''' Tool of the week '''
A few months ago there was an arbitration request about Future Perfect at Sunrise where the arbitrator Sir Fozzie that FPAS should make no more admin actions related to editors involved in the race and intelligence area, "or the next step WILL be to hand out sanctions." In the same request you that a wider-ranging case is likely going to be necessary. Sir Fozzie seems inactive now, but I'd like you to please clarify something.
* - ] introduces their new tool.
* ] - This is a User script to easily add a new Item while editing a Statement and noticing that the desired Item is missing.


''' Other Noteworthy Stuff '''
Future Perfect at Sunrise has not followed the instructions Sir Fozzie gave him. About a month ago he blocked my IP range with the that it was to make me register, but the block itself was a hard block that disabled registration for my IP range. He refused to respond to other editors' questions about that inconsistency in my user talk, his own user talk, or in the AN thread another editor posted about it. This issue might seem "stale" now, but that's because his block made it so following his instructions to register took me a month. I finally was able to get an account just a few days ago.
* The second iteration of the ] has begun. Class will continue until August 11. Whether you're a beginner taking your first steps, an individual in need of a refresher on Wikidata concepts, or a seasoned trainer looking to level up your skills - this course is right for you.


''' Newest ] and ] to review '''
Now that FPAS again did what he was told not to do, I think that "next step" mentioned by Sir Fozzie should happen now. But I don't know how to make that happen. Could you please explain what I need to do to get the arbitrators to address Future Perfect at Sunrise's irresponsibility with his admin powers? I also ask that you please explain what you meant by "a wider-ranging case", e.g. who it must include for you to accept it. ] (]) 07:03, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

*I'm not going to answer any clear details because of the potential for a case request, but SirFozzie was speaking for himself there, that was not a formal admonishment by the Committee or a restriction, and as SirFozzie is no longer an arbitrator, its relevance might be limited even more. My own comment was not directed at any individual editor, but at the race and intelligence topic area, which at the time, was one of arbcom's most perennial issues for the 2012 term. AS to FPaS, if you want Arbcom to take a fresh look at him, you can file a case request at ], though I will make no prediction as to how that would end up (the general rules about the committee being the very last step in dispute resolution apply). ] 13:42, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

  • Upcoming events: Data Reuse Days - online event focusing on projects using Wikidata's data, 18-27 February 2025. You can submit a proposal for the program on the talk page until January 12th.

  • Papers
    • Library Data in Wikimedia Projects: Case Study from the Czech Republic by Jansová, L., Maixnerová, L., & Š´tastná, P. (2024). "The paper outlines the collaboration between the National Library of the Czech Republic and Wikimedia since 2006, focusing on linking authority records with Misplaced Pages articles and training librarians and users. By 2023, the National Library provided most of its databases under a CC0 license, launched a "Wikimedians in Residence" program, and collaborated on projects involving linked data and using authority records in Wikidata. This partnership has enhanced their cooperation for mutual benefit, identifying key factors for their successful long-term collaboration."
    • How have you modelled my gender? Reconstructing the history of gender representation in Wikidata by Melis, B., Fioravanti, M., Paolini, C., & Metilli, D. (2024). "The paper traces the evolution of gender representation in Wikidata, showing how the community has moved from a binary interpretation of gender to a more inclusive model for trans and non-binary identities. The Wikidata Gender Diversity project (WiGeDi) timeline highlights the significant changes influenced by external historical events and the community's increased understanding of gender complexity."
  • Videos: Arabic Wikidata Days 2024 - Data Science Course - First Practical Session: Wikibase-CLI Tool (part 1, part 2) by Saeed Habishan. "The Wikibase-CLI enables command-based interaction with Wikidata using shell scripts and JavaScript. The tool runs on NodeJS and enables automatic reading and editing of Wikidata."

Tool of the week
