The GPS unit on my boat regularly claims an estimated position error of 4
feet after it has acquired its full complement of satellites. This is a
fairly new mid-price GPS unit using up to nine satellites and WAAS. So my
recreational GPS supposedly obtains fifth-decimal-place accuracy. It was

Thank you for your answer, Jane. I had not thought about the fact that some
professions could be better represented than others. I imagined that the
mapping between Wikipedia and Wikidata was ultra-automated. It's very
interesting.

Thank you Jane and everyone else for your speedy responses. Postponing
the creation of Wikidata entities for newly created Wikipedia articles
that may turn out to be short-lived makes total sense. So we will simply
create the corresponding Wikidata entities manually in cases like this.

Depends on the domain of expertise of the volunteer contributors. I work on
paintings and for painters we have included alias names from painter
databases in the alias field on Wikidata, so searches for painters will
probably work better on Wikidata than on any Wikipedia. For writers, this

Hi all,
I am glad that Osma Suominen asked this "newbie" question, since I was
wondering about the same. I'm just looking for compared statistics between
Wikidata, the different editions of Wikipedia and those of DBpedia.
The question I am trying to solve is simply: what is the probability that a
It is not a language, this depends on the bot owners. I would not be
surprised if there projects they never visit.
I am a Russian Wikivoyage admin, and we make sure all newly created items
have a Wikidata link, but I think if we for whatever reason fail to create
an item manually, it never gets bo
So each language wikipedia does this on an ad-hoc basis?

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to ask since when this limit has been in effect. We are
analyzing the logs for the SPARQL endpoint and are seeing quite a change
in the spread of the workload across the month, but it seems to start as
early as the end of may.
Greetings,

Checking the history of that page shows it was recently created. Not sure
how the Finns do this but like the Dutch they probably have a bot that
creates Wikidata items after a month or so has passed (this avoids creating
items for things that get deleted through the "speedy delete" process). You

Hi Osma,
the page youlink to was created on the Finnish Wikipedia on 5 Juky. Usually
Wikidata items are created by bot, and it takes longer for smaller
projects. Apparently, the bot has not yet created the item. An appropriate
way to respond would be te create and item manually.

Hi,
This may be a total newbie question, sorry about that!
While linking YSO places to Wikidata we have stumbled on a few cases
where there is a Wikipedia article about the place we want to link, but
that page has no Wikidata link visible. And it seems that Wikidata
itself does not contain th
