Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikidata property for non-fiction characters

Hi, In this item the property Characters (P674) has been used for a non-fiction literary work, whereas the property is said to be related to works of fiction. Now, I am confused, if P674 is allowed for

Re: [Wikisource-l] Djvu format fate

I have heard about this issue many times, and it always seemed important, but also seems too hard to understand and act on. We could at least discuss possibilities online and at upcoming conferences. Could we distill these issues online on a wiki page somewhere? Or is it already done? (1)

Re: [Wikisource-l] Djvu format fate

Perhaps. But the case would need to be made (in more detail, and more compellingly) to the people who could decide that, and none of them are on this list. You'd probably have to convince managers of technical teams at WMF if there is to be a chance of prioritizing it. A. On Fri, Apr 6,

Re: [Wikisource-l] Djvu format fate

What do you think about aproaching ABBYY and explaining that this is really important to us? Simply keeping feature usually is not a big issue. Can we ask Foundation to approach them? 2018-04-06 15:59 GMT+04:00 Peter Meyer : > I have heard about this issue many times, and

Re: [Wikisource-l] Wikidata property for non-fiction characters

Hi, If I understand correctly, Bodhisattwa, you want the same thing as P674 but for people and non-fiction (instead of character and fiction). AFAIK, that doesn't exist yet but you should ask for it (on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal ). Cdlt, ~nicolas 2018-04-06 17:54
