Wikidata weekly summary #491

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • QID ("Initialism of Q-identifier, a unique identifier for an item in Wikidata. [from 2012]") now has an entry in Wiktionary
    • The 3rd edition of the Coolest Tool Award is looking for nominations (see announcement on wikimedia-l). Please submit your favorite tools by October 27th. The awarded projects will be announced and showcased in a virtual ceremony in December.
  • Development
    • The new WDQS Streaming Updater now fully shipped to production. This will help the Query Service better deal with the amount of edits happening on Wikidata. (more information)
    • Mismatch Finder: Continuing work on the results page where mismatches are shown for review. We are focusing on showing all necessary information for a mismatch to make a good determination if it is a mismatch in Wikidata, the external source or neither.
    • Finishing the work on the new change dispatching system that improves how Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects are notified about edits happening on Wikidata that affect them. Currently tying up some lose ends.
    • Preparing for WikidataCon.

Hello. I was wondering if you were interested in making articles on the 2 women missing articles at Jubilee 150 Walkway. I thought of you as you make a lot of articles about Australian women. The redlinks are Gladys Ruth Gibson and Dame Ruby Litchfield. If you are interested, let me know as they're on the Women in Red redlists along with other Australian awards. Thanks! :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:41, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

@MrLinkinPark333: I accept your challenge... as I earlier accepted writing up I think it was seven missing women Companions of the Order of Australia several years ago! They should appear in the next week or so. Thanks for thinking of me.--Oronsay (talk) 21:12, 26 October 2021 (UTC)
@Oronsay: Awesome! Thanks for looking into them. :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:15, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Women in Red at Wikidatacon 2021

See one, do one, teach one
Thank you for being a panelist on the "Improving women’s biographies on Wikipedia using Wikidata tools - Experiences from Women in Red and the Smithsonian Institution" session today at Wikidatacon 2021. Rosiestep (talk) 23:52, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you so much, Rosiestep. It all came together in the end. I'm amazed how many people were unfamiliar with WEF or had stopped using it ages ago because it was buggy. Everyone is saying what a great way our session was to end Day 2.--Oronsay (talk) 00:01, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

Remember the redirects

Hallo, You added Alta Schutte's full name, but didn't make redirects from it: I've just done so while stub-sorting her, and they've resolved a couple of incoming redlinks (both from backstage lists, rather than articles): see Special:WhatLinksHere/Alta_Schutte. Worth remembering to add them, as people sometimes appear in articles using other versions of their names. Thanks. PamD 12:06, 31 October 2021 (UTC)

a barnstar for you!

Women in Red Women in Oceania contest

Yes, I see you were giving a presentation yesterday :) WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:40, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Patmastelotto (00:05, 5 November 2021)

how do I change the photo of me someone posted here --Patmastelotto (talk) 00:05, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Patmastelotto: Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your question. I assume you are the American musician, Pat Mastelotto. To replace a photo in an article, you would need to upload a copyright-free image to Wikimedia Commons first. There is a Category with photos of you on Commons. There are detailed instructions on how to do the upload on that website. When you've done that, you should go Talk:Pat Mastelotto, create a new section and ask that someone replaces the existing image with the one you have uploaded. Otherwise you could come back here and ask me to do it. To edit the article yourself is a conflict of interest and frowned upon on Wikipedia.--Oronsay (talk) 01:26, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Question from Cnotrees (20:22, 15 November 2021)

Hi Oronsay, I have published a draft article "Thermos (Europe)" - is there anything I can do to get it reviewed/accepted, other than be patient? --Cnotrees (talk) 20:22, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

@Cnotrees: I'm afraid I am no longer part of the mentor program. I do see, however, that there are two related articles – Thermos, which redirects to Vacuum flask and an article on the company, Thermos LLC. It may be preferable to add to those.--Oronsay (talk) 22:35, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
