En atelier ou hors atelier, les collègues me demandent comment rédiger une biographie de scientifique sur #Wikipédia.
Voici quelques pistes issues de mon expérience :

After I moved @wiki and other #Wikipedia bots from PHP to Node.js, the execution time decreased by roughly half.

Does anyone have ideas of other useful bots for Mastodon?

Rzadko bo rzadko, ale czasami dopada mnie wikipedioholizm, połączony z melomanią. Przedwczoraj w ramach akcji CEE Spring przetłumaczyłem artykuł o "100 najlepszych słowackich płytach wszech czasów" - plebiscycie z 2007, w którym wzięła udział cała śmietanka słowackiej muzyki rockowej. No i sobie paru płyt słucham, bo z całego zestawienia kojarzyłem tylko Collegium Musicum.

Plebiscyt wygrał zespół Prúdy z płytą "Zvoňte, zvonky" z 1969. Chwilę później się podzielili, a Marián Varga założył właśnie Collegium Musicum. No, ale słucham, słucham, tak mi w uszy weszło, że nie mogąc spać, napisałem po północy artykuł o tej płycie. 😉

Tytułowa piosenka z płyty:

The changing groupings of artists over time are an example of networks in action. I think graphing these is a good example of the possibilities of using #wikidata to explore affinities.

This diagram provides a view of the associative network of artists to societies. It has been simplified to focus on those artists with #wikipedia articles and who were members of more than one society: without that filter, the diagram becomes unreadable.

What a bizarre conversation. OP claimed that the Palestinian Authority is not related to the State of Palestine using #Wikipedia as a source, then I pointed out that the president of the PA and SoP are the same, and even Wikipedia says that the PA has pretty much become synonymous with the Palestinian state in 2013 when the PA has directed that all official documents it produced is to be marked under the name "State of Palestine". Then he (yes I checked) accused me of not supporting Palestinian statehood "based on my attitude towards the PA" without any receipts.. and I have never said anything of that sort here? ​:SanaeConfuzzled:​ And of course #blocked me so I couldn't reply (or even quote post). ​:reimu_sigh:​

In this video, I also go into the idea of "verifiability, not truth" — a philosophy that is controversial both on- and off-wiki.

Thanks to noticing a @wikipedia edit by @11011110 on my watchlist, I realized I should see if this year's Fellowships had been awarded yet. They had indeed, a week ago. So I created a list of this year's fellows, as I have for the previous two years:

If you're looking for editing experience, please have a look and create or improve articles for the talented people on this list!

Vu qu'apparemment c'est la saison des projets, mémoires et autres examens, un petit rappel non pas pour les étudiant(e)s mais pour les enseignant(e)s : ne demandez pas de faire un article comme sujet d'examen, surtout si vous le faites n'importe comment et sans aucun suivi.

Katherine Maher (ex Wikimedia) sums up the problem with AI (at the other place):

“AI that benefits all humanity” without a single woman or person of color on the OpenAI board. Where have I heard this story before?

It would make the article a lot easier to understand if you wrote "demonstrable falsehood" instead of "source-reference (target) divergence".

@macgraveur @b3d2c Oui ce modèle est très bien fait et donne très envie de l'appliquer dans (avec toujours la crainte de se faire reprocher la nature de ces sources 😬).

Est-ce pour vous complémentaire de ce qu'on peut faire aussi dans pour signaler des ?
