Structured Data on Commons explained, with Andrew Lih, John Cummings and Pharos (Youtube)
Discovering history's notable people (audio). Using Wikidata and Wikipedia as the backbone, this project "construct[s] a new dataset of more than seven million notable individuals across recorded human history".
User:So9q/Gadget-CreateNewEntity.js is a userscript to add a "create new item" link in the dropdown menu for when you want to * add an item to a property, but the item does not exist. (recently modified to support lexemes).
Wikidata Lexeme Forms no longer automatically redirects you to login, so you can now use edit mode to view the forms of a lexeme in the “right” order. Here is an example.
Finished work on the support for editing statements on Senses on Lexemes via the API (phab:T199896)
Got all feature work done on the first version of the Query Builder. It is now awaiting security review.
Statements linking to deleted Lexemes now indicate this similar to statements linking to deleted Items (phab:T277089)
Fixing a bug with misaligned grammatical features after an OOUI update (phab:T278522)
Finished work on the small tools to get the number of constraints violations and ORES scores for a list of Items. Will publish soon.
Did interviews with a few people about how they work around lexicographical data
Selected focus languages for continued work on lexicographical data and Abstract Wikipedia together with Abstract Wikipedia team. The selected ones are Hausa, Igbo, Bengali, Malayalam and Dagbani. You can read more about it in the Abstract Wikipedia newsletter.
Gave input to WMF search platform team for a survey draft around the query service in order to better understand how to move forward with improvements
If you are looking for "reliable source" material for women's biographies, Our Women, Our State was published by the Queensland Government for Q150 in 2009. The website has disappeared but it appears to be accessible via the Internet Archive. I note that, while there are relatively few women listed in the early decades, there are a lot in the later decades and you must click on the "Show More" button at the bottom of the photo gallery (left of screen) a number of times to get to all of the women. Thought your group might be interested. Kerry (talk) 06:35, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, I have moved your article Louise Burrows to draft space as there currently isn't enough sourcing in the article to pass WP:GNG and because it fails WP:NRU rugby guidelines (hasn't represented a national side in the semi-finals of a World Cup or above). If you can find more sourcing to show it passes GNG then feel free to move it back. Many thanks. Rugbyfan22 (talk) 09:30, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
DYK for Jan Fullerton
On 26 April 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jan Fullerton, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that in 1999 Jan Fullerton became the first woman to be appointed Director General of the National Library of Australia? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jan Fullerton. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jan Fullerton), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

WMDE built two tools to help editors get a better understanding of the quality of Wikidata's data in a specific area of interest. Try them out and let us know what you think.
Collaborative translation of Cita is now available on translatewiki.net. Cita is a Wikidata addon that adds citations metadata support to Zotero, using cites work (P2860) information from Wikidata, and enabling users to easily contribute missing data. Cita is currently under development with a WikiCite grant from the Wikimedia Foundation, and presentation workshops will be held on May 27th (Spanish) and May 31st (English). More info and pre-registration here.
RaiseWikibase is a tool for speeding up multilingual knowledge graph construction with Wikibase. Among other features, it can be utilized to create a mini Wikibase instance with Wikidata properties in a few minutes.
wbeditentity now supports editing statements on Senses (phab:T199896)
We added syntax highlighting for viewing Entity Schema pages. There is not syntax highlighting for editing of Entity Schemas yet. (phab:T238831)
Improved the way Lua deals with redirects (phab:T238831)
Worked on making it possible to add a title to the top of a query visualization via a comment in the SPARQL code (phab:T225883)
Discussed how to get persistent storage of constraint violations unstuck as this is a prerequisite to making it easier to analyze and query constraint violations (phab:T214362)
Discussed a high-level plan for how to move forward with checking Wikidata's data against 3rd-party databases
Finished work on version 1 of the Query Builder. Not it is awaiting security review before we can deploy it.
Take a list of cities in your country, add {{Item documentation}} in the talk page and have fun looking at people born in this place ordered by number of sitelinks. You may have some surprises!
A sad event, resulting in the death (or killing) of ten people. He is compared to John Gilbert, who I'm interested in, and oddly met a similar fate. Cheers for pitching in, ~ cygnis insignis22:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you, Oronsay
... for welcoming me to Wikipedia! Looks like we have similar interests - more info about women in wikipedia. My article is only a draft so far - can I link it to the German article abyway? !'m asking because I don't see "edit" below the languages section
Sunny greetings from Berlin, Tea0602
Tea0602 (talk) 06:45, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
@Tea0602: Greetings from sunny Sydney, Australia. Good to hear from you. When the Draft:Lena Braun has been reviewed and accepted it will be linked to Wikidata, which holds structured data for all the Wiki projects. At that point, German will appear under Languages in the side menu of the Lena Braun article. I have added a link on the draft's Talk page to the Women in Red project. It's a very active community and a great place to get help. Check it out and consider joining. In the meantime, a word or two on your User page would make it turn from red to blue! --Oronsay (talk) 07:05, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
