Hello, Yes that WAS a parsing error, I noticed (someone reported similar error in talk page of my bot a while ago), I fixed and I'm writing the correcting bot, and because I have put some quality control units(!) in my code, the death place has to be a geographical feature (P107=618123) or doesn't have P107 which the latter happened here. So I need to make my bot to be more precise.
I need to add, task of my bot is harvesting information from infoboxes i.e. turning human-written data to machine-processable data, and this bot is working in a very large scale (It has 5.3M edits) so It's not a strange thing that bot makes some error Best On 9/23/13, Maarten Dammers <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Andy, > > Op 23-9-2013 17:18, Andy Mabbett schreef: >> >> There's a problem with Dexbot adding bogus values. >> >> For example, place of death = "Welsh People" on the entry for Catrin >> Collier (still very much alive): >> >> http://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q13416998&diff=72279065&oldid=49769674 >> >> >> >> Since I have no broadband, due to an ISP failure, I can't post about >> this on-Wiki. >> > Looking at the source: > | death_date = <!-- {{Death date and age|YYYY|MM|DD|1948|MM|DD|df=y}} --> > | death_place = > | residence = > | nationality = [[Welsh people|Welsh]] > > Probably parsing error here.
