 * Animal hugs:  (source)


 * Development
 * The last week was our quarterly prototyping week. We worked on the following projects. None of them are ready for prime-time yet but we'll continue with them.
 * Slices: We've had a lot of requests for accessing dumps of a smaller part of Wikidata's data since rarely anyone needs the complete data in Wikidata. The tricky part is figuring out which part is needed and if any of that can be generalized. We looked into for example how to make dump generation faster so we could potentially produce more smaller dumps that only cover a part of Wikidata's data, either thematically (e.g. humans) or by type of data (e.g. only statements and English labels and aliases but not sitelinks or descriptions).
 * REST API: As part of our effort to make it easier to access Wikidata's data for programmers we looked into a REST API. We tried to see if we could cover the existing action API modules in a REST API. We could. We'll take this as input for our ongoing API work now.
 * Improving quality ratings through ORES: ORES can judge the quality of an Item automatically. It is currently not very good at it however. We tried a few things to make it more accurate and found some easy wins we'll probably make happen in the next weeks.
 * Query manipulator: One of the ways we could potentially improve the load situation of the Wikidata Query Service is by automatically analyzing and then redirecting a bunch of queries to other systems that are more suitable for that particular type of query. The nice thing about that would be that the person/program sending the query wouldn't have to care about it but it'd be done automagically for them. We tried to build such a system and the results look very promising but more work/experimenting is needed, especially together with the WMF Search team.

Appreciation and question
Thank you very much for improving the reliability of information resources on Wikipedia. I am a young contributor here on Wikipedia, I find it difficult to learn how to submit draft and upload image on Wikipedia page. What advice can you give me? Do you have toturial practical to help me? Sadeeqzaria (talk) 08:40, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Elsa Marshall-Hall.
Dear "Oronsay",

Have you had a look at my comments at Talk:Elsa Marshall-Hall? I am interested in your feedback.

Stay safe, Albert Isaacs (talk) 23:39, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear "Oronsay",

Thank you for your prompt reply, and your advice re using Facebook on Wikipedia - appreciated! I have now replaced the two references with more reliable and direct links. I now look forward to the box at the top of the page being removed.

With appreciation, Albert Isaacs (talk) 02:17, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Dear "Oronsay",

Thank you again for your help, but I'm not sure what else you are suggesting that I do now. Your further help would be appreciated. For your information, I have certainly not had this sort of trouble with any of the other Wikipedia pages that I have started or made major contributions to (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Albert_Isaacs).

Regards, Albert Isaacs (talk) 06:01, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

heritage listing
it is always ok anywhere - even as a separate section at the end of the text - better in that left out... JarrahTree 08:52, 10 August 2020 (UTC)


 * I daresay you are correct, and I could have had my name shown in the article's history as the editor who added that information. I think it's probably the only time I've used a Talk page for that purpose, apart from when giving a new editor I know a few links for them to use to develop the article they're working on. That said, it did not take long for the info to be added to Parkes Observatory, so the end result was achieved. Oronsay (talk) 18:48, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Playmarket edit-a-thon
Thanks for setting aside time to attend the Playmarket edit-a-thon Saturday, 15 August. Since New Zealand was placed back into Level 2/Level 3 status on Wednesday 12 August the social social distancing required means it's not possible for all participants to work at the Playmarket offices. So we are going to do it remotely - which might make it easier for you! I hope you are still able to participate. The new schedule starts with: 11:00 am NZST: Introduction online at Whereby. Participants will choose articles to work on, and be briefed on resources available and communication during the day.

 * Thank you for letting me know. I am sorry to hear the NZ news, but pleased I will be able to attend on the same footing as you all. Hopefully, I will find someone that I feel confident to update. If not, I'll continue to review articles on NZ literary awards or, possibly, theatres and update where I can. Oronsay (talk) 05:42, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
