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

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

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
