Lankide eztabaida:Enzaiklopedia/2014

Bonjour Enzaiklopedia,
J’ai constaté que ton bot EnzaiBot n’a pas fait de modification sur FR:Wikipédia depuis de nombreux mois et j'ai proposé de le retirer de ce groupe. Si tu souhaites commenter cette décision, merci de te rendre ici. Sans réponse de ta part le flag devrait être retiré dans un mois. Merci pour les contributions de ton bot à la Wikipédia en français.
Bonne continuation. Bub's (eztabaida) 17:03, 2 abendua 2013 (UTC)
Hi Enzaiklopedia,
I noted that your bot EnzaiBot hasn’t altered FR:Wikipédia for months and I have suggested to remove it’s bot flag. I you whish to comment on that proposal, please go there to do so (you can write in English). By default the flag should be removed in a month. Thank you for your bot's contribution to the French Wikipédia.
Best regards, Bub's (eztabaida) 17:03, 2 abendua 2013 (UTC)

Bot flag removed. Litlok (eztabaida) 15:50, 1 urtarrila 2014 (UTC)

Dear Botowner!
On behalf of bureaucrats from the Russian Wikipedia I want to notify you, that we are discussing removal of the bot flag from your bot on ru.wikipedia: See lthis. We nominated all bots removal that were inactive for the last year: If you have any future plans for running the bot or want to keep this flag for some other reasons, please, tell us: at this discussion. You can also contact me directly via my user talk - :ru:User talk:Rubin16.
If you have no objections or we don't receive any response for a week, we will remove bot flag. Thanks a lot for your previous contributions! rubin16 (talk) 19:39, 7 martxoa 2014 (UTC)

* Note from John
** Hey everyone, it's rare these small sections come along but there is a bit of interesting news to get across which one line under 'noteworthy stuff' won't be the best for. For the next 6 summaries, they will be translatable at Wikidata. This is an interesting idea which was first proposed on the delivery page and on Wikidata-l by Base. This is purely a trial and if you all want the summaries to remain translatable, please participate! You can view the first translated summary (hopefully) here! Also sorry for this one being late :)

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
* Discussions
** Zero error rate - help improve the quality of Wikidata's data
* Events/Blogs/Press
** Wikidata won the Open Data Award by the Open Data Institute in the category Publisher \o/ (blog post by ODI, blog post by WMDE)
** Tutorial: Create instant location based timelines using Wikidata queries
* Did you know?
** Less than 23% of Wikidata items have no statement. Down from ~53% a year ago.
** Newest properties: consecrator, Slovene Cultural Heritage designation, penalty, charge, judge, defender, prosecutor, defendant, number of casualties, deepest point, Desa code of Indonesia, Slovene Cultural Heritage Register ID, Catalan object of cultural interest ID
* Development
** Continued work on LabelLookup and related code to further improve performance
** Made it possible to show references in statements on property pages. (Remaining bugs before roll-out are issues with adding/editing/removing statements on property pages.)
** Further improvements to sitelink editing (The edit toolbar now floats so it doesn't scroll out of the page on a long list of sitelinks. An empty row for adding a new sitelink is shown by default when editing to make this faster and take less scrolling.)
** Further adapting of simple query code so we can get it to review at the Foundation again.
** Lots of bug fixes all over the place
* Monthly Tasks
** Hack on one of these.
