Hi :)

If I send you a pull request with more descriptions, would you mind running your bot on the "village in China" items again?

The translations I'd like to add come from MechQuester, he asked a lot of people for translations and had been adding them with QuickStatements but is currently blocked (for sockpuppetry, not because of the descriptions). QuickStatements isn't ideal for that and when I checked them I found quite a few mistakes which need fixing, so if you can do it with your bot, that would be great.

@Nikki: Sure, send me the translations in a pull request. Emijrp (talk) 08:35, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

• • Done :) - Nikki (talk) 13:53, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
• @Nikki: Wouldn't more specific descriptions be preferable? If we add "place on earth" to any item with coordinates in 500 languages, would this advance us?
  --- Jura 11:39, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • @Jura1: There is a saying that's appropriate here: en:Perfect is the enemy of good. We don't have translations for more specific descriptions, so the choice is between an informative description and no description. Even when it doesn't provide enough information to distinguish villages in China which have the same name, it still helps to distinguish things which are not villages or not in China from things which are. Nobody is proposing to add "place on Earth" to everything with coordinates, so that question is irrelevant. - Nikki (talk) 13:53, 20 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
    • I don't think the description is much more explicit than "place on Earth". Even if it can be seen as step towards a better description, we found that bots just add chunks of descriptions in countless languages and don't maintain them going forward (bot users who add them don't routinely correct them when they are found to be incorrect). The result is that we have countless items with 100 descriptions that are incorrect and can't be efficiently corrected.

Hallo Emijrp

your bot is very smart. It can export information from articles, which never existed. There is nothing like en:Hannah Epperson --Bahnmoeller (talk) 22:01, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Bahnmoeller: I see. It was a bug, it said in comment that info was extracted from enwp, though it added dewp as reference correctly. I fixed the code now. Thanks for the notice. Emijrp (talk) 22:09, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello Emilio,

I add German descriptions and now I think about get involved in a project for descriptions. Are you interested to participate in a WikiProject for descriptions to coordinate the translations of descriptions and the adding to Wikidata. The WikiProject already exists at Wikidata:WikiProject_Labels_and_descriptions but as far as I see is there no activity at this page at the moment. -- Hogü-456 (talk) 20:47, 30 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Hogü-456: Sure, most of my work here is on descriptions. My scripts are on GitHub and I frequently receive new translations. I check User:Pasleim/Language statistics for items weekly to see progress. The language with more descriptions is NL because Edoderoo work, but some descriptions are poor.

Hello! Thanks for creating Emijrpbot. I've noticed it automatically creates items remarkably quickly after Wikipedia articles are created (e.g. Sally Hoyt Spofford a mere 10 minutes after the creation of her Wikipedia article). Are there certain triggers that make the bot more likely (or more quickly) to automatically create items, such as if categories for birth/death year or occupations are added, a new Wikidata item with instance of human? And if so, does Emijrpbot work with similar rules for non-human entities on Wikipedia or Commons? For Commons, one shortcut might be to utilize the Commons:Category:Categories by name, where individual entities are named, thus any category in Category:Newspapers by name might automatically get a new item with "instance of: newspaper", and similar for Category:Companies by name, with subsequent properties (country of origin, year of establishment, etc.) added based on sub-categorization. Just a thought, please ping me with reply. Cheers! Animalparty (talk) 19:23, 19 March 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Animalparty: Hello! Yes, the bot checks Special:Newpages on English Wikipedia (and French/German editions), detecting biographies through birth/death/living_people categories and other features (counting he/she his/her words for gender, and occupation categories). At the moment it doesn't create items for other kind of entities, but I will try to expand it in the future for movies, books, and other examples, which aren't error-prone. Regards!

Hi!

It seems that User:Emijrpbot does not comply with the maxlag mechanism at the moment, or that the value of the maxlag parameter used is too high. Please ensure you set maxlag=5 to all your requests and respect the Retry-After headers sent by the server. This should enforce a 30 edit/min rate, by which most other bots abide. The editing throughput of Wikidata is a limited resource, so it is important to share it with others.

Thanks! − Pintoch (talk) 09:58, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Pintoch: Who says my bot isn't complying with maxlag? Maxlag is set to 5 in my user-config.py. Editrate and maxlag are different things. My bots has been editing at 65 edits/min on average in the last 24 hours. Around 60 edits/min was the last consensus I remember we discussed in Phabricator. Where is the 30 edits/min discussion? Emijrp (talk) 10:12, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Emijrp: well, I am saying that, because I am observing that the tools that use maxlag=5 generally edit at around 30 edits/min now that the WDQS lag is taken into account for the lag computation (see this list). Is it possible that this configuration parameter might not be taken into account properly by your bot? Or would you be willing to voluntarily halve your editing speed to adjust that? It would be great if you could inspect the HTTP requests actually made by your tool to check that. Note that this is not specifically about your bot, I will also try to get QuickStatements v2 to comply (at the moment, it seems that maxlag is only used in background mode, not in browser mode). − Pintoch (talk) 10:29, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Pintoch: I don't know if the 30 edits/min by the bots in the list is due to the maxlag or a coincidence. My bot uses wikitech:Help:Toolforge/Pywikibot (I assume it is updated, I haven't control over it) and my user-config.py has maxlag=5. I have reduced the tasks of my bot regardless, so it should edit slower now. Emijrp (talk) 10:48, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Emijrp: thank you very much! − Pintoch (talk) 10:54, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Emijrp: ah, now I get it. The difference between the 60 edits/min and the 30 edits/min tools is that the faster ones only use maxlag for the API queries which perform the edit, whereas the others also apply it when getting editing tokens (which does not do any edit by itself). So you were surely right about your tool respecting maxlag. Sorry about that and thanks again for slowing down! − Pintoch (talk) 14:21, 24 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello! It appears that Emijrpbot has been inactive since 30 April 2019. This is most unfortunate, as it was an incredibly efficient time- and energy-saver in starting items for recently created Wikipedia articles, especially people. Is there a reason for the inactivity, and/or are there plans to revive it (or a similar bot that serves the same purpose)?

Hello. Your bot has been repeatedly adding as an alias to Firouz Nosrat-ed-Dowleh III (Q983416) : «  Prince Firouz Nosrat-ed-Dowleh III », which I had to repeatedly revert. May I remind you that a title or function followed by a name (Mr, Mrs, Prince, King, General, President, Surgeon general, etc) does not constitute an alias of the said name. I hope the bot has not been doing this to too many other pages. Can you please do the necessary. Thanks. --Sapphorain (talk) 20:48, 12 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sapphorain: Why isn't appropiate? Where can I read such Wikidata policy about aliases? Thanks. Emijrp (talk) 18:05, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Alias means « otherwise known as ». As a substantive it means « pseudonym » or «  false name » or «  nickname » or «  pen name » . A title or quality is not part of such: "Mister John Smith" is not an alias for "John Smith". "Jijé (Q741204)" is an alias for "Joseph Gillain" (and conversely), but "Mr Joseph Gillain" is not. «  Charles the Bald (Q71231) » is an alias for "Charles II" (and conversely), but not "King Charles the Bald", nor "King Charles II" .--Sapphorain (talk) 23:54, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

... And may I add that apparently your bot indiscriminately add as aliases unsourced names read in Wikipedia article, and even stupid pranks put there by a vandal, as it recently did in Gabriel Cramer (Q122331) ("Gabriel Guzzy" for Gabriel Cramer). Aliases should not be retrieved automatically by a bot, but should be verified by a human. Can you please do the necessary. Thanks.--Sapphorain (talk) 07:38, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sapphorain: Mister ABC is not comparable to Prince ABC. Mister could apply to any person (male), so it is redundant. Prince ABC is a possible search term, and it helps. Think about General Douglas MacArthur or General Augusto Pinochet. Aliases work as redirects here. Gabriel Guzzy is an unfortunate case, it is a vandalism (thanks for the revert), and it applies to any automated copy of data from Wikipedia to Wikidata. Any bot importing data from Wikipedia (birth dates, names, birth places) can be fooled by vandals, it happens in a little percent of cases. Please, can you show the Wikidata policy on aliases or it is just your opinion/feeling? I think that Prince/General, etc, are valid aliases. Still, in good faith, I am going to stop that bot script by now. Emijrp (talk) 17:47, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Concerning the sense of the word « alias » I don’t really care if a Wikidata policy on aliases exists or not. If I need an information on lexicography or grammar I look in a dictionary or encyclopedia, not in Wikidata which has no authority whatsoever in that matter. The fact that Augusto Pinochet was a general is well documented in his Wikidata page. But this title of general is not part of any name, and a fortiori cannot be part of any alias, by definition of the word « alias ».--Sapphorain (talk) 08:30, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Your view of the scope of aliases is needlessly narrow and myopic, Sapphorain. They're strings which help users, human or software, to find items. Far from "a fortiori cannot be part of any alias, by definition of the word", any string which can or might be used to locate the item is useful and is for WD purposes, an alias. The probability that somewhere, someone or something will try to access the Pinochet article starting from strings such as 'General Pinochet' or 'General Augusto Pinochet' is pretty much certain. It is better that the item is found when either of those strings is the start point, than that the item is not found because you have a limited conception of the functions of an alias. In general the robustness principle applies to aliases: be liberal in what you accept as aliases; don't try to whittle alias lists down on spurious & irrelevant grounds. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:47, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

(after edit conflict) @Sapphorain: Wikidata is a multi-lingual project. Relying on the dictionary definition of a word in one language is a very poor basis for an argument here. If we have a case where there are small variations in meaning between English, Arabic, Russian and Spanish, whose language takes precedence in an argument? That is why the consensus of editors takes precedence here. I am not sure what the consensus is on this subject but the dictionary definition of a word in a single language is not relevant. From Hill To Shore (talk) 19:51, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

If the purpose of an entry called « alias » is «  any string which can or might be used to locate the item », then please do not call it an «  alias », because nearly any other denomination would be more appropriate.

Also, the «  multi-lingual project » argument doesn’t appear convincing. Each language (should) use its correct description for … how did you say? … «  any string which can or might be used to locate the item ».--Sapphorain (talk) 22:28, 15 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

@MSGJ And why are you reverting the aliases added in that edit? Other languages include those unicode emojis as aliases. Why other languages aren't allowed to have them? Emijrp (talk) 17:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Suppose we put aside, for the moment, whether these edits are actually "allowed" or not by policy. What benefit does that edit serve the project? And does your bot have approval to make such edits? I didn't really understand what you meant above when you said "just a test" - please can you explain? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 18:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Wikidata:Aliases doesn't say anything about excluding emojis. That is the nearest thing to a policy about aliases we have. If you want to exclude emojis from being added to aliases, please open a discussion for community input. Currently, they are used in many items.

I don't need a bot request to add aliases to Q2. It is just an item, that is why I said it was a test.

Hello,

I see you are automatically adding claims about citizenships people have. Based on what information do you make such claims? If for example all it is is that a description contains words like "Algerian-German rapper" and then you add claims that they hold an Algerian passport that has high likelihood of claiming wrong information. Double citizenship/passport/laws/immigration are highly complex topics and vary from country to country and each individual case. I would highly suggest to refrain from making such claims where people have migrated from one country to another in their lifetime and without knowing the actual facts.

PamD, I have removed the properties human and female from Q1326205.‎ TSventon (talk) 21:49, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Can you please check this edit? Label is not necessarily the full name. There are many items for people with alias/pseudonym set as the label. -- Meisam (talk) 21:15, 18 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I've noticed that your bot adds Latin script names for Russian names of Kazakhstani citizens instead of Cyrillic variant: diff. Nyuhn (talk) 23:56, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Emijrpbot translates "Palestinian" as "ফিলিস্তিনীয়" in Bengali. But the correct translation is "ফিলিস্তিনি". Please make necessary correction to your bot. — T@hmid (T@lk) 13:17, 9 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I just noticed that the edit where I saw this error had been made in 2017. So, if you already made correction, plase ignore this message. — T@hmid (T@lk) 13:20, 9 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hola, @Emijrp, como operador del bot, te solicito por favor de no insistir en colocar el alias del idioma bretón ya que además de los apellidos del presidente contiene un término (un cubanismo) cuyo significado es un insulto. Ya he limpiado manualmente, deshecho las ediciones (en el resumen de edición mencioné que es un insulto) y el bot insiste en agregarlo. Al artículo en bretón le acabo de corregir su entradilla. Gracias por tu colaboración. Madamebiblio (talk) 16:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hola. Al haber corregido el vandalismo de la página en bretón, ya no será copiado más a Wikidata. Saludos. Emijrp (talk) 16:35, 21 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The date you added to the picture in Ted Schwinden (Q880356) can not be 2022. Se text in [7]. I do not think the bot can use the date in commons since it can be anything. Maundwiki (talk) 20:36, 28 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I have added some more checks. The date in the infobox, EXIF and SDC must be the same. Also, dates after death are discarded. And photos must have valid EXIF (camera manufacturer, to exclude scans pictures not made with a digital camera). Thanks. Emijrp (talk) 06:29, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Similar case: [8]. Photography said to have been taken in 2017, yet the depicted person died in 2014. --Matěj Suchánek (talk) 07:15, 29 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

• Same here. Please, fix it. — Draceane ^talk_contrib. 18:26, 25 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am very worried about the reliability of your bot's edits. In Wayne Wickelgren (Q126733830) it added a date of birth which looks completely incorrect and was never included in the article en:Wayne Wickelgren. Is also added an incorrect occupation. Where did it get this data from? How can we trust all of its other edits? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 10:51, 3 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi there! Wikipedia rolled out mul for labels today, which allows us to specify a default label for an item. By adding a mul label, we no longer need to duplicate that value for each language.

Are we able to update the bot to check if a "mul" label is defined, and avoid adding any new language labels with the same value?

If the value is different from the mul's value, it should continue to be added.

Keep in mind that mul has not been fully rolled out, and mul values shouldn't be added by bots yet.

Thank you for your consideration, and let me know if I can provide any additional details or examples. Iamcarbon (talk) 07:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi, +1. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 11:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Iamcarbon: Hello. As soon as I learnt about one month ago that mul: was going to be deployed, I stopped the scripts which added labels for multiple languages. That was a feature should has existed from the beginning, but it's fine, it's here finally. Anyway, I think it will establish a difference between big languages and small languages. I think that nobody is going to remove English labels, even if they are the same than in mul:. For example, you removed many small languages labels here but you kept en: es: it:, etc. Finally, there is plenty of stuff to do here in Wikidata, my bot will focus now in those areas. Congratulations for the new awesome feature. Cheers! Emijrp (talk) 13:23, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi! Thank you for your work, and I want to double-check that we are not missing anything. This is a today's edit. What needs to be done to prevent the bot from adding these labels? Does it copy from another language label that hasn't been removed then? —putnik 14:30, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

That's from a script that reconciles sitelinks and labels. Now it checks for mul: before adding. Tell me if you see more from now. Thanks. Emijrp (talk) 15:04, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I came here to mention the same thing, thanks for already been on top of it all! :) ·addshore· ^{talk to me!} 10:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

I fixed but I could not see how the bot 31 juli 2021 kl. 04.56 in Samson Colebrooke (Q107722217) added date of birth (P569) 1999 with English Wikipedia as reference. In the English Wikipedia from 04:46, 31 July 2021 it was 10 May 1997. Maundwiki (talk) 12:52, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello Maundwiki. Check the categories, it says 1999 births. Bot parses from categories. Thanks. Emijrp (talk) 16:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, one of the places with typos. Maundwiki (talk) 20:59, 28 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
