France

Hi and Happy Year, I am writing to you to talk about French categories and try to understand each other. I recommend that you look in other similar categories to see that all Wikidata follows this pattern (look at any country or big city in WD). It cannot be that France is an exception.

Greetings, --KajenCAT (talk) 10:48, 1 January 2021 (UTC)

@KajenCAT: (We are talking about Q515?) I know for sure that Russian word is different from English and mostly includes "city"+"town". I suppose that French word is also not equivalent to English. --Infovarius (talk) 21:20, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Ah, about categories. I didn't mean French categories. I see Russian labels and Russian sitelinks (and statements too) and your changes are wrong according to them. For example, Q7030219 is about ethnicity while Q9076545 is about place-connected personalities. Do you disagree? --Infovarius (talk) 21:33, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi, if i'm not wrong, you reverted my edits in French and Russian categories regarding "category of associated people in WD of both countries. I urge you to check any WD of other country or major city on how they are done in. I urge you to check any other country or major city on how they are done. Maybe the category is in the wrong WD, but in any case the english format of Category:X people (countries) and Category:People from X (cities, regions, ...) should go in this category. Please note that your edits are harming the work of the bots of several Wikipedias. --KajenCAT (talk) 20:36, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

@KajenCAT: The problem in ambiguaty of English words. "Russian people" can mean "people from Russia" as well as "people of Russian ethnicity". If you believe that English sitelink use first meaning you are free to move it to Q9076545. The same for all other countries (may be I should overview all of them too). --Infovarius (talk) 22:21, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Natural History (= Ciencias Naturales) versus modern Anglo-Saxon term Natural Sciences

Hello @Infovarius:, I don't quite understand what were your criteria for reversing the translation of the classic expression "Natural History" to Spanish "Ciencias Naturales", the latter is the term used in all Spanish speaking countries to refer to the Natural History Museums and the academic study of Nature.

You can see the classic definition of the expression in Wikidictionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/natural_history.

In the Spanish-speaking world, the expression «Historia_natural» was introduced as a literal translation of Natural History in the 18th century with the proliferation of Cabinet of Curiosities (firts Museums), but later (S. XIX-XX) was changed to «Ciencias Naturales» and, with that name, many Museums (see above) and academic Faculties were founded for its study.

Wikidata should not homogenize the cultural heritage of the different countries based on the "bad" Google translations, to avoid this it would be convenient to check the meaning of «Ciencias Naturales» in different wikis; particularly ru.wiki explains it very well (Естественные науки). In en.wiki: Natural history, in de.wiki: Naturwissenschaft.

In pt.wiki (Ciências naturais), with a long tradition of British culture, they assume both expressions as synonyms: «Além do uso tradicional, a expressão ciências naturais é por vezes usada no dia-a-dia como sinônimo história natural».

I think the confusion between the classical terms of Natural History (= Ciencias Naturales in Spanish) with the modern Anglo-Saxon term «Natural Sciences» is creating great chaos on Wikipedia. Regards and happy new year. --MartinGala (talk) 01:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Schools

By all means, please explain how secondary school is not a subclass of school. It's quite literally in the name. A secondary school is a more specific type of school. Currently, the page Casa Grande Union High School is diplaying the warning Entities using the NCES School ID property should be instances of school (or of a subclass of it), but Casa Grande Union High School currently isn't.. There are countless other schools with the same warning. Your edit serves no purpose. kennethaw88 • talk 22:15, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

TRNC - RoC

Hi. The TRNC does not claim any territory from the Administration calling itself Republic of Cyprus, maybe the opposite is true though. The "federal republic" on Cyprus came to an end with the Bloody Christmas of 1963, which was indeed aimed at making the Turks of the Island disappear -by killing or forcing them to escape- and converting the federal entity into a Greek State or part of Greece. Did you not know that? (Now you do. :) Have a good week-end. --E4024 (talk) 13:56, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Revert at "physicist"

Hi, I just would like to ask/clarify why you deleted the "academic title" tag. You wrote "no, it's strange". I assume that you are not German, because in German this is 100% correct. The definition in "academic title" is (engl. version): "title to indicate the completion of a course of study or the extent of academic achievement". Now, "Physiker" (German for physicist) is a word which can only be used for people having successfully completed studies in physics at a university (no less). Correctly, in the past, the complete title was "Diplom-Physiker", but everybody said the short form Physiker. Today after some reforms in the 2000s it is "Bachelor/Master in Physik", but I am sure people still say "Physiker". So this is a short form of an academic title in German. I hope I could explain the topic. Apart from that, this whole thing is not of particular significance to me... Pittigrilli (talk) 21:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

@Pittigrilli: I undestand you. In Russia we officially would use this term for professionals too, but don't you have unofficial naming for any who "doing some physics"? Anyway, if you advocate for "Physiker als Titel", it would probably worth to create different item for such definition. --Infovarius (talk) 21:17, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes, it is an idea to create "Physiker" als Titel. To your question if Germans don't have the word "Physiker" as an <unofficial naming for any who "doing some physics"> - no, absolutely not. It is really strictly only used for somebody with university degree. People would look very strangely at someone who says he is a P. and then it comes out he is some amateur or has a lesser educational degree. I believe this even goes into the direction of "unlawful activity" like pretending you have a PhD/Dr. (academic title) when you don't. Have a good evening (or night in Russia, I guess...)

Wikidate-Storage

Greetings, I see you reverted my edit. When I search for storage, the page warehouse shows up. And it means "depo" in Turkish but another article in Turkish is linked to that page. Nevertheless, I won't revert your edit. Best regards.--Visnelma (talk) 06:37, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

You do not know Turkish!

1-) First of all, you do not speak Turkish and you come and change what I wrote in Turkish. Don't do that! 2-) You do not know the Turkish spelling rules, so do not change the changes I wrote and do not provoke users towards me! 4-) By the way in Turkish, although the sentence does not end with a period, ellipsis, question mark, exclamation mark, and so on, the first letter of the sentence begins with a capital letter! 3-) Make changes in your native language, not in Turkish!  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by Doğru Tercüman (talk • contribs) at 17:10, 2 февраля 2021‎ (UTC).

@Doğru Tercüman: and you seems don't know Wikidata. Common rule here is not to capitalize words in labels and descriptions which are usually not capitalized inside sentence. If Turkish capitalizes all nouns (as German) which I doubt, you are free to add this to Q256#P6106. --Infovarius (talk) 20:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

And your descriptions are (sometimes) far from useful and brief. Compare: [2], [3], [4]. --Infovarius (talk) 21:44, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

@Hannolans: If we don't have specific genre of photo, what is better: 1) to create a new item or 2) to widen scope of landscape painting (Q191163)? --Infovarius (talk) 21:46, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

we have landscape photography (Q1353984) as photography genre (Q3100808) will that fit? otherwise we could check Art & Architecture Thesaurus (Q611299) to add new terms --Hannolans (talk) 22:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

СПб

Там проблема не в том, что другие языки вылезают, а в том, что краткое название замещает собой поле с официальными названиями, привязанными ко времени (см., например, ru:Адриан (Тяжёлов) или ru:Александров, Фёдор Михеевич), поэтому я и понижал ранг. windewrix (talk) 20:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

@WindEwriX: Ну так, наверное, проблема в том, что краткие названия (а их может быть много и на разных языках) не должны подменять официальные. Если хочется сокращать официальное, могу предложить добавить квалификатор "краткое название" к нему. --Infovarius (talk) 22:48, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

"Et tu Brute"

These words were not the "legendary last words of Julius Caesar". His last words were Καὶ σὺ τέκνον. The phrase "Et tu Brute" was invented in the Middle Ages and popularized by William Shakespeare's play (in which the words are not Caesar's last either).*Treker (talk) 06:51, 3 March 2021 (UTC) ː1 I'd also like to add that "teknon" would be translated more as "boy" than "son". There is also no "my" in the sentence. The most likely translation would likely be "You too boy".*Treker (talk) 13:07, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

@*Treker: this phrase is commonly referred to Julius Caesar, why it can't be called "a legend"? The word "мой" is part of quite frequent citation in Russian. --Infovarius (talk) 19:06, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Things that are provably false are not "legendary", they're just false. And I was talking about "Kai su teknon", not "Et tu Brute" when I mentioned there being no "my" in it.*Treker (talk) 19:09, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Splitting Wikipedia links between two related Wikidata items

Hi Infovarius,

I've noticed that you split Wikipedia links between Q82642) and arterial blood pressure (Q9062560), though they were linked before Wikidata was created.

Wikidata is more precise than Wikipedia about subjects, so there will always be more Wikidata items than Wikipedia articles. The initial only purpose of Wikidata was to centralise interlanguage links. Splitting them between related Wikidata articles goes against that purpose. One way to know if Wikipedia articles are related is to check the redirects. For example, en:Arterial pressure redirects to en:Blood pressure. Same thing for fr:Pression sanguine and fr:Pression artérielle.
Some Wikipedias will sometimes have articles for both subjects, that's not a problem. Just keep the most Wikipedia articles linked together on the broader subject item. The RedBurn (ϕ) 16:53, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

@The RedBurn: Infovarius did the right thing. If you want to see interwiki links, add redirects as a sitelinks, instead of linking narrow topics to broader ones directly. See Wikidata:Sitelinks to redirects (because linking to redirects requires additional steps, unfortunately). --Lockal (talk) 18:07, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Rationale for this change

Hello Infovarius, I have deleted this subclass because of this help page: "if an item A is an instance of class B, and class B is a subclass of class C, item A is implicitly also an instance of class C. There is no general need to add a statement for the relation A→C to Wikidata"--Joseph (talk) 18:30, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

@Joseph: of course, I don't really mind this. (One little thing is that it had a source while new value hasn't). My comment was about "dialect" values. --Infovarius (talk) 12:10, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Talk:Q1499602

Ссылка просто ошибочна. Польская статья "Wyrażenie okazjonalne" описывает совершенно другое понятие, чем та разновидность неологизма, которая по-русски называется окказионализмом.

Coloeus monedula

Hi Infovarius - Corvus monedula is a synonym of Coloeus monedula dating from before genetic data showed that it was less closely related to other species of Corvus than was thought before. So all the wiki pages AND its Commons Category, should be at Coloeus monedula, and not at Corvus monedula as you keep putting it. - MPF (talk) 12:17, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Lamech(s)

In shortː The Bible offers two different genealogies (as outlined here), which look suspiciously similar. Therefore some academics tend to believe that the two geneaolgies (written at different times by different people) mean actually the same person, but inserted the name in different positions. P460 (this item is said to be the same as that item, but it's uncertain or disputed) perfectly describes that discussion. --Mai-Sachme (talk) 14:44, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Страны и реки

Проблема в том, что эти страны не всегда правильны. Например, Калининградская Область не была частью "Российской Империи". И можем ли мы сказать что какая-то река, которая могла поменять русло или название 10 раз за эти годы, была частью "Российской Империи"? И если да, то зачем останавливаться на "Российской Империи", не идти назад до "Киевской Руси" и дальше?

Я не видел аналогических ситуаций у рек других стран. Темза - только "Великобритания", а не "Королевство Великобритания", и не "Королевство Англия". Американские реки - только США, Тибр - только Италия, и т.д...

Постараюсь не убирать, но для меня это противоречит другим странам. OBender12 (talk) 12:59, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

1) @OBender12: Если что-то неправильно, надо исправить. Калининградскую исправил. Пожалуйста, если заметите ещё - говорите, я исправлю.

2) Не могу представить себе реку, которая поменяла русло очень сильно, тем более 10 раз. Можете пример привести? А название никакого отношения не имеет - главное физическая сущность.

3) Я не против идти "дальше" - в Киевскую Русь и т.д. Просто у меня были трудности с алгоритмом определения таких старых стран для каждой конкретной точки. Я сделал то, в чём более-менее уверен.

4) Другие страны просто не занялись ещё этим. Я был бы рад, если бы там тоже кто-нибудь поработал над историей. В реках абсолютный голяк, города и другие населённые пункты постепенно обрастают историческими местонахождениями (см. какой-нибудь Rome (Q220)). --Infovarius (talk) 13:35, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Votre modification relative à Q183173 est incorrecte

Bonjour,

Je remarque que vous avez annulé la modification que j'avais faite sur l'élément Q183173. Pour votre information, cette modification a été faite sur base de la définition très claire du Grand Larousse encyclopédique (10 volumes), publié en 1962 :

Hygromètre n.m. Météorol. Appareil qui sert à mesurer l’humidité de l’air. (V. part. encycl.) - Encycl. Météorol. Les hygromètres mesurent, suivant leur type, l’humidité absolue, l’humidité relative, ou des valeurs qui permettent de calculer les deux précédentes.

Si vous lisez les définitions en anglais et allemand relatives à l'élément Q183173, vous verrez qu'elles disent exactement la même chose. Le fait que l'image illustrant l'élément Q183173 montre un hygromètre mesurant l'humidité relative n'est qu'illustrative d'un type d'hygromètre particulier et ne justifie pas de restreindre la définition à ce seul type. Je vais donc annuler votre changement. Je suis heureux d'avoir pu vous apprendre quelque chose, et vous souhaite une excellente journée. --Duvivier.Michel (talk) 10:00, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Infovarius, на всякий случай, обращу ваше внимание, что сущности для местных/региональных/федеральных ОКН уже существовали. Я объединил вновь созданные вами сущности Q106636485, Q106636489, Q106636501 с уже существовавшими Q23668083, Q105835744, Q105835766.

@Avsolov, Mitte27: Добрый день. Честно говоря, не понимаю, в чём проблема. Увидел обсуждение на Talk:Q8346700 и решил наконец заняться. Я просто добавляю статус там, где его не было (согласно категории) и уточняю там, где можно (где включено в конкретные подкатегории, типа этой). Кажется, в некоторых местах произошло дублирование более общим классом? Я уберу его, давайте только придём к согласию по остальным пунктам. В частности, User:Mitte27, почему вы оставляете дублирующие классы наследия (более общее при наличии частного)? --Infovarius (talk) 14:00, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

Merge of Q10972285 and Q11027905

Hi Infovarius,

Thanks for your reminder. In fact, it was my first attempt trying to merge 2 items on Wikidata. You imply that during the process many site links have lost, but I did it with the "Merge with" feature, which I thought should merge all data including the site links. Considering that these two items are identical concepts and content, I believe they should be merged. How should I do it? Please let me know, thank you.  – The preceding unsigned comment was added by 06:10, 3 мая 2021‎ (talk • contribs) at Aquacryst (UTC).

Let's discuss at Talk:Q10972285. --Infovarius (talk) 20:49, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Special:Diff/578483913

You added that Ivan Švear is a Russian, and in the edit after this Special:Diff/578483937, that he speaks Russian. Edits after this used this information, and put descriptions like "Russian historian". Ivan Švear was born in what is now Croatia, then Habsburg Monarchy, and died in Croatia, or Kingdom of Hungary then. He wrote the first Croatian history book in Croatian language. I can't find any source of him having any ties with Russia. I'll fix the item, but you should check other items you edited with the same source or method. I hope you didn't just tag every Ivan as a Russian :) --Janjko (talk) 14:44, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

nation Who's on First ID revert

Regarding this revert. Um, nation is a concept. 85897669 Who's on First ID is for a neighbourhood in Switzerland. --Bamyers99 (talk) 17:34, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Your revert

(i.e. this change): As a Hebrew speaker, I can tell you that the hewiki article is misnamed, and it is about Young's modulus (Q2091584) and not elastic modulus (Q192005), which is a broader concept, and does not have (to the best of my knowledge) a corresponding article. Nadav S (Talk) 19:48, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

My Google translator is enough to understand that the content of the article includes other modules too. Doesn't it? --Infovarius (talk) 18:54, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

No. It does speak about the relation between E and G, and how this relates to a 3d strain, as a passing note. It however does not mention the bulk modulus at all, and has no intention to do so. If you read carefully, it (unfortunately) equates Young's modulus with "the" elasticity modulus, as if there is only one.

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about the subject to properly correct the article, but as it is, I'm quite sure I'm right. Nadav S (Talk) 12:09, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

So, G is one of the topics of the article? --Infovarius (talk) 20:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

It is mentioned, but not as a topic. Nadav S (Talk) 11:59, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

I take your silence as a sign of acceptance. So, unless you say otherwise I will redo the change tomorrow. Nadav S (Talk) 05:19, 1 June 2021 (UTC)

I realized only now that you've already undone your edit. Thank you for your patience. Nadav S (Talk) 11:13, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

semolina (Q381350) vs grys (Q29056749)

Hi. In 2019 you merged grys (Q29056749) into semolina (Q381350). But these are not the same thing. Grys is very general. It means "fine-grained groats" and can be made from common wheat (kasza manna), durum wheat (semolina), corn (kasza kukurydziana), potatoes (grysik ziemniaczany), rice (grys ryżowy/ryż łamany), spelt (grysik orkiszowy), etc. On the other hand semolina is specifically made from durum wheat. So semolina is a subclass of grys, not its duplicate. I believe the merge should be undid. --Tengwar (talk) 16:29, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

@Tengwar: ok, let's try to unmerge. Please then fill this item with labels and statements. --Infovarius (talk) 20:19, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

@Infovarius:I started adding additional info to the new item, but then I found durum wheat semolina (Q95370124), which is separate from semolina (Q381350). It looks like in some languages (like Polish) semolina is fine groats (grys) or coarse flour from durum wheat, but in some it means fine wheat groats (grys zbożowy) and in some, it is the same as grys (fine groats from any grain or even any granulate from plant). What's more, in some languages (like Esperanto) there seems to be a distinction between semolina and grys, but the distinction does not seem to be based on whether it's made from durum wheat or any grain. So it's a mess and it looks like there needs to be a general reshuffle of labels, Wikipedia links and statements. Seems like we'll need some speakers of other languages to sort it out because Google Translate randomly mixes terms. (E.g. it confuses semolina, grys, grain, and soft wheat farina (kasza manna) which makes the translations unreliable.) Later I'll make a report on the interwiki conflicts page to give this issue some visibility. --Tengwar (talk) 15:49, 26 May 2021 (UTC)

@Tengwar: yeah, it can be a mess, look also Q3505415. I've tried some time ago to untangle different foods made of these groats (start at Q257971) but they are even more numerous in different countries. --Infovarius (talk) 11:28, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Czechoslovakia (Q33946)

You have reverted my revision of Czechoslovakia (Q33946) in which a removed statement shares border with (P47)Polish People's Republic (Q211274) (difference). I am persuaded that this statement is redundant, because there is already statement shares border with (P47)Poland (Q36) and it includes Poland with it's whole history. If there should be the statement which I have removed, there should also be statements of all historical forms of Poland (and other coutries). Which way do you preffer? I do you know if is there some community consensus? --Albert Horáček (talk) 14:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

@Albert Horáček: Ah, I didn't notice Q36. For me yes, there should be all historical states, and forms of Poland too, but this is not-consensual. Some say that Q36 existed in all times but in different forms. Which is silly for me, because e.g. before 1918 it was not a sovereign state but only a part of sovereign state (Q34266), but this is even more complicated in XX century... --Infovarius (talk) 22:49, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

batch #55097 dropping references

Hi! In this change you removed the reference from a claim by first removing the claim and then adding it back. Was this what you intended to do? Bovlb (talk) 20:24, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

@Bovlb: Not intended, it's a problem of batch editing with PetScan and QuickStatements. But this reference is not important imho... --Infovarius (talk) 22:53, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Not the most important reference, I agree, although it's always nice to know where information came from. In any case, I was able to find a much better reference for that specific claim. I was more concerned about whether this might indicate a wider tool problem with inadvertent trimming of references. Bovlb (talk) 00:22, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

  • 0) Имею привычку некоторое время следить за СО, где пишу. 1) Спасибо, но 4-е — для персоналий; 3-е не подходит, т. к. если епархия — это обычно территория, то церковь — это прежде всего организация, хотя часто курирует определённую территорию; 1-я — уровня костыля; так что остаётся тот вариант, который я выбрал для себя: religion or worldview (P140) с квалификатором "относится к".

@Infovarius Unfortunately, in addition to some wierdness next to Perovo and Novogireevo, there are other drawbacks of the request for Moscow Metro that you showed:

• the same wierdness between Vladykino, Otradnoye and Bibirevo (north of line 9, grey).
• the same wirdness between Krylatskoye, Troitse-Lykovo and Strogino (north-west of line 3, blue). It may be because T-L is a technical platform and is not specified as next stations for Krylatskoye and Strogino.
• no stations of lines 1 (red), 2 (green), 15 (pink) at all.
• only south-east part of line 7 (violet) is displayed.

Past Second Definitions

Regarding the move of the tropical year numerical value in second (Q11574). That long decimal for a second in terms of tropical years is not a conversion. There was a start and end time qualifier because it was the past offical SI definition of a second. When it was redefined in terms of Caesium-133, that conversion ratio became differnet (or at the least not to the number of decimals that were there). Since a tropical year is not a constant in terms of seconds anymore (it changes very slighly every year), I don't think it should be kept as a conversion and should go back into the numerical value with those qualifiers TB5ivVaO1y55FkAogw1X (talk) 18:31, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Село Украины

Объясните, пожалуйста, в каких АИ выделяется тип населённого пункта "село Украины" и в чем его отличие от всех остальных сёл мира? --Kosun (talk) 19:19, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

@Kosun: Дело не в АИ, далеко не все классы в Викиданных взяты из АИ, а в удобстве и здравом смысле. Пусть отличие не всегда очевидно, оно потенциально может быть и лучше точнее классифицировать. Нет такого понятия как "село мира" - в каждой стране по-своему понимают. Посмотрите, сколько сейчас копий ломается в вопросе city<>город<>town... Сравните, например, с Индонезией: https://reasonator.toolforge.org/?q=Q2225692&lang=ru - с каким именно подклассом вы ассоциируете "все остальные сёла мира"? Или есть например urban-type settlement in Ukraine (Q7216840) vs. urban-type settlement in Russia (Q15078955). Кстати, в Украине есть отличие между деревней и селом? --Infovarius (talk) 21:53, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Здравствуйте. Не могли бы Вы объснить, почему Вы приравняли инкубатор к черновикам? По смыслу он относится именно к Articles for creation.

Undo revision 1457752792 by Dingsuntil

Maybe I don't know how wikidata is supposed to work, but I would not call the subject (Nakamoto) a mathematician. I know a bit of math myself, but I don't do math for a living, so I would call myself a programmer or an engineer or a computer scientist or something like that, but not a mathematician. The same goes for Nakamoto. "Cryptographer" is even a bit of a stretch, but insofar as bitcoin involves a lot of applied cryptography it fits well enough. But you can't call everyone who knows lots of math a mathematician. Dingsuntil (talk) 22:33, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

@Dingsuntil: Well, even it's not their profession ("earn for living"), inventing new mathematically-involved (yes, cryptographical) thing means to be a mathematician in some sense. I believe. --Infovarius (talk) 15:45, 17 July 2021 (UTC)

Well as I say, I'm a software engineer, which means that I work on mathematically-involved things all day. Math is a big part of what I do, but I'm not a mathematician, I'm a programmer. Similarly, a mechanical or electrical engineer who designs new physical products may invent a new thing which is mathematically involved (by way of engineering). But none of us are mathematicians, because being a mathematician means you don't do those things, you just do math. Calling us all mathematicians is silly.

In any case, I dislike calling Nakamoto a mathematician because, apart from being inaccurate, it smacks of fanboy bullshit. It sounds like trying too hard to make what he did sound more impressive. Which I don't think should be considered necessary. You could easily say that big software engineering achievements are more important and impressive than pure mathematics. I think you could make the case that linux is a big deal in this way. I'm not so sure about Bitcoin, but I don't think calling it math makes it better. It could easily be said that it's more impressive than math, and not just for its impact. But when you call it math & call Nakamoto a mathematician you sound try-hard, and you're mostly just going to annoy people who understand the subject. Dingsuntil (talk) 18:22, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, @Superchilum:. I understand your formal approach but sometimes it is impossible to choose the one. Here, how do you think what main topic of Category:Days (Q7152582)? --Infovarius (talk) 22:19, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Oh, at last an answer! :-) I think the most appropriate in that case is Q205892. I know that there are some "difficult cases" sometimes, and it's not easy or almost impossible to resolve them, even if ideally that means that in those cases the systems "categories/articles" are not properly done and should be fixed. I think that proper couples are Q8364508/Q573 and Q7152582/Q205892, but Q6675695 is also a good candidate. Maybe @Epìdosis: has somehow resolved in this way and this way.

language (Q315) vs language (Q34770)

Hi Infovarius,

Thanks for your many contributions, but I am not sure to understand why you have reversed my changes on the entity language (Q315). This entity should not be used as a language (Q34770), like I explained in the talk page of language (Q315). Look at the descriptions in every languages, and the Wikipedia article associated with this entity (except the English one, which is ambiguous). They are all describing this entity as the capability to communicate, while language (Q34770) is described as the set of signs used to communicate. Look at French (Q150), English (Q1860), Russian (Q7737), and many others, they are a language (Q34770), not a language (Q315). We should not maintain the ambiguity between language (Q315) and language (Q34770), and be clear about the differences between the two. CaLéValab (talk) 11:06, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

If class A is not completely included in class B, then class A is not a subclass of class B ... if I have understood the concept of class correctly. Instead, has part(s) of the class (P2670) would be used. Anyway, could you show me an example of facility (Q13226383) that isn't fixed construction (Q811430)?

But I want to admit that concubinage (Q188790) is specifically about historical phenomenon (in Ancient Rome and similar), do you really want to move Danish link there? Also please explain me why the link doesn't fit Q841509? --Infovarius (talk) 17:58, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

@Infovarius:I have reconsidered the articles. It turns out that you made the correct edits. It seems that there is a confusion in the information of the Arabic article. I will talk to a colleague there to correct it.Manar Kurdia (talk) 20:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Meaning of capital (Q5119)

Hello,

I saw you reverted my deletion of capital from Venice, IMHO the only capital in Italy is Rome. Can you please elaborate?

Thanks --Francians (talk) 06:12, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

@Francians: Isn't there a meaning of "capital" which allows to say "capital of a region", "capital of an administrative division"? --Infovarius (talk) 22:37, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

philosophical literature (Q13408937)

Hi Infovarius,

I see that you added again creative nonfiction (Q20669574) and philosophical fiction (Q20737414) as superclasses of philosophical literature (Q13408937). But philosophical literature (Q13408937) can't be at the same time creative nonfiction (Q20669574) (which is subclass of non-fiction (Q213051)) and philosophical fiction (Q20737414) (which is subclass of fiction (Q8253)). Moreover, the only Wikipedia article attached to this entity defines philosophical literature (Q13408937) just as literature about philosophy. Nothing about fiction or non-fiction. What do you think ?

CaLéValab (talk) 13:11, 3 September 2021 (UTC)

I think there are both fiction phylosophycal works and non-fiction. So probably, for class purity, it's better to have disjointed items for these types of philosophical literature (Q13408937). --Infovarius (talk) 11:48, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

Q212071

FYI, my messing with this (and chancellor, university president, etc) was trying to clean up the difference between a 'university president', 'chancellor', or 'rector' who is actually the 'ceremonial head' (hands out diplomas, position but usually not a job) of the school, vs those who actually hold the role of CEO of the university corporation (literal boss of university staff, actual fulltime job)... and the titles of the roles appear to be mixed around at different schools. Not saying you 'broke that' at all, just explaining the distinction I was trying to make. Jarnsax (talk) 21:40, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

university head (Q108392111) vs university chief executive (Q108399377) Jarnsax (talk) 21:44, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

@Jarnsax: it's a good and ambitious task! I can't summarize for all universities in the world, but in Perm State University (Q2031051) "rector" is a real manager, while "president" is like a honorary title. --Infovarius (talk) 13:39, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Right now, I'm working on actually 'collecting' Canadian schools into classes like university in Alberta (Q108402705) using the membership list pages for a number of the organizations (like Canadian Association of Research Libraries (Q1032048)).... for Alberta, the province themself actually sorts the public schools into categories (hence the disjoint union thing). My intent (what I think makes sense) is to classify them down to the level of the governmental entity (in Canada, the province) that actually regulates them, since that's where the actual distinction between public, private, college or university is 'defined'.

Oddly (and incorrectly) when statements for those exist, they often mislabeled as an 'affiliation', which is wrong. For a university, an 'affiliate' is an affiliated school (Q2983860).

Carleton University (Q1041737) is the school where I have made the most progress, see Chancellor of Carleton University (Q108388648), President and Vice-Chancellor of Carleton University (Q108390860), and Board of Governors of Carleton University (Q108388749).

looking at derived statements is useful, btw, regarding what I'm doing... like, the ex chancellors are actually stated on the person, not the office (tho they should probably be on both). Jarnsax (talk) 17:17, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

Just as a side note, it's also helping me find stuff like https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q2983573&diff=1493652520&oldid=1366668472 which is very common. Jarnsax (talk) 17:27, 7 September 2021 (UTC)

@Jarnsax: for me as non-English speaker it is always confusing to use word "school" for higher education institution (Q38723). In Russian, equivalent word means specifically for children - school (Q3914). Are you sure that you cleanly distinguish these classes of educational institution (Q2385804)? --Infovarius (talk) 11:51, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

I misspoke above, using the term 'school' generically... You are right, school (Q3914) is for children, split into primary school (Q9842) and secondary school (Q159334), and then higher education institution (Q38723) is split into college (Q189004) (undergraduate only) and university (Q3918) (undergraduate and graduate). I haven't messed with anything that far down the 'tree', I think those basic divisions are pretty global, just need regional subclasses for places where they are actually 'defined' in some way (like Post-Secondary Learning Act, 2003 (Q108415443) does for Alberta (it defines classes of public post-secondary schools) Jarnsax (talk) 16:54, 8 September 2021 (UTC)

There can be cultural differences though. For me, secondary school (Q159334) is more general than school (Q3914) and college (Q189004) are not higher education institution (Q38723). But you are right in the main point - regional classes are the solution. So, good luck with Canadian education system! --Infovarius (talk) 15:13, 9 September 2021 (UTC)

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that those divisions (school, college, university) or their translation are the 'correct name' everywhere.... even in the US, it's not unusual for a university faculty to be named something like "School of Arts and Sciences". I just meant the actual 'division' into primary, secondary, undergraduate, and postgraduate education seems to be pretty global, under whatever names... school, college, and university are generic terms used in US English, but the actual names of institutions are pretty random. I'm using the database at https://www.cicic.ca/ (The Canadian Information Centre for International Credentials) as an 'impartial' way of discriminating them, since Canada doesn't have actual 'accreditation bodies'.

If interested, I'm 'documenting' what I'm doing at User:Jarnsax/Higher education in Canada... this would be impossible to keep straight otherwise. Jarnsax (talk) 15:13, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

Смена власти на Украине в феврале 2014 года

Здравствуйте! Почему вы считаете что русскую статью ru:Смена власти на Украине в феврале 2014 года надо связать с элементом Revolution of Dignity (Q15733401) (который про всю революцию на Украине с ноября по февраль), а не с элементом 18–21 February 2014 clashes in Ukraine (Q56356011) (который про кульминацию революции 18-21 февраля)? Да, в самой статье ru:Смена власти на Украине в феврале 2014 года в разделе Предыстория событий описываются и период начала революции, но само название и основное содержание посвящено именно кульминации революции 18-21 февраля.

Reverting

Hi Infovarius, sorry about all the trouble with those reverting IPs on all those Polish and Cyrillic-related items. All the IPs who've been edit-warring there have been globally banned vandal en:User:Wikinger, both the ones who are ostensibly trying to remove the "Sibinia" hoaxes and the ones reinserting them (Wikinger sometimes likes to revert-war against himself). That's annoying, of course. It doesn't change the fact that the Sibinia hoaxes need to be cleaned up though, and it's probably unavoidable that some bits of useful info might occasionally get lost in the process. Just as an example, I have of course no objection to you reinserting Clement of Ohrid as a creator on the "Cyrillic" page – I think when I removed it it was actually a mis-click, as I meant to remove only the fake reference link. But that bogus reference link to that fake manuscript page image actually does need to go, so I removed it again just now. Hope you'll understand. Cleaning up the mess from that Sibinia/Kriestovo Nysian hoaxer has been a huge drain. Future Perfect at Sunrise (talk) 14:19, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

Первое упоминание Перми

Коллега, имя городу Пермь дала Екатерина II в 1780 году — её указ и есть первое письменное упоминание Перми. До этого не было никакой "Перми" как населённого пункта, соответственно и письменных упоминаний о нём быть не могло. Факт наличия поселений на территории Перми до её основания никто не отрицает, но это, возможно, какой-то другой тип утверждения, но уж точно не "первое упоминание" о собственно предмете статьи. Например, сейчас в территорию города входит бывшее село Верхние Муллы, которое упоминается вообще в 1579 году. Но никто в здравом уме не будет отождествлять упоминание этого села с упоминанием собственно Перми.

The question is where the name comes from, not where it's commonly used. For example, the surname Ostrowski is used by around 1000 people in Germany, but it still remains a Polish name.

Здание Пермского цирка

Здравствуйте. Я сожалею, но это здание было снято с охраны как объект культурного наследия. Именно поэтому я убрала из ВД соответствующие номера и добавила новую соответствующую категорию в статью о цирке. Сейчас еще дописала об этом две фразы в самой статье и дала ссылку на соответствующий документ. -- Екатерина Борисова (talk) 21:38, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

UPD: И еще раз здравствуйте. Хочу сразу сказать, что не воспринимаю ваше стремление проставить в ВД здания пермского цирка номера ОКН как "войну правок", а воспринимаю, в общем, как желание уточнить информацию, тем более что вы проставили там даты начала и окончания пребывания этого здания в статусе ОКН. Однако после того как вы вернули в ВД эти номера, они (точнее, один из номеров) появился в шаблоне-карточке статьи о здании в поле Статус, а это появление автоматически создает категории объектов культурного наследия. И это создает путаницу и приводит опять-таки к неточности информации. В качестве выхода из положения я вписала в поле Статус фразу-заглушку, которая одновременно описывает текущий статус здания и мешает появлению в этом поле номера ОКН и соответствующих категорий. Прошу отнестись к этому с пониманием и не отменять эту правку по вышеуказанным причинам. -- Екатерина Борисова (talk) 20:53, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

Здравствуйте, Екатерина. Спасибо, что отслеживаете изменение статуса. Да, я хочу оставить эту информацию как историческую.

non-fiction literature (Q27801)

Hi Infovarius,

Thank you for correcting some errors I made during my last few editing days.

However, about non-fiction literature (Q27801), I'm not sure I did something wrong. Let me explain how I see it (but I may be wrong) :

non-fiction work (Q20540385) is the genre/class while non-fiction literature (Q27801) is the set of literary works which are non-fiction work (Q20540385). non-fiction work (Q20540385) should be used with genre (P136) or instance of (P31) while non-fiction literature (Q27801) should be used with part of (P361). It just comes out of the very nature of the words "non-fiction literature" and "literary non-fiction". Something "is a literary non-fiction" (instance of (P31)) or something "belongs to the non-fiction literature" (part of (P361)). But a book cannot "be a non-fiction literature", that makes no sense, at least in English. I'm not against merging both items however, but if both items remain, I think the difference should be made clear between both. That was the purpose of my edits.

CaLéValab (talk) 21:43, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi @Infovarius: I see that you go on reverting some of my contributions, in particular fiction literature (Q38072107), saying as for non-fiction literature (Q27801), that it should be discussed. I'm here to discuss the issue. I explained my point of view on the message above. In addition to what I said on the previous message, the issue of genres that are only the intersection of a form and a more general genre, has been discussed on the book wikiproject, and such genres should not be used anymore. @EncycloPetey: confirmed it on my discussion page (EncycloPetey could you tell me if I'm wrong about this one). fiction literature (Q38072107) and non-fiction literature (Q27801) have been used as genres, and now they should not been used that way (fiction (Q8253) and non-fiction (Q213051) should be used instead). So fiction literature (Q38072107) and non-fiction literature (Q27801) should not be used as genre anymore, and I'm in the process to replace them by the more general genres on every book that uses them. If we add this fact to what I said in the previous message, deleting "genre" from fiction literature (Q38072107) and non-fiction literature (Q27801) makes lots of sense, and is in line with what the community expects. If I'm wrong, and the community is not expecting that, please explain it to me. I can make mistakes but I'm eager to learn. CaLéValab (talk) 12:28, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

@CaLéValab: With "non-fiction literature", I am not sure you have determined the distinction correctly. We'd need to first look at the two data items, and their attached Wikipedia articles, and might even need a multi-lingual team to disentangle the two. Based on the English label, I might have made a different choice. Many of these labels have not been classified correctly and will need clean-up before they can be applied consistently. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:05, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

Hindi literature (Q1322592)

Hi @Infovarius:, you said : "each piece of Hindu literature is a piece of general literature". Yes, exactly, that's why Hindi literature (Q1322592) is an instance of sub-set of literature (Q109551565) which has the property "part of" literature (Q8242). I suppose that an instance inherits the "part of" properties of its class (but to be verified : I've asked a question about that on Help_talk:Basic_membership_properties but got no reply). If that's not the case, I will do a batch quickstatement to add a "part of" -> "literature" to every instance of sub-set of literature (Q109551565). CaLéValab (talk) 13:58, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

It's a hard question. Probably it's better to discuss at Talk:Q8242. --Infovarius (talk) 21:34, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

literature (Q8242)

Hi @Infovarius: "a literary work (Q7725634)" is not "a literature", but only "part of literature". So literature (Q8242) is not a subclass of literary work (Q7725634) or creative work (Q17537576). literary work (Q7725634) however is a subclass of creative work (Q17537576), because something could be "a literary work (Q7725634)", and when something is a literary work (Q7725634), it is a creative work (Q17537576) as well. literature (Q8242) is the set of all literary work (Q7725634). So literature (Q8242) has part(s) of the class (P2670) literary work (Q7725634).

As for "literature is a subclass of art", I'm not sure that to say "everything that is a literature is a 'art as a concept'" makes sense. I would say literature is a form of art, that's all. But I'm not going to revert that change, since it could be discussed. CaLéValab (talk) 15:06, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Is water a medication

Hi,

I'm very confused by your revert on liquid water (Q29053744): Special:Diff/1528898070. Water obviously not a medication and the brand names are also obviously wrong (for instance the first one "Activase" is the brand name for alteplase (Q45769835) which is very trivailly not the same thing, water has for formula H2O while Alteplase has C2569H3928N746O781S40 - same for all the other brand names).

If this statement kept, we should at least deprecate it, what do you think.

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 16:59, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, VIGNERON. But why not? Some intoxications can be healed with pure water. Drugbank ID is obviously adequate for the item. What about brands like "Airlife Sterile Water for Inhalation USP" or many "distilled water"? --Infovarius (talk) 21:32, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

The only thing that water really heal is deshydration (thirst), for everything else, the water is just a compound or a tool (often as a solvent) not a medication in itself.

For "distilled water", then it should be on distilled water (Q274959) not liquid water (Q29053744) (but the drugbank page don't mention "distilled water", which again is weird).

To settle this, I think we should look for other references that consider water to be a medication.

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 19:43, 22 November 2021 (UTC)

I agree with Vigneron. Water is a fundamental ingredient of the human body and cannot be considered medication, not any more than bread could.

Just because it has DrugBank ID doesn't make it a drug/medication. Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 10:37, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

@Vladimir Alexiev: Your arguments are... just not arguments. If something is ingredient of the body, it's can't be a medication? DrugBank ID doesn't make it a drug but doesn't make it not drug too.

@VIGNERON: Sorry, not "distilled water", but "sterile water". Which item is better for this term? Sterile Water /is used/ for Inhalation, Bacteriostatic Water /is for/ Injection Intravenous and Intramuscular, it is a part of "First Aid Kit" for Ophtalmic needs - a little too much uses for "non-medication", er? Also it is classified as "Irrigating Solutions" and "EENT Drugs, Miscellaneous" and even "Other Miscellaneous Therapeutic Agents". Even if we can't call it "drug" sensu stricto (but I am not a physician and have no qualification for such negation), it's so immersed in the drug classification that it's easier to call it "medication" at least conditionally I believe. --Infovarius (talk) 20:51, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

@Infovarius: it seems you are not talking about the general "water" concept but about a specific concept, like water for injection (Q1539975). And yes, this one is clearly a medication. The problem with drugbank is that it seems to mix very different things (which is very important when it comes to medecine, using the wrong medication can be dangerous or even deadly). I keep thinking that liquid water (Q29053744) should not be indicated as medication, nor have the DrugBank ID (P715) (I just noticed now that it isn't there and the id 09145 is both on water (Q283) the even more general concept and on distilled water (Q274959)). The situation is already a bit messy, I hope we could clean a bit this mess. Cdlt, VIGNERON (talk) 20:14, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

E-number

Hi Infovarius, please check latest version of Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 before you add/re-add E numbers. There a various cases where INS numbers are incorrectly added as E numbers. Regards --Bert (talk) 23:20, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

Creation vs specific economic activities

https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q385378&oldid=prev&diff=1532851100

• I removed construction (Q385378)subclass of (P279)creation (Q11398090)
• You asked "why not"

Because:

• ANY human activity that produces something (a good or service) can be considered creation. To be consistent, you'd need to add that superclass to all of them.
• In particular, any NACE, NAICS, SIC etc economic activity (Q8187769) would be considered creation.
• Then add that super-class to economic activity (Q8187769), but not to every different economic activity

--Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 10:41, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

If anything "can be considered creation" why not to have creation as (at least indirect) superclass? I am not so bold to derive that any economic activity (Q8187769) is a creation of something. What about burning wastes? --Infovarius (talk) 20:54, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

Предупреждение: постоянные и необоснованные отмены правок

Добрый вечер, коллега. Насколько я понимаю, после моего последнего обращения к Вам, увы, ничего не изменилось. Уже на протяжении долгого времени, Вы постоянно и необоснованно отменяете мои правки. Ещё раз предупреждаю, прекратите отменять правки других участников, не разбираясь в ситуации, так это неконструктивно. Вот эта очередная и совершенно необоснованная отмена на этот раз стала последней каплей. Цитирую: Why then Apple Tv, Watch and other devices are allowed? Простите, Вы серьёзно или шутите? Вы отменили мою правку, чтобы просто задать вопрос? Прежде чем отменять мою правку, Вы должны были заметить вот этот дифф. Там была выделена ссылка на данное свойство, где поясняется, что iPhone и iPad не следует рассматривать как платформы и что вместо этого следует использовать общий элемент iOS (Q48493).

Кроме того, здесь также был поставлен шаблон {{Autofix}} для бота, который заботится о правильном использовании свойства platform (P400). Следовательно, вот эта Ваша правка здесь очень напрасна, так как оба элемента всё равно будут удалены уже удалены и заменены ботом (см. здесь). Я настоятельно рекомендую Вам отменить Вашу правку самостоятельно и приступить к обсуждению на соответствующей странице. Что касается Apple Tv, Watch и других устройств, то при необходимости можно будет обсудить их включение в этот список.

Теперь вопрос к Вам. Пожалуйста, объясните мне, зачем было нужно отменять мою правку в данной ситуации, когда Вы могли просто перейти сюда, открыть новую тему и чётко объяснить то, что Вы не понимаете? По какой-то причине Вы же предпочли написать невнятный комментарий и отменить правку и так каждый раз ... Я постоянно продолжаю получать от Вас необоснованные пинги об отмене моих правок, честно говоря, я уже устал от этого и требую хоть какое-то объяснение Ваших действий. Можете ли Вы как-нибудь прокомментировать подобное поведение и почему, вместо того, чтобы открыть обсуждение, если Вы чего-то не понимаете, Вы просто отменяете правки с невнятным комментарием? С уважением Kirilloparma (talk) 19:07, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Вероятно, я не увидел действительно полезного вашего описания правки. Я руководствовался тем, что я написал - сравнение AppleTV и iPhone. Оба являются видами устройств и странно видеть одно из них в списке, а другое удаляемым. iOS вместо iPhone в качестве платформы, видимо, имеет смысл, я согласен. А в чём принципиальное отличие AppleTV и Watch? (я не в теме) неужели в одном из них iOS, а в другом нет? Infovarius (talk) 21:01, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Instance of physical object

Hi, You reverted me here. In doing this, you break SD on Commons. It is necessary that newspaper (Q11032) to be an instance of physical object (Q223557) to use it on SD on Commons, e.g. File:Kjøbenhavnsposten 28 nov 1838 side 1.jpg. Please don't so that. BTW newspaper (Q11032) is missing instance of (P31), which is necessary according to WD modeling. Thanks, Yann (talk) 19:28, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

@Yann: You are wrong. newspaper (Q11032) can't be an instance of object because it has no specific location in time and space, in fact it's a class of some physical objects. Each instance of newspaper (Q11032) would be an instance of object but this should be inferred by superclasses. So according to WD modelling there should be no P31 claims while there should be P279 claims. If something breaks at Commons, you should fix it at Commons, but not break WD modelling instead. Thanks. --Infovarius (talk) 20:44, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

There is nothing to fix on Commons. SDC is based on Wikidata, so everything has to be designed here. So what do you propose? Yann (talk) 22:17, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

How to describe Flying Spaghetti Monster Q12044?

Hello, i think we should use similar tags as other deities of monotheistic religions, and: add qualifiers for questionable values P3680 'statement supported by' and P1310 'statement disputed by' - that way offend everybody, but hopefully prevent unnecessary corrections (also - it helps if references will be filled).

finale / endgame / эндшпиль (Q332225)

Hi Infovarius, "finale / endgame / эндшпиль" (Q332225) in a chess game is a technical term, which designs, a technical phase of a game with few chess pieces on the board. It is not like a part of a competition. For example, a football (soccer) or handball match is like a chess game. The finale is similar to the ten minutes of a football (soccer) or handball match when a team has one player more than the other team, and the team tries to win the match. The finale is not a stage in a competition.--Cbigorgne (talk) 19:04, 26 December 2021 (UTC)

human biblical figure and geographical coordinate

With reference to the discussion [15] I tried to set a constraint on human biblical figure (Q20643955) that coordinate location (P625) could not be used. But may be a bit to advanced for me to do I may also ask you if you have any opiniinon how to module a ship wich was a ship and now is a shipwreck.
