I'm looking at the Zamira Hajiyeva article which you created and am struggling to render it as anything other than WP:BLP1E. What's your view? Thanks, talk to !dave 14:00, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks. I started it as a redirect to her husband, Jahangir Hajiyev. On reflection, her spending at Harrods and becoming the first recipient of an Unexplained Wealth Order are separate enough. Plus we have the Knightsbridge house and the Ascot golf course. I think that there is enough to be more than a WP:BLP1E case. Edwardx (talk) 14:20, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
And her identity was hidden until recently due to the court case which prevented full reporting. Now it is out, more sources should emerge. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:32, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
Fair enough. Thought this would be a better route than dismissively sending it to AfD. talk to !dave 16:18, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi -

Can you please explain the advert tag on this article? Which sections read as advertising? Vizjim (talk) 07:24, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

For starters, "A key driver of higher education reform in Europe", cited to a YouTube video, which is not a reliable source in any event. Am restoring the tag until such issues are addressed. Have copied this to the article talkpage, where any further discussion should take place. Edwardx (talk) 09:41, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
Just to say sorry re: the speedy delete revert on this article. I had honestly forgotten I originated the page! Vizjim (talk) 06:44, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for informing me about conflicts of interest but I do not have one. I'm a new user and Dan K. Webb is simply the first article that I've decided to work on.

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Edwardx, thank you for your work reviewing New Pages!

Backlog

As of 21 October 2018, there are 3650 unreviewed articles and the backlog now stretches back 51 days.

Community Wishlist Proposal
Project updates
  • ORES predictions are now built-in to the feed. These automatically predict the class of an article as well as whether it may be spam, vandalism, or an attack page, and can be filtered by these criteria now allowing reviewers to better target articles that they prefer to review.
  • There are now tools being tested to automatically detect copyright violations in the feed. This detector may not be accurate all the time, though, so it shouldn't be relied on 100% and will only start working on new revisions to pages, not older pages in the backlog.

Wikidata imaged

Around 2.7 million Wikidata items have an illustrative image. These files, you might say, are Wikimedia's stock images, and if the number is large, it is still only 5% or so of items that have one. All such images are taken from Wikimedia Commons, which has 50 million media files. One key issue is how to expand the stock.

Indeed, there is a tool. WD-FIST exploits the fact that each Wikipedia is differently illustrated, mostly with images from Commons but also with fair use images. An item that has sitelinks but no illustrative image can be tested to see if the linked wikis have a suitable one. This works well for a volunteer who wants to add images at a reasonable scale, and a small amount of SPARQL knowledge goes a long way in producing checklists.

Gran Teatro, Cáceres, Spain, at night

It should be noted, though, that there are currently 53 Wikidata properties that link to Commons, of which P18 for the basic image is just one. WD-FIST prompts the user to add signatures, plaques, pictures of graves and so on. There are a couple of hundred monograms, mostly of historical figures, and this query allows you to view all of them. commons:Category:Monograms and its subcategories provide rich scope for adding more.

And so it is generally. The list of properties linking to Commons does contain a few that concern video and audio files, and rather more for maps. But it contains gems such as P3451 for "nighttime view". Over 1000 of those on Wikidata, but as for so much else, there could be yet more.

Go on. Today is Wikidata's birthday. An illustrative image is always an acceptable gift, so why not add one? You can follow these easy steps: (i) log in at https://tools.wmflabs.org/widar/, (ii) paste the Petscan ID 6263583 into https://tools.wmflabs.org/fist/wdfist/ and click run, and (iii) just add cake.

Not sure if you noticed but I reviewed your nomination and it will be good to go as soon as you add a QPQ. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 10:22, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Birth date question

Hi Edwardx, You recently reverted my edit when I added a person's date of birth, Sarah LeBrun Ingram, citing WP:primary. As I put in the edit summary, I found the date in US Public Records Index,1950-1993, Vol.1 . It is an exact match of Sarah LeBrun + Owings Mills, Maryland, and was in the range of a reliable secondary source which indirectly gave her birth to plus/minus one year. A birth date is a straightforward descriptive fact. It seems that a date found in a such a source could be used, albeit with care. Giving a date of birth does not does not involve any interpretation. Here is Wiki policy:

Unless restricted by another policy, primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them.[d] Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. A primary source may only be used on Wikipedia to make straightforward, descriptive statements of facts that can be verified by any educated person with access to the primary source but without further, specialized knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages to describe the plot, but any interpretation needs a secondary source.

Best regards, Eagledj (talk) 17:42, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Edwardx, this needs a QPQ; it's been over a week since the review and over four since the nomination. Please supply one as soon as possible. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:25, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

Teddy Sagi page

Hi EdwardX

I left a note on the talk section of the Teddy Sagi page on here along these lines:

Hi, I am writing from Media Zoo, the PR agency for Teddy Sagi's Family Office.

I am here to ask that Mr Sagi’s page is updated with the following:

1. Reference 21 to be removed: The Daily Mail, 18 April 2014 links to Best Sports betting software a website promising to give gamblers 100% winning bets. I am questioning whether this site is a reliable published source as it is in fact is a blog promoting its own betting software, using misleading and potentially harmful claims about its ability to predict the outcomes of sporting events.

Could you please consider removing this as the link does not pair up to the reference and on the basis that this is not a reliable, published source?

2. Reference 28 to be removed: "Teddy Sagi: Israeli billionaire bachelor who has just saved spread-betters Plus500 for £500m". Ibtimes.co.uk. 2 June 2015. Retrieved 28 April 2016. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/teddy-sagi-israeli-billionaire-bachelor-who-has-just-saved-spread-betters-plus500-500m-1503926. This article does not make reference the statement in the page.

Could you please consider removing on the basis that this is not a reliable, published source?

Please let me know when these changes will be able to be reviewed and updated.

Can you let me know if you are the best person to action these changes, or if I should be speaking to someone else?

Cheers

NPR Newsletter No.15 16 November 2018

Chart of the New Pages Patrol backlog for the past 6 months.

Hello Edwardx,

Community Wishlist Survey – NPP needs you – Vote NOW
  • Community Wishlist Voting takes place 16 to 30 November for the Page Curation and New Pages Feed improvements, and other software requests. The NPP community is hoping for a good turnout in support of the requests to Santa for the tools we need. This is very important as we have been asking the Foundation for these upgrades for 4 years.
If this proposal does not make it into the top ten, it is likely that the tools will be given no support at all for the foreseeable future. So please put in a vote today.
We are counting on significant support not only from our own ranks, but from everyone who is concerned with maintaining a Wikipedia that is free of vandalism, promotion, flagrant financial exploitation and other pollution.
With all 650 reviewers voting for these urgently needed improvements, our requests would be unlikely to fail. See also The Signpost Special report: 'NPP: This could be heaven or this could be hell for new users – and for the reviewers', and if you are not sure what the wish list is all about, take a sneak peek at an article in this month's upcoming issue of The Signpost which unfortunately due to staff holidays and an impending US holiday will probably not be published until after voting has closed.

WikiCite issue

GLAM ♥ data — what is a gallery, library, archive or museum without a catalogue? It follows that Wikidata must love librarians. Bibliography supports students and researchers in any topic, but open and machine-readable bibliographic data even more so, outside the silo. Cue the WikiCite initiative, which was meeting in conference this week, in the Bay Area of California.

Wikidata training for librarians at WikiCite 2018

In fact there is a broad scope: "Open Knowledge Maps via SPARQL" and the "Sum of All Welsh Literature", identification of research outputs, Library.Link Network and Bibframe 2.0, OSCAR and LUCINDA (who they?), OCLC and Scholia, all these co-exist on the agenda. Certainly more library science is coming Wikidata's way. That poses the question about the other direction: is more Wikimedia technology advancing on libraries? Good point.

Wikimedians generally are not aware of the tech background that can be assumed, unless they are close to current training for librarians. A baseline definition is useful here: "bash, git and OpenRefine". Compare and contrast with pywikibot, GitHub and mix'n'match. Translation: scripting for automation, version control, data set matching and wrangling in the large, are on the agenda also for contemporary library work. Certainly there is some possible common ground here. Time to understand rather more about the motivations that operate in the library sector.
