== Altmetric ==
 
Hi Daniel,
 
I am currently working on [[User:Dirac/Altmetric|a project]] to create the links between the 26 million Wikidata element with a DOI and their {{P|5530}}. I am about to contact Altmetric to get their approval (their API is limited to 1 request per second and does not allow extraction like I want to perform), and since you've imported most of the scientific papers on Wikidata, I was wondering if you would have any comment or suggestion about this initiative.
 
Thanks, [[User:Dirac|Dirac]] ([[User talk:Dirac|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 19:51, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Dirac}} Thanks for working on this, and your notes are great. I would certainly like to see closer integration with Altmetric, but not sure what their take on this is. In terms of suggestions, a simple one would be to use {{Q|Q105082215}} as an example. More complex ones would require some more digging on my end &mdash; not sure when that may happen. There are also questions I would have for them, e.g. I would be interested in whether and how they are using Wikidata, how many Wikipedia languages they are covering now (I think they had a time with English only, then about a dozen languages, but I haven't looked into this lately, so there may well be more) and whether they pick up anything from Wikimedia Commons or other Wikimedia sites. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] ([[User talk:Daniel Mietchen|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 04:18, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 
::{{ping|Daniel Mietchen}} I received an answer from Altmetric that might change the way we use this metric. I've posted the answer, and my proposal to fix this, on the [[Property_talk:P5530#Altmetric_IDs_are_not_designed_to_be_persistent_IDs|Almetric ID talk page]]. Feel free to jump in and give your opinion. And now that I have a contact that is answering my emails, I will ask them your questions about the usage the do of Wikipedia/Wikidata. Thanks, [[User:Dirac|Dirac]] ([[User talk:Dirac|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 18:53, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 
== L2927 ==
 
You created {{L|2927}}. I pinged you on its talk page, but I see that you do not respond to pings. What is that lexeme supposed to mean (if you added a sense, what would it be)? [[User:Mahir256|Mahir256]] ([[User talk:Mahir256|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 22:44, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
:{{Ping|Mahir256}} I see this as a spelling variant of "چلتن". I have seen both (across several languages) in reference to the story of the fourty beings that has been told in the region in many variants and who have quite a few things named after them, e.g. {{Q|Q6425850}}. The best published description I am aware of is [https://archive.org/details/Islam-in-former-Russian-Empire/intbri_vol1_2006/page/449/mode/2up?q=%D1%87%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD here], transliterated into {{L|226820}}, which is the spelling most familiar to me, since my exposure to variants of this story has been mostly through Tadjik, Uzbek and Russian sources. --[[User:Daniel Mietchen|Daniel Mietchen]] ([[User talk:Daniel Mietchen|<span class="signature-talk">{{int:Talkpagelinktext}}</span>]]) 04:05, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

== [WMF Board of Trustees - Call for feedback: Community Board seats] Meetings with the Wikidata community ==
 
The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees is organizing a call for feedback about community selection processes between February 1 and March 14. While the Wikimedia Foundation and the movement have grown about five times in the past ten years, the Board’s structure and processes have remained basically the same. As the Board is designed today, we have a problem of capacity, performance, and lack of representation of the movement’s diversity. Our current processes to select individual volunteer and affiliate seats have some limitations. Direct elections tend to favor candidates from the leading language communities, regardless of how relevant their skills and experience might be in serving as a Board member, or contributing to the ability of the Board to perform its specific responsibilities. It is also a fact that the current processes have favored volunteers from North America and Western Europe. In the upcoming months, we need to renew three community seats and appoint three more community members in the new seats. This call for feedback is to see what processes can we all collaboratively design to promote and choose candidates that represent our movement and are prepared with the experience, skills, and insight to perform as trustees?
 
In this regard, two rounds of feedback meetings are being hosted to collect feedback from the Wikidata community. Two rounds are being hosted with the same agenda, to accomodate people from various time zones across the globe. We will be discussing ideas proposed by the Board and the community to address the above mentioned problems. Please sign-up according to whatever is most comfortable to you. You are welcome to participate in both as well!
 
*Round 1 - Feb 24, 4:00 pm UTC
*Round 2 - Mar 3, 4:00 am UTC
*Sign-up and meeting details: ''[[m:Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Conversations/Wikidata|Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees/Call for feedback: Community Board seats/Conversations/Wikidata]]''
 
Also, please share this with other volunteers who might be interested in this. Let me know if you have any questions. [[User:KCVelaga (WMF)|KCVelaga (WMF)]], 14:32, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
