User talk:Bender235

Welcome to Wikidata, Bender235!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

Introduction – An introduction to the project.
Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
Community portal – The portal for community members.
User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
Project chat – Discussions about the project.
Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Merging

Hallo Bender235,
When you merge items, you may want to use the merge.js gadget from help page about merging. It helps with merging, nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable in most cases) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment

Dear Bender235,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits. Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study will start in late January 2022 or early February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

MGP-ID → GND

Hi Bender, thanks for looking up persons with a MGP-ID in the catalog of the German National Library. Everyone who received his highest academic degree in Germany should have a GND. Sometimes the GND is still missing. In these cases you can use DNB edition ID (P1292). Example: Q102799702#P227. The missing GNDs are collected in the list Property talk:P227/human/wanted/no value/DNB edition and will be created later. --Kolja21 (talk) 01:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Created later by whom? --Bender235 (talk) 02:20, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

By the German National Library (de:WP:GND/F) and volunteer librarians like me. --Kolja21 (talk) 02:26, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, cool. I wasn't aware GND feeds off of Wikidata, too. Thought this was going one way only. Great to hear! --Bender235 (talk) 02:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

John C. Fyfe

Hi there! We have an item John C. Fyfe (Q97684681) which was created for a microbiologist with an ORCID id. You matched it to a John Curtis Fyfe in the maths genealogy dataset, who did a PhD on geophysics. I'm not sure it's a good match. Just a heads up that I'm reverting your match. Dsp13 (talk) 15:54, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've created John C. Fyfe (Q120406465) for the geophysicist. Dsp13 (talk) 16:06, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching that! --Bender235 (talk) 16:10, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Laura Gunn

Hi Bender,

The former writes about transgender, the latter about Rubisco. May you please check whether Q102279429 = Q87621572 ? U. M. Owen (talk) 13:06, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They're two different people: Laura H Gunn (Q92463311) is this, while Laura H Gunn (Q87621572) is this. --Bender235 (talk) 14:16, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, indeed. I think that these are incorrect.--U. M. Owen (talk) 14:19, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into this. --Bender235 (talk) 14:27, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I checked most of them, and they all were connected to the "correct" Laura H Dunn of the two. What do you mean by incorrect? --Bender235 (talk) 21:12, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perfect, nothing seems to be incorrect. Thanks for your confirmation!--U. M. Owen (talk) 21:28, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Surname

Hello, how did you decide that Q118235978#P734 is Demin (Q37563006) and not Dyomin (Q56538274)? Infovarius (talk) 19:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly I don't remember. Go ahead and make the necessary fixes please. --Bender235 (talk) 17:37, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
