Congratulations for the stub creation, they are good (and better that those handmade stubs in other languages). About the Wikidata placeholder project, it sounds very interesting. 2015-09-06 2:40 GMT+02:00 Anders Wennersten : > Geonames [1] is a database which holds

Craig has a good point, but this is a lovely example of two projects planning on very different timescales. The most important countries for a future Wiki Loves Monuments campaign are some of the very countries that fundraising could have had this September, the ones where there has not yet

Hoi, As always I have been a big fan of the wonderful work that has been done. My reaction was very much for what I perceived as a negative reaction from Ricordisamoa. Telling you to stop and become part of Wikidata is a bit off. Asking for collaboration and work towards a common goal, a goal that

At svwp we work closely with Wikidata and see it as the natural base for our article substance. And we follow closely Phabricator and are eager to implement it as soon as it will be feasible to implement. And Lsjbot is in no way counteractive to these. It will be easy to exchange Lsjbot

I think everyone here worked in good faith, and everyone started with patience in this situation. Suggesting otherwise suggests a lack of empathy. But we should not close our eyes when the community is being played in a non fair way, and I then mean NOT the bocking banner, but how the interaction
