Wikidata weekly summary #427

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Discussions
    • Open request for adminship: Wiki13
  • Tool of the week
    • SQID allows you to analyse, browse and query Wikidata. SQID is inspired by Magnus Manske's Reasonator, but focuses on prominently featuring information about Wikidata classes and properties.
  • 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.

You can see all open tickets related to Wikidata here. If you want to help, you can also have a look at the tasks needing a volunteer.

Week 4 / Add citation / Aaronlai23

Week 3 / Add citation / Aaronlai23

1. I added a citation to the EPS( earning per share) and Price-earnings ratio.

2. Link to diff1: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Earnings_per_share&type=revision&diff=970648671&oldid=969603527

Link to diff2: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Price%E2%80%93earnings_ratio&type=revision&diff=970649634&oldid=966889475

3. I learnt how to identify the section you want to add on wiki and find the right resource from an outside website to add. Aaronlai23 (talk) 16:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Aaronlai23, Please assign yourself this article in the Wiki Edu Dashboard and then ping me here. I will then take a look at it and reply. FULBERT (talk) 15:18, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
I just assign on wiki edu dashboard. Aaronlai23 (talk) 12:19, 3 August 2020 (UTC) FULBERT
Aaronlai23, Please do not remove articles previously assigned. Re-assign yourself the one you removed and ping me again and I will review this here. FULBERT (talk) 19:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
now I have three articles on wiki edu dashboard.FULBERTAaronlai23 (talk) 22:39, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
Aaronlai23, Make sure to include edit summaries when you make edits on articles, though both of yours were fine additions otherwise. Current. FULBERT (talk) 14:39, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 1 / Introduce myself / YueWu0928

This is Yue Wu. I'm currently enrolling in MASY program, and concentrating on database tech.

I did learn a lot from this extra credit work, such as what the reliable resource is and some types of plararism... Also, I know how to edit Wikipedia page right now.

YueWu0928 (talk) 03:29, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Welcome to Wikipedia; I hope you find it an interesting and exciting way to share knowledge. FULBERT (talk) 14:41, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 2 / Evaluate an article / YueWu0928

1. I found that some articles are very poor-evident and out of date as well. In addition, it may miss some important information. When I was evaluating an article, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qingdao, the information was about 2018, which is 2 years from now, and things need to be updated.

2. Evaluation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:YueWu0928/Evaluate_an_Article

3. Talk page :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Qingdao#Updates_about_Qingdao

4. The difference : https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qingdao&diff=971272823&oldid=970059566

5. I learned that a good and reliable article is not just high-related to the topic, but also have to be comprehensive and updated. Important part (such as the identification of the city)should not be missed.

YueWu0928 (talk) 03:42, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Good enough for your first edits! Current. FULBERT (talk) 14:43, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 4 / Add two more citations / YueWu0928

1. I assigned myself two more articles: (1) Search engine engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine_marketing 

                                       (2) Vaccine policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccination_policy

Also. I expanded a bit content about these two articles and added citations to the added part.

2. The difference links :(1)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Search_engine_marketing&diff=971286294&oldid=969056342 

                        (2)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vaccination_policy&diff=971285132&oldid=967067826

3. I learned some content of the articles are related, but it may not be comprehensive. When we are adding citations, we can not just copy and paste the content from the reference literature. Even we have to paraphrase some sentences, we can't paraphrase them closely to the original ones.

YueWu0928 (talk) 05:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Nice learning you shared and good edits on both these. This week is current. FULBERT (talk) 14:46, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 3 / Add citation / Yaluys

Hi professor, thank you for your feedback. I re-assigned myself another article for the week3 assignment 1. I added a citation to the Group polarization article.

2. Link to diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Group_polarization&diff=971301341&oldid=944512526

3. So I add information that related to the real-life examples of Group polarization - the YouTube.

Yaluys (talk) 08:17, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Yaluys, Interesting add and interesting source you found to help improve this article. Current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 14:48, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 3 / Add citation / Yilei Yu

1. I added a citation and a comment to the LINK.

2. LINK

3. I learned how to do citations in Wikipedia and how important it is. With citation, people will have more context where the information is from, and how they came out of the sentence.

Yyl217 (talk) 01:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Yyl217, Fix the above 2 and be sure to sign your posts when finished. Ping me here again when done and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 01:35, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback. I have now completed all the training.Yyl217 (talk) 03:35, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Yyl217, Assign yourself the article to edit and ping me here and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 22:37, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

@FULBERT: Here is a ping.Yyl217 (talk) 03:39, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

@FULBERT: I am now fixed the problem you talked about. Hope the new version will fit the requirement.Yyl217 (talk) 01:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Yyl217, OK, you have assigned the article. However, beyond adding a citation alone, make sure to provide a sentence or two to express your contribution in context (which the citation will support) to demonstrate how it adds to the knowledge in the article. Citations alone do not add value. Please add a sentence or two to explain what the citation adds and the ping me again here when done. FULBERT (talk) 19:44, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

@FULBERT:LINKHere is the link where I added a further summary to summarize the difference between classical Newtonian physics and special relativity. Yyl217 (talk) 05:16, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Yyl217, Your citation was removed by another editor as it was not a reliable source; it was a pdf somebody privately uploaded. Can you find a reliable source (such as to a journal article) for this and add it back? Ping me here when done and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 15:21, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

@FULBERT: I changed my article to honda. Here is a ping. Thank you. Yyl217 (talk) 08:49, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Yyl217, Good overall now. You are current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 14:50, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 4/ Adding a citation to 2 articles/ Ikhan94

1. In the article on Methylchloroisothiazolinone, I looked on the FDA website to verify the correct acceptable concentration in products and cited it on the wiki page as well as included the ratio of isomers. On the wiki page, I found a concentration amount that did not have a source and when I reserved it, I only found a magazine article with the same number, but did not have a source. This did not seem like a reliable source of information, so I had removed it. For the deforestation article, I added a citation where it was needed by looking for information in a scholarly journal that backed up a claim.

2. Methylchloroisothiazolinone: Difference between revisions, Deforestation: Difference between revisions

3. I've learned that some information, even though there may be a citation, may not have come from a reliable source, regardless of how true it may sound. I've also found some tools on Wikipedia to find articles that need help, like the Citation Hunt tool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ikhan94 (talk • contribs) 06:44, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Ikhan94 (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

Ikhan94, This one is fine, though can you asign yourself a second article and assign yourself a citation to that one as well? This week's assignment called for two this week. Ping me here when done. FULBERT (talk) 21:20, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
FULBERT, Hi professor and thank you for your note! I did include two articles with added citations: Methylchloroisothiazolinone and deforestation. Please let me know if anything else is needed. Ikhan94 (talk) 17:47, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
Ikhan94, Fine now. Current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 23:57, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 4/ Add Citations/ Yaluys

1. This week, I worked on a new articles: Lo-fi music. I added a citation to add the development of lo-fi music in the late 2010s, specified within the realm of Spotify.

2. The link to the diff1: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lo-fi_music&diff=970912918&oldid=970316244

3. It's interesting to find out a very popular topic ("lo-fi music") doesn't have enough updated information on Wikipedia and it's necessary to put all relevant details in the article to give a more broad view for readers. Yaluys (talk) 03:34, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Yaluys, This week involved assigning yourself two articles and adding a citation to each. Please add the other one and ping me here and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 19:32, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

4. The link to another diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Chunyun&diff=969725539&oldid=937659095

5. I added a new citation to the "Chunyun" article because I found there is a recent study about this topic that can add value to this topic. Yaluys (talk) 06:12, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Yaluys, Fine on both of them. Current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 13:44, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 4/ 2 more citations/ YueWu0928

1. I assigned two new articles to myself: (1)Employment discrimination (2)Occupational inequality. Also, I added references to these two articles.

2. the difference link: (1)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Employment_discrimination&diff=970914887&oldid=963612071 

                        (2)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Occupational_inequality&diff=970916052&oldid=955496175

3. I found when we define a term, we should make it clears and reliable. Adding a true reference and defining a term clearly are important.

YueWu0928 (talk) 04:00, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Per the initial instructions and as discussed, weeks may not be skipped and late assignments will not be accepted after Week 3 (July 26). FULBERT (talk) 19:23, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
YueWu0928, OK; reviewed them after all. Current as of this week. FULBERT (talk) 13:45, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

week 4/ New citations/Lewis9763

Gave a brief idea of how go karts transmission is about , how it works and the purpose of it

diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kart_racing&diff=prev&oldid=971127518

the citation was made through an article named Design of Transmission System for Go-Kart Vehicle

Lewis9763 (talk) 10:02, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Lewis9763, Per the instructions, please assign yourself two new articles and add a new citation to each. Then ping me back here when finished and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 19:19, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

assigned myself a new topic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Massachusetts New citation was made. diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=COVID-19_pandemic_in_Massachusetts&oldid=971799934

Searched for new guidelines for the effects of the Sports and recreations.

Lewis9763 (talk) 09:06, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Lewis9763, OK for this week. Current. FULBERT (talk) 13:47, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 3/ add a citation / YueWU0928

1. I added a new citation to the article:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_equality. It talks about gender inequality, and I added a part that gender wage gap is a phenomenon of gender inequality. The cited article is "Do you get what you ask? The gender gap in desired and realised wages".

2. The difference link :https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gender_equality&diff=971279457&oldid=962233603

3. I learned how to add a citation to a Wikipedia article. When we are reading ,we should be critical. We should think about where this part comes from? Is this reliable ? Adding a good citation is really helpful.

YueWu0928 (talk) 04:05, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Please assign yourself this article in the Wiki Edu Dashboard and then ping me here. I will then take a look at it and reply. FULBERT (talk) 14:44, 6 August 2020 (UTC)
FULBERT, I just assigned this article to myself. Please take a look, Thank you! YueWu0928 (talk) 19:22, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
YueWu0928, OK, you are now current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 13:48, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 5/ Add 2 Citations/ Yixin97

1. This week, I assigned two new articles: Telemarketing fraud and High–low pricing. I added a citation to explain why older people are targeted by fraudulent telemarketers and another citation to explain why high-low strategy is effective to customers.

2. The link to the diff1: Telemarketing fraud: Difference between revisions

The link to the diff2: High–low pricing: Difference between revisions

3. From this practice, I have learned articles need enough explanations for readers to understand.Yixin97 (talk) 03:11, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Yixin97, Fine on both. You are current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 13:57, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 6/ Add an image/ Yixin97

1. I added an image about Suzhou Museum into the article Suzhou. Suzhou Museum, designed by I. M. Pei, is one of the landmarks of Suzhou. The architectural style of Suzhou Museum is very distinctive so I think it is necessary to show this image to readers. This image with a CC BY 2.0 license was found from CC search.

2. The link to diff: Suzhou: Difference between revisions

3. From this practice, I learned what kind of image that we can use in Wikipedia and how to insert the image into articles. Yixin97 (talk) 04:17, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Yixin97, Nice add, though sometimes inserting images can be tricky depending on how the copyright is listed and linked. Current for this week. FULBERT (talk) 14:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 5/ Add 2 Citations/ Yaluys

1. I added citations on articles "Algorithmic bias" and "Lo-fi music" this week. I found a news comment article talking about the algorithm discrimination against women of Spotify, which I think can serve as a great example of "Algorithmic bias" on gender. I also found a study discussing the development of "Lo-fi music" in the late 2010s.

2. link to the diff1: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Algorithmic_bias&diff=971612223&oldid=969033931 

  link to the diff2: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lo-fi_music&diff=971439711&oldid=970912918

3. I find it important to have more diverse examples to illustrate one point of view to offer readers a better explanation. Yaluys (talk) 06:20, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Yaluys, Please assign yourself the article(s) in the Wiki Edu Dashboard and then ping me here. I will then take a look at it and reply. FULBERT (talk) 13:53, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi professor, I assigned these two articles in the dashboard. Please take a look. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yaluys (talk • contribs) 16:29, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Yaluys, Please be sure to sign your comments here. These are now both current for this week. --- FULBERT (talk) 17:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 6 / Add two more ciations / YueWu0928

1. I assigned myself two more articles : (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_advertising (2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_pot

Added other perspectives to the first one and gave an example to the second one.

2. (1)The first difference link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Targeted_advertising&diff=971885460&oldid=971193232 (2)The second diffi link: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hot_pot&diff=971888620&oldid=969519358

3. I learned sometimes we could provide an true example to the opinion, which will strengthen the original point. Also, when we are talking about the effect of advertising (for example), we can think about it in an opposite way : if someone uses ad avoidance tools, the results would be much different.

YueWu0928 (talk) 21:45, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Please edit the source of your post here to fix the formatting so your reply will be in regular text without skipped spaces or paragraphs, something that makes this difficult and inconsistent to read. Ping me here when done and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 13:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
FULBERT,I already edited the source and the format is currently regular. Please review, thank you! YueWu0928 (talk) 16:58, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
YueWu0928, This is now fine. Current with this week. FULBERT (talk) 17:02, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Week 5 / Add two more citations / YueWu0928

1. This week I assigned two new articles to myself: (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_science (2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_analyst I added more details to the two new articles.

2. The difference link: (1)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Data_science&diff=971874010&oldid=970358361 (2)https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Business_analyst&diff=971878502&oldid=959689125

3. I learned if we post some conclusions about survey results, we have to add a strong and reliable citation, such as which literature you reviewed that drives you to conclude that results.

YueWu0928 (talk) 20:29, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

YueWu0928, Please edit the source of your post here to fix the formatting so your reply will be in regular text without skipped spaces or paragraphs, something that makes this difficult and inconsistent to read. Ping me here when done and I will review. FULBERT (talk) 13:55, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
FULBERT,I just edited it and fixed the format. Please take a look, thank you. YueWu0928 (talk) 17:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
YueWu0928, Nice adds to both. Current. FULBERT (talk) 17:03, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Bonus / Reflective Essay / YueWu0928

1. Question: What are some reasons you might not want to use a company's website as the main source of information about that company? Respond: Because the information on the website of the company is just published by the company itself, and there is no review and verification by any authorized party. In addition, the company definitely would like to report something good and positive for the sake of their reputation and profit, which is not comprehensive and trustworthy.

2. For me, the experience of doing this assignment is like: at first, I thought it's maybe difficult because I saw a lot of training guides, which seemed to be complicated. However, after you started it and focused on it, you'd find it's not hard as you thought before and you'll learn a lot. Also, when I was doing this extra credit work , I could relate this assignment to our other assignment, such as plagiarism, citation, and finding reliable resource, etc.

3. I learned how to recognize reliable and unreliable resources. Reliable resources includes: textbooks, literature review, and books or publications written by authorized party. Also, I learned three types of plagiarism. I used to paraphrase someone's opinion closely to avoid plagiarism, but when I saw the training guide, I just noticed paraphrasing closely to the original one is still a form of plagiarism. In addition, I know when we are adding some contents on Wikipedia, we are not only supposed to add reliable citation, but also avoid copyright violation and plagiarism, which means we'd better totally understand the cited content and paraphrase them with our own words.

4. I would intend to continue editing on Wikipedia. Because once I find some articles are out of date or incorrect, I would like to update them and add correct contents. Especially, when I find some articles I'm really interested in, and they have some fault contents. YueWu0928 (talk) 18:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Bonus/ Reflective Essay/ Yixin97

1. What did you learn about Wikipedia during the article evaluation?

Wikipedia is open to all and can be edited by everyone so some grammatical and spelling errors are inevitable. Writing a good article in the wiki is not easy as I think before. All the information on articles should be from a reliable secondary source. When writing an article, we must remember not to have our own subjective thoughts.

Summarizing my contributions: During these six weeks, I copyedited and evaluated Shanghai Disneyland Park, added 9 citations into 5 articles: Commercialization of the Internet, Information leakage, White hat (computer security), Telemarketing fraud and High–low pricing. In addition, I inserted an image into Suzhou.

2. Before this Wikipedia course assignment, I always use Wikipedia to find information and never thought I could edit Wikipedia. In the beginning, I was afraid to do this extra credit because editing Wikipedia looks complicated. However, after this Wikipedia assignment, I think it is a good opportunity to think from different angles.

3. During these six weeks, I have learned how to add citations and images into articles. I also understand the importance of picture license and know what kind of images can be used in Wikipedia. In addition, I have learned how to avoid plagiarism and it is useful for my research proposal.

4. I think I will continue editing on Wikipedia because it is meaningful and a very fulfilling thing. Once I search in the Wiki, I will revise the article and find mistakes to improve it. I hope my contribution can be beneficial to more readers. Yixin97 (talk) 02:15, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

Reflective Essay

1. Question: What are some reasons you might not want to use a company's website as the main source of information about that company?

The first reason is that company website information has bias which is subjective. because company want to make positive impact on their readers and hide something negative. The second reason is that if we wan to find information of a company, we want acquire as much as information as possible instead of focus on one aspect.

2. I actually learned a lot during the process of training course. I know about what source are credible and how to edit citation on wikipedia. I also think this training program provide us a very systematic overivew of wikipedia.

3. One important thing I learnt is importance issue of copyrights and plagiarism. There are three types that are unattributed plagiarism, where you copy text and don't credit the author. second is Plagiarism of cited sources, where you copy text exactly (even when you credit the author). The last is close paraphrasing, where you just slightly change the text of another author (cited or not).

4. I would definitely keep using Wikipedia editing. I really want to bring more credible resources to bring positive impact on society and influence more people.Aaronlai23 (talk) 04:08, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
