User talk:Teester

Hi Teester, you are continuing to do great work on Irish placenames, which is helping the Irish Wikipedia a great deal, so thank you! One thing I'm seeing though are many instances where multiple Logainm.ie IDs are being added to a single WD item, like Q104359986 for example. I'm not an expert on every case but these appear to be distinct townlands based on geography (and more generally the fact that the placenames commission is generally quite careful). Just want to see if this is a consequence of your scripts that might be fixed.

Hi Teester, following up on this issue from a couple of years ago, which is still causing some problems for us. There are a few hundred cases needing review (probably to be split into distinct items). Would you be willing to help clean these up?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

As far as I can see, there are 501 townlands with more than 1 logainm ID. Of these, 401 are in Northern Ireland and 39 have 3 logainm IDs. None have more than 3 ids at this stage. The vast majority of them should be split up into multiple different townlands. I have been trying to reduce them over the past year or so, but I haven't had time to look at them in the last couple of months. I'll try to work on come of them in the next week or two, starting with the ones with 3 ids (at this query: https://w.wiki/B6Xf)

Hello! Would you like (do you plan to) upload the data of EU parliamentarians with a stick, as you have done in recent years? It has been very useful so far.

Hi @Pallor,

 Done I've uploaded the data for Tenth European Parliament (Q114425478) today. There were 6 people who didn't appear to be in wikidata already:

• Rachel BLOM (Q127599328)
• Alexandra Cíchová (Q127599329)
• Ton DIEPEVEEN (Q127599330)
• Marieke EHLERS (Q127599331)
• Judita LAŠŠÁKOVÁ (Q127599332)
• Rada LAYKOVA (Q127599333)

These may need to be merged with other entities if they do already exist.

Actually, it didn't work quite correctly. Looks like statements got merged where existing statements were present. It may take a day or two to sort out. Apologies.

Thank you for dealing with it. I noticed that where a previous cycle was not closed, a new one was opened within it. Where I find one, I include the completion time, but there are a lot of them, and I edit them by hand.

 Done I've fixed them all now

Thank you very much! (four MEPs were left out, but I corrected them by hand). Thanks

I'm sorry to bother you again, I'm interested in your opinion: do you think there is a method involving a machine or at least a little work that can be used to determine who is a representative who is missing from the list?

718 names are listed here: [] Here, however, 719:

Nikos Pappas (Q3876996) was missing from the list for some reason. He had a bare Member of the European Parliament (Q27169) statement for some reason. I've added the details to the statement.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Teester, it looks like you added wrong reference URLs into a few hundred MEP items on 20 July. I noticed it for the first time here where the added reference URL is http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/197652197802 which includes both the MEP directory ID of Angelika Winzig (Q534677) (197652) and after that the correct ID for the person (197802 for Ville Niinistö (Q2366466)). I queried that a reference URL starting with Angelika Winzig's number is present on 318 MEP items. I think we can fix this with {{Autofix}}, so you don't have to do manual editing.

I just added the Autofix. KrBot should get those done within 24 hours :)

I'm seeing errors with the script:

{{Q|42}} fails, but I don't think it should

{{Q|7075}} fails, and I don't think it should even be checked against the schema

Are these errors of the script, or of some some other tool, or really errors in Wikidata?

Any chance you're likely to bring the Representative of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (Q65494714) data up to date, or if not, can you remember how you gathered it? I'm guessing from some of the URLs that there is/was an XML file, but those links don't seem to be working any more, and I'm drawing a blank on finding an equivalent now. I can find CSV files, but those don't include dates; the site is awkward to scrape; and looking up the end time (P582) manually for everyone who's left office since your update is a fairly large undertaking.

Hi Teester, could you add property P11220 (fruit color) to the script DisplayColourSwatches, so that colors are displayed for that property like they are for P2827 (flower color)?

Hi AdamSeattle,

I've added P11220 to the userscript now.

Hello Teester,

I'm the main maintainer of WikibaseIntegrator (https://github.com/LeMyst/WikibaseIntegrator), a python library to interact with Wikibases.

I would like to implement your CompareShape and Shape classes from https://github.com/Teester/entityshape into my project. It's OK for you ?

(It's a copy of a message I posted on https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Teester)

Best Regards,

Hi Myst,

That would be fine by me. The only thing I would ask is that if you make any improvements to the classes (and there is definitely improvements that could be made!) you allow me to add them to the original project.

Hi, I think the API needs to be restarted. It returns 500 since the recent VPS cloud issue.

I would like to be a co-maintainer for the tool in toolforge. Would that be ok? Please add me in that case.

Hi,

Could you add a bit of documentation on top of User:Teester/CheckShex.js and User:Teester/EntityShape.js? (they seem very similar and I don't remember what each one is doing exactly)

Hi Vigneron,

I've added a description of what each script does to the top of each script.

Mark

Perfect, thanks a lot!

Hi Teester,

Thanks for all of your work on Irish placenames in Wikidata. I've noticed between 800 and 900 items where you set an Irish name with a broken diacritic; see for example Q104354280 or Q104360281. If I could get you a list of the problematic QIDs, would you be able to use your scripts to correct the Irish names?

Best

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Sorry about that. Looks like an encoding issue with letters with fadas. I have a list with 1021 results for labels at https://w.wiki/5He6 and a list of 448 results for descriptions at https://w.wiki/5He4. I'll work on fixing these as soon as I can.

Mark
