Hi I noticed this edit by your bot today but I can't find any corresponding bot requests. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q371362&curid=353382&diff=2248100652&oldid=2201538241

Hi Midleading,

please remove German from your bot run adding generic descriptions for scientists. German language uses Deklination (Q188078) making the description wrong for any gender except male. The community also doesn't support these descriptions as unequivocally as other languages might do.

Thank you in advance!

Midleading (talkcontribs)

This bot should have added male descriptions only to male researchers. If you find male German descriptions being added to some females, feel free to point out to me. This bot is semi-automatic. I'll take care not to repeat a mistake.

Bernice Heiderman (talkcontribs)

Then I would like to ask you for something different: Generally exclude German from your bot runs. Forscher has a narrower meaning in German than researcher in English.

If there is a more specific tag (like marine scientist, etc.) this is preferred as description instead of the term "researcher". I am currently working on a script, but haven't finished it yet.

Alright, glad to hear you have a better tool for that so I don't have to do it myself. Let's make Wikidata a better place, cheers.

I don't think that edits like , are correct. CAS Common Chemistry may give you a 'Get detail failed: Detail not found' error, but this service does not contain all the CAS numbers from CAS Registry, it contains a selection of CAS numbers, about 0,5 million from over 200 million entries.

Wostr (talkcontribs)

In other words: CAS number is correct, but CAS Common Chemistry does not have it (but CAS Registry, which is not a free service, do).

Midleading (talkcontribs)

Okay, I accessed CAS SciFindern and confirmed these CAS numbers are on CAS REGISTRY®.

Hi there! I see that you use that script to create properties. I added it to my JS, but couldn't find out how it works. Could you explain how me to use it? Thanks,

Midleading (talkcontribs)

When you use this tool, a link named "PropertyCreator helper form" will appear in page tools in a property proposal. Clicking on it will bring you to a form where you fill in information from the property proposal. You may preload the form which helps you fill in the form. Check everything is correct, then click "Create" button. Wait until the property is created by checking out your contributions, and finally update the property proposal, notify the users and edit the new property. I didn't have a user JS. I always load it from the browser console when I need to use it. You will find information printed by this tool in the browser console as well.

You are doing excellent work with not notable stuff when adding content to our Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions! But it would be extra good if you would notice the creator (e.g. like I did at User talk:Sulejerry). Such notiying would easifying administrators' work considerably

Midleading (talkcontribs)

Sure.

Why did you undo the change to make P5022 a qualifier?

I noticed you made this edit, undoing my change to instance of (P31) marking the property as a qualifier. Could you say more about why? JesseW (talk) 15:00, 20 September 2022 (UTC)

Midleading (talkcontribs)

I have not seen a property which is not an instance of "Wikidata property (related to ...)"
