[Wikidata] Re: Change list policy for call for papers postings?

[Estermann Beat]

Dear Jan,

Personally, I haven’t been particularly annoyed by the amount of “spam” to this 
list.
To me, a “reactive” moderation approach is absolutely fine to me. List admins 
could just let senders know after the fact that off-topic messages are not 
welcome.
Senders known to post mainly unrelated stuff can be put on individual 
moderation.

So, the current practice as you describe it, looks perfect to me.

Cheers,
Beat

Beat, do you suggest that all messages should be moderated?

Because right now it is not, and I was hoping that we could keep like that and 
just ask people to not spam the list (and if they do, put them individually on 
moderation).

Dear all,

If there is an obvious thematic link to the topic of the list, then let the 
message through; if not, discard it; if in doubt, ask the sender to clarify the 
link.

This should go for any message sent to the list; there is no need for any 
specific rules regarding CfPs, event announcements, etc.

My 2 cents,
Beat

Hi,

Maybe not a full ban (or maybe, I wouldn't be against it) but at least some 
clear rules to avoid these spam.

My 2 cents:
An example of mail that should absolutely be avoided (and not just on this 
mailing list) is when a similar mail is sent several times in a short timespan. 
We had almost the same mail sent in 2 days this week ! (not to blame this 
person in particular, this is not the first time it happens and it's bad 
communication).
Also, senders should strive to make an effort to tell us how the call is 
related and/or could benefit to/from Wikidata (very often it's unclear, we 
shouldn't have to guess why we are receiving these calls).

Cheers, ~nicolas

In regards to calls for papers, do we want to ban them altogether, to
set standards to allow some of them, or leave them be as they are now?

Re: [Wikidata] Quick Statements Tool: How to add publication date of sources

[Estermann Beat]

Dear Magnus,

What do you suggest we do in the meanwhile?


-  Wait with the data ingestion process until the overhaul has been 
done? - Do you have an idea when this could be the case?



-  Ingest the data, providing the source without its “publication 
date”? – Do you think it will be possible to add the “publication date” of the 
source at a later stage by re-running the tool when it has been improved? Or is 
it better to leave out the source altogether for the time being?

Cheers,
Beat

The tool is missing several functions, and requires a general overhaul/rewrite. 
Haven't gotten around to it.

Hi,

I’ve recently tried in vain to add a “publication date” qualifier to a 
reference, using the Quick Statements Tool. I’ve posted the issue on Magnus’ 
Talk Page, but haven’t gotten any response so far:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Magnus_Manske#Quick_Statements_Tool:_Adding_publication_date_of_sources

Does anyone know how to do this? Or can you suggest any other tools, work 
arounds etc. to properly add the source, including the publication date, in the 
course of a larger data ingestion job?

I’m not a software programmer; thus low-threshold tools or newbie-proof 
instructions would be appreciated. ;-)

Cheers,
Beat
