Queries

Hey @Shanze1: is there any particular reason, you are send thanks often? Timbaaa (talk) 04:14, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Timbaaa: Just to show appreciation (usually when I see you've already updated something I wanted to). It is commonly made to thank useful edits in WP. WP:THANKS Shanze1 (talk) 04:18, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Shanze1: Is there a way to draw vertical and horizontal lines(Not the grids) parallel to axes in Wikipedia? If yeah, we can use that to mark beginning of lockdown and other similar events in chart.Timbaaa (talk) 16:25, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think there is none. Check its documentation here. It sounds good. Maybe we can just use text to describe it like Karnataka article does or think of other ways. Shanze1 (talk) 16:32, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1: You say about stacked area chart? IMO, It will be hard to interpret. Timbaaa (talk) 01:38, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Timbaaa: I didn't notice the last message earlier. No I didn't mean stacked area chart. I meant the Key Dates section above this chart. But it looks fine as it is as there is the timeline sidebar now.

BTW, Thanks for the adding the new Tests per day chart. I know how much effort it takes. (I was about to suggest switching it from line to bar format, but you did that already) - Shanze1 (talk) 04:28, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1: We can make similar timeline for India page too.Timbaaa (talk) 07:51, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Timbaaa: I think that's a good idea. But, are you thinking about a adding it next to the Timeline section with every notable event till date? That would be kinda long though. However, I think it should be okay if such timeline is kept in the Timeline of the 2020 coronavirus pandemic in India. Shanze1 (talk) 08:15, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Shanze1: Yes, It should be in the timeline page. If it is main page it will be messy. I'll open a discussion about this in its talk page.Timbaaa (talk) 08:58, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Shanze1 (talk) 09:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you've updated the Tamil Nadu District Wise Case Table. But it seems linked to some WikiData,
Can you explain how to update that ?
I've recently been updating the Stats section there. Of course I've been updating anonymously.
So It would be nice to put up some instruction on the talk page.
Thanks. - 219.91.177.43 (talk) 16:24, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Susampal has copied my article Andhra pradesh coronavirus pandemic Vala keep (talk) 13:20, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vala keep, The article was moved from 2020 Coronavirus pandemic in Andhra pradesh to 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Andhra Pradesh in order to keep the article title consistent with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization). A redirect has been setup from the previous page to the new page. This has been explained in the edit summary of revision 954050805 too. -- Susam Pal (talk) 08:37, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

COVID-19 Tamil Nadu districts data

Hi Nizil_Shah, I noticed you linked wikidata to the Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/India/Gujarat medical cases and also you edit in wikidata. I'm trying link wikidata to the Template:2019–20 coronavirus pandemic data/India/Tamil Nadu medical cases by district. My trial can be found at User:Timbaaa/sandbox/3. There seems to be some data claims missing at the 'number of deaths' property (Property:P1120) for many districts. Should I wait for data to be added by someone in Task Force, or I edit in wikidata and continue. I have little to no edits or experience in wikidata. Timbaaa (talk) 06:33, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all Gujarat charts and maps. I handle updating COVID-19 Gujarat data on Wikidata. Other editors are handling other states' data. You can see Wikidata:Wikidata:WikiProject_India/COVID-19_task_force where all things happening. This Google Sheet keeps eye on updation. Gnoeee handles Tamil Nadu data and death data is as of 29 April 2020. So he will probably update it soon. Wikidata editing is quite easy if you want to learn. Gnoeee can answer query about its updation schedule. Regards, -Nizil (talk) 07:45, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Nizil Shah:I shall wait for him to update. Also, I think it's better to confirm with him before I try to make any edits in wikidata. Timbaaa (talk) 10:20, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Timbaaa:, Thank you for starting working on creating table from Wikidata. I was updating the TN items from some couple of days along with some other states too. The TN state data is upto data as you see in the Infobox of the article. But the recovery cases of district wise data has only started to publish in the bulletin from last 2-3 days only. The data upto 29th has been updated and currently working on updating 30th data from bulletin. I have missed the data of death cases of districts and couldn't get time work on that. It will be really helpful if you can help us to complete the data. We are happy if you could join the project and start contributing to. Regards -❙❚❚❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 11:56, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gnoeee: I'll start adding data to TN. For state data, bulletins are used as reference. For districts, you mentioned 'District Wise recoveries and deaths are not available in bulletins. Searching for other sources' on the google sheet above, can we use official dashboard as the reference for it? District wise data is available in it(can be viewed by selecting district name). I'll add my name in the task-force, once I get hang of editing in wikidata and linking from wikidata.-

Timbaa -> ping me 15:01, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Timbaaa: From last 28th onwards they are publishing district wise recovery data in bulletin. So now we can use that data and add that as reference. Ya Of course, you can add the details from the official dashboard of TN govt that are missing in the bulletin.-❙❚❚❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 16:50, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gnoeee:Okay, lemme try adding May 1's data. After that I'll ping you.- Timbaa -> ping me 17:03, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Gnoeee, I tried adding data using quick statements. I found two problems.

Adding references(figured how to correct it, there was error in syntax)
If I add with same value for any statements, it doesn't changes the value but the other params in statement changes. (So, I should add only the data that is changed in the day, correct?)

Also, I reverted back my edits.- Timbaa -> ping me 03:04, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Found one more problem, the tool does like symbols(_,#,etc.,) in the strings. P854(reference URLS) take URL as reference. But, the TN dashboard URL has '#' in it. So, tool breaks. Do you know any work around for this? -

Timbaa -> ping me 07:58, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Timbaaa: Thank you for starting working on it. Yes, add the data which are changing.. Other wise in QS it will keep on adding the claims in the same Value created before. Can you check adding once more the URL with double quotation marks. In my knowledge it will work.-❙❚❚❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 10:49, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Gnoeee: Nope, still doesn't work. Also, it is mentioned as caution here Wikidata:Help:QuickStatements#Add simple statement under strings. -

Timbaa -> ping me 13:02, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've updated districts total and recov numbers for May 1. Dead is still remaining, which has ref addition problem. And once you create new bulletin item, I can add the data using that reference. -

Timbaa -> ping me 14:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Timbaaa: Please look to this QS batch. It is possible to add the dashboard link by QS and I have added it for Chennai district death case. From the last bulletin they ave started to add the death case by district. But old data of death case by district is not available in the bulletin. In the dashboard also the date wise data is not available. So need to get some other reliable sources to add as reference for the claims to district wise items. Ya, I will help you by creating the bulletin item for TN each day.-❙❚❚❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚❙❙ ✉ 19:54, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. -
