Belgium might also be the most active country in regards of Govdirectory on #Wikidata right now so it's a great place to start if you want to have someone to collaborate with. Check it out on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Govdirectory/Belgium

There is of course much more to be done here, and if you want to help, checkout the project page on #Wikidata at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Govdirectory/Peru

#1Jour1Requête #SPARQL #Wikidata #cimetière #Nancy

En voyant la vaste étendue des cimetières de l'agglomération nancéienne sur la carte, je me suis demandé si on pouvait avoir les noms de celles et ceux qui sont nés ou sont morts à Nancy, et dont le lieu de sépulture (si connu), se situe en Meurthe-et-Moselle.

La requête : https://w.wiki/7SH2

Résultat : le lieu de sépulture n'est renseigné que pour 40 personnes sur 1230. Y a du taf !

Oh, Google. Did you stay out too late last night? #Wikidata #Wikimedia #Wikipedia

I'm working on adding labels from the #VintageFashionGuild to :wikidata: #Wikidata. Lots of research - obituaries, company records, retail #fashion stores from the 1940s through 1960s. It's slow going but fun.

@atomicpoet And we have about 50'000 video games on #Wikidata. I think about 20k of them are Steam games... There's still a lot to be done...

Did you see us at #Wikimania and have questions? Or are you just curious anyway? Whatever the reason, in one hour you can join us in one hour in our weekly collab hour.

#civictech #wikidata #SDG16

Some of my #toolforge projects for #wikidata and #wikipedia (Mix'n'match, baGLAMa2) use #RustLang with a permanently running background process, which heavily uses multithreaded async.

There is an issue across these (pretty independent) codebases that the process runs fine for hours, then pauses, without explanation. Mutex locks, reqwest timeouts, all checked. Very difficult to debug.

Any ideas what it could be, or how to debug it?

(I'm not really taking part in #wmhack but am hacking and am at #Wikimania.)

I've got #OpenStreetMap and #Wikidata sort of displaying okay and more importantly caching lots to hopefully not run too many Overpass or WDQS queries.

Mass paths, Police and Swedish grill places: here is what happened around #Wikidata over the past week! https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Status_updates/2023_08_14

I'm giving up on trying to get ready for #Wikimania and declaring it that point in the day where work code is put aside, and hobby code is brought out. Going to see what it takes to make a query of #OpenStreetMap for #Wikidata features, and then query all those features' entity data from Wikidata — feels like the sort of thing that isn't likely to make a smooth map-navigating experience, because of the speed of the queries. #beerOClock

Why does the URL Shortener (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UrlShortener) have a limit of 2000 characters?
There are multiple queries that are longer than that...
