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!

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 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,

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

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.

Hi Teester,

In September, we're organizing the Data Quality Days, a series of events about data quality on Wikidata. We're having a session where tools related to data quality are presented, on September 14th at 16:00 UTC, and I was wondering if you'd be interested in presenting some of the scripts you wrote, such as ConstraintSummary and CheckShex.

The session will be quite informal, it will take place in a Jitsi room with ~20 participants, and you would have up to 10min to present and demo the tools.

If you're interested, feel free to add yourself directly in the schedule under the related session, or let me know if you encounter an issue.

Thanks in advance!
