Hey all :). We've just deployed another set of features for Page Curation. They include flyouts from the icons in ], showing who reviewed an article and when, a listing of this in the "info" flyout, and a general re-jigging of the info flyout - we've also fixed the weird bug with page_titles_having_underscores_instead_of_spaces in messages sent to talkpages, and introduced ! As always, these features will need some work - but any feedback would be ]. | |||

*** --> The "Promoting Open Knowledge Practices in African Libraries through Wikidata" project, executed by AfLIA with support from the Wikimedia Foundation, trained African librarians on using Wikidata to enhance the visibility of library collections and close the knowledge and gender gap on Africa. The course was facilitated by experienced African Wikimedian editors and included diverse strategies for learner engagement and support. | |||
** Papers: by (Conia et al, 2023) --> This paper introduces a novel task of automatic Knowledge Graph Enhancement (KGE) to bridge the gap in the quantity and quality of textual information between English and non-English languages in Wikidata. It presents M-NTA, an unsupervised approach that combines Machine Translation, Web Search, and Large Language Models to generate high-quality textual information, and studies its impact on Entity Linking, Knowledge Graph Completion, and Question Answering tasks. | |||
** Videos | |||
*** --> The lecture "Fundamentals and application-oriented methods of the Digital Humanities" by Kay-Michael Würzner is designed as a series of lectures in which teachers in the "Digital Humanities" course present their fields of work and key topics and present them for discussion. | |||
*** --> Generative AI has changed the information ecosystem, and open-source knowledge graphs like Wikidata can become invaluable assets, propelling a myriad of applications forward. Jonathan Fraine & Lydia Pintscher present the practical integration of Wikidata's open-source, open-access knowledge graph to empower Generative AI applications. Harnessing the real-time updated, structured data encapsulated within Wikidata, they explore automated content creation, data augmentation, and semantic analysis, underpinning the generative paradigms. Through a blend of theoretical insights and real-world applications, they elucidate how to leverage Wikidata to elevate generative AI applications, breaking down existing data silos, and fostering a collaborative ecosystem within our global community of developers and contributors. | |||
*** --> Discussion with Alice Kibombo, Georges Fodouop and Jesse Asiedu-Akrofi, about Wikidata for African Librarians during the Wiki Indaba conference, that took place between 3-5 November 2023 in Agadir, Morocco. | |||
*** --> Report on recent residency program to extensively link together collection data from ACMI with Wikidata. This work has allowed the organisation to import vast quantities of data and media to enrich their own internet collection experience, as well enable writing information back to source and federating with other linked institutions. | |||
*** (in Italian) --> The ontology of Wikidata: how to interact with it for a better quality, by ] | |||
** Notebooks | |||
*** --> An interactive map where each red dot represents a K-pop Idol (a singer or musician in South Korean Pop music) you are able to click on. | |||
*** --> Disney has greatly evolved from the simple animation company that first debuted in 1923 with its signature Steamboat Willie animation. This analysis details some of the major acquisitions Disney has chosen to help expand its reach as a media and entertainment company. | |||
*** --> A network graph and multiple data visualizations on UCLA's alumnni awards based on gender. | |||
*** --> This analyses details the coaching tree of the prolific American Football coach Bill Belichick. | |||
*** --> Map of how many statues there are, who is depicted in the statues, their genders, and where the statues are concentrated. | |||
*** --> This work uses Wikidata to analyze the influence and success of children of famous actors (nepo babies) in the entertainment industry, and compares the careers and net worth of these children with their parents to understand the impact of nepotism on their success. | |||
* ''' Tool of the week ''' | |||
** ] - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent). | |||
** ] - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using ] information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data. | |||

This is a friendly note for future reference relating to your procedural close of ] as being the wrong venue, directing the request to RfD instead.

Tom Morris, I wanted to commend you for your post on the ] WP Administrator's noticeboard. <ref> http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Misplaced Pages:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&diff=next&oldid=533790956 </ref> Adding to the motivation for that discussion, I have to wonder about your motivation for getting on your ] soapbox & making your statement: "This might lead one to think that Didymus Judas Thomas is a paid advocate working for Burzynski. Or not." You're entitled to your opinion, but your opinion is not based on "facts," but just your inaccurate speculation. I would suggest that if you have to put "Or not" after it, it probably was not worth bringing up in the first place, because WP doesnt need moar dramah, & no, i didn't mumble when i typed that. Thank you very much. ] (]) 10:01, 20 January 2013 (UTC)Didymus Judas Thomas 1/20/2013 | |||

::Tom Morris, thank you for your biased ] soapbox comments. Let's see: I note you provide no cite(s) for your "Burzynski has lawyers/PR folk who have been known to spend their time, oh, suing critics" comment. In the past I have requested that WP post information not exactly flattering to SRB & that has not been done as well, nor any reason provided as to why it has not been posted: "Please add: (Inspection section?) 6/7/2001 Inspection of clinic, Dal-DO/San Antonio Resident Post, HFD-47, Good Clinical Practice Branch II, Division of Scientific Investigations, CDER (FACTS #213702) . Didymus Judas Thomas (talk) 12:50, 7 December 2012 (UTC) Didymus Judas Thomas. Please add: 10/18/2012 Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Food and Drug Administration, Antineoplastons A10 and AS2-1 Injections MA #1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Didymus Judas Thomas (talk • contribs) 14:21, 7 December 2012 (UTC) DJT, it's not enough to post links, you have to argue why (and how) they should be added to a page. Where would, for example, the Form 10-K be a useful source? What statement could be sourced with it? --Six words (talk) 14:22, 7 December 2012 (UTC) 6/7/01 doc lists what issues the FDA inspection team had with the clinic and recorded everyone present, questions that were asked and answered, and data on the patients. Didymus Judas Thomas (talk) 16:24, 7 December 2012 (UTC) Didymus Judas Thomas 12/7/12. 10/18/12 this doc is important because it shows the results of the FDA's review of the business' web-site and the information that needed to be changed.

- Tool of the week
- Cersei - is a tool designed for importing or scraping data from various third-party sources, using source-specific Python code. It can use a "headless browser" to scrape complicated websites that rely on eg JavaScript to navigate. It can therefore access data sources that can not be accessed via eg Mix'n'match. The data from sources can be updated regularly, either for everything, or just changed entries (if the source has a "recent changes" equivalent).
- Wikidata:Zotero/Cita - is a Wikidata addon for Zotero that adds citations (i.e., what other items an item cites) metadata support to this open source reference management software, using cites work (P2860) information available from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data.
