note a collection of perspectives on wiki life listen to wikipedia top 100 weeklypedia recent changes map see also our story finfam questions contact twitter source rss 25 sep weeklypedia service resumes tomorrow a bit of news hello hatnote weeklypedia fans current subscribers might have noticed the curiously repetitive content the last couple weeks turns out the official mediawiki instances that we use to pull recent changes got upgraded and broke our queries that s all fixed now so fresh weeklypedia will be in your inbox tomorrow in the meantime we figured it s worth mentioning that we missed this change due to the launch of another project finfam the collaborative financial planning platform while not an official hatnote project it s very much wiki adjacent imagine a wiki of interactive explorable explanations defined in spreadsheets which are also open source we call them views if you have something quantitative especially financial but don t feel like firing up your html js css skills finfam makes it so you can do it all from excel google sheets see a demo on the about page so far we ve got views for deciding between renting and buying a house how much it costs to have raise a baby in the sf bay area how much to pay yourself as a startup founder and even how long you re likely to live and at least a dozen more if you re a fellow wiki fan i d love if you checked it out and shared your feedback looking forward to seeing you around 26 nov for all you top hatnote com readers out there we just added some shortcuts to do a web search and news search ️ for each article hope this saves you a click or two 9 jun hatnote anonymous asked hello thank you for hatnote i love having it in the background while i work i was wondering whether there are any issues legal copyright etc in using the hatnote audio for music creation for example could i use snippets of the audio in a song i create are there permissions or attributions needed thanks hi glad you enjoy listen to wikipedia feel free to create and remix attribution and a cc license would be much appreciated happy listening and creating 3 may hatnote anonymous asked are there any time lapse videos of the rcmap of english wikipedia editing over 24 hours to show how the editing activity shifs around the globe not that we know of would love to see one could make a great addition to seealso org 10 mar hatnote anonymous asked you may find this article interesting arxiv 1708 05368 quite thanks 2 jun just a quick update to this post we made some minor changes and now there s a button to unmute the first time you visit listen hatnote com if you can see the activity but can t hear the chimes check your volume levels and click on it or anywhere to get back to your regularly schedule program 24 may hatnote anonymous asked the first time i went to listen to wikipedia from a browser chrome i was delighted but now i get no sound there is a control on the upper right of the page that looks like a volume slider but moving it around has no effect my speakers are working fine and i haven t changed anything on my computer that i know of since i did get sound that first time i have done a windows update but iirc the sound stopped working before i did that do i need to configure something thanks hey listener sorry to hear about the trouble but yes we can confirm that it s not just you due to new chrome policy changes the browser automutes listen hatnote com we re going to need to make some code changes to fix that we ll need to start in a muted state and then have users click unmute at least for chrome users no exact date on when we ll have that fix out but stephen and i should have some spare time in the next few weeks i m sure in the meantime might i recommend switching to firefox besides not having made this policy change firefox is just a better browser from a much better company and hatnote s browser of choice mahmoud ps if you or anyone reading this happens to have a bit of time and skill to fix this we are always open to contributions 18 oct unlocking the human potential of wikidata wikidata is amazing thanks to the amazing wikidata evangelists out there i feel confident that given at least five minutes i can convince anyone that wikidata offers a critical service necessary for wikipedia other wiki projects and generally the future of knowledge challengers welcome but wikidata has a problem right now it s optimized to ingest and grow we ve written about how it s not ideal for maintenance of the datasets but automated ingestion of datasets is what wikidata does best all this automated growth doesn t necessarily connect well with the organic growth of wikipedia and other projects and we can see that wikidata hasn t truly captured the positive attentions of existing editor communities for that human touch wikidata needs ever so much it must reach out to the projects that gave rise to it one idea for doing this would be to make human editing of wikidata easier make editing wikidata as easy as adding a citation to wikipedia literally highlight a statement click a button like structure this statement and grow wikidata all without leaving your home wiki what it might look like to edit wikidata from wikipedia while wikitext will always have its place for me i ve quite warmed up to the visual editor and prefer its interface for adding citations while it s only an idea for an experiment at the moment how might an inline wikidata editor following the same pattern could be change the game for wikidata a lot of data is already citing back to home wikis but a powerful enough editor could pull the citation on a statement through to the wikidata entry along with the import source so much data is already coming from wikipedia but humans can do even better i have always thought it would be great to see wikidata s support for multi valued properties leveraged more fully a language agnostic knowledgebase will be a new space to compare and resolve facts a meeting of the many minds across different languages of wikipedia could spell better information for all an advanced enough system could encourage contributions on the basis of coverage highlighting cited statements which have not yet been structured and of course at the very least we speed up building an intermediary representation of knowledge not tied to a specific language people sharing knowledge across wikis helping to further bootstrap a wikidata community with close ties to its older siblings 2 jun wikicite 2017 and the 7 features wikidata needs most at wikicite 2017 discussions revolved around an ambitious goal to use wikidata to create a central citation database for all the references on wikipedia citations are the essential building blocks of verifiability a core tenet of wikipedia this project aims to give citations the first class treatment they deserve we saw three important questions emerge at the conference what does a good citation database look like how can we build this on wikidata how can we integrate this with wikipedia these are hard questions to answer them wikicite brought together expert ontologists and librarians specializing in citation and reference modeling groups like crossref with treasure troves of rich bibliographic data developers and data scientists with experience importing datasets into wikidata wikicite may be young but clear progress has been made already wikidata now boasts some great collections of bibliographic data like the zika corpus and data from the genewiki project some wikipedias like french and russian are experimenting with generating citations using wikidata some citation databases are integrated with visual editor to make it easy to add rich citations on wikipedia which can hopefully one day be added to wikidata for further reuse and tracking there are still a few features that wikidata needs to be a first class host for citation data even the best structured data takes time to define in wikidata s precise terms of items properties modifiers and qualifications although it s possible to use some handy tools on wikidata for bulk actions it often requires changing your dataset to match the tool s specific format or writing bespoke code for your dataset it s still challenging to ensure data is high quality well sourced and ready for long term maintenance in listening to researchers talks discussing with experts in working groups and workshopping code with some of wikidata s soon to be biggest users we determined that wikidata needs seven features for true wikicite readiness bulk data import there must be an easy process for loading large amounts of data onto wikidata there are a few partial tools like quickstatements which while itself aptly named is just one part of an often arduous workflow other people have written custom bots to import their specific dataset on top of libraries like wikidata integrator or pywikibot without help from an experienced wikidata contributor there is not an easy self service way to move data in bulk sets wikidata needs a feature to track and curate specific groups of items sets are a necessary concept to answer questions about a complete group right now you can use wikidata to tell you facts about the states in austria but it cannot tell you the complete list of all states in austria sets are key for curators to perform this sort of cross sectional data management data management tools data curators need tools to monitor data of interest wikidata is big the basic tools like watchlists were designed for wikipedians articles on a much smaller scale with a much coarser granularity than the wikidata statement or qualifier an institution that donates data to wikidata may want to monitor thousands maybe hundreds of thousands of items and properties donors of complete datasets will want to watch their data for deletions additions and edits grouping edit events at the moment many community members are adding data to wikidata in bulk but this is a fact that wikidata s user interface struggle to represent wikidata currently offers a piecemeal history of user s individual edits and encourages editors to add citations and references for individual statements these features are vital but we need a higher level grouping feature for higher level data uploads for instance it would be helpful to have an upload id for associated edits across many claims it would also be useful to have a dedicated namespace for human and machine readable documentation of the data load process a kind of readme that addresses the whole action this kind of documentation not only helps community members get answers to questions before during and after large scale activity but it also helps future data donors learn about and follow best practices a draft or staging space there should be a way for people to add content to wikidata without directly modifying live data currently when something is added to wikidata it is immediately mixed in with everything else it s daunting for new users to have to get it right on the first try let alone take quick corrective action in the face of inevitable mistakes modeling a dataset in wikidata s terms requires using wikidata s specific collection of items and properties you may not see how your data fits into wikidata perhaps requiring new properties and items until you begin to add it experienced wikidata volunteers may review data to ensure it s high quality but it would be better to enable this collaborative process before data is part of the project s official collection you should be able to upload your data to a staging space on wikidata ensure it s high quality and properly structured and then publish it when it s ready the primarysources tool is a community driven start to this but such a vital feature needs support from the core in the longer term this feature is a small step toward maximizing wikidata consistency by setting the stage to transactionally add and modify large scale data it would be helpful to have data cleanup tools similar to openrefine available for data staging data models wikidata needs new ways to collaborate on new kinds of items specifically we need a better way to reach consensus on models for certain standard types of data currently it s possible describe the same entity in multiple ways and lacking a forum for this process it s hard to discuss the differences see for instance the drastically different ways that various subway lines are described as wikidata items additionally some models may want to impose certain constraints on instances or at least indicate if an item complies with its model looking to the future tools for collaborative data modeling would grow to include a library of data models unlike any other point in time links there should be a way to share a dataset from wikidata at a given point in time wikidata like wikipedia is continuously changing wikipedia supports linking to a specific revision of an article at a point in time using a permalink and you can do the same for a specific wikidata item however wikidata places special emphasis on relationships between items yet does not extend the permalink feature to these relationships if you run a query on the wikidata query service the sparql endpoint for wikidata and then share the query with someone else they may see different results these seven features came up consistently across several groups and discussions at wikicite as a room full of problem solvers several good projects are already underway to provide community based solutions in these areas among the handful that were started at the conference we are pleased to share we ve started work on handcart a tool for simplifying medium sized bulk imports for citation data and much much more we believe trying to fix a problem is the best way to learn its details and nuances wikicite made a strong case that wikidata has a lot of valuable potential for citations and citations are crucial for wikipedia as we work to address these missing features in wikidata we are happy to be part of the wikicite movement to build a more verifiable world thanks for inviting us wikicite hope to see everyone again next time photos are cc by and can be found here and here 22 may wikicite 2017 having a great pre wikicite gelato social here in vienna also say hi to the newest hatnote contributor pawel he does the frontend for montage and also does great work on monumental as you can see we re all pretty excited for what wikicite 2017 will bring and also ice cream 28 dec montage and wiki loves monuments 2016 hatnote welcomed the holidays this year even more than usual as they coincided with a fine end to another successful chapter of wikipedia related work we ve got several projects to talk about but the centerpiece this year is montage montage is a judging tool used to judge well over a hundred thousand of the submissions to this year s wiki loves monuments photography competition we wrote more about it over on the wikimedia blog take a look in the mean...
