@benestar_wm Cool, thanks for the help again and for fixing it for the future :-)

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm The error message was a bit misleading. Maybe something like “Property $p expects values of type $t, but type $s was sent”.

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm , from all possible properties I randomly chose a one that doesn’t accept entities. Thanks, working now :-)

The @FBaseE@wikidata migration tool now supports migrating single sources, properties w/ sources, & full statements. pic.twitter.com/zSaajP1Lhb

via Twitter Web Client

@benestar_wm It’s give & take ;-) I guess one could move the @fbase sources over to the @wikidata source. Even more manual, but justifiable.

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm This because upon manual inspection I saw that from the Mercedes item you can infer the corresponding country.

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm In this very case I’d reject the less precise new @fbase value (Uruguay) & leave the more precise @wikidata value (Mercedes).

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm Luckily we settled for human curation: “The editor will be able to confirm […]wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:…4f1

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm Think the general case. There may be gaps in the rel. chain. It’s obviously easy in the concrete case, but IMHO not generally.

via Echofon in reply to benestaar

@benestar_wm Easy for whom? For a human or a machine? It’s a classic HIT (human intelligence task) I guess… Hard for machines.

@RubenVerborgh I agree, but can see where they were coming from. Found this github.com/jshint/jshint/… and this github.com/jshint/jshint/….
