- Other Noteworthy Stuff
- Wikidata:Wwwyzzerdd got an update where it now will try to predict good statements to add to Wikidata from Wikipedia articles.
- Writing SPARQL queries can be very challenging. You can find inspiration by browsing and searching in this dataset of 2,400 queries collected from Wikidata. (source)
- The French Wikipedia now uses a Wikidata-based list for the pages on specific dates, without relying on ListeriaBot. Who was born on a December 19th and has an article in French? You now can have the answer thanks to a Wikidata query by going to the page 1er décembre on frwiki and clicking on the infobox link "Naissances du jour". This is a link to a Wikidata list provided by the query service. The query is generated by the template fr:Modèle:Naissances un jour du mois. This follows another such template used to find all persons with a certain surname on frwiki, used on all surnames pages and on some disambiguation pages, fr:Modèle:Liste des personnes ou_personnages par prénom. For the surname Victor (Q539581) (view with Reasonator, SQID) this generates on the page w:fr:Victor_(prénom) a query such as this one.
- Wikidata now has more than 100,000,000 items! Exactly which item was the 100 millionth is unknown as of writing, but there are some clues for anyone who wants to dig into it.
- Survey: What are your most important Wikimedia content partnerships tools in 2022? Closes on January 8, 2023.

Segítség kérése
Szervusz!
A Huszár László népi fafaragó lappal kapcsolatban írtál nekem. Szeretném a segítséged kérni, hogy Laci bácsi barátom szerepelhessen a Wikipédián. Nem látom át többszöri nekifutásra sem a szerkesztői felületet. Azzal kapcsolatban sem tudok eligazodni, amit írtál pedig szívesen javítanám. Forrást hova gondolod, hogy be tudnék illeszteni és hogyan? Képeket hogyan tudok feltölteni? Saját készítésű képeimet sem engedte feltölteni a rendszer...
Köszönöm szépen a segítséged!
Üdvözlettel:

Szia Bennó! Elnézést, hogy ismételten zaklatlak átírással, de nem szeretem úgy hagyni a neveket, ahogy vannak. Tudnál segíteni? Ez most nem wikire kell, hanem újságcikkhez lesz. Ha esetleg nem látod ma, nem gond, majd utólag javítom a neveket a cikkben, csak tudod... legyenek meg normálisan, ahogy kell.

Köszönöm előre is. Xia Üzenő 2023. január 4., 13:51 (CET)

Wikidata weekly summary #557
- Events
- A citation hunt program was organized for secondary school students at IIS School in Dubai as part of the 74th Republic Day celebration of India. 16 students participated, with different mother tongues and from different states of India living as expatriates in Dubai. The goal was to increase references for Wikidata statements based on research. The students were introduced to the importance of protecting India's history on the internet, and were taught how to edit Wikipedia and Wikidata. They were given a special event page on Wikidata with instructions and a list of Wikidata items to add citations to, and they searched for references in their textbooks and search engines to add to the Wikidata items.More details are given here.
- Next Linked Data for Libraries LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Working Hour January 30, 2023: The #1Lib1Ref campaign is afoot, so we will be working on adding references to Wikidata statements. We'll have some data for you to work with, but you're welcome to bring your own. We'll be mainly working with adding webpages as sources, but if you want to get experience using books or articles as sources, we recommend bringing some to the session to use as references for Wikidata items you have identified. You are, as always, welcome to bring your own project to work on Event page
