Talk:Khalili Collection of Aramaic Documents/GA1

MartinPoulter, this review page has been open for over two months without the actual review being started. The last (July 14) post from the reviewer, The Most Comfortable Chair, was that they would resume on August 5, but they haven't edited on Wikipedia since July 31. If you would prefer to have a new reviewer, I can put the nomination back in the pool for nominations awaiting review. In that case, it would be the oldest unreviewed nomination, so likely to be picked up for review sooner rather than later. Please let me know. BlueMoonset (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks User:BlueMoonset: I'd be very grateful if you'd do that. MartinPoulter (talk) 16:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
It's done. Best of luck with a new reviewer taking it up soon. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:38, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #484

Here's your quick overview of what has been happening around Wikidata over the last week.
  • Other Noteworthy Stuff
    • User:SuccuBot has made its 100.000.000th edit. It is the first user account in Wikidata to reach this milestone.
    • In the frame of a Google Summer of Code project a new tool, called WikidataComplete was created. The tool smoothly integrates in the Wikidata UI and proposes new statements extracted by machine learning algorithms. Editors are asked to either approve or reject them. To activate it check here for a short tutorial check here. Any feedback is welcome here.
  • Development
    • Continued work on the Mismatch Finder. We are now working on creating the page where mismatches will be listed for review.
    • Worked on support for "separators" parameter for distinct value constraints (phab:T277855)
    • Made it possible to restrict constraints to certain entity types (phab:T269724)
    • Added a new constraint type to ensure that the Item has a label in a particular language (phab:T195178)
    • Added a button for the Query Builder to query.wikidata.org to make the Query builder discoverable (phab:T276210) - integration in the example dialog is still in progress (phab:T280229)
    • We started work on some behind-the-scenes improvements to the way Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects are notified about a change that affects their articles. (They need this notification so the article can be purged and show the latest data from Wikidata again. It is also required for showing the edit in the watchlist and recent changes on those wikis. This should have no visible impact for editors but is needed maintenance work.

DYK for Muhammad Sadiq (photographer)

On 15 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Muhammad Sadiq (photographer), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Muhammad Sadiq's photographs were the first ever taken of the Islamic holy sites in Mecca and Medina? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Muhammad Sadiq (photographer). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Muhammad Sadiq (photographer)), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

    • Continuing work on the Mismatch Finder. Currently focusing on showing the details of the mismatches to the person reviewing mismatches.
