada (desde wikidata, ¿por qué no?) mediante un bot. Una idea que podría implementar en su momento. Un saludo y gracias --Discasto (talk) 20:42, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: No sé lo que es la categorización automática ni en qué medida las dichosas tablas no actualizadas (me las estuve viendo y deseando con el de los BIC de Soria, que ni siquiera tenía enlaces rojos para los BIC no creados) la facilitan pero estoy seguro que también se podrá canalizar por Wikidata. Lo único malo es que no se muestran las referencias de Wikidata y se quedan acá escondidas. Strakhov (talk) 20:47, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
La categorización automática es un "invento" por el que, cuando subes una foto a partir del formulario lanzado desde la tabla, ya salen las categorías correctas. Es un invento desarrollado fundamentalmente por y para los Wiki Loves Whatever. Creo que lo ideal sería, en vez de la actualización cruda de una página mediante una consulta de wikidata, hacer tablas igualmente creadas a partir de datos de Wikidata, pero con más contenido y estructura. Carne de bot que yo mismo desarrollaría en dos patadas. --Discasto (talk) 22:05, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: De hecho, me salen 12 por un lado y 18 por el otro, así que hay cuatro más faltantes en wiki. En cualquier caso al invento este de los anexos-tabla le hace falta, como muy mínimo, una columna con el Q de Wikidata de cada coso. Strakhov (talk) 21:05, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sí, parece que faltan los museos de titularidad autonómica (que, creo, solo cuentan como bien protegido el contenido y no el continente) y La Casa Grande, que no soy capaz de encontrar referenciada. Y sí, el elemento wikidata es fundamental (mira por ejemplo lo bien que quedaron estos otros anexos. --Discasto (talk) 22:05, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: eso hay que mirarlo, con los ¿archivos? ¿o era con las bibliotecas? creo estaban catalogados como BIC "contenido" + "continente" (incluso cuando los guardaran en un chamizo?) pero no "institución". La Casa Grande la retiré el estatus, en Wikidata la había puesto yo como BIP pero la referencia no se abría y tampoco la localicé en el BOCM. Y sí, bastante mejor ese anexo. Strakhov (talk) 19:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiberioclaudio99: Hola, Tiberioclaudio. No tengo tiempo para estudiar si la fusión de items procede y el contexto de este "cambio de nombre". Si hubiera diferentes identificadores, unos para el museo con el nombre largo y otros para el museo con el nombre corto, no tengo claro que procediera fusionar los items. Strakhov (talk) 14:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sí, lo he mirado y da error. Deben estar haciendo cambios en Matrix. No pasa nada, supongo que se arreglará pronto por sí solo. Un cordial saludo. Strakhov (talk) 14:39, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
¿No sería posible crear en Wikidata un parámetro llamado fecha de demolición o fecha de derribo, porque para los edificios sería utilísimo?. Un saludo.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 16:11, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
varias cosas, porque yo apenas piso el Café de Wikidata, y me parece que usted lo frecuenta más que yo. Hay varias cosas que deberían arreglarse en Wikidata, porque actualmente hay datos que no se pueden introducir.
Por ejemplo, y hablando solamente de edificios, ¿No sería posible crear los siguientes parámetros o propiedades o como se llamen?
Fecha de inicio de las obras
Fecha de finalización de las obras
Fecha de derribo
Fecha de exclaustración (para los antiguos conventos y monasterios).
La verdad es que me sorprende que a estas alturas a nadie se le haya ocurrido arreglar este tema, pero ya le digo que nunca visito el café y tal vez usted esté interesado en el tema. Aún recuerdo que hace poco usted me dijo algo así como que estaba cansado de batallar en solitario en Wikidata. Y que conste que yo soy de la opinión de que un buen wikipedista, y la cursiva es mía, debe tener en Wikidata debe hacer al menos tres o cuatro veces más ediciones en Wikidata que en la Wikipedia. Espero haber despertado su interés.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 19:11, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
cuando tenga tiempo a las páginas de la Fundación Joaquín Díaz y del Centro Etnográfico Joaquín Díaz. Los controles de autoridad están tan mezclados que apenas es posible saber si se refieren a la fundación, al centro etnográfico, o a los dos al mismo tiempo, ya que por suerte o por desgracia tanto el centro como la fundación tienen su sede en Urueña. Gracias de antemano.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 18:37, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Tiberioclaudio99:. Lo he estado mirando... y no le puedo ser de mucha ayuda. No conozco mucho de la relación orgánica que ambas instituciones pueden tener o dejar entre sí entre sí pero... ciertamente... las autoridades están hechas un desastre en lo que a «separar-en-dos-organizaciones-distintas-e-independientes-el-conundrum-fundación-joaquín-díaz-centro-etnográfico-documentación» respecta. Creo que hay poco que hacer o, si se puede hacer algo, a mí no se me ocurre, aparte de quitar identificadores dudosos/mixtos y dejar solo los "unívocamente correctos". Pero no tengo nada claro que esto fuera buena idea, pues no tengo siquiera claro qué es lo correcto.
Por otro lado, cuando pregunte cosas a otros editores, es recomendable, en lugar de usar texto plano (o texto plano en negritas), emplear la plantilla {{Q}} o {{P}}, cuando haga referencia a un elemento o a una propiedad, respectivamente.
Gracias por su ayuda, y que se quede la Fundación Joaquín Díaz como está. Y gracias por la explicación del texto plano, porque siempre procuro seguir sus recomendaciones. ¿Cuando a usted le surge en Wikidata un problema que no puede resolver a quien acude?, porque yo siempre acudo a usted y tal vez vaya siendo hora de no molestarle tanto.Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 19:15, 20 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
que no revierta mis ediciones tan a la ligera. Si le he añadido a ese monasterio lo de Albacete entre paréntesis es porque es muy útil y también porque es la única manera de encontrarlo en Wikidata, ya que hay chorrocientos monasterios con ese nombre.--Tiberioclaudio99 (talk) 16:59, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiberioclaudio99: no le he revertido a la ligera. Le he deshecho. Y no a la ligera, sino sabiendo muy bien lo que estaba revirtiendo. Ya le he explicado que en las etiquetas no se debe colocar el paréntesis (Help:Labels). Se encuentra igual de bien si lo coloca en "alias". Strakhov (talk) 17:04, 21 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hola, lo miré pero se me pasó responder. Gracias. Digamos que eché un vistazo con mix'n'match en modo "visual" y creo que solo me devolvió un posible match con un gonzález nosequé, pero no las tuve todas conmigo de que fuera el mismo y fui pasando de agregarle la ID.

Tenía pendientes muchos autores de una lista que me facilitó David Abián. Le he comentado al departamento de catalogación que incluyan referencias en Wikidata par que vaya aumentando el número de enlaces. También les comenté la nueva propiedad Property:P3976.
Me parece muy buena idea añadir el enlace a Wikidata en el apartado de "Enlaces a otros repositorios".
Sobre el tema de las imágenes con derechos, ¿qué tendría qué poner exactamente? Estoy pensando en poner un enlace en todas las imágenes a commons, como atribución. ¿Crees que de esa forma estaría bien? Si en el futuro se añade información estructurada sobre las imágenes, pues perfecto, porque ya solo sería usarla :)
Por otro lado, he solicitado la creación de una nueva propiedad para lugares que todavía está en discusión. Recientemente publicamos un nuevo repositorio con información geográfica enlazada a Geonames. Si finalmente aceptan la propiedad, me gustaría crear de forma automática los enlaces a wikidata, ya que disponemos del identificador de Geonames y creo que no debe ser complicado. ¿Podrías guiarme un poco?
Creo que para contestarte de nuevo es así. Si estoy equivocado, te pido disculpas.
Muy bien, pondré los enlaces que me comentas de atribución.
Con respecto a Geonames, me pondré en contacto con Abián para ver si me pudiera ayudar en la automatización del enlazado. Muchas gracias por apoyar la propiedad :)
@Manuchansu: En la BNE sale uno de comienzos del XIX. En cosas de Catalunya... en el Arxiu de Revistes Catalanes Antigues tampoco. Después al menos la Diputación de Barcelona tienen también un repositorio, pero no vi nada (trencadis.diba.cat). Tienes el registro en CCUC y ...te encontré la imagen en ca.wiki. Si quieres darle la tijera (un cropping) adelante, porque los bordes blancos no sé muy bien para qué sirven, pero a lo mejor el uploader se mosquea, con estas cosas nunca se sabe... Strakhov (talk) 17:46, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sí, el de comienzos del siglo XIX no es, ese es otro (aunque los del actual Diari de Girona se echan la gallarda de continuar la línea dinástica iniciada en 1807...claro que sí). Exacto, los bordes blancos...meh, si se mosquea, se sube una imagen nueva y a otra cosa. Manuchansu (talk) 17:49, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Manuchansu: Investigando un poco... es del tipo de archivos que da un poco de grimita editarlos, porque después se queda en las contribuciones de uno y queda feo. Al grano: le veo el pequeño problema de que, a pesar de estar en dominio público en los States (publicado a mitad de la década de 1910)... no se ve si el largo artículo inicial («Notas de la guerra») va firmado (tiene pinta de continuar a la segunda página), por lo que... su estatus de copyright en España... está abierto a debate si no se cuenta con más información, y... no pondría la mano en el fuego por que el uploader haya sido cuidadoso en cerciorarse de esos finos detalles. No es del tipo de contenido problemático que uno marca para borrado pero... Yo si fuera tú casi lo dejaría como está, que tampoco... Strakhov (talk) 18:00, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Matiras: desconozco cómo están modelados los suplementos periódicos en Wikidata (sospecho que no hay muchos y que no será muy homogéneo su tratamiento). A priori el "forma parte" parece adecuado. Con lo de "suplemento" (tanto como calificador como como instancia) tengo más dudas, pues en este caso concreto la línea que separa "suplemento" de "sección del periódico" es vaga (buena parte de su recorrido fueron simplemente unas páginas al final de El Imparcial con una cabecera diferente, aunque hubo una época que sí tuvo un formato mínimamente independiente). Saludos. Strakhov (talk) 18:26, 28 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No creo que tenga tiempo para este tipo de minucias, pero como miembro del wikiproyecto de Madrid capital, me gustaría conocer su opinión sobre el criterio seguido por un reversor alemán sobre la representatividad de las placas del callejero artístico del centro de Madrid como imagen ilustrativa en Wikidata de la calle. Sin que con ello pretenda influir en su criterio sino todo lo contrario, tiene mi opinión aquí: [6]
Es problema nuestro, les dije al departamento de catalogación que crearan enlaces y no está actualizado con el repositorio RDF. Por favor, no los borres si es posible, intento solucionar los que dan error e intentaré hacer un workflow para que se mantenga actualizado y no ocurran estos problemas. Perdón por las molestias.
He revisado todos los autores que me adjuntaste enlaces y ya están casi todos solucionados, excepto 7 entidades que ya he solicitado su creación en nuestro repositorio.
Nosotros en la BVMC seguimos el modelo FRBR y para las autoridades el modelo define Personas, Entidades Corporativas y Familias. En el modelo RDF intentamos seguir este modelo, incluso con la URLS. Por tanto tenemos algunos casos en los que las urls son del tipo http://data.cervantesvirtual.com/corporatebody/id o http://data.cervantesvirtual.com/family/id. Puede ser que confunda pero en las guías de publicación de Linked Open Data sugieren que las urls contengan el tipo de elemento que describen. Te lo comento porque nosotros en Wikidata solo tenemos una propiedad que tiene la url definida del tipo http://data.cervantesvirtual.com/person/id. No estoy seguro si sería necesario crear las propiedades porque tampoco tenemos muchos elementos en nuestro catálogo...
He identificado un par de casos, por ejemplo:
09:37, 11 July 2017 (diff | hist) . . (+345) . . Spanish Republican government in Exile (Q3235719) (Created claim: BVMC person ID (P2799): 42515)
Muchas gracias por tu tiempo. Poco a poco vamos avanzando :)
Pero resulta que ya estaba como Q19430817 (por el homónimo de Wikisource). Todo esto me supera. Se lo advertí? Es igual. Hay días chungos. --Latemplanza (talk) 12:08, 1 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: Hola, en teoría, siendo estrictos y siguiendo el modelo FRBR, las creaciones humanas puede dividirse en "obra" y en "edición". Lo que hay en Wikisource normalmente se interpreta como edición, lo de Wikipedia como obra. Figúrate que mañana reedita la FNFF el dictamen de los cjns con una portada de colorines. ¿Entonces qué? Sí, hay claroscuros, los edificios son obras y no creamos un item al edificio como concepto y otro a la edición (normalmente una) (también hay que decir que FRBR se limita a publicaciones, bibliografía y demases). Te concedo que no es el ejemplo más evidente y, si no hubiera ya dos items creados, seguramente habría optado por almacenar item y artículo en el mismo elemento y santas pascuas (como hago con cada revista y periódico, a los que no creo, por el momento, obra y edición por separado, cuando sin ir más lejos la BNE separa ambas ideas), pero habiendo ya dos items en Wikidata prefiero lavarme las manos y evitar pringarme con una fusión (potencialmente) discutible. De todas maneras... es que da igual. Strakhov (talk) 12:30, 4 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias por tu mensaje. Muy cierto, me lo he ganado a pulso. No debía haberme embarcado en esa batalla perdida, de eso soy muy culpable, y en realidad lo que más me duele es el tiempo desperdiciado para nada, porque cuando este caballero se quedaba solito o sin argumentos, casualmente venía la cascada de usuarios de ca:wiki. Contra eso sí que no tenía nada que hacer. En fin, ya se sabe: me ha difamado y me ha estigmatizado en unas cuantas wikis, varios de ca:wiki se han asegurado de pintarme de peligroso vándalo españolista, y al cambio me dicen esto en es:wiki xDDDDDD. En qué quedamos, soy un franquista o soy un comunista? Que ni yo lo sé ya :(
Pero eso sí, lo más exquisito: Angus dio por buena la versión victimista (que encima me acusó falsamente de haber llamado "nazi" a un usuario de de:wiki y otras cuantas falsedades deformadas), y me premió con un mes de vacaciones por utilizar el único recurso que me quedaba para hacerle llegar mi gratitud (porque en es:wiki no cuela que me pinte malvado vándalo miembro de la Internacional Españolista) por el gran trabajo que ha hecho. Por cierto, sabes quién acuñó la expresión de "Cross-wiki vandal" que tanto han usado algunos? No era él, la idea vino de otra persona. Pista: es biblio en ca:wiki y en es:wiki. Manuchansu (talk) 21:14, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Juas, con Franco había tantas cosas que no pasaban. Pues sí, me las voy a tomar (en realidad ya estaba en ello). Pero creo que para mi se acabó crear artículos y grandes ediciones, no por el bloqueo (que me dan igual); sencillamente, porque que no me interesa colaborar con un proyecto donde un ultra-nacionalista tiene tantas facilidades para hacer todo lo que le de la gana, incluso en es:wiki, que era el único terreno donde confiaba en que no tendría capacidad para seguir manipulando y haciéndose la víctima. Bah, tampoco creo que sea una gran pérdida, esto no me da de comer xD. Eso sí, hazme un favor, si no te importa. Tengo varios artículos en WP:SAB. Te importaría vigilarlos y hacerte cargo de ellos durante mis "vacaciones"? Por aquello de que no se eche a perder el trabajo de meses. Tienes permiso de editarlos como consideres, por si alguien pregunta. Saludos y hasta pronto, espero. Manuchansu (talk) 21:50, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Muy cierto, esto de las calles es un clásico que nunca acabará, aunque en Madrid hubo quien vio en quitarle la plaza de Chueca al carlista (para dársela a Zerolo) un triunfo de la internacional comunista-LGTB y de las JONS. Ahora bien, en este caso que señalas...donde peor está la cosa creo yo que es en Ucrania, donde están como locos tratando de borrar todo rastro de la Unión Soviética o de lo meramente ruso, incluidas ciudades, comarcas y distritos enteros. Que por cierto, ya nos han endiñado el cambio en es:wiki (que se les había resistido mucho)...sin referencias ni nada, como de costumbre. Digo esto porque la última vez que busqué sobre el tema el propio ayuntamiento de la ciudad se negaba a aceptar el cambio y mantenía como oficial la antigua denominación. Me pregunto si aquí valdrá el argumento facineroso del "no hay consenso", y los usuarios de turno que envían de Ukr wiki... Manuchansu (talk) 18:04, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Encantado de saludarle. Hay dos parámetros de Wikidata que han desaparecido y que por lo que sea no se pueden añadir. Uno es el de la PTB, (la Biblioteca de Portugal), y el otro es el de APELLIDO. ¿Podría solucionarlo?

@Tiberioclaudio99: No es vandalismo, parece un bug-hiccup más general, que se arreglará (dicen que ya debería estar arreglado pero no parece cierto).

OK @Triplecaña: Te sobraba un espacio en la query escrita en SPARQL para que esta fuera inteligible (en concreto en el nombre de la variable "COAM arq"). strakhov (talk) 15:49, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Triplecaña: por cierto, sería más correcto titular a la propiedad "COAM persona" o "COAM autor", pues incluye a individuos que no son arquitectos (escultores principalmente). strakhov (talk) 15:50, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done Gracias. Estoy usando tu base de datos con los edificios del BdE. Muy útil. Supongo que una vez tenga todo hecho, podría subcategorizarse en si las sucursales siguen activas o no en la actualidad (sólo 15 de las 70 y pico que llegó a tener). Triplecaña (talk) 16:06, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Triplecaña: Psí. Supongo que podría valer con poner como calificador una fecha de fin a "ocupante=banco de españa" cuando ya no funcione como banco de españa y clasificar en función de si esa declaración tiene fecha de fin o no, aunque la fecha exacta no siempre es un dato sencillo de referenciar. Pero quizás valga con poner valor desconocido en los casos que no se sepa el momento de huida del BDE pero se sabe que ya no está allí. Saludos. strakhov (talk) 16:14, 6 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
He vuelto a liarme y no acierto a 'reunir': casa de huéspedes (Q2460422) y Pensión (hospedaje) (Q43076272) y que figure en cualquiera de ellos el artículo casa de huéspedes o el redireccionado a él Pensión (hospedaje). Mira a ver cuando puedas, y perdona mi burrez persistente. Es desesperante para mi. En serio.--Latemplanza (talk) 15:21, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: he movido el enlace "casa de huéspedes" de es.wikipedia al item Q2460422. En el item Q2460422 solo ha quedado enlazada la redirección "Pensión (hospedaje)". En cuanto a posibles fusiones, por lo general me abstengo de fusionar items cuando no tengo claro que dos cosas sean exactamente lo mismo. Saludos. strakhov (talk) 15:55, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bueno, la cosa se complica o se simplifica...quién sabe! Ha aparecido Guest house (una mala traducción del penoso artículo inglés). Tras ponerlo presentable, me encuentro en el mismo punto de ayer ¿?

Hola Strakhov, necesito de tu consejo. Estaba tratando de crear la Lista Roja de Patrimonio Amenazado de Hispania Nostra. Tienen un simpático fichero en GeoJSON del que se puede sacar mucha de la información (necesita mucho postproceso, pero ese es otro rollo). Mi pregunta es la siguiente: tengo ya el item creado para la lista (Q5977055), y le he dicho que es una lista (Property:P360). Ahora bien, no sé cómo crear la lista en sí. Es decir, suponiendo que tuviera un item para cada uno de los elementos de la lista, ¿cómo los relaciono con Q5977055? Por otra parte, los items de la lista no tienen identificador aunque sí una URL (textual, ejemplo) con la que se accede a la ficha. ¿Cómo incluirías este dato en los items que describen cada elemento de la lista? Gracias por adelantado --Discasto (talk) 22:40, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
1) Uso de catálogo/lista: no hace falta proponer nada. La propiedad P360 no me suena que sea para eso. Se usa en situaciones como "Anexo:Presidentes de Francia" y a ese item le adjudicas "lista de-> "presidente de Francia". Creo que lo que tocaría es más bien usar catalog (P972). Se suele usar combinada con la propiedad catalog code (P528). Es decir, usar P528 como declaración principal y con P972 como calificador. Tienes un ejemplo en The Night Watch (Q219831). No sé si a la inversa está permitido. Yo he usado también P972 "a secas" por ejemplo aquí Revista de Metalurgia (Q27925282): básicamente porque el identificador en el DOAJ es... el ISSN y es tontería almacenarlo dos veces.
2) Crear una propiedad nueva: la opción más brava es pedir una propiedad nueva y lograr que pase como identificador externo. No sería la primera ni mucho menos. Si te dicen que no seguramente puedas cambiar sobre la marcha el datatype, y en lugar de external-id especificar ¿cadena? ¿url? (tendría que estudiarlo, no sé qué implica en la práctica cada cosa). Una vez obtenida la propiedad, evidentemente no hace falta usar catálogo ni historias, pues ya están "catalogados" los items por el mero hecho de "usar" esa propiedad.
Respecto a los elementos de la lista. Sí he entendido que se puede usar catalog code (P528) como declaración principal, con el identificador correspondiente (la URL que tenemos), y catalog (P972) como calificador, apuntando a Red List of Endangered Heritage. Si, paralelamente, consigo crear un identificador externo, entonces puedo eliminar esto último y simplemente indicar el identificador.
¿Lo he entendido bien? Por otra parte, en relación a la botización del tema, recordarás que no puedo editar en Wikipedia, así que cualquier botización como la que sugieres está simplemente fuera de lugar. Aparte de pedir una nueva propiedad, ¿debo hacer algo más? Un saludo --Discasto (talk) 11:18, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: A lo primero: ok a lo de instancia de catálogo. Supongo que ok a lo de la propiedad "lista" (aunque solo recordaba haberla visto usado en "anexos/cosas wiki" y no en listas puramente externas, en cualquier caso no es nada importante).
A lo segundo: not ok a usar la url al completo como código de catálogo, en todo caso sería "el trozo de url". Aun así no veo la mejora respecto de la opción de usar "descrito en la url" item por item y ya está (sería lo más ortodoxo), pues todos los items que incluyen una url-que-comienza-de-tal-manera se pueden encontrar mediante SPARQL sin muchas complicaciones. Si lograras una propiedad nueva, en efecto, todo este tema de "catálogo/código" o "descrito en la url" pasa a ser redundante y eliminable.
A lo tercero: todo el trabajo en Wikidata es trivialmente vertible en Wikipedia, ya sea a través de es:Plantilla:Listarojapatrimonio o es:Plantilla:Control de autoridades (al menos con nueva propiedad, si dependiéramos de P973 o lo otro ...quizás [seguro] mis conocimientos de Lua de cortapega se quedarían cortos). Aunque, claro, hay que agregar las plantillas. Llevamos más de un año esperando una solución al respecto (control de autoridades en todos los artículos etc), pero las cosas de palacio van despacio.
En resumen, que lo mejor es que simplemente pidas una propiedad para listarojapatrimoniohispanianostra y si te dijeran que no por X o por B, te apañes con catalogo+código/P973/cualquierotroinvento, supongo que se podría preguntar en la propuesta la mejor forma de hacerlo. strakhov (talk) 11:42, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias. Para no perderme demasiado en las explicaciones, ¿podrías asumir que no hay propiedad y tomar un elemento cualquiera de la lista y editarlo según tu propuesta mínima? Así veo cómo quedaría. Cambiarlos después sería trivial (de hecho, el mayor reto, como siempre que se vuelca una lista externa en wikidata, es saber qué existe ya y qué no). ¿Te animas con, pongamos, arco de San Miguel de Mazarreros (Q27508715)? Gracias --Discasto (talk) 11:47, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pero lo dicho, si prevés pedir propiedad, ponte a ello lo primero y en función del resultado haces uso de lo anterior... o no. strakhov (talk) 12:06, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
La verdad es que me gusta que las imágenes, el código, estén en el propio artículo y no en la ficha, ítem de Wikidata, por el hecho de que es más sencillo saber cuales están y cambiarlas en el propio artículo, cosa que he hecho mucho, aunque en realidad no pasa nada si están también en Wikidata, por que nos e importan de aquí si ya están en el artículo.
Creo recordar que me dijísteis una vez que esto (Q19419977) 'que he reunido', no se debe hacer. Y no se qué era lo que había que hacer ni cómo. --Latemplanza (talk) 11:59, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: Creando un item extra para la "obra", pues has usado el de "edición" (vamos, que has usado para colgar el enlace a la obra [artículo de Wikipedia] un item que corresponde a una versión concreta de la obra en wikisource). Si no quieres, no lo hagas, aquí todo es voluntario, además de que los datos relativos a la edición de Wikisource en este caso no parecen ser muy claros (no está claro de dónde salió concretamente ese texto, si se corresponde al volumen 2 de Obras de Gustavo A. Bécquer (1885) como parecería indicar la pestaña fuente y la paginación de la primera carta o se corresponde a la edición de 1912 de Obras escogidas de Gustavo A. Bécquer (Q48977779), como parecería sugerir el enlace web y la paginación de la página de discusión. Lo importante es que no fusiones o mezcles items o conceptos que ya están separados (pues supone ir para atrás like a cangrejo). Que desfusiones lo presente diría que no es algo tan obligado, sobre todo cuando hay dudas. Seguramente la opción más ortodoxa y a la vez perezosa ...sea borrar el enlace a es.wiki que añadiste al item, dejar el artículo de es.wikipedia flotando en el vacío, y esperar a que un bot/herramiente semiautomática le cree un item de 'obra' para él solo. strakhov (talk) 14:45, 17 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @MONUMENTA: lamento la tardanza. He deshecho tu edición. Un item (Q43157063) trataba de una iglesia fortificada, Bien de Interés Cultural, situada en Murla y otro (Q18005902), con enlace a ca.wiki, sobre un supuesto castillo en lo alto de un cerro, por lo que no deben fusionarse. Si crees que el reciente artículo "Castillo de Pop (leyenda)" no coincide con el correspondiente en catalán (Castell de Pop) lo que deberías hacer es crearle un item extra (entonces pasaría a haber tres: uno para la iglesia fortificada, otro para los supuestos restos en la cima de la montaña y un tercero para la existencia legendaria de un castillo llamado de Pop). strakhov (talk) 17:27, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MONUMENTA: Acabo de ver que el artículo "Castillo de Pop (leyenda)" fue borrado en es.wiki, así que olvida lo de los tres items. Con dos tenemos más que suficiente. strakhov (talk) 17:35, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MONUMENTA:. ¿De qué "datos falsos" en qué "ficha" hablas? Si el artículo de ca.wiki es falso es problema de ca.wiki, el item correspondiente deberá reflejar, más o menos, en lo que consiste el item de ca.wiki. Si este habla de un castillo en la cima del Caballo Verde el item deberá tratar de un castillo en lo alto del Caballo Verde.. hasta que el artículo de allí se borre o se modifique. A Wikipedia en español esto le importa cero pelotero, pues, precisamente, gracias a que ambos items ahora no están fusionados... la ficha de es.wiki no toma ningún dato de estos que entre Scorpen y tú habéis consensuado que son "legendarios" y/o "falsos". Siéntete libre de corregir lo que quieras, con fuentes o sin ellas, en el artículo de ca.wiki (que no solo estaría "mal" la ficha, sino buena parte del artículo). A Scorpen puedes pedirle lo que quieras. strakhov (talk) 18:28, 21 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bueno, ya tenemos más de 150 items con el identificador. ¿Tienes que hacer alguna magia con las plantillas de autoridades en es.wikipedia? --Discasto (talk) 10:17, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: la magia (léase añadir la nueva propiedad al módulo) la hice ya hace tres días. Ahora bien, la otra magia requerida, la de añadir "control de autoridades" con alegría across Wikipedia no está en mi mano desgraciadamente. Estamos en stand by desde hace mucho. strakhov (talk) 10:45, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Por cierto, dada esta propuesta, si pides amablemente aquí que incluyan la propiedad P4868 (se podría solicitar alguna más de patrimonio cultural ejpañol la verdad, creo que solo está activada la general de BIC), es más probable que el trabajo de añadir ids de listaroja se aproveche antes en Commons que en Wikipedia. strakhov (talk) 19:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ejpañolas faltarían, además de esta de la lista roja, la del IAPH inmueble (P3318), la de la JdCyL (P3177), la del SIPCA (P3580, aunque la web de ésta lleva caída un tiempo, cuidado con eso), las dos catalanas, la del Inventario General del Patrimonio Cultural Valenciano (P2473). etc etc. Las que se te antojen. Si te da la vena internacionalista, como ves tienes bastantes más posibilidades, tantas como banderitas. strakhov (talk) 19:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, ¿es posible solicitar el cambio de nombre de una propiedad? La de la lista roja es muy larga, yo quitaría lo de Hispania Nostra. Lo de 'code Bien de Interés Cultural'... WTF? Sería en todo caso 'Bien de Interés Cultural code', ¿no? --Discasto (talk) 08:39, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: poder, no poder, posible solicitar, imposible... son términos relativos. Esto es una wiki y ese campo "es editable". En propiedades "sencillas" de tipo identificador externo te diría que si puedes mejorar el nombre, corregir gramática, ortografía o precisión (que no implique un "cambio de sentido") lo edites sin más y ya está. Si alguien te revierte... pues ya lo habláis. Con propiedades que aluden a cosas "más generales" es mas fácil que salten chispas al realizar cambios (tanto en la etiqueta como en la descripción) y conviene plantearlo antes en la discusión (sobre todo si las propiedades son ya viejitas), por si el cambio de nombre implicara un cambio en el scope de la propiedad. strakhov (talk) 15:15, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Ah. En la de la lista roja a mí me sobra más lo de "de patrimonio" que la parte de "Hispania Nostra", pero eso es subjetivo, supongo. strakhov (talk) 15:21, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Joder, no había visto la opción de editar y creí que no se podía cambiar. Ya está hecho. Por otra parte, necesito, de nuevo de tu sapiencia. Me encuentro con Historias y cuentos de Galicia (Q19446064) y Historias y cuentos de Galicia (Q19446064). Mientras que el primero describe un elemento del mundo real, que resulta que tiene un enlace con wikisource, el segundo describe únicamente un elemento de wikisource. El segundo no es una "short story" ni nada por el estilo. Es una página de Wikisource y debería estar enlazado con el primero de alguna forma. ¿Se te ocurre algo? Gracias --Discasto (talk) 15:23, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: entiendo que te refieres a Q19446067 (me pusiste el mismo dos veces). Es complicado esto de los libros. No sé, el acople wikisource-wikidata fue un poco sucio y dejó muchos items que no sé yo, además de enlaces donde no deberían estar... A f***g mess. A los de "Versiones para imprimir" no les presto atención, no sé muy bien qué son bibliográficamente hablando. ¿Un excremento? ¿Un duplicado? En realidad no presto atención a casi ninguno, pues los de edición normales de wikisource en español (como Q19446064) en la inmensa mayoría de los casos no se sabe a qué edición corresponden (son copiapés 'inespecíficos' de internet).
La estructura básica de libros es un item para la "obra" y otro(s) para la "edición"(es), unidos entre sí por edition or translation of (P629) y has edition or translation (P747). Si quieres profundizar en la ontología -> Wikidata:WikiProject Books. Para mí... ambos dos dos que me presentas son de tipo edición, además ¿la misma? (en general todo item con enlace en wikisource es una edición, una versión concreta de la obra). El de obra (en el que se agrega BVMC work ID (P3976) entre otras) es el item que va con el artículo de Wikipedia (por tanto, norma de oro, en principio en un item no debería haber simultáneamente enlace a Wikipedia y a Wikisource (sin embargo pasa mucho, ej Don Quixote (Q480)). Perdona la inconcreción pero... strakhov (talk) 15:40, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, no entiendo esto. I mean, en español hay preposiciones. Lo que hay ahora... pues español no es. Se le parece, pero no lo es. ¿Qué se me escapa? --Discasto (talk) 17:38, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: a título personal soy partidario de un lenguaje algo tarzanesco en los nombres de las propiedades, para abreviar caracteres, buscando el articular frases completas con verbo sujeto predicado preposición complemento circunstancial e indirecto e interjecciones varias sobre todo en la descripción de la propiedad y no tanto en la "etiqueta/tag" para reconocerla. Si te hiere a la vista o lo que sea... feel free. :P strakhov (talk) 17:52, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Por ejemplo, "identificador BNE" es "identificador BNE" y no "identificador de la BNE" o "identificador de la Biblioteca Nacional de España". Vamos, no tiene mayor importancia, pero como vi que buscabas concisión no pensé que te importaría. Saludos. strakhov (talk) 17:54, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Triplecaña: No es estrictamente una fusión (es menos grave). Lo más rápido restaurar la versión previa y olvidarte.

Hola Strakhov. Te consulto porque creo que quizás sepas qué hacer. ¿Hay algo como QuickStatement pero para quitar propiedades? Descubrí que hace un tiempo un usuario le añadió por error a unos 500 elementos la nacionalidad venezolana, pero si alguno realmente lo es es mera coincidencia. Llevo unos días revisando sus contribuciones y hasta ahora solo acertó una vez, por lo que prefiero quitarlas en masa y arriesgarme a eliminar alguna correcta (que eventualmente alguien recuperará) a dejar 500 incorrectas. ¿Conoces alguna forma de hacer algo así? Gracias de antemano. Saludos, Metrónomo (talk) 00:32, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Metrónomo: Para eliminar declaraciones, tienes PetScan. En la caja de comandos se introduce -P27:Q717 (con un "menos" delante) y... borra esa declaración de todos los items seleccionados. Si ya sabes cómo se usa PetScan, cómo haces para que te aparezca la caja de comandos (...) y blablabla, bien, me ahorro esa parte. Si no ...te puedo explicar. El problema que veo es determinar cuál es el subconjunto de items a los que hay que restar/eliminar la declaración (quizás se pueda jugar a copiar todos esos Q de la lista de contribuciones del señor y llevártelos al "Other sources -> Manual list" de PetScan. Nunca la probé la lista manual). strakhov (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Metrónomo: por cierto, QuickStatements también borra declaraciones. (You can remove specific statements by prefixing a line with "-"). strakhov (talk) 00:57, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No sabía ninguna de las dos cosas, lo voy a probar. Y lo PerScan es fácil, usas Manual List (yo sí la probé y funciona muy bien). Gracias por tu ayuda, saludos, Metrónomo (talk) 00:58, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Me gustaría categorizar o relacionarlo con Premio Nacional de España (Q43389708) pero no sé hacerlo. ¿Se haría con Subclase de? Gracias Triplecaña (talk) 13:11, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Triplecaña: Cuando se trata de conceptos tan vagos, que viven fuerte y duro en el terreno de las ideas, como premio nacional de España ("¿existe esa categoría oficialmente?", "¿es una entelequia que reúne premios de ámbito estatal español cuya denominación incluye la cadena de caracteres premio nacional?", "¿son premios "que lo de antes" y que además los concede el Ministerio de Cultura?", "¿si es así se tiene en cuenta que el Ministerio de Cultura cambia de nombre cada X años y que son items distintos (Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport (Q3181296), Ministry of Culture (Spain, 2004-2011) (Q6017208))?", etc etc),... es más difícil determinar cosas. ¿subclass of (P279) o instance of (P31)? Para mí National Fashion Design Award (Q43388760) es una instancia (P31) del subtipo de premio premio nacional de España (¿quizás mejor minúsculas?, ¿mayúsculas?, no sé, depende de si existe como tal oficialmente o es una idea genérica), aunque supongo dependería si el premio (Q43388760) se considera "uno como tal" o que "tiene subtipos" de los cuales "Premio Nacional de Moda" se trataría de un tipo superior, un concepto abstracto, que amalgama a los de abajo: ni idea, pero parece que no. No sé si captas estos 'sutiles' matices, tampoco parece importante: hagas lo que hagas va a dar mayormente igual...
Ahora bien, decidas usar instancia o subclase (aunque para mí es P31, puedes ver que Nobel Prize (Q7191) es tanto una instancia como una subclase de premio, seguramente porque tiene subtipos pero...) necesitas crear otro item extra para "ese tipo de premios definido por la cadena de caracteres premio nacional de españa", pues Premio Nacional de España (Q43389708) es una instancia de Wikimedia disambiguation page (Q4167410) y esas viven en un mundo aparte. No se puede poner nunca que un "Premio de Tal Noble Actividad" es una subclase (o una instancia) de algo que es una instancia de Wikimedia disambiguation page (Q4167410) (porque entonces a Agatha Ruiz de la Prada (Q2736351) le habrían premiado en 2017 con una página de desambiguación de Wikimedia o con un subtipo de página de desambiguación de Wikimedia: vaya mierda de premio). En resumen, creo que Premio Nacional de España (Q43389708) solo se debe enlazar con otras cosas en Wikidata vía propiedad different from (P1889) y para lo que tú quieres deberías crear otro item. Perdona la chapa, pero tú te la has buscado. strakhov (talk) 13:58, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hola Strakhov, te quería preguntar si existía algún límite si estuviera pensando en incluir un resultado de una sentencia SPARQL como mapa en la portada de una página nueva que vamos a crear. ¿Hay algún límite de peticiones? ¿Es la forma correcta de hacerlo? Muchas gracias, no estoy seguro si este el sitio adecuado para preguntar :). Un saludo.--Gustavo.candela (talk) 17:43, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gustavo.candela: ¡Hola! No es el sitio más adecuado. En primer lugar porque los nuevos mensajes se dejan habitualmente al final de las páginas de discusión, no hacia la mitad de éstas. En segundo lugar, y bastante más importante, porque me has preguntado algo sobre lo que, sinceramente, no tengo la menor idea. Te aconsejaría preguntar aquí: Wikidata:Project chat. En inglés, por supuesto. Un cordial saludo, no hay de qué. strakhov (talk) 18:35, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Puedo crear un nuevo catálogo. El cero a la izquierda, que no vale nada, lo puedo añadir gratis. Dime si compensa borrar todos los de los 6 ceros o borrar también los acabados en 01 y me adapto. Ya me dirás. Un saludo. --Gerwoman (talk) 17:24, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hola. He visto que hace un tiempo tu cargaste buena parte de los códigos que van en la IGPCV ID (P2473). Hoy me he puesto a revisar como estavan respecto a tener Property of Local Relevance (Q11910247) en la heritage designation (P1435) i he detectado que faltan por cargar unos 600 còdigos. El tema es que o he sabido encontrar en la web una forma de conseguir los códigos (y mucho menos las URLs de las fichas) de forma massiva. Sabes si tienen algun opendata o alguna otra forma para descargar el contenido del inventario ?. Gràcias. Si quieres contestame aquí mismo con un ping y así matenemos la conversació unificada. Merci, Amadalvarez (talk) 20:01, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Descarga evidente no parece tener el sitio y mi nivel de web scraping (Q665452) deja un tanto que desear. A las malas seguramente alguien con conocimientos mínimos de bots y cosas así ¿podría al menos extraerlos de los artículos de wikipedia buscando expresiones regulares? (en es.wikipedia al menos hay muchos [muchos] artículos de BRL con este código almacenado...como texto plano en la introducción (!)). Siento no ser de mucha ayuda, preguntaré de todas formas y te mantengo al tanto de mis 'descubrimientos'... Un saludo y gracias a ti. strakhov (talk) 20:30, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Creo que el paralelismo con Bien de Interés Cultural (Q23712) se debe a que cuando se transfirieron las competències todos los BIC se incorporaron automàticamente y para no mantener una doble codificación, se le assignaron los còdigos nuevos de BRL. Entiendo, aunque no lo he verificado, que a partir d'aquel dia las nuevas protecciones aprobadas solo són BRL. Lo que me comentes no me ajuda mucho porque sé 0,0 de bots para rastrear textos. Estoy probando una mètodo manual entrando en su web y teniendo la lista en un excel. Abro ficha, hago copy-paste de codigo y URl asociada (otro coñazo que esta gente no tenga URLs con un pattern+código) y cuando tenga unas decenas lo cargaré con el quickstatements. Voy a cronometrarme a ver cuanto tardaré en hacer los 600. !!. Salut i gracias por la info. Amadalvarez (talk) 20:45, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Amadalvarez: he abierto 'canales alternativos'. Si te esperas unos días y éstos fructifican ...lo mismo logramos un catálogo de mix-'n'-match y te libras del copiapé. No puedo prometer nada, no está en mi mano! strakhov (talk) 20:52, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Strakhov, Amadalvarez: Hola, yo tengo alguna experiencia en hacer scraping de web (por ejemplo, así saqué los identificadores de la Lista Roja de Hispania Nostra, aunque se trataba de un solo documento, con un formato claro). ¿Podéis darme ejemplos de qué queréis extraer y dónde está? Gracias --Discasto (talk) 13:11, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Gracias por venir al rescate. :) Pues supongo que consistiría en tener info de BICs y BRLs, cuanta más, mejor. Están aquí, perdidos. Los BIC y los BRL. Entras en una de las dos secciones, seleccionas un municipio random y dale a buscar, ahí te sale lo que hay. En la primera pestaña:
BIC: una relación (a partir de una página tipo de este tipo) de al menos: el id de la url (2554), el código oficial (12.08.118-001) y la denominación del monumento (Torre de Torrechiva).
BRL: una relación (a partir de una página de este tipo) de al menos: el id de la url (2894), el código oficial (03.32.014-065) y la denominación del monumento (Casa Carbonell).
Me ha parecido que algunos bienes tiene url permanente a la ficha y otros (los menos) no. Quizás @Amadalvarez: pueda decirte algo más sobre esto. Muchos BIC también tienen en otra pestaña (Dades juridiques) en el epígrafe "Anotació Ministeri" ...el código BIC estatal (quizás pueda servir para hacer mejor match automático, aunque habría que cocinarle el formato...)
Y bueno, en principio si se pudieran descargar el resto de datos (municipio, comarca, uso, etc...) sin esfuerzos extra significativos ... no haría daño, si bien subirlos acá estaría dudosillo (CC0, etc,...). Con al menos el código oficial y el nombre del monumento entiendo que se podría crear un catálogo de mix-n-match para la propiedad IGPCV ID (P2473) y poder usar para asignarlos con un poco de vidilla. El otro código, el que enlaza las fichas, no tiene propiedad acá (por el momento). strakhov (talk) 15:15, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Por partes. Yendo simplemente a la página de los BRL (supongo que los BIC serían igual), sin seleccionar ningún documento, puedo descargar el listado de bienes, de los que puedo extraer código, URL de la ficha, denominación, dirección (si existe) y coordenadas. Por lo que me cuentas, yendo a cada ficha puedo sacar datos adicionales. Eso no debería ser complicado aunque me llevará algunos días (estoy con otros fregados). Con eso puedo sacar un CSV. Es cosa vuestra usar el mix-n-match ese. Rastrear los artículos de las categorías también es trivial, así como el código, en caso de que exista, y el identificador de Wikidata. Creo que lo mejor sería generar el CSV, y a partir de ahí os ocupáis vosotros de Wikidata. ¿Hace? Eso sí, no doy fechas porque, como he dicho, estoy muy hasta arriba (ni llegué a terminar lo de la Lista Roja). ¿Sería suficiente? --Discasto (talk) 15:46, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Tómate el tiempo que haga falta. Por mi parte la menor de las prisas. Por lo demás, bien también. A partir del CSV crear el catálogo debe ser facilito (tengo que preguntar en qué formato se cargan y qué datos deben incluirse, pero...). strakhov (talk) 15:57, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto, Strakhov: Lo que dices en el último mensaje de hacer un CSV con esos datos, para mí és suficiente. La pestanya de datos jurídicos nos podria aportar la fecha de reconocimiento, però solo está en algunos casos y en muchos de ellos es confusa porque se puede confundir con las fechas de los decretos o de las leyes que regulan el tema, però que o sea la específica del monumento. Por mi parte ese es un tema prescindible. Municipio, identificador, URL (o código ID para construirla) y código de protección (BRL, BIC,...) són suficientes. Si tienes las coordenadas seran bienvenidas, aunque normalmente ya las tenemos siempre vienen bien para confirmar/corregir. Cuando puedas. Ya avisaras. Gracias !. Amadalvarez (talk) 16:10, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto, Strakhov:Yo ni tan solo conocía su existencia. Es un avance, aunque observo que para las províncias de Castellón y Alicante hay poco o nada, respectivamente. También he observado un error de concepto que no lo solucionará ningun otro método de recuperación ja que hay códigos duplicados (en la web, too!). Me refiero a todos los de una cifra que no tienen prefijo. Parece como si se tratara de una numeración por municipio. podeis mirar en es:Anexo:Bienes de relevancia local de la Huerta Sur y vereis que el código 4 esta repetido en los dos primeros: Albal i Alcácer. Como digo, en la Base oficial también lo estan. Propongo un stand-by: miro en cuanto puedo rebajar la lista de los 600 códigos que faltan y luego lo replanteamos. Os parece ?. Amadalvarez (talk) 05:30, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Strakhov, Amadalvarez: No os preocupéis. El problema del código de dos cifras ya lo había detectado. En cualquier caso, estoy avanzando a buen ritmo. Creo que en unos días podré tener el catálogo completo. Luego vosotros véis cuáles queréis subir. Lo que no sé muy bien cómo hacer es donde subir el CSV. Lo puedo hacer como he hecho con los concursos de Wiki Loves (ejemplo) y cortáis y pegái. Cualquier otra alternativa es bienvenida. Saludos --Discasto (talk) 09:43, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: Por mi lo puedes enviar con un wetransfer via mail. O bien, com el ejemplo. Lo importante és que el separador no sea un TAB por si se pierde con los copia-pega. Gracias, Amadalvarez (talk) 11:07, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Disculpad que entre en medio de la conversación, pero os veo motivados y orientados. Así que sólo un par de cosas:
Los códigos de dos cifras repetidos son muy raros. Lo he vistos, pero no son un problema frecuente. Mucho más frecuente en que algo tenga código de dos cifras (o una o tres, nos entendemos) y aparezca luego con código largo.
Ojo con los códigos largos del tipo 3.93 de Elda y Petrer. No sé de qué va, si se trata de una comarca virtual o algo antiguo, pero están ahí. Uno en Petrer y el resto en Elda.
La mayoría de enlaces basados en códigos de cuatro dígitos que he visto no funcionan. Supongo que el sistema fue fased-out en algún momento.
A lo que dice @Amadalvarez:, creo que además es conveniente poner la ubicación (C/ del Pez 3, Junto al campo de fútbol, a veces no pone nada) y especialmente poner en qué núcleo de población están. Por ejemplo, la Vall d'Alcalà tiene dos iglesias que se llaman igual, están en plazas que se llaman igual y no son lo mismo: una está en Alcalà de la Jovada y la otra en Beniaia. Cuanta más info de ese tipo se disponga, mejor.
Gracias por la faena y suerte. Intentaré seguir por aquí en la medida que pueda.
Tengo extraída toda la información "útil" de la web de la Generalitat Valenciana en relación a, de momento, los Bienes de Relevancia Local. He prescindido de fechas, pero puedo extraer, si fuese necesario, las fechas que haya, siempre que me digáis cuál es relevante.
He comenzado por la provincia de Castellón. He extraído toda la información necesaria de los anexos en la wikipedia en español, con el objetivo de recrearlos comarcalmente (en la actualidad están en formato municipal). Estos anexos contienen información sobre los elementos que ya tienen un item en Wikidata. Espero analizar también las listas de la Viquipèdia, de forma que pueda tener (ya digo que inicialmente para la provincia de Castellón) la información necesaria para (a) recrear los anexos de la Wikipedia en español, (b) actualizar las listas de la Viquipèdia, y (c) actualizar los items de Wikidata con los códigos y las direcciones de las fichas.
Hay un asunto peliagudo con los códigos. Corto y pego un texto que me ha hecho llegar B25es: Lo que me lleva a los números de dos (a veces tres) dígitos. Hay algún caso muy aislado de número de dos dígitos repetido en el mismo municipio, pero es extremadamente raro. Así en la provincia de Alicante no he encontrado ninguno. Su utilidad existe (distinguir una Iglesia de San Juan Bautista de otra) pero se limita a cada municipio. ¿Cuál es la relación con los códigos largos? Chungo. Un código largo normal es Provincia-Comarca-Municipio-Bien. 03.32.014-123 por ejemplo es un antiguo monasterio que está en la provincia de Alicante (03), comarca de l'Alacantí (32), municipio de Alicante (014). Pero no corras a sacar conclusiones. Por ejemplo el monumento 3 de Alcalalí no es lo mismo que el 03.30.006-003 de Alcalalí. Ambos existen y no tienen nada que ver. Así que no hay un "traductor" de códigos cortos a largos. Y te lo voy a poner peor, en realidad hay dos tipos de códigos largos, uno el que te he explicado (muy mayoritario, menos mal) y otro que he encontrado alguna vez (hay muchos en Elda, pero también hay algunos otros sueltos) que tienen la estructura 3.93.número de municipio con dos o tres dígitos-número de bien con tres dígitos. Ni idea de dónde han salido estos tíos. En ca:wiki los pusieron transformando el 3 inicial en 03 (cosa que también he hecho yo) pero el 93 no corresponde a ninguna comarca y además aparece en municipios de comarcas diferentes. Además de la explicación aportada por B25es, tengo la propuesta que Vicenç (Vriullop) me ha hecho en relación a los bienes de naturaleza etnológica y que encuentro que tiene sentido, si bien posiblemente no para Wikidata.
@discasto: Gràcies. Ya he visto tu conversación con @Vriullop:. Me parece un acierto coordinar tu trabajo con el Vriullop que ya havia trabajado cargas previas. Yo me sumaré a ayudar en lo que digais. Salut !.Amadalvarez (talk) 15:08, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Saludos a todos. Leído en diagonal comento uno de los puntos. Los BIC sin código del ministerio suelen ser declaraciones genéricas (castillos, cruces, etc). Se han seguido inventariando una vez transferidas las competencias. Como no tienen un expediente de declaración en el ministerio no se dan por aludidos. También puede ocurrir que sean BIC recientes y todavía no esten actualizados. Lo que corresponde es tener ambos códigos. Como estatus patrimonial puede usarse bien de interés cultural genérico. Vriullop (talk) 16:09, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
A ver, necesito que me instruyáis. De momento, he abordado los bienes de relevancia local en la provincia de Castellón. Podéis verlos aquí (sí, estando bloqueado se pueden hacer cosas). Todavía tengo que terminar de revisar las coordenadas (hay un porcentaje no trivial de coordenadas erróneas) pero necesito saber qué hacer. Hay varias categorías:
Monumentos que ya tienen un item de wikidata y un código "estable".
Monumentos que ya tienen un item de wikidata y un código numérico de una, dos o tres cifras.
Monumentos con una categoría de commons, sin item de wikidata y código "estable".
Monumentos con una categoría de commons, sin item de wikidata y un código numérico de una, dos o tres cifras.
Monumentos sin item ni categoría, con código "estable".
Monumentos sin item ni categoría, con un código numérico de una, dos o tres cifras.
Una posible característica adicional que no he considerado es el estatus del bien (declarado vs. en tramitación). Mi CSV tiene, ahora mismo, denominación en castellano, q-item del municipio, comarca, código, ficha en el Inventario y coordenadas (no siempre).
Se me ocurre lo siguiente:
Usar quick-statements para incluir la información que no tenga ya (¿dónde pongo la url de la ficha?).
Usar quick-statements para incluir la información que no tenga ya, pero prescindiendo del código.
Usar ¿qué? para crear los nuevos items. La pega que tiene quick-statements es que no puedo ir registrando los q-items creados. Puedo programarlo, pero llevará un tiempo.
Lo mismo que el anterior, pero sin incluir código.
@Discasto: Mira aquí. Aparte del comando CREATE (solo eso en la fila) que "crea un item vacío y ya", si le añades filas después iniciadas con LAST ... esas 'declaraciones/filas' (etiqueta, código, url) se añadirán a ese item que creaste. Una vez creados los items con los statements que tengas por conveniente, es trivial obtener una lista vía query.wikidata de todas las formas y colores posibles (items catalogados como BRL sin artículo, con artículo, con categoría de commons, sin ella, con imagen, con una etiqueta que comience por "Castillo", etc). ¿Responde esto a tu duda o ya lo tenías por sabido? strakhov (talk) 16:43, 20 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias, pero creo que no me convence. Tendría que imaginar la query correcta y luego, a mano, mapear a cada monumento. Veré si puedo botizarlo y, si no, me daré mus. Gracias --Discasto (talk) 06:31, 21 September 2018 (UTC) PS: respecto a described at URL (P973), ¿la uso como statement o como referencia de un statement?[reply]
@Discasto: Dado que la mayor parte de las ermitas españolas deben de usar seguramente el item hermitage (Q513550), yo tiraría por la calle de enmedio y usaría el item hermitage (Q513550), independientemente de que pueda estar un poco "sucio" por la parte angloparlante (al menos, a saber otros idiomas). Si alguien más adelante quiere hacer split con ambos conceptos, pues que lo haga, como buenamente pueda/sepa. strakhov (talk) 21:00, 23 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Gracias. Otro tema. Acabo de ver, "casualmente" esto. Es precisamente lo que acabo de hacer y no me cuesta mucho revertirlo. Sin embargo, también estoy usando como target "iglesia parroquial" (ahora no recuerdo el Q) y ahí ya no sé qué hacer. He eliminado targets de tipo "parroquia" (una parroquia no es un edificio), pero el asunto es que estamos hablando de iglesias parroquiales (por ende católicas). Espero de tu sapiencia y savoir faire una solución elegante y practicable. Saludos --Discasto (talk) 08:14, 24 September 2018 (UTC) PS: esto es incorrecto, ¿verdad? ¿Hay algun item para un seminario, como edificio?[reply]
@Discasto: Yo las "parroquias" las sustituiría por parish church (Q317557) y ya (cuando el item se refiera a una cosa hecha con piedras en la que suenan campanas de vez en cuando, clarostá). Si estás muy seguro de que todas las iglesias parroquiales son católicas (¿no hay también parroquias ortodoxas... etc?), podrías poner a parish church (Q317557) como subclase de "iglesia católica" (la catolicidad en P31 existiría, pero sería indirecta), pero vamos, tampoco lo veo muy necesario... No soy muy fan de almacenar el "rango" religioso del edificio en cuestión (algo bastante circunstancial y sujeto a cambiar con el tiempo y que siendo estrictos no define la naturaleza más elemental del objeto) en la propiedad instance of (P31) pero que yo conozca por el momento no hay otro sitio.
@Discasto: Teóricamente... sí. En la práctica, a título personal, el insertar en masa "religión/P140" (especialmente si no hubiera fuentes para el dato y fuera una deducción lógica [el templo podría estar sin culto/desacralizado y nosotros estar insertando información incompleta que no le haría excesivo bien a wikipedia]) es algo opcional, y a lo que solo me obligaría si supusiera compensar la eliminación de esta información de otro lado donde ya estaba (de P31, al eliminar eso de iglesia católica y cambiarlo por el menos específico iglesia). Saludos. strakhov (talk) 20:52, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Entonces lo dejo solo para las iglesias parroquiales. He verificado en casi todos los casos que se trata de iglesias (católicas) en uso. ¿Correcto? --Discasto (talk) 20:54, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: si se siguen celebrando rituales católicos en su interior (siendo el estatus de "iglesia parroquial" algo actual), OK: en las iglesias parroquiales pon "iglesia parroquial" en un lado e "Iglesia católica" en el otro. strakhov (talk) 20:59, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
¿Se diferencian items en Commons para la página de una categoría (concretamente [12]) y para la página descriptiva? El ejemplo más cercano son [13] y su página [14].
El caso es que estoy 'intentando' crear la página [Rest on the Flight into Egypt] y todo está bastante complicado... Desde el hecho de que se nombre al pie de la categoría también como "Template:The Rest on The Flight into Egypt" (osea con el artículo), y el mogollón de que según me ha parecido vislumbrar, en la wikipedia en inglés, por ejemplo, todo apunta al mismo ítem (pero no me hagas mucho caso porque es probable que me haya perdido por el camino...).
Dudo mucho que tengas tiempo ni ganas para este merengue. Si te apetece (!) ayudar estupendo. Y si no también. Le he pedido ayuda a Cookie en un correo vía commons. Pero no sé si se lo he sabido explicar.
@Latemplanza: la respuesta corta es "en principio no". ¿Quieres la larga? ... strakhov (talk) 11:49, 10 September 2018 (UTC) PD: te puedo decir que ahora el asunto está correcto, sin embargo vislumbro cierta ineficiencia energética en explicarte por qué[reply]

Tech hizo primero un Anexo (Q54865932), que luego renombró como artículo. ¿Esto se va a quedar así? o puede afinarse?... Lo digo por esta cat. de commons [15]
..y otra pregunta ¿cómo se crea un ítem para la categoría general de commons
Lo pregunto porque los ejemplos paralelos posibles Manors (sin crear el genérico troncal) o Country houses (Q8422033) parten del inglés y en estas siempre me lio. .-(
--Latemplanza (talk) 09:11, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Latemplanza: 1) Siéntete libre de hacer con ese item lo que creas conveniente
a) reeditarlo como si de un item 'singular' se tratara: «"etiqueta=quinta madrileña", "alias=quinta de Madrid, quinta (Madrid)", "descripción=tipo de finca en Madrid", "subclase de=finca (o de quinta)", "faceta de=Madrid", etc»).
En mi opinión los artículos enciclopédicos con títulos en plural fuera del espacio "Anexo:" ...deberían intentar evitarse, pero allá cada uno con sus filias. Luego toca apechugar con las consecuencias.
2) Una idea podría ser crear una categoría en Wikipedia (Categoría:Quintas) y unir a ésta con la categoría de Commons. Luego puedes crear un item nuevo "quinta" que represente a "un tipo de finca" y que se enlace en el item anterior de la categoría a través de category's main topic (P301) o category contains (P4224). Suerte! strakhov (talk) 11:24, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Bueno, lo he intentao (pero meacojonao en la parte "unir a ésta con la categoría de Commons". Me quedao duro, y ya no he podido seguir. Dejo la escena. onemoretimeagain--Latemplanza (talk) 14:32, 6 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sin embargo si clicas en el desplegable inferior "En otros idiomas" en el enlace con el artículo en inglés te aparece:

Gracias, dilecto. Acabo de ver el arreglo (¡que fácil para un sabio!).

Hola Strakhov. Abusando de tu disposición, te comento que he descubierto ahora la modificación que has realizado al módulo de autoridades donde se incluye la categoría en Commons de un artículo que la lleve en Wikidata, lo que me parece magnífico, sencillo y cómodo. La pregunta es —y evito preguntar en general en el wikicafé que a saber ...—, ¿resulta absurdo entonces crear {{commonscat}} como enlace externo empleado hasta la fecha, no? Gracias. Matiras (talk) 18:25, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Matiras:. En primer lugar dejar claro que yo no hice nada. No sabría ni por dónde empezar a meter mano al código del módulo. El mérito de dejar un módulo "tan como está" es de otro usuario, a mí me resulta poco más poco menos que magia. Ahora mismo se está discutiendo (precisamente en el wikicafé) si jubilar vía bot "commonscat" & cía ("wikisource", "wikiviajes", etc) ya que la plantilla control de autoridades se muestra ahora también en móvil (o al menos la parte relacionada con proyectos wikimedia, después de un pequeño ajuste), cosa que no hacía antes. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 20:19, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Únicamente vi tus ediciones y no me fije más; pensé que eras el autor. Es Leoncastro, deduzco. Bien, pues si se está discutiendo allá, ya resolverán. No tendría mucho sentido duplicar, pero ... Gracias y un saludo. Matiras (talk) 21:57, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: en realidad... no tanto. Bueno, es una propiedad muy simpática y algo más flexible que los sitelinks. Permite ser compartida por categoría, item, anexo de items y no sé si alguna más. Los sitelinks son de uso único. Todo esto se puede programar para que no sea un problema y que con un link en un solo sitio todos los demás lleguen a él? Seguro, pero ni yo sé hacerlo, ni creo que el resultado sea tan computationally cheap como descargar el valor de P373 del item correspondiente. O sí, quién sabe. El mantenimiento que genera es relativo... pues... lo hacen mayormente bots. Y, por último, decida lo que se decida, me parecerá bien pero lo principal es que crear una "deletion request" para 'solucionar' esto...es empezar la comida por el postre. Un no euclidiano mas cordial saludo. strakhov (talk) 22:43, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
La razón por la cual el archienemigo destaca más que cualquier otro enemigo puede deberse a que sea el más difícil de combatir, el opuesto del héroe, el villano más recurrente, siempre tramando los más peligrosos y amenazantes planes, como la dominación global, haya sido un amigo del héroe o es la fuente de constante tragedia, dolor y horror para el héroe, frecuentemente el primer villano en la historia. --Discasto (talk) 22:52, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@discasto: qué poco espíritu de sacrificio. ¿Es que no te enseñaron de pequeño a poner la otra mejilla?
En cuanto al tema que abría el hilo es que... solo veo dos soluciones distintas a la de ahora:
1) Homogéneo: que las categorías de commons se enlacen solo con items-categoría (con la consiguiente creación de cientos de miles de items, el split en dos, etc, las quejas y alaridos de los que piensan que category es el espacio principal de commons blablabla)
2) Heterogéneo: que las categorías de commons se enlacen con items-categoría solo cuando no haya item-objeto, en caso de existir éste debieran ir ahí (dar preferencia a, invertir lo de ahora)
3) Homogéneo: que las categorías de commons se enlacen solo con items-objeto (no es una solución, pues habría categorías de Commons que no tienen wikiartículo pero sí wikicategoría: lasplurales: tienes que unir ambas cosas de alguna manera.
No creo que el personal esté por 1) y 2) seguirá siendo un modelo chapuzas heterogéneo parecido al de ahora, que pasará la falta de predecibilidad... al lado de las categorías wiki (por cierto, creo que debería aprovecharse wikidata para rellenar con commons el espacio 'categoría' en wikipedia, lo planteé y parece que es fácil). 3) is not an option. Todo esto sin siquiera pensar en las galerías y qué hacer con ellas, que supongo que habrá a alguien a quien le importen. strakhov (talk) 23:56, 3 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Cuando llegué había un pequeño lío, y los cangilones aparecían en

Sí. Lo siento; es lo que hay. (Por cierto gracias por la vigilancia aquí sobre Benito Pérez Galdós, al parecer hay epidemia de gangrena ultramontana). A lo que iba -venía, más bien-; alguien abrió [18] (no debo ser el único 'toli-data-user'). Pero ya existía [19], que aunque no tiene enlace en ninguna wiki-lengua se ajusta a pitorro.

@Latemplanza: No había visto esto. Estoy últimamente con poco tiempo por acá y cuando dispongo de él con poquérrimas ganas de estrujarme la cabeza y/o descubrir en estas un tanto crípticas peticiones que me formulas ...qué es exactamente lo que quieres que haga y por qué yo sería una persona idónea para solucionarlo (ya sabes y si no pues ahora ya sí, que no me gusta en demasía el responsabilizarme de fusiones de items de subclases de cosas (las instancias de cosas me generan menos resquemores) ..pedidas por terceros). Cuando esté un poco más despejado si eso le echo un ojo. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 19:37, 28 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Usté perdone. Sí, creo que me pongo un poco bastante pesado con chorraditas que al final acabo 'resolviendo' yo mismo, mal que bien. No tiene importancia. Gracias por contestar. En cuanto a las definiciones de instancia/y,o/subclase... Supongo que antes de morirme llegare a entenderlo. :-) --Latemplanza (talk) 07:59, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hola. He creado Q60393983, que es un Sitio y Monumento Histórico de la Antártida, pero no soy capaz de encontrar la propiedad de sus códigos en caso de que esté creada. Si no la tiene, ¿cómo debo hacer para pedir que se cree? La segunda pregunta es sobre el código del IAPH. Vi hace unas semanas que cuando se creó la numeración que se ha tomado es la del final de la URL, que así hace que funcione el enlace, pero no es el código que aparece en las fichas de los monumentos en el sitio web del IAPH. ¿No crees que realmente debería ser el código asignado por el IAPH? Saludos y gracias de antemano. --Millars (talk) 00:28, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
1) Ni idea, nunca hice nada de la Antártida. Las propiedades nuevas se proponen en Wikidata:Property proposal.
2) Uhm. No. "Esa" propiedad es para "ese" identificador. Si se quiere almacenar también el otro acá (que no sirve, o al menos antaño no servía, para proveer ningún tipo de enlace en línea) hay que pedir otra propiedad independiente (ningún problema con eso). Aparte de que el identificador "web" actual es útil y perderlo sería una pérdida (valga la)... no se deben hacer "repurposings" de propiedades sobre la marcha. Las propiedades deben ser estables y servir toda su "vida" para lo mismo, no pueden reciclarse para almacenar de repente otra cosa completamente distinta.
OK. Miro lo de la Antártida. Al ser algo internacional y tan global me extrañaba que nadie lo haya creado antes. Sobre lo del IAPH, efectivamente el que yo comento no sirve para una URL, es como el de los BIC, que tampoco sirven para eso. Lo que pasaba es que al final son dos códigos para lo mismo, sacados de la misma institución, una de la URL y el otro el código asignado por la institución. No proponía quitar el otro, sino que en la explicación se explique (valga la redundancia) qué es cada uno, para evitar confusiones. Habría que pedir la creación del otro, pero te preguntaba para hacerlo bien, que no haya confusiones entre ambos y que no la líe. Pero no hay prisa con ello. --Millars (talk) 00:54, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Millars: En su momento me pensé mucho cuál pedir... y ante la tesitura de almacenar el número oficial que no sirve para nada y el número random que abre una bonita, cuidada e ilustrada ficha con licencia CC BY NC SA... me terminé decidiendo por el segundo (ambos parecían razonablemente "estables"). Como puedes ver la etiqueta principal no es "código IAPH" sino que le puse una bastante más macarrónica: "identificador Patrimonio Inmueble de Andalucía". Si propones la nueva te recomiendo "IAPH ID" como label en inglés y que recuerdes que es distinta de la que ya tenemos. En cuanto a lo primero aquí tienes una lista de todas las propiedades que hay. Las únicas que he visto que tengan que ver con la Antártida son GNIS Antarctica ID (P804), SCAR Composite Gazetteer place ID (P3230), Australian Antarctic Gazetteer ID (P3626), Bulgarian Antarctic Gazetteer ID (P5388). strakhov (talk) 01:08, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, no lo vi. @Discasto: Para qué borrar cuando puedes fusionar. En cualquier caso habría que solicitar una petición de borrado (una especie de CdB). Yo lo hago a partir del menú "Más", con la opción "Solicitar borrado" (donde sale lo de fusionar), aunque no sé si hacía falta activar esto en preferencias. strakhov (talk) 17:46, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Marsupium: AFAIC, different identifier -> "different thing", unless a mistake is made by the organisation issuing the ID (apparently not. They are doing this intentionally). If the BNE, DNB and so on care to distinguish a "Museo Romántico entity", I see no reason to merge them (and it would create long-term constraint violations wrt the identifiers not being unique).

Buenos días. Siento importunarte por aquí también. Estoy creando ítems de los biografiados en la Enciclopedia Auñamendi y me pregunto si hay alguna manera de agilizar y poder copiar y pegar las propiedades que se repiten en unos y otros. De igual modo, ¿existe alguna herramienta para que el nombre que pones en un idioma se copie en el resto o en una selección? Soy muy novato por estos lares. Muchas gracias de antemano, Rubpe19 (talk) 10:26, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Vale, gracias. Intentaré apañarme con esas si descubro cómo utilizarlas (soy como un cero a la izquierda en todo los aspectos técnicos). Sin más, quería empezar a volcar datos de Auñamendi y ver si era posible ahorrarme unas cuantas declaraciones, pero tampoco me costará tanto ir haciéndolo a mano uno a uno. Muchas gracias, Rubpe19 (talk) 17:00, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Uf, muchísimas gracias por todo lo que me has pasado. No sabes cómo te agradezco tu atención. Iré mirando cada herramienta poco a poco, a ver si las voy entendiendo (tampoco me vendrá mal que llegue el verano para poder dedicarle más tiempo). Me he puesto un poco con Petscan ahora, tratando de comprender cómo la puedo emplear. ¿Podría ser una estrategia ir creando los ítems tan solo con el identificador Auñamendi y después buscarlos ahí y añadir esas propiedades que sirven para todos ellos: instancia de, ocupación (si los voy creando por bloques), etc.? Disculpas desde ya si parezco tonto y, por supuesto, no me dediques demasiado tiempo, que seguro que tienes cosas que hacer... Un abrazo, Rubpe19 (talk) 20:31, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Perfecto. Pues me lo miraré con más detenimiento en cuanto termine con mis exámenes y trataré de sacarle partido. Y, si no te importa, ya te comentaré mis dudas (que sin duda surgirán). Gracias por estar siempre dispuesto a ayudar, Rubpe19 (talk) 20:44, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Buenas de nuevo, Strakhov. ¿Es posible crear una URL que se pueda usar luego como identificador? Gracias de antemano, Rubpe19 (talk) 17:33, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Rubpe19: Bueno, como supongo que habrás visto tenemos Museo del Prado artist ID (P5321), una página desde la que se llega a esto ("Ficha de autor de la colección") (el identificador allí es 9bdb1678-fdd4-47bb-92e3-6833fadc8a50). Desde allí, con un clic, se llega a "la enciclopedia", donde el identificador a primera vista pareciera ser el chorizo madrazo-y-kuntz-federico-de/d98bf1d6-9d1f-4792-8d56-2b8dd559b65d, pero en la que si sustituyes el nombre del señor por "wd" (¿Wikidata?) también funciona), por lo que entiendo que el identificador sería d98bf1d6-9d1f-4792-8d56-2b8dd559b65d a secas. Para esta segunda página ("La Enciclopedia") no hay propiedad, por el momento, en wikidata, pero al fin y al cabo tenemos un identificador hermano (que también cuenta con biografías escritas) que la enlaza siempre. strakhov (talk) 22:38, 22 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I noticed your bot added an incorrect claim to 2017 Orlando City B season (Q30636527) in this revision. I assume you're operating based on uses of {{commons category-inline}} on Wikipedia, but you might want to have some manual review in your process. There is no Commons category for the 2017 season, but there is a category for one particular match from that season, so that category was linked from the English Wikipedia page. Maybe you could set up your script to require manual review if the category name doesn't match the Wikipedia article name? Cheers, IagoQnsi (talk) 22:48, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @IagoQnsi:. I did only copy the Commons sitelink (added by a 'third party' weeks ago through this edit) to a new Commons category (P373) statement. Are there cases where a Commons category is OK in the sitelink but not in the property? Cheers. strakhov (talk) 05:48, 1 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, me he bajado el correspondiente fichero con información, por ejemplo, de ubicación. Me gustaría volcar todo a Wikidata pero no tengo claro cuál es la forma más sencilla de hacerlo. ¿Me recomiendas algo? Gracias --Discasto (talk) 13:14, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Discasto: No sé bien cuánta información tienes. Dependiendo de cómo de bien te manejes con Excel u otros programas de manipulación de columnas y filas y sucedáneos varios tienes Quickstatements (ayuda aquí). Si tienes alguna duda sobre su manejo podría intentar... pero vamos, una vez que tienes la tabla colocadita en Excel (lo más tedioso/técnico, supongo) basta con hacer copypaste y pegarla tal cual en un new batch. Le puedes poner hasta referencias. strakhov (talk) 19:02, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Gracias por señalarme que ermitas y hermitages no son lo mismo. Curioso. Querría pedir orientación. Estoy introduciendo todos los elementos patrimoniales de la Lista Roja de Hispania Nostra y tengo también los datos de cuando entraron en la lista y cuando salieron, si lo hicieron. Lo que no sé es cómo poner esa información. Existen "calificativos", pero no sé a qué declaración deben calificar. Podrías ayudarme? --Lista Roja (talk) 20:34, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hola, @Lista Roja:. Buena pregunta. Se me ocurren varias posibilidades, no sé cuál será mejor.
Quizás podría funcionar algo así como heritage designation (P1435) -> "bien en la Lista Roja de blablabla" (¿ítem por crear?) con calificadores start time (P580) y end time (P582), no sé hasta qué punto se limita a calificaciones estrictamente "estatales" esto de los estatus patrimoniales.
Lo de las ermitas... no sé si será exactamente lo mismo (esto de los idiomas es siempre un lío) pero si fueran lo mismo habiendo una puesta sería tontería poner la otra. En cualquier caso el ítem de hermitage varias descripciones lo describen como el sitio al que se retira un eremita y no sé hasta qué punto ha habido 'eremitas' en estos inmuebles españoles que editaste. Ante la duda... mejor pecar de conservadores. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 20:50, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Respecto a "cambiar de un plumazo": no veo la utilidad de eliminar la primera propiedad (cambiar): muestra un aspecto (cómo se refleja el nombre de un autor en una determinada obra) que no muestra el otro (que se limita a enlazar un Q, con una label arbitraria). Ese caballero podrá aparecer en la propiedad P2093 así: "Rafael Carmena Rodríguez", así: "Rafael Carmena", así: "R. Carmena Rodríguez", así: "R. Carmena",... dependiendo del ítem. Ergo no debe borrarse, lo que lleva a:
Respecto a "añadir de un plumazo": supongo que puedes hacer queries que devuelvan ítems que usen esas strings en P2093 y agregarles con quickstaments la otra propiedad, aunque correrás el riesgo de columpiarte y confundirlo con una persona de nombre similar (en el caso de "R. Carmena" con un hipotético "Ricardo Carmena" y en el de "Rafael Carmena" con un hipotético "Rafael Carmena Domínquez". Saludos. strakhov (talk) 15:20, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Bien, entonces conviene dejarlo tal cual por lo que podría ser desaconsejable realizar enlazaces como 'autor' en el futuro aun teniendo artículo. Gracias de nuevo, @strakhov:. Matiras (talk) 16:08, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Olea: Hola. No lo había leído. Pues... como creo haber dicho, y si no lo digo ahora, creo que si quieres cambiar el identificador de una propiedad deberías preguntar a la comunidad de Wikidata, por ejemplo aquí, pues me temo que la página de discusión de esta propiedad no será un lugar demasiado concurrido. Tengo perfectamente claro que es posible cambiar las constraints de una propiedad, borrar todos los statements y sobreescribirlos con otros nuevos, pero no tengo nada claro si, además de posible, esto es adecuado. No sé si tú conoces ejemplos previos de actuación en situaciones similares, yo ahora no recuerdo uno equivalente. Mejor curarse en salud preguntando. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 08:22, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sí, algo me habías dicho, pero es ahora cuando realmente comprendo todo el detalle. Haré la consulta como dices. Gracias :) Olea (talk) 08:36, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Strakhov:, comprendo la reversión del código 728828016 de OSM pues, como avisa el mismo sistema, no es correcto. Lo que no entiendo del todo es la prisa en revertir, cuando lo que sucede es que se detectan cosas que se están tratando de averiguar, corregir. En su caso, cuando se desentrañe el asunto, llegar a un código correcto. Pero un simple comentario sobre las prisas. Seguiré con el asunto. --Galopax (talk) 10:03, 9 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Galopax: No sé en qué dimensión de los proyectos Wikimedia habitas en la que llamas a un deshacer con explicación incluida en resumen de edición "tener prisa" o "reversión inmediata". Si te parece me apunto en una libreta cada vez que veo a alguien agregando un identificador incorrecto y me pongo una alarma en el móvil para acordarme de comentárselo unas semanas después, para que tenga tiempo de digerirlo. La tuya es una edición incorrecta, no hay más. Esa propiedad no sirve para almacenar ways, solo relations. Tú, como cartógrafo, sabrás más que yo de ese tema y de cómo funciona OpenStreetMap y los diferentes tipos de entidades. Y ya está. No hay nada de apresurado.

@JMCC1: no sé, así en la distancia parecen conceptos similares, y de todas las fusiones dudosas que se pueden realizar, en caso de hacerse y que no fuera estrictamente correcta, ...no parecería una especialmente grave, pero ni conozco suficiente del sitio en cuestión ni, siéndote sincero, el asumir responsabilidad en el futuro en posibles fusiones que encuentran/proponen otros usuarios es un fregao/marrón en el que me suela apetecerme meter por aquí. Como tú veas... strakhov (talk) 19:58, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@JMCC1: no sé a qué te refieres, aquí en Wikidata (aquí no existen categorías!), a que es "subcategoría de". Si te refieres a que "Los Mercados (Duratón)" es una "parte de" (o algo así) de la Zona arqueológica «la nec(...) (el otro ítem) ...no deberían fusionarse. Si te refieres a que es una "instancia de (P31)" zona arqueológica... pues puedes agregar esa declaración al ítem en cuestión. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 21:09, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Te pido disculpas, asumí que eran la misma cosa, pero pensándolo más detenidamente una cooperativa y una barriada son dos cosas bien distintas, aunque tengan el mismo nombre. Saludos. CFA1877 (talk) 17:46, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@CFA1877: sí, son cosas distintas. Por ejemplo una (la cooperativa) se disolvió al parecer en 1939 mientras que el barrio sigue existiendo a fecha de hoy (2021). Las fusiones en Wikidata no funcionan de la misma manera que las redirecciones en Wikipedia. Es decir, aunque en Wikipedia pudiera llegar a redirigirse un hipotético título tal que "Barriada Pablo Iglesias" al artículo actual "Cooperativa Pablo Iglesias" (por una especie de pragmatismo o menos es nada) eso no implicaría ni mucho menos que aquí los ítems aquí debieran fusionarse. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 17:51, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hola. Sobre esto, lo añado porque dentro de la declaración (669), todos los elementos asociados tienen un número identificativo único, de ahí esa numeración. ¿Debería de ir en otra declaración, en lugar del identificador de patrimonio?. Un saludo. --Rodelar (talk) 14:43, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Rodelar: hola. Ni idea. Yo cliqueé y me llevó a una página genérica del camino de Santiago. Eso, sumado a lo mucho que me extrañaba que una fábrica de productos químicos estuviera catalogada como un elemento del camino de Santiago en España me hizo pensar que... era el identificador del conjunto. Si es verdad que ese es su identificador específico (ni idea de dónde se consulta/obtiene el listín desmenuzado) pues evidentemente no hay nada que hacer: está correcto como está y me equivoqué al deshacer. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 14:51, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
La lista se puede consultar en la página de la declaración, en la pestaña de documentos; uno de ellos (el mapa de 2014) lista todos los elementos asociados, con su número identificativo. Ciertamente sorprende el tipo de elementos listados, porque muchos no tienen nada que ver con la ruta de peregrinación, parece más bien un contenedor en el que metieron todo tipo de elemento patrimonial, zonas urbanas... un buen batiburrillo.

Hello. I wanted to thank you for your help.

Hello. In Help:Sources it is explained that well-known facts do not need an statement. In fact, Pere Joan Morell i Rullan (Q110492145) has a lot of unsourced statements: instance of (P31), sex or gender (P21), country of citizenship (P27), names, and occupation (P106); apart from identifiers, that are self-sourcing statements. I would also say that common languages are generally also well-known. You can take a look to random values of languages spoken, written or signed (P1412) and check that most of them are unsourced (and there is no problem about it, do not delete them). In our case, I would say that it is well known that Pere Joan had Catalan as the native language, like anyone born in Sóller in the XVIII century. And that he spoke Spanish also, like any Spanish MP in any time. In this particular case, it is not problematic, because Pere Joan was one of the introducers of Spanish language in Mallorca, so it is easy to source it. But please, in the future do not delete statements like these ones again.
PS: I had to delete some old messages in order to save this one, because your talk page is too big. Please, archive some old messages. FogueraC (talk) 18:04, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
User:FogueraC: "I would say that it is well known that Pere Joan had Catalan as the native language". I honestly don't know that. Do you? Where do you read that? Can you source that statement? It's pretty amazing that something about a guy who until three days ago didn't even have a Wikipedia article in any Wikipedia... is something "well known", like Paris is the capital of France. I do not know much about this guy, the few works I know written by him are published in Spanish language using "Pedro Juan Morell" as pen-name. By the way, it's unlikely his native name (whatever that means, I usually do not use properties like that since it's pretty difficult sourcing that data and mostly a wild guess by Wikidata editors) was "Pere Joan Morell i Rullan", since the introduction of "i" in Catalan language meaning "and" dates back to the early 20th century (it was pretty rare in the "19th century"). And, to be honest, most of "P1412" & "P103" data in Wikidata are... rubbish data. Most of that data has been inferred by wikidata editors from nationality or supposed ethnicity -> every guy born in Galicia -> mother tongue = Galicia. Every guy born in Cuenca -> mother tongue = Spanish. Every P27=Q29 = Spanish speaker. Every guy being born in somewhere P131 Catalonia -> Catalan and Spanish speaker. To be honest, I don't even know what's the value of that data, but if you can source that, go ahead. Since you apparently are a well versed Wikidata editor, you probably know how to add "references" to contested statements. strakhov (talk) 18:31, 12 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Buenas, Strakhov. Espero que vaya todo bien. Tengo bastante poca idea de cómo funciona Wikidata en general, así que recurro a ti para tratar de solventar algunas dudas que me han surgido en los últimos días. Estoy trabajando en una serie de artículos para la Wikipedia y, al volcar los datos aquí, me he venido preguntando si sería posible (y, de serlo, si tendría sentido) crear algunos identificadores. Serían los siguientes:
el Parlamento Vasco tiene fichas de todos sus parlamentarios y otras personas que han trabajado allí y apenas cambian unos pocos números entre unas y otras;
Covite, en su Mapa del terror, tiene a su vez fichas de personas asesinadas por ETA y otras bandas terroristas, con información valiosa; y
RTVE dispone de lo que llama fichas de Memoria de vida, con información también sobre asesinados por ETA, con un identificador numérico.
Hola, Rubpe19. Espero igualmente que todo vaya bien. Tampoco te creas que yo tengo muchísima idea de cómo funciona Wikidata. En respuesta a la pregunta ¿sería posible? Supongo que sí, no sé, parecen a primera vista identificadores externos y podría ser interesante tenerlos aquí incluidos con una propiedad específicica. ¿Tendría sentido? El que cada uno le quiera ver, sí, por qué no. En general creo que los requisitos para un identificador como propiedad pueden ser que el identificador sea estable (ni idea de si estos lo son), de que haya un número significativo de identificadores individuales (esto es, una base de datos con solo 20, 30 o 100 entradas es posible que no se admita para una propiedad y se recomiende almacenarlos con propiedades genéricas como described at URL (P973)). Que la fuente/base de datos sea fiable es un plus, pero tampoco es un requisito insalvable, pues hay identificadores de wikis, wikias, etc. Que se le vaya a dar uso en algún proyecto Wikimedia es otro punto a favor de una propiedad. Etc etc. No he conseguido identificar a qué te refieres con apenas cambian unos pocos números entre unas y otras (tampoco he abierto todas las fichas allí). En cualquier caso, en general, si uno cree que una propiedad relacionada con un identificador externo puede ser interesante... creo que lo mejor es ir directamente a Wikidata:Propuestas de propiedades y formular la respectiva propuesta. Un saludo y suerte. strakhov (talk) 06:41, 10 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Buenas Strakhov, espero que estés muy bien, un placer saludarte de nuevo. Te deshice una de las dos que me habías indicado porque encontré un documento que los citaba a ambos, pero pufff voy a meter todos los id de la bne que tienen en su base de datos y antes estaba limpiando y a veces es muy complicado. Les he dicho a ellos que se encarguen de los single y yo me encargo de los unique, porque entiendo que algunos de los single serán errores en su base de datos. A ver si por lo menos se limpia un poco. Un saludo y muchas gracias por tus aportes. Vanbasten 23 (talk) 20:21, 29 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikidata Atlas is a system allows the user to search for different types of entities (with geo-coordinates) on Wikidata and visualize them on a world map. (Feedback is very welcome to help evaluate and improve the tool.)
The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link "Naissances du jour". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page w:fr:Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.

The February Working Hour will feature a presentation by Steve Baskauf on using VanderBot with Wikibase: The Wikibase API provides a mechanism for programmatic control of uploads, and its behavior is consistent across instances (Wikidata, Structured Data in Commons, and those that are established privately). In this session, Steve will discuss basic interactions with the API and demonstrate using the VanderBot Python application to rapidly upload tabular data to a wikibase.cloud instance. After performing a mass deletion, Steve will conclude by describing how he's used the Wikibase API to facilitate addition of structured data to Commons. Registration link

In this week's update by the Abstract Wikipedia and Wikifunctions team, they are asking where the right place to store and maintain Abstract Wikipedia should be. All of the options involve Wikidata to some extent, some more, some less. If the content of Abstract Wikipedia is hosted on Wikidata, that would lead to an increased scope for the Wikidata community (and likely more contributors joining). But that is a decision the Wikidata community needs to be involved in as well. (Also, if you are interested, the Abstract Wikipedia updates might be worth to follow.)
EntitySchemas: We are preparing for adding a new datatype and other changes by improving tests, documentation, etc.
Date input: We did a bug triage hour around issues with date parsing and improved it for Japanese dates (phab:T214002)

BotFunast (Task: The bot is already operational in the Tachelhit Wikipedia. One of its main tasks is editing template tags and categories, and creating new ones when necessary, based on a csv database (that you can find in github) . When adding new pages though, a common problem is to link those to Wikidata. This can be unfeasible by hand in a reasonable amount of time, when hundreds of pages, e.g. categories, are added at once. The idea is to have the bot approved for Wikidata, so it can link the pages to their counterparts in other languages automatically.)

(example link for UK red phone booths)
Top scorer (This property is for the best scorer of a single season of a team sport's competition, or even for the best ever scorer of the history of a competition. The qualifiers to be admitted to this property should be: {{p|54}}; {{p|1532}}; {{p|1013}} (es.: goals / tries / points / etc ).)
EntitySchemas: We expanded the new datatype that is in testing. When a statement links to an EntitySchema it will now show its label when available (phab:T338613). We are also working on showing them by their label in recent changes and similar places (phab:T214885).
mul language code: we are working on improving the termbox to integrate this new language code better (phab:T340644)
Mismatch Finder: We are working on adding a language selector to it so you can switch the language of the tool (phab:T328149)
Wikibase REST API: We completed two new endpoint for the Wikibase REST API:
Retrieve all statements from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements
Retrieve a single statement from a Property - /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id}
You can also retrieve a single statement from a Property from the existing /statements/{statement_id} endpoint
Top scorer (This property is for the best scorer of a single season of a team sport's competition, or even for the best ever scorer of the history of a competition. The qualifiers to be admitted to this property should be: {{p|54}}; {{p|1532}}; {{p|1013}} (es.: goals / tries / points / etc ).)
Project partner (property to list the partners of a project or an event, when different from the organizing body.)
GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements (phab:T339356) (new route)
GET /entities/properties/{property_id}/statements/{statement_id} (phab:T338383) (new route)
GET /statements/{statement_id} (now supports statements on Properties)
We started work on a new route for replacing the data of a statement on a Property (phab:T340006)
EntitySchemas:
We worked on improving the termbox (the table of labels, descriptions and aliases) on EntitySchema pages to bring it more in line with the one on Items and Properties
We made sure that EntitySchemas are shown by their label instead of ID when available in Recent Changes and similar lists (phab:T339924)
Mismatch Finder: We added a language selector so you can switch the interface language (phab:T328149)
mul language code: We are working on showing more labels from fallback languags in the termbox (phab:T340832, phab:T338330)

Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour August 18, 2023: Over the summer and into the fall the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group will be offering a series of Wikidata Working Hours to give folks an opportunity to try out various Wikidata-related skills and tools by assembling a data set of diverse library and information science (LIS) materials (articles, conference proceedings, books) and adding it to Wikidata. Wikidata Working Hours provide hands-on Wikidata experience in a supportive space. We hope you will join us if you are interested in learning more about Wikidata, exploring LIS literature, and have been looking for a fun Wikidata project to contribute to. The first Wikidata Working Hour in the series will cover creating a bibliography of diverse LIS articles and books. We will generate a spreadsheet of sources ready for use during subsequent Working Hours. This session will be recorded and the recording shared on the event page. Event page

Hola, Raderich: ya me di cuenta hace tiempo. Lo de "oid" (que es nuevo, pues realmente aquí la formatter url sigue teniendo "id", pero esta sintaxis redirige ya dentro la web de la hemeroteca digital de la BNE a "oid") sospecho que podría hacer referencia a "old id" (?). Las nuevas url funcionan con el issn o con "sid" (La Voz de Granada y La Fe (1876)). No tengo claro cuál es el paso a seguir y por tanto no he hecho nada (si pedir otra propiedad nueva para el nuevo identificador y jubilar/deprecate a la antigua o qué (posiblemente fuera lo más ortodoxo): estoy un poco desconectado de lo de las solicitudes de nueva propiedad y en general (cansado) de la lenta y pesada burocracia en los proyectos Wikimedia).

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
Welcome to the 600th Weekly Summary!
Lydia initiated the weekly newsletter at the start of the Wikidata project, before it even went live, to keep the community in the loop about the developments, the new projects and tools. Léa carried on the newsletter in 2016 and then it was my turn in 2020. The newsletter has been going strong for eleven years, with its content powered by the community, and delivered every week without fail. Thank you to everyone who helped fill in the different sections of the Weekly Summary thus far ❤️ --Mohammed
Today it is time to celebrate Wikidata’s 11th birthday. Let’s take a look back at the past year and what’s coming.
Wikidata’s world - map of Wikidata Items with a geocoordinate
There are now over 12.200 amazing people who are actively editing on Wikidata - 3000 of them even making more than 100 edits a month ♥️ Thank you! Without you Wikidata wouldn’t be what it is today. Thank you for helping give more people more access to more knowledge every single day. This year also marks the year we can welcome a new sister to the Wikimedia projects: Wikifunctions is live, letting us all geek out on functions in anticipation of Abstract Wikipedia. Another big milestone was Wikibase Cloud coming out of private beta. Now you can more easily run your own Wikibase and collect and maintain data that doesn’t fit into Wikidata. 2023 was also the year when the efforts of Wikidata editors were recognized across the Wikimedia movement with the awarding of the Wikimedian of the Year award to Taufik Rosman and the Wikimedia Laureate award to Siobhan Leachman. Over the coming year I want us to find ways how we can bring more people, who are already editing a bit here and there, closer to the community and help them find their place in our community. If you are one of them and have not found your place yet, check out a WikiProject related to your interests. Wikidata has something for everyone 😉
Wikidata now has over 106 Million Items and nearly 1.2 Million Lexemes. We are closing in on 2 Billion edits, making about 20 Million edits per month. All this content is used to create useful, quirky, educational or just fun applications that wouldn’t be possible without Wikidata and all the work you put into it. Check out Notable People for example. Over the coming year we want to make that even easier by building better APIs, lessening the strain on the Query Service, doing more outreach to developers as well as making our data more usable by ironing out ontology issues. In addition there will be increased focus on improving how the other Wikimedia projects integrate Wikidata. With the opening up of Wikibase Cloud we will hopefully also see many new Wikibases pop up that cover more specialized data or be used as playgrounds to prepare data for Wikidata. I am looking forward to a growing Wikibase Ecosystem and excited about more Linked Open Data becoming available to the world, with Wikidata being an entryway to it all.
And last but not least: if you want to learn a bit more about the history and backstory of Wikidata, then you might like Wikidata: The Making Of by Denny, Markus and me.

Wikibase REST API:
We have implemented the endpoints for PATCH /entities/items/{item_id}/aliases (phab:T337371), PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id}/aliases (phab:T342982) and PATCH /entities/properties/{property_id}/labels (phab:T342980)
We started working on the new endpoints for POST /entities/items/{item_id}/aliases/{language_code} (phab:T335842) and DELETE /entities/items/{item_id}/descriptions/{lang_code} (phab:T342986)
Language codes:
We made Special:NewLexeme more likely to guess the spelling variant for you by changing the Property we use to get the language code. Now you will see the spelling variant input pop up less often. (phab:T349652)
We started work towards allowing many more languages by default for Wikibase Lexeme and monolingual text statements. This will remove the need for a lot of requests for new language codes to be added. (phab:T341409)
Query Service UI: We’ve fixed a small issue in the Query Service UI that was introduced when updating CSS variables. Content of selected cells in the query result should be readable again. (phab:T350153)
EntitySchemas: We are continuing the work on the new data type for linking to EntitySchemas, working on overcoming architectural issues.

New request for comments: Community request for the development team to access inverse properties on client wikis. (Summary: We currently cannot access inverse property values on Wikipedia. This can be a data management issue on Wikipedia as we must always ask ourself if we must introduce an inverse property for cases where we need them. So I think it’s useful to gather the usecases community would want and draft a request for an API to the devteam to do that.)
Upcoming: The next Wikidata+Wikibase office hours will take place on Wednesday, 16:00 UTC on Wednesday, 17th January 2024 (18:00 Berlin time) in the Wikidata Telegram group.

Intento añadir a varias publicaciones periódicas el "identificador OID hemeroteca digital BNE" (Property:P2768), pero no sé cómo/donde encontrar los correspondientes códigos.
Hola, HombreDHojalata. Como puedes leer en la descripción de la propiedad ("antiguo identificador de una publicación periódica en la Hemeroteca Digital de la Biblioteca Nacional de España, véase P12151"), se trata de un identificador antiguo, que hasta donde yo sé ya no muestran en su web. Hace relativamente poco se propuso una nueva propiedad con el nuevo identificador (Property:P12151), que sí es accesible. Si estás especialmente interesado en el antiguo identificador, puedes contactarles en su web. Un saludo. strakhov (talk) 03:50, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Camillo Carlo Pellizzari di San Girolamo, Storia della collaborazione tra Wikidata e le biblioteche della Rete URBE nel controllo di autorità. Abstract: "The contribution draws a history of the presence of the identifiers of the authority records of the URBE network libraries in Wikidata, and of the collaboration that has evolved since 2020 between the Wikidata community and the cataloguers of the URBE network libraries, relating to the harmonisation of these authority records with Wikidata and the improvement of the quality of the respective data. The first part of the contribution traces the main stages of collaboration in chronological order, while the second part of the contribution presents the main areas in which the collaboration materialises (or can materialise) in the daily authority work carried out by cataloguers in theme-based groupings".
