Dear all,
I am happy to announce the second release of Wikidata Toolkit [1], the
Java library for programming with Wikidata and Wikibase. This release

Sure, that's possible. Maybe this is even necessary. I had suggested to

Hello,
I've noticed that there are a lot of script errors towards the bottom of
Wikidata:List of properties/Summary table
I suspect that this is caused by the same thing mentioned in this email:

This is already done by Wikibase. There should be a data item link in the
toolbox in the sidebar if the item is connected.
I have no idea how I missed that. Well that should save me some time. I was
about to go make a gadget to replicate that functionality.

This is good news, and helps a lot — thanks for taking the time to respond Joe.
It may be a lot of work, but it would be great if you could reference the
actual property names by URL for the properties you mentioned.

Even where there is complete agreement that a human settlement is a 'city'
there is still usually a question over the population of that city. The

Just a note that Wikiquote now has Phase 2 access. Some communities may

Hoi,
I fear that when words like mereology are expected to be understood, we
will fall into the trap where our communities fear what we have been
sniffing. It will just alienate them.
Part of is something that is understood. There may be academic reasons that

Hi Gerard,
I think we should not aim for a perfect system, just for a better one.
In our case we don't need to reproduce all cases, just identify the most
relevant ones and to clarify when to use each and label/describe them
clearly.

It is stated that there are no qualifiers included. In one of the articles
you write that it is to be understood that the vailidity of the information

What is the value of these RDF exports with the qualifiers missing?

Hoi,
As far as I am concerned, it is relevant to compare settlements in
whatever country they are. A British city is always located in the United
Kingdom and even more precise it is in the administrative unit of a
county or whatever. When it is a city for historical reasons, this can be
