Wikidata Authority control meeting

Hello, The doodle poll has spoken, please mark your calendars for Thursday 28th March 2013, at 3pm California time.

Let's have a discussion about how we'd like to discuss. The simplest ways are IRC or Skype, Google Hangout, Webex. I can also make a toll-free conference call. Please state your preference on the agenda, and add anything you want to talk about: d:Wikidata:Requests for permissions/Bot/VIAFbot/Meeting agenda.

Looking forwards to talking with everybody. Maximilianklein (talk) 16:43, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Group consensus is to meet on IRC. I've picked server: freenode, and channel: #wikimedia-glam . See you then and there. Maximilianklein (talk) 18:51, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pigsonthewing, thanks for the meeting transcript. I just saw that there have been filed a RFD for Property:P107 (GND main types). Could you please take a look at Wikidata:Requests for deletions#Property:P107? I've got the impression some users don't know authority records and reject GND main types because they don't meet their high expectations of a classification system. Cheers --Kolja21 (talk) 00:27, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

RfC on Wikidata's primary sorting property

You recently participated in a deletion discussion for P107 - main type (GND). The discussion has been closed, as it is clear that a resolution won't come from PfD, and an RfC has been opened on the matter at Wikidata:Requests for comment/Primary sorting property. You are invited to participate there. Please note that this is a mass delivered message, and that I will not see any replies you leave on this page.

Yours, Sven Manguard Wha? 18:26, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Male

Hi Andy. Just wanted to let you know that you've been tagging sex or gender (P21) with Male (Q360210) (a disambig page), whereas it should be male animal (Q44148). Cheers. Pikolas (talk) 00:55, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Oops, I just realised that actually it should have been male (Q6581097). Damn. I have no idea how many items I have mistagged. Pikolas (talk) 01:00, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
