Falls sich jemand dafür interessiert, wie man in #wikidata am besten Personenstandsurkunden als Fundstellen verzeichnet, der möge doch mal auf https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Kolja21#Arthur_von_Mayer vorbeischauen.

Is there a way to the SHORT name of months in multiple languages from #wikidata ?
Like "Jan/Feb/Mar", for English?
Doean't seem to be on the month item itself, eg https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q108

Hey @crossref
We (#wikidata / #scholia ) consume your DOI metadata. Recently there seem to be much more #MathML in the titles, which we're struggling with. See https://github.com/WDscholia/scholia/issues/2626
Do you have a recommended approach for dealing with these? Is there a better approach than just stripping out the XML tags?

#Wikipédia est une thématique d'une brûlante actualité !
Pourquoi ce site internet est important pour la recherche et l'#ESR ? Comment fonctionne-t-il ? Et c'est quoi #Wikidata, #Commons, #Wikisource ?
Comment les mobiliser dans ses recherches ?
Je propose un webinaire de 2h pour découvrir ces projets et répondre à vos questions !

#Paris1 a décerné combien de doctorats honoris causa depuis sa création ? Pour le savoir faut fusionner deux pages : la liste actuellement en ligne (2000-2024) et l'ancienne liste archivée par Internet Archive (1971-2016). Ce qui donne un total de 68 ou 69 (un en plus dans le JORF) #DHC. #Wikidata a la liste complète

Trump wants to delete the common knowledge of the world.
Be aware that one implication might be the determination of the .org domains of #wikipedia by a fascist regime [registered in US].
You MUST immediately give special attention to all the wikibase hostnames and advice EURid to block requests from other parties than @wikipedia
I do urge you to EU-backup #wikidata as well as wikipedia, wiki #commons and all belonging projects frequently now.
I do request you to give wikipedia all imaginable help !

@awinkler @librerli u.a. Spezialisten:
Sehe ich das richtig, dass in (de-) #Wikipedia-Artikeln die bisher immer (linke Spalte) gegebene Verlinkung auf das zugehörige #Wikidata-Datenobjekt verschwunden ist? Ist offenbar auch bei Personen so.
(Wenn ja) Wieso?
zB verweist https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patitiri nicht mehr (direkt) auf https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2056961. Stattdessen die "nearby"-Suche über die Koordinaten zu nutzen o.Ä. ist sehr viel fehleranfälliger.
Schade, habe ich immer gerne und zielführend genutzt!

On Monday #PopeFrancis died and in the next weeks the Papal #Conclave will start.
Who are the Cardinal Electors of 2025 conclave? I thought that should be a good question for #Wikidata.
I wrote a piece about queries and data wrangling/modelling ("cardinals" omg!) in Wikidata: https://nearby.hypotheses.org/2478
Heute im Lokal K: full house mit Kratzwürmern, Wattenscheid, Wikitabellen mit Stolpersteinen, Hagelslag und altem Gouda, Wikidata-Schlüsselereignisse wie „Feuer im Flakturm Friedrichshain und Verschwinden der dort aufbewahrten Gemälde“, Konklave-Prognosen, noch mal Wattenscheid und und und … #wikipedia #wikidata #köln

Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly CommunicationThe New Zealand Thesis Project: Connecting a Nation’s Dissertations Using WikidataIntroduction: Libraries hold large amounts of bibliographic data, with great potential for enrichment with linked open data. The New Zealand Thesis Project explored this potential by uploading thesis metadata records from New Zealand institutional repositories to Wikidata, a collaborative linked data knowledge base.
Description of Project: Nine New Zealand tertiary institutions collaborated with four Wikidata experts to upload a combined national dataset of doctoral and master’s theses. Thesis records, including author and advisor names and richly described with main subject statements, were extracted from each repository, combined, and data cleaned before being uploaded to Wikidata. The team then undertook additional data enrichment, round-tripped Wikidata’s QID identifiers back to individual repositories, and used the new records to cite theses on authors’ Wikipedia pages. Wikidata queries and other visualizations were created to demonstrate how connecting the thesis metadata to records for authors, advisors, institutions, and subjects allows new insights into our collections.
Next Steps: Documentation is being fine-tuned to support future similar projects, and a second combined upload is under discussion to continue growing the New Zealand Thesis Project. There is considerable scope to continue enriching Wikidata records, some of which is already underway by Wikidata volunteers.
