Disambiguation page in label

Hi, I saw that your bot has done some items where the Finnish label has "(täsmennyssivu)", which means "(disambiguation page)". Could you please exclude this in future. --Stryn (talk) 12:52, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Should be fixed now. --Sk!d (talk) 17:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Sk!dbot is generating duplicates

Hi Sk!d, I requested already deletions of some of them:

LG --Sixsi6ma (talk) 16:46, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The problem is the Articles are not duplicates. They are not linked in the wikipedias. My bot cant find the linkings between them. This has to be manually done. --Sk!d (talk) 17:11, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

trailing parentheses

Hi, could your bot remove the content beween parenteses at the end of labels like "John Doe (philosopher), the way user:MerlBot do ? In the vast majority of cases it should not be included in the label. --Zolo (talk) 17:16, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

In which language? I am currently just removing the brackets (except for disambiguation page where I set a descriptions) in English, because I think this helps to find the right Item easier and if you set a description you could easy correct the Label. --Sk!d (talk) 17:23, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
As my language is set to French, I have mostly noticed it for French, but I think it holds for all languages just as it does for English. It is true that removing the brackets is quick and easy to do manually but there are really many of them, so it will take a long time to do completely it commletely in all languages (and I suspect many descriptions will be added by bots as well). --Zolo (talk) 07:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
I will tell my bot to remove brackets in french. Other langauges have less articles and e.g. in German Merlbot adds a section with labels with brackets Wikidata:Labels_and_descriptions_task_force/de#Bezeichnung_mit_Klammer I think he could do this for French too. My bot also remove common brackets when he later adds a description in german. --Sk!d (talk) 12:11, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
Ok thanks, I will try to ask him. --Zolo (talk) 14:13, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Gujarati Wikipedia

I don't know exactly what your bot do but I am asking for help regarding Gujarati Wikipedia. Gujarati is a state language of Gujarat state, India used by 600 million. We have currently 22,300+ articles in Gujarati. Almost 15,800 are related to villages and towns in Gujarat. They are properly categorised by using Categories indicating tehsils(administrative divison). Only some of the articles are added in Wikidata, majority are missing. Can you help by adding them? And if possible then adding description in Gujarati telling a village in Gujarat or else based on their Categories as almost 15800 are in same category needing same description. What you say? Thank you. Cheers. --Nizil Shah (talk) 21:50, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Yes this is possible. You just have to tell me whats the corret language code, "gu"? Then I will add all pages to Wikidata (if there are no interwikiconflicts). Should my Bot create autmatic aliases from the redirects? Should my bot remove brackets or not? Could you tell my what my bot should add as description if he finds out that the page is a disambiguation page. Later you have to tell my whats the category/categories and what should be the description/descriptions. It is also possible that my bot deletes one ore more special patterns in the label (brackets or what so ever). --Sk!d (talk) 23:43, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for already start adding items.
Language code: gu
Redirect as alias: Yes
Remove brackets and its content in labels: Yes
Disambiguation Page: It is hilarious to know that we have only one Disambiguation page and already added it to wikidata!
Description:
We have 15,800 articles on villages in Gujarat state out of total 22,300+ articles. They are categorised by Category: શ્રેણી:ગુજરાતનાં ગામો (means Categories:Village in Gujarat). So it will help identify in which article you should add discription.
There is also category in each article saying its administrative division શ્રેણી:<name of division> તાલુકો which is a part of District category as a subcategory, શ્રેણી:<name of division> જિલ્લો‎ which is subcategory of શ્રેણી:ગુજરાતના જિલ્લાઓ (means districts of Gujarat state). So hierarchy from large to small is: Gujarat state> District > Taluka(admin division)> Village....in Gujarati: ગુજરાત>જિલ્લો‎>તાલુકો>ગામો
So based on category and subcategory hierarchy, Description is: A village of <name> Taluka(admin division) in <name> District of Gujarat state......In Gujarati:ગુજરાતના <name જીલ્લા>ના <name તાલુકા>નું એક ગામ
Note:Description will need a small change if it is written based on a category as જિલ્લો‎ into જિલ્લા, તાલુકો into તાલુકા
So, is it possible to add description in those 15800 article by bot?
If need any help, tell me on my talk page.--Nizil Shah (talk) 11:15, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
I added the articles when User:Kondicherry asked me over irc. Hm I think it could be possible to add the descriptions via bot, but I have to say I have currently not enough time to programme my bot to do this correctly (my bot now can only add descriptions depending on one category). I could try it in about a month, when I have more time to do this. You could ask other bot useres if they could do it faster. User:Merlissimo is very experienced with his bot. Another Problem is: Are the categories all on the page? or only the subcategory and the subcategory is in the right categories? As i cant read and understand your language I don't know what's the correct category. --Sk!d (talk) 12:35, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
Its ok..I will ask User:Merlissimo for the same. Thanks a lot for adding so many articles. If I need any further help, I will ask for it. Cheers.--Nizil Shah (talk) 20:02, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Hok, Sweden

Check the labels your bot are adding. See for example the English label of [1]. Jeblad (talk) 16:31, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

My bot only removes brackets at the end of a lemme as it is hardly to tell if the leftover after a comma is important for the label. Should I skip setting the label for en instead if there is a comma? --Sk!d (talk) 19:54, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
Your bot still adds texts which are in brackets. E.g. Q3817302. --Stryn (talk) 12:55, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes my bot currently only removes brackets in the English language. I am not familiar with the rules in other languages. In which language do you want to get the brackets removed too? --Sk!d (talk) 14:39, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

Description into Spanish in the disambiguation pages

Your bot Sk!dbot add the Spanish description for disambiguation pages like Q881460. It add "pána de desambiguació", but is wrong, the correct form is "página de desambiguación". And can your bot also add the Galician description? The Galician description is "páxina de homónimos" --Vivaelcelta (talk) 12:41, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

The Spanish description had been fixed a while ago. Could you tell me the correct language code for Galic? --Sk!d (talk) 12:48, 4 February 2013 (UTC)
It is Galician and your code is gl. And can your bot change the incorrect descriptions? --Vivaelcelta (talk) 22:25, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
Thank you. Currently my bot is only adding Interwikis. But the next time I will run my bot to add descriptions I will try to change the false es descriptions. --Sk!d (talk)
You are welcome. And will your bot add the gl descriptions for new items? --Vivaelcelta (talk) 13:18, 7 February 2013 (UTC)
Yes if there is a gl link to a disambiguation site. Because of performance/conflict issues it is not possible to add a description if there is no site link to the given language. --Sk!d (talk) 14:26, 7 February 2013 (UTC)

bot question

Hi Sk!d. Glad you have a bot working here.

I just noticed that your bot added a statement "is a = Benin" (a country), which doesn't make sense, to here. It's good that it's creating it as a geographical feature, but could you take a look at that diff? We don't have clarity on what property to use for location yet, as far as I know. Espeso (talk) 02:58, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

I dont think so. My bot cant add any properties. Unfortunately the Propertie diff system does not work properly atm (should be fixed in the next deployment afaik). So it looks like this Statment had been created by me. I think maybe User:Legobot has added this Statement, if you could pleas contact him. --Sk!d (talk) 09:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
I think you're right. Since I left that comment I discovered Legobot's user-driven system of adding items, properties, values based on Wikipedia categories. Sorry to bother ya. Espeso (talk) 09:40, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Q2944101

Hi, I'm sorry there is something that it's not so clear to me. You want to distinguish disambiguation pages from name pages, but this is not the case in most of the wiki, as you can see looking at the current interlinks. Then you mean also that we have to create a page for each different spelled name such as Ludovic, Ludwig, Ludovico, Ludwik... Isn't it? And what about fr:Ludovic?--Ermanon (talk) 19:06, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes and no. If there is a Wiki where there are a disambiguation page and a namepage we have to split it. If this does not exist I am not sure. But disambiguation pages should be only linked if they have the same title in most of the cases. In some cases it might be ok to link translations but this could make problems e.g. en:Monkey_(disambiguation) should you add translations like the polnish "Małpa" or the exact word like de:Monkey (translation would be de:Affe which is also a disambiguation).
Could you add all conflicted pages to Wikidata:Interwiki_conflicts#Luigi / Louis this might be some work. --Sk!d (talk) 20:25, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Falschreibungsseiten

Hallo Sk!d, Falschreibungsseiten sollten nach Möglichkeit keine Wikidata Items bekommen Problematik siehe hier kannst du deinen Bot so konfigurieren das er das hier gelistete ignoriert beim Import? Gruß?--Saehrimnir (talk) 15:12, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Da mein Bot die seiten nicht Parsed sondern nur die Interwikilinks sich anschaut ist das leider nicht möglich. Jedoch hat mein Bot schon alle Seiten aus der deutschen Wikipedia die keinen interwikiconflict beinhalten importiert, weshalb in naher Zukunft ein zweiter Lauf vermutlich erst einmal nicht stattfinden wird. --Sk!d (talk) 17:25, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Eigentlich geht es bei folgendem Fehler eben nicht um Falschschreibungen, sondern nur um eine Weiterleitung. Ggf. ist der Fehler ja schon behoben: Dein Bot hat (bereits am 4. Januar) das Item Q2447561 (TrackMania 2) mit dem Eintrag zur WL TrackMania 2 erstellt, obwohl zuvor schon zuvor das Item Q813305 (TrackMania²) existierte. Das nur zur Info, ich lass dann das Item löschen, wenn du es nicht mehr brauchst.
Beste Grüße, --#Reaper (talk) 17:03, 26 February 2013 (UTC) PS: Danke für deine Arbeit! :-)
Eigentlich dürfte es gar nicht möglich sein Weiterleitungen als Item zu erstellen, das ist von Wikidatas seite nicht möglich und auch mein bot sollte Weiterleitungen überspringen. Das Problem war das es einen LA für die Weiterleitung vom 28 Dez bis zum 9. Jan gab samt Textbaustein. Deswegen wurde die seite am 4. Jan von meinem Bot nicht als Weiterleitung erkannt. Ich habe das Item bereits selbstängi gelöscht vielen dank für deinen Hinweis. --Sk!d (talk) 20:12, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Ah, danke ebenso. Letzteres hatte ich mir auch schon gedacht aber vergessen zu erwähnen. Ggf. sollte man (vllt du, ich weiß nicht an wen ich mich wenden soll, BugZila?) das ja an betreffende Stelle melden, weil es ja dann auch ein Fehler (ok, wäre hilfreich Interwiki-Probleme zu lösen ;) ) in der WD-Software ist. Beste Grüße, --#Reaper (talk) 20:24, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
Ich glaube wenn man versucht das Item zu ändern merkt das Wikidata das es nur noch eine Weiterleitung ist. Ebenso gibt es schon Bots die links prüfen ob sie eine Weiterleitung sind und diese dann ggf. ändern in so einem Fall müsst dann eigentlich dieses Item gefunden werden, da das ziel der Weiterleitung schon wo anders verlinkt ist. --Sk!d (talk) 21:44, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Gadget-autoEdit.js

Hi.

In this gadget, after the last item added to transdata (line 865), there is an extraneous comma. most sane browsers do not care all that much, but it throws ie8 (or rather, ie prior to version 9, AND ie9 in "compatibility mode") out of whack. removing this extra comma should have 0 effect on sane browsers, and it might make ie a bit happier.

Bot: Item is a disambiguation page

Hi Sk!d, is your bot still adding "disambiguation page"? (I found in Wikidata:Labels and descriptions task force/en a lot of items where you have - thankfully! - added a description.) I added to some of them the GND entity type "Wikipedia disambiguation page" (Q4167410). Quite boring job ;) Can your bot add this info, when he changes the description? Thanx --ThorstenX1 (talk) 10:57, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

I am currently pausing the task. My bot checks for each potential disambiguation item if every sitelink has the template on it and posts conflict to User:Sk!dbot/disambiguation page conflict. This list grows fast. You could help checking items. Maybe the conflict is already solved or a site got moved and you have to correct the link or the linking is correct and maybe only the template is missing. Then you can remove the item from the list. --Sk!d (talk) 11:31, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

The correct values for this property are only the once listed here: Property_talk:P107#Table.
Nice job, but does your bot really delete wrong values completely (as Infovarius says)? Or would this also appear on /conflic? Thank you. --#Reaper (talk) 21:59, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
No my bot does not delete properties it only change values if he think he knows what the correct value is. All other conflicts get reported. I deleted some wrong value. If there was a correct value like Person an another value like Actor. I deleted Actor, know I will use "is a". --Sk!d (talk) 22:17, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
You've deleted property "taxon" from many items (e.g. Q19088). I don't care what kind of P it should be, but it should be. Infovarius (talk) 04:14, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi Infovarius, the main purpose of P107 is to work with controlled vocabulary. It's used in other databases like Wikipedia, Commons and various library catalogs. If we would start to add other items, we would lose the advantage of this property. 29 March you voted to delete this property. So you should know how it works. --Kolja21 (talk) 19:42, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm talking about saving my (and other users') work uselessly waisted for P107. Information should not be deleted but moved to P31. Infovarius (talk) 20:38, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
We can't move bad entries to any kind of property without checking them. I don't mind if you make errors, but blaming other for your bad work is absurd. --Kolja21 (talk) 21:54, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
I don't consider my edits as errors. That time russian (my main language) description for this property was like "main type of item" which I expected to use in intuitive way. Now I see that P107 doesn't supply such needs and I will use something more useful, at least P31. I suspect that many users had a similar problem, hence a bulk of information (which doesn't suit GND "controlled vocabulary") is stored in P107. As P31 is the most appropriate replacement for P107 (at least now), I earnestly requst to copy/move information there. This refers to Sk!d and you, Kolja21. [5] is a bad action in this light. Should that. --Infovarius (talk) 10:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
I know that now P107 is full of bad entries like "person" or "term" (the latter doesn't make sense and can be freely skipped), but I hope that crowd-sourcing for P31 will solve those isolated inconsistencies. Infovarius (talk) 10:22, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

template subpages

Hi Sk!d. As your bot was importing pages from en.wiki, it created a bunch of items for useless bits of templates, docpages and other junk that, while technically useful on en.wiki, have no place on Wikidata and are actually harmful because they clog the search results (which is a real problem because the search engine currently sucks). I've nominated a few for deletion but clearly this is hopeless as there are probably thousands of pages like this. For example, Sk!dbot created an item for en:Template:Australian politics/party colours/Socialist Alternative and I noticed because it came up in searches for "Socialist Party". As a first approximation, I think all en.wiki imports of the form Template:Foo/Bar should be deleted. Maybe that's overkill but if there are truly useful template subpages that really deserve an item (I don't expect there will more than a handful), they can be recreated down the road. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

I started importing from other namespaces because of a request (see #Import pages of others namespaces), but stopped it. I see the problem but I dont know if deleting is correct. Currently WD:N allows those items you should start to discuss this on a global place. I think you could say only items with more then one sitelink for templates should be created. I hope the search will be fixed soon so this should not be a problem in the future. Currently my bot will not import any templates. If the community has clear opinion how to handle those en-templates on wikidata, I might start the importing for templates again. --Sk!d (talk) 17:30, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
I'm joining to Pichpich's opinion. Very technical subtemplates and categories for them (amazingly how many junky categories with 1-2 items en-wiki have) should not be notable for Wikidata. Infovarius (talk) 09:50, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Milky Way

I believe this your edit was erroneous. Milky Way is not an abstract class of objects (it's a collection instead), so it can't be a subclass of anything. --4th-otaku (talk) 08:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

It's good news that Sk!d finally tries to save property information! Not blame him for choosing not very exact new property :) It should just have been "instance of" insdead of "subclass of". But it's easier (I suppose) to correct the property than to fill (or invent) from the scratch. Infovarius (talk) 09:53, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Nein natürlich nicht vielen dank. Mein Bot stellt neue Seiten einfach am untersten Ende der Seite an. D.h. so lange du unten Platzlässt ist das alles kein problem.

subtemplates

Hi Sk!d. Wikidata:Notability has been updated to reflect the fact that items for subtemplates should be excluded. I'm not sure how to delete the existing ones but I know Sk!dbot created thousands of them and I suppose it's not too hard for you to get at least those deleted. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 21:34, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Only administrator can delete pages, bots can't. Maybe you can contact User:Legobot he is already adding bulkrequests for empty pages. Maybe he can add his code to request these for subtemplates too. Btw can you give me the link to the discussion about excluding template subpages? --Sk!d (talk) 22:20, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
The change was made by user Zolo [9] after a very short discussion at Wikidata_talk:Notability although support for the idea was also expressed above by Infovarius.

Too eager creation of new items

Hi, I was going to link the article fi:Coronel Oviedo (created yesterday at 18:34 UTC) to Q935504, but your bot had already created a new item Q11855526 for it. It doesn't make much sense to create one-article items for new unlinked articles automatically (unless you are sure that there are no other language variants). --Silvonen (talk) 03:42, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

My bot is currently trying to import all wikipedia article sites. So it runs every page only once. It does not know when the page got created. Removing a link from an item is not difficult. I deleted the empty item for you. The bot does not search for new articles with purpose. --Sk!d (talk) 07:29, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
Is Sk!dbot the only bot doing this? This sounds like something that should perhaps be done automatically only once for each project. Merging the items may be easy for us, but it is confusing for many non-technical users who don't quite understand the structure of Wikidata. --Silvonen (talk) 12:56, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
AFAIK Sk!dbot does over 90% of creating new articles. I don't know what I will do. Currently it is a one time run starting from bigger to smaller wikipedias. I think this will be done in about 1-2 months. Maybe I will start this progress again (This would be faster) so that every 3-5 months every page is checked if it has a wikidata item or I maybe I will change it to watch for new pages and auto add them after some days. --Sk!d (talk) 13:03, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm having a similar problem. I'm going through a lot of new pages on my home wiki (w:nn:) at the moment, trying to add interwiki links.

I already tried to imported all pages from eswiki a few weeks ago. But I can run the task again. My bot skips pages if there is a interwikiconflict. It could be also possible that these pages did not get created because of some wikidata item creation conflict. Some pages won't get created because wikidata says there is already a page with this sitelink even if there is none. I will tell you when my bot did another eswiki run.

Interwiki bot request

HelloSk!d, I noticed your bot is active with moving interwikis from Wikipedias to Wikidata. Is it possible to request for handling some interwikis on the Dutch (nl) Wikipedia first? In specific the interwikis from the template (sjabloon) namespace and the category (categorie) namespace, later perhaps also the article namespace. Currently I am working on cleaning all these pages from interwikis, solving all interwiki conflict, but I noticed that the moving of interwikis has slowed down the past days, so I hope that the moving of interwikis can be completed. Also it would be nice if we can get a list of templates and other pages where there is some interwiki conflict. Can you help me with this request? Thanks in advance!

Your actions today

Hi, you have created a great number of entries in Wikidata for the articles in Hungarian Wikipedia today. However a lot of these entries are completely wrong, since instead of adding links to existing entries you have created new, duplicate entries, which we have to fix now creating additional workload to WD admins. I suggest you stop your bot on huwiki because it creates more trouble than help. Alternatively, DO NOT create entries in Wikidata for articles without traditional interwiki links. Thanks for your understanding. Csigabi (talk) 20:03, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I came here to basically say the same thing about Simple Wikipedia. Your bot has created a whole bunch of new items instead of adding the wikilinks to existing entries. Especially on Simple English, yesterday it was so easy because the titles are basically all the same as on English Wikipedia. Now, I'm getting all of these damn conflicts.

P107: Liste mit Beispielen

Hi Sk!d, gute Idee, unter Property_talk:P107#Examples auf die Liste mit Beispielen zu verlinken. Ich habe die Liste komplett überarbeitet und einen Wert für alle "non article" items angelegt. Damit kann jetzt jedes Objekt mit der Eigenschaft P107 versehen werden. Weißt du, wie man das Update unter Template:Entities/text für die Übersetzung freischaltet? --Kolja21 (talk) 21:35, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Ich denke das dieser zusätzlich Wert falsch ist. Es gibt diesen GND Type einfach nicht und P107 ist dafür da Items klar nach GND-typen zu strukturierung und nicht nach irgend etwas anderen. Dafür sollte man eine eigenes Property "main type" oder "general type" oder "item type" (wie auch immer) erstellen. Wenn es keinen passendn GND-type für in item gibt ist der eintrag "no value" bzw "Kein Wert" möglich dadurch ist es auch so schon mögliche bei jedem Item diese Eigenschaft hinzuzufügen. Ich habe aus diesen Gründen Q13384863 zur löschung vorgeschlagen. Änderungen an sich werden von Übersetzungsadministratoren freigeschalten. --Sk!d (talk) 23:31, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Item Q8561302

Hello, this item was created by your bot and it prevents adding wikilinks to es:Diáspora (desambiguación). So I removed the link to the Spanish page. Hope your bot don't strike back. Thanks. I'm Capucine8. --79.145.153.50 21:24, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

My bot only created this item becaus it was not linked to the other sites. As you merged the two items I deleted the empty one. --Sk!d (talk) 21:42, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Your bot is causing extra work

Many users have mentioned here that it is a problem when your bot creates Wikidata entries for new Wikipedia pages that already have corresponding Wikidata entries. We try to add a new article to an existing entry, only to be told that we can't. Then we have to click on a link to find out what the problem is, then go to the entry the bot created and move the article to the existing entry. Then we have to request deletion of the entry the bot created. This is very annoying and should not be necessary. I realize that a bot can't tell whether there is an existing Wikidata entry for a page (even same-named pages don't necessarily match), but the better action here is not to create a page page at all. Please make your bot stop creating the single-article entries entriesthat are making our work harder. --Auntof6 (talk) 20:14, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

My bot is paused this task over a month ago. --Sk!d (talk) 20:26, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
OK, then I must just be finding the issue from past changes. I apologize for not realizing that. --Auntof6 (talk) 09:35, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Setting in the administrative unit to England

Why are you setting lots of things to be in the administrative unit "England" instead of using the *actual* administrative units they're part of? Property_talk:P131 is somewhat unclear but the two things people are suggesting is to either add the first level above or to add all levels and you're doing neither of those. And England is not really a proper administrative unit anyway... --Nikki (talk) 18:06, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

My bot only changes existing entries. The Task got requested here. As Englans is false value. My bot does not have any informations where the item is located, user are always good for specifying the location. --Sk!d (talk) 19:14, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Re: Created gene wikidata Items

Hi, This is Chinmay, a GSOC student working under Crowbio Organisation[11].Our main aim to capture infobox fields(PBB templates)[12] onto wikidata items . I have notice that your bot has created many Gene wiki items. For ex: [13] , [14]

I just wanted to confirm whether your bot has created the entire 10,000+ PBB templates onto wikidata items. --Chinmay26 (talk) 20:15, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

I cant confirm this, if there was a interwikiconflict my bot skipped the article. I also only added items until may. So newer once did not get created by me or are maybe missing. But my bot tried to create pages for most wikis (top 50) and as this seems to be a topic with less interwikiconflicpotential, most of the items (if there is a wikipedia entry) should exist in wikidata. --Sk!d (talk) 20:27, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
