Chess

Good try. No cigar. I conclude Listeria really does not like chess players. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:27, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

@Tagishsimon: Grrr. I see what you were knocking your head against yesterday. There seems to be something fundamentally flawed. I wonder if it’s somewhere in the Wikidata, or in the bot itself? Or the template? I don’t see how it’s in the code, since what seems to be identical code (except for the P106) runs just fine on other lists. And why would that first run come up with so many Japanese critics?! NotARabbit (talk) 23:47, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
Critics were copied from whichever list I stole the page from, so they're a red herring. But yes, the code works fine if you stick it into the wikidata query thingie, and both you and I have tried endless variations. Oh well. I live in hope it'll burst into life one day. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:51, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
@Tagishsimon: I tried this query, adding one line at a time. It ran fine until I put in the FILTER NOT EXISTS line. It timed out on that one, and gave me this code box:
Extended content

Does this help shed any light on the problem? (I’m unfamiliar with java.) NotARabbit (talk) 02:54, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

It doesn't, I'm afraid. That's a timeout. But if you follow the SPARQL link from the top of the Chess page and run the code, it returns values in a few second. So SPARQL thru the Wikidata Query Service works fine, same SPARQL thru Listeria is failing in this one instance.
Meanwhile I'm now starting to add a count of sitelinks to all of our WiR pages; my technique is to grab the whole of the top of the Activists list (including the couple of paragraphs of text at the top), insert it into the top of another list; move the occupation values from the existing list code into the newly inserted code, and then delete the existing code ... [comme ça]. No reason you should join me in this endeavour, not least since we could have done it as a single operation last week. But if you do, I guess we'll need a tracking list. --Tagishsimon (talk) 17:57, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
I've fiddled with your earth scientists ... new wording & explicit declaration of contents. Sentence 1 does not include the word 'women' or 'female', which seems an absense to me. Is "female earth scientsts" better or worse? Site links now wrap. See also Classicists and Illustrators for the same pattern. --Tagishsimon (talk) 18:19, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
@Tagishsimon: I added the word “female” in the paragraph; that bothered me, too. I like declaring the list right out there in the open; I’ll add to it when/if I can get others to work.
I’ve been spending probably way too much time hunting down the earth scientists we don’t have a gender for and updating Wikidata with that information. (My working list) Unlike so much in these projects, if I can find a picture of the person (a very tall order most of the time), I can verify their gender. Or even if I find an [English-language] source that calls the person “he” or “her”. It’s so satisfying to actually dig up a 1879 biography on a French geologist when we had only his initials! And I have found many women, too. Out of the original 275, I’ve tracked down about 55 scientists, mostly men (of course). A lot of them are from Wikispecies, full of initials, and mostly labeled paleontologists, though they aren’t necessarily. NotARabbit (talk) 02:44, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
That's quite a task. (I've done one for you.) Good luck with row 206: Zang. --Tagishsimon (talk) 11:47, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Quite addictive. I've snaffled some low-hanging fruit. But I have a radiator to detach from a wall, and this is not getting it done... --Tagishsimon (talk) 12:43, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Ha! Yes, very addictive. My challenge for you: A. J. Hill. There’s a botanist, a contemporary fish paleontologist, and a nineteenth-century maybe paleontologist, and who knows who else. Hope your radiator was more cooperative. NotARabbit (talk) 19:06, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
You're familiar with the story of the boy with his finger in the dyke? That was me, earlier today. It all got a bit fraught when, after removing the radiator, the valve decided that it wasn't really connected to the copper pipe and proceeded to leak with abandon. I hope A. J. Hill proves easier to sort out, although I suspect from the distant sound of your cackling, that it will not be. --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:10, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
Yikes! You have really tackled a major project, it sounds, and Murphy is moving in. (That’s Murphy you hear cackling, not me! Honest!) No luck with A. J. Hill but, if you’ll believe it, Zang turned out to be the easiest I’ve done to date. I went to the Wikispecies page, and there HE was: Richard Zang! With dates. Noticing how short a life he lived, I wondered what had happened, and followed enough leads to find that he died of appendicitis, poor guy. I don’t know if he had a chance to be notable enough for any of the Wikipedias, but I updated him in Wikidata anyway. NotARabbit (talk) 22:53, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Giants Challenge hoax..?

I noticed that you took an article hat was previously nominated for AfD and removed all labels nominating it, citing that it "almost certainly exists or at least existed". I say that that archived website link you put up might have simply been part of an elaborate hoax or something like that. Besides the fact that it doesn't look very official, but rather amateur-ish (like some high school kid made it), if this race really exists (or existed), then why on Earth are there literally zero other references to it on the internet except for that old site and this Wikipedia page? you'd think that at least some South Africans who ran in it would post SOMETHING about it on their blogs, etc. Please reconsider. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:3545:5C00:E861:C077:697D:A24A (talk) 00:57, 28 May 2018 (UTC)

(The article in question is at Giants Challenge.)

The de-prodding in question is at here. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:00, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
