      - Small data, slow data − a SNAIL approach to Wikidata
      
<https://commonists.wordpress.com/2024/10/09/small-data-slow-data-a-snail-approach-to-wikidata/>:
      discusses the value of small, carefully curated datasets in the
era of big
      data. It emphasizes the importance of taking a methodical, "snail-paced"
      approach to data collection and analysis, which can lead to more
meaningful
      and accurate insights. The blogpost also highlights how this approach can
      complement the broader trends of big data, ensuring that detailed,
      high-quality data is not overlooked.

* Tool of the week *

   - *Elemwala (এলেমওয়ালা)* (https://elemwala.toolforge.org): is a
   proof-of-concept interface that allows you to input abstract content and
   get natural language text in a given output language. There may well be
   errors with particular inputs, and the text may not be quite as natural as
   you might expect, but that's where your improvements to your language's
   lexemes, other Wikidata items, and the tool's source
   <https://gitlab.com/mahir256/ninai> code
   <https://gitlab.com/mahir256/udiron> come in!
   - mlscores <https://github.com/johnsamuelwrites/mlscores>: Tool for
   calculating multilinguality score of Wikidata items (including properties).
   E.g. for Wikidata (Q2013) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2013>, the
   scores are - *en*: 99.66%, *fr*: 89.49%, *es*: 84.07%, *pt*:
68.47%. For instance
   of (P31) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P31>, the scores are -
   *en*: 99.86%, *fr*: 87.12%, *es*: 80.83%, *pt*: 61.37%.

* Other Noteworthy Stuff *

   - Launch of WikiProject Deprecate P642
   <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Deprecate_P642>: The
   goal of this project is to prepare for deprecation, and eventual removal,
   of the property of (P642) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P642>.
   Currently, of (P642) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P642> is
   labeled as "being deprecated", meaning its use is still allowed, but
   discouraged. From a peak of around 900,000 uses, the property now has
   around 700,000 uses (see status here
   
<https://query-chest.toolforge.org/redirect/oFt2TvlNg0iASOSOuASMuCO2wMaEqSYC6QGm2YkU08i>).
   Our goal is to reduce that as much as possible in a systematic way, while
   ensuring that appropriate properties exist to replace all valid uses of of
   (P642) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P642>. The latter is key
   to officially deprecating the property. Before *removing* the property,
   we want to get as close to zero uses as possible.

      - PatternsKilkenny
      <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_PatternsKilkenny>
      - Patterns were devotional days on the day of the patron saint
of a parish
      or area or at least an annually occurring day when the people of the
      locality held their personal devotions in a certain pattern (hence the
      name), i.e. "doing the rounds" around trees or other landmarks at the
      sacred site. This project tries to collate the records and memories of
      these patterns for County Kilkenny.
      - Deprecate P642
      <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:WikiProject_Deprecate_P642> -

      catalog sacred spaces in the Roman province Britannia between 43
