We need more neutral opinions here. I've followed instructions here and at Wikipedia:Feedback request service and to used the user lists there. I've sent a message for neutral input to everyone active recently and available for 10 per month or more on the lists in the Language and linguistics, Media, the arts, and architecture, Society-sports-culture, Unsorted and All-RFCs lists, none of whom have interacted with me before, that I can remember. Have done my best to act in good faith to try to get more neutral opinions. Please help! Thanx! SergeWoodzing (talk) 14:57, 25 April 2016 (UTC)

  • Wikidata, a stable source for disambiguation items?
• Events/Blogs/Press
  • Find, Prioritize, and Recommend: An article recommendation system to fill knowledge gaps across Wikipedia
  • Upcoming: CSVconf
  • Upcoming: Open Tech Summit
• Other Noteworthy Stuff
  • Commons now has arbitrary access
  • Work on ORES to make vandalism fighting easier is progressing well. "Damaging" and "goodfaith" models for Wikidata are now online.
  • Wikimind
  • New coverage maps have been created (see thumbnails)
  • We have new images you can use to indicate your website/app/service is using data from Wikidata. (2 of the files have a problem still. We're working on a fix and will reupload.)

    

• Did you know?
  • Newest properties: Loop ID, sound power, 3DMet ID, locality or place, Index Hepaticarum ID, clearance, ASF KID Cave Tag Number, power consumed, net tonnage, connects with, Czech neighbourhood ID code, longest span, aerodrome reference point, Mercalli intensity scale
  • Category reports on without claims by site now link to PetScan's fast "has no statements"-option. A report for your preferred Wikipedia can be added.
  • Query examples: software with most versions (source), oldest software (source), map of U1 stations in Berlin (source)
• Development
  • Created the first MediaInfo entity through the API (screenshot, a bit more background)
  • Substantially reduced server load for item and property displaying (phab:T132662)
  • There are currently some issues with the order of latitude/longitude inn coordinates in the query service map visualization. It will be fixed tonight.

  • Moved forward with internationalization of the query service interface (not on translatewiki.net yet but being worked on)

  • Fixed a bug where admins got a blank page when trying to view deleted revisions (phabricator:T132645)
  • Investigating issues with bad suggestions for properties when adding new statements (phabricator:T132839)
