Wikimedia Stories Project
My name is Victor Grigas and I'm a Storyteller at the Wikimedia Foundation. We're exploring new ways to explain why Wikipedia is so special and we’ve started a Wikipedia Stories Project, where we’re chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community, especially editors and active contributors in the movement like you. I'll be traveling to Wikimania next month to collect stories for our 2011 Fundraiser. While there I'd love the chance to meet with you and hear your thoughts about Wikipedia. We’ll have a schedule of available times for you to sign up if you’re interested, but right now, we’d like to make the initial contact to gauge your interest. Please let me know by emailing me at vgrigas@wikimedia.org or responding on my talk page.

thank you,

WikiProject India Tag & Assess 2012 Contest
Hello friends, we are a number of editors from WikiProject India have got together to assess the many thousands of articles under the stewardship of the project, and we'd love to have you, a fellow member, join us. These articles require assessment, that is, the addition of a WikiProject template to the talk page of an article, assessing it for quality and importance and adding a few extra parameters to it.

As of March 11, 2012, 07:00 UTC, WikiProject India has 95,998 articles under its stewardship. Of these 13,980 articles are completely unassessed (both for class and importance) and another 42,415 articles are unassessed for importance only. Accordingly, a Tag & Assess 2012 drive-cum-contest has begun from March 01, 2012 to last till May 31, 2012.

If you are new to assessment, you can learn the minimum about how to evaluate from Part One of the Assessment Guide. Part Two of the Guide will help you learn to employ the full functionality of the talk page template, should you choose to do so.

You can sign up on the Tag & Assess page. There are a number of awards to be given in recognition of your efforts. Come & join us to take part in this exciting new venture. You'll learn more about India in this way.

& (Drive coordinators)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maheshwari, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Birla and Kundali (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for December 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pazhassi Raja Archaeological Museum, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages British and French (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * We have a time scheduled when Wikidata will be read-only for a database migration. The window for that is Feb 20 19:00 to Feb 21 2:00 UTC.
 * New features and bugfixes on Wikidata are planned to be deployed on Monday (Feb 18). This should among other things include:
 * Showing useful diffs for edits of claims (they’re currently empty)
 * Automatic comments for editing of claims (there are currently none)
 * Ability to add items to claims by their ID
 * Better handling of deleted properties
 * More results in the entity selector (that’s the thing that lets you select properties, items and so on) so you can add everything and not just the first few matches that are shown
 * We’re still working on the issue that sometimes editing of certain parts of items or properties isn’t possible. If you’re running into it try to reload the page and/or change the URL to the www. version or the non-www. version respectively.
 * Deployment on all other Wikipedias is currently planned for March 6 (a note to the Village Pumps of all affected projects will follow soon)

Disambiguation link notification for March 2
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of tourist attractions in Bangalore, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Corps of Engineers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

 * Development
 * Rolled out new code on wikidata.org. The new stuff you probably care about is:
 * Improved references. They can now have multiple lines. This should make references much more useful. You can now have one reference with for example values for each of the properties "book", "author", "page" to describe one source.
 * Fixed the prev/next links in diff view (45821)
 * d:Special:EntitiesWithoutLabel now lets you filter by language and entity type
 * Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: added setting to enable/disable it per wiki and made it available for logged-in users only
 * Widget to add language links on the Wikipedias directly: improved layout / size
 * Made it so that the “edit links” link on Wikipedia is also shown when the corresponding item only has a link to this one language and no other languages
 * Submitted improved Apache config patch to make wikidata.org always redirect to www.wikidata.org, which is awaiting code review and deployment.
 * Improved the script that is responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias
 * Added a few ways to better debug the script responsible for taking Wikidata changes to the Wikipedias. This should help with investigating why some changes take way to long to show up on the Wikipedias.
 * Started work on automatically adding edited items to the user’s watchlist (according to preferences)
 * Finished script for rebuilding search keys, so we can finally get case insensitive matches in a lot of places
 * Support for multi-line references in diff view
 * Selenium tests for inclusion syntax
 * Improved parser function (that will be used to access Wikidata data on the Wikipedias) to accept property ID or label
 * Increased isolation of data model component to increase clarity and visibility of bad dependencies
 * Worked on schema access in the SQLStore (of the query component)
 * Discussions/Press
 * Denny had a look at some data about Wikidata
 * Events
 * 3rd Media Web Symposium 2013
 * Wikidata trifft Archäologie

 * Join us for the Amsterdam and Wikimania hackathon and Wikimania
 * Too many items with the same label and no description? Terminator helps you hunt them all down and clean them up. Also check out the top 1000
 * Interested in the distribution of books by genre on Wikidata and similar things? WikidataStats can help
 * d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot needs input from more people
 * Detailed list of bots
 * Collecting information about creating a bot
 * We’ve crossed Q8000000
 * Did you know?
 * When you edit a statement there is a little wheel in front of the text field. This lets you choose between “custom value”, “unknown value” and “no value”. “No value” means that we know that the given property has no value, e.g. Elizabeth I of England had no spouse. “Unknown value” means that the property has a value, but it is unknown which one -- e.g. Pope Linus most certainly had a year of birth, but it is unknown to us.

Wikidata weekly summary #51
<div style="margin-top:10px; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
 * Development
 * The first 11 Wikipedias can now include data from Wikidata in their articles (If you want to see it in action see the infobox at it:Torino)
 * Worked on automatic summaries for statements
 * Worked on making properties accessible from the client using their label so you can use instead of  for example
 * Made qualifiers ready for the next deployment (Please test. See details further down.)
 * Selenium tests for qualifiers
 * Fixed some issues related to QUnit testing
 * Worked on improved handling and code design of multiple snak lists in the UI (qualifiers, references)
 * Discussions/Press
 * Denny wrote down how we’re planning to support queries on Wikidata. Feedback welcome.
 * Proposal for a vandalism policy
 * Now that improvements for references have been deployed here’s a discussion on the best way to use them. (You can see an example of how it could be used in the source for “CAS registry number” on Q153)
 * Should Wikidata have featured items?
 * RFC about restricting the ability to create properties to some users
 * Heise.de reporting about deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias
 * Report about a collaboration event between Wikipedians and archeologists
 * Events
 * Newline 2013
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * We’re currently carefully monitoring performance after the deployment of phase 2 on the first 11 Wikipedias. There seem to be a few small issues. As soon as they are resolved we'll deploy on English Wikipedia. All other Wikipedias are planned to follow very soon after that.
 * Bye and a big thank you to Anja, Silke, Jens and John who are leaving the development team at the end of the month and will work on other cool things. You’ll be missed!
 * Ever had any doubt about the possibilities of Wikidata? Talk to Wiri!
 * We worked on reducing the time it takes for Wikidata edits to show up in the Wikipedias and made some progress. Daniel posted an analysis
 * We started running a script on the database in order to make search on Wikidata case-insensitive. This should be finished in a few days and then search should be more useful.
 * In addition to the above we have rolled out a new search box that suggests items. This should also make finding things on Wikidata a lot easier for you.
 * We’re making some progress with Internet Explorer 8 support but there are a lot of issues with it (some outside our control). It’s unclear at the moment how much we can improve it still without spending an unjustified amount of time on it. You can follow the progress at 44228
 * Edits are now auto-confirmed for users with more than 50 edits and account age 4 days: 46461
 * Do you need old-style interwiki links for a sister project for example? This is for you
 * The Wikimedia Foundation applied as a mentoring organisation for Google Summer of Code again. We have proposed some Wikidata projects for students to take up if the Foundation is accepted again. At least 2 other organisations that applied also propose Wikidata ideas. More details on that once we know which organisations are accepted.
 * Denny hacked together a tree of life based on data from Wikidata
 * Wikidata was added to wikipulse
 * A template to retrieve data from Wikidata if no local value is set
 * Did you know?
 * If you need to merge two items d:Help:Merge explains how
 * Open Tasks for You
 * See note at the end of this weekly summary
 * Help test qualifiers (Wikidata/Notes/Data model primer - see also example statements there) on the test wiki so we can roll it out with the next release
 * Did you file a bug report for Wikidata or did someone else do it for you? Please take a minute to check if it is still valid. (Thanks for filing it btw!)
 * Add some missing descriptions to those items with the same label?
 * Hack on one of these

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk) <div style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Read the full report · Unsubscribe · Global message delivery 20:35, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Karur Government Museum
''Hello. Here is the text of that deleted article:''

GOVERNMENT MUSEUM, KARUR

Address:

Curator, Government Museum, Daily Market Complex, Karur Bus Stand, Karur – 639 001.

The Museum was opened to the public in 2000. The specimens include bronze items, metal-ware objects, musical instruments, coins, rocks and minerals, fossils, botanical specimens, molluscan shells, and other marine specimens.

The educational activities of this Museum include Guide service, popular lectures etc.

''It obviously needs a lot of work. There is no Wikipedia categories, no introduction, no sources, no assertion of notability. All of these issues should be resolved before it is posted again into the Wikipedia main space. Regards, Gilliam (talk) 16:37, 31 March 2013 (UTC)''

 * Development
 * Got some external professional review of our code and architecture and started working on their feedback
 * Worked on reducing the dispatch lag (the time it takes for changes on Wikidata to be sent to the Wikipedias for display in watchlist, recent changes and to purge affected pages)
 * Worked on using Redis for job queue to improve the lag situation even further
 * Created new Wikibase Query extension for phase 3 functionality
 * Autocomments & Autosummaries for SetClaim module
 * Worked on the GeoCoordinate parser
 * Events/Press
 * right now: GLAM-WIKI 2013
 * Discussions
 * The RFC about bureaucrats was closed
 * RfC about policy for translation admins
 * We need feedback from contributors working on references addition or having tried to add references to statements. Please comment about your problems or your trials at d:Help:Sources
 * Other Noteworthy Stuff
 * Deployment of phase 2 on the remaining Wikipedias was delayed because of a high lag of changes being propagated to the Wikipedias. The lag has been reduced considerably now and is going down even more. The new date for deployment will not be next week because there are other large changes on Wikimedia infrastructure scheduled that we do not want to interfere with. It will hopefully happen very soon after that though.
 * Next code update on wikidata.org is planned for Wednesday. This should include qualifiers and bugfixes.
 * There will probably be a short outage/read-only for wikidata.org on Tuesday (database is being switched to MariaDB)
 * If you're a student and interested in coding on Wikidata consider applying for Google Summer of Code.
 * There is a new user right: property creators
 * There is now a page to request deletion of a property
 * We now have Bureaucrats
 * Reasonator was improved and extended (1 2)
 * Open Tasks for You
 * Hack on one of these
 * Help draft the next weekly summary

Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome. <div style="margin-top:10px; font-size:90%; padding-left:5px; font-family:Georgia, Palatino, Palatino Linotype, Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Read the full report · Unsubscribe · Global message delivery 23:24, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of tourist attractions in Coimbatore, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev and Mettupalayam (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Already 565,000 pairs of coordinates are now available on WikiData. Compare this to 870,000 coordinates on English Wikipedia or 1,500,000 items with d:Property:P17 "country", likely to have coordinates. Have a look at them on a map.

 * Development Word from John
 * To give this section some life, since the development team had their holidays last week meaning nothing really got done (let them have one week off at least), I'll say a few words. 2014 is a new year and thus a new start, over the last year Wikidata celebrated its first birthday which brought reflection over what Wikidata had accomplish. Therefore I want to use the start of 2014 to reflect what Wikidata can do. For my personal over view see this page. For the summary, while it is meant to be a weekly simple update, I feel this can be used a lot more effective to put across not only what happened on Wikidata but things about Wikidata on other wikis, I am hoping to start a section over this within the next few weeks. If you have any suggestions for the summary, feel free to drop me a message at meta or Wikidata. Thanks.

My suggestion is that on the page of National Museum, in each of the galleries, we make a sub section for the artefacts and write two to three lines about each artefact. I would want to know what u say. Pls reply on my talk page

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dravidian studies, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Portuguese and Czech (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

 * By hovering over a wikilink you will see the first paragraph.
 * The "personal settings" allow you to import your Babel info from Wikidata. This can be used to restrict the random items you will get.

Regarding review of a new article
Hello Arun Sir,

Hope you are doing good! Want to make a query regarding a new wiki article. The Dogra Art Museum is a museum with a varied collections of great importance of Dogra Culture. How can I make others indulge in the page so as to improve it. And how to get it reviewed? I had placed the India Project and J&K Project tags on the talk page and am still waiting for the page to be reviewd. Thanks ~ A n w a r a j  &lrm; 18:35, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Note from John
 * Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)
