The February Working Hour will feature a presentation by Steve Baskauf on using VanderBot with Wikibase: The Wikibase API provides a mechanism for programmatic control of uploads, and its behavior is consistent across instances (Wikidata, Structured Data in Commons, and those that are established privately). In this session, Steve will discuss basic interactions with the API and demonstrate using the VanderBot Python application to rapidly upload tabular data to a wikibase.cloud instance. After performing a mass deletion, Steve will conclude by describing how he's used the Wikibase API to facilitate addition of structured data to Commons. Registration link

cv

Thanks for helping out with those last few cv-declined drafts, I've been doing my head in trying to find the matches for the violations. Going forward should be a bit easier since they will be fresh and we can harangue the declining editor if it's not obvious where the source(s) of the material came from. Primefac (talk) 13:56, 10 March 2023 (UTC)

@Primefac no problem. It's a bit like UPE where the tagging editor doesn't come up with evidence to back up their suspicion. I'm sure some of those CV's I've changed probably are CV's but just can't find the source to prove it. Nthep (talk) 14:28, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, I always hate the ones where it's so blatantly copied from somewhere but there just aren't matches. Primefac (talk) 15:07, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
