Newspaper account

Hello,

I requested the newspaper account access for my research, but find I do not actually use it. I would like to return the subscription so some other editor can use it.Georgejdorner (talk) 00:39, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HI @Georgejdorner: Thanks for offering to return your account. We've been given more free accounts and there's not a waitlist, so it's not necessary to remove your access immediately. Your subscription will expire anyway on March 19 2016. All the best, HazelAB (talk) 13:50, 3 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers.com

Hello HazelAB. I applied for the Newspapers.com subscription on Saturday and was accepted sometime on Sunday. I then created an account and filled out the Google form, but I still do not have free access to all the newspapers. Thanks,--12george1 (talk) 19:35, 6 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @12george1: The Newspapers.com subscription is a two-stage process. Now that you've signed up and filled out the form I will let Newspapers.com know and they will activate your account. That should happen in the next couple of days. All the best, HazelAB (talk) 13:48, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Question about quote from newspapers.com

Hello. I have added a fairly long (3 lines) quote from an article I found on newspapers.com for J. Washington Moore. Should I trim it a bit more? I feel like all of it is significant though, and those who don't have access to newspapers.com will want to read what the article said, given that it is a contentious issue. Usually I don't add quote at all, but in this case I feel like it is necessary. What do you think? (Please ping me when you respond as I may not see your page on my watchlist.) Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:26, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Zigzig20s:, Wow, it's great to see how much Newspapers.com has to offer about J. Washington Moore! I don't see a problem with the length of the quotation, but I think it would be even better if you clipped the article, using the resource's Clipping function, and made a link to it. That way people who don't have subscriptions could see the whole newspaper article. The clipping would look like this: https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3987552/ Information about how to use the clipping functionality is at the Wikipedia Library Newspapers.com site here: Wikipedia: Newspapers.com#Citation and Open Access and at the Newspapers.com site here. All the best, HazelAB (talk) 23:10, 7 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Will my newspapers.com username show on the clipping? It looks like it might. If so, I'd rather someone else added the clippings.Zigzig20s (talk) 00:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the three articles with quotes could be clipped, if you want to do it. But otherwise the direct quote might be sufficient. I usually never use direct quotes, but the three topics are potentially contentious (female suffrage, stolen election ballots of black candidates, arrest of drug dealer).Zigzig20s (talk) 00:14, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A note of thanks …

… for your very efficient handling of the newspapers.com subscriptions and renewals. Many, many thanks! Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers.com renewal list

Newspapers.com sign-up

Hi HazelAB, thank you very much for the approval. A few days before I applied to you, another editor suggested that I sign up for a free membership at Newspapers.com, so I did. However, I was unable to access anything without paying more money – and that's when the other editor informed me that I should have signed up on your list. I mention all this because after receiving your approval email, I clicked on the special partnership registration link that helps you track who subscribes via your partnership, and it said that I was already a free member. I hope this doesn't mess up your records. I went ahead and did step 2, filling out the Google form. Best, Yoninah (talk) 13:52, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers.com renewals—Never got an account in the first place!

I got an email from you on newpapers.com account renewals, but I was not aware that I actually had a newspapers.com account via Wikipedia. I applied for one, but never received any login information or password or instruction on how to get such. I had assumed something had gone wrong, or that you were over the limit on accounts. Having that account would have made several articles I was working on much easier. If possible, can you check and see if I really do have a newspapers.com account, and let me know what my user login and password are, or how to get them? Thank you. Carl Henderson (talk) 19:31, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers.com

Hi HazelAB,

I completed the required forms for full access to Newspapers.com back in March and still haven't received full access. Can you please help? Many thanks! X4n6 (talk) 23:49, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@X4n6: You should have full access as of March 30. It may be relevant that since January Newspapers.com has added "Publisher Extra" content that is not included in our Wikipedia subscriptions. It appears in search result lists with a little plus sign next to the newspaper title. Then when you click on the result you get a message inviting you to upgrade your subscription in order to view the Publisher Extra content. Or can you not get access to anything at all on the site? HazelAB (talk) 16:15, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for getting back to me. That's exactly it: virtually everything that came up in my searches had the plus(+) sign on them, re-directing me to the "Upgrade to a Publisher Extra Subscription to view this page" notice. So short of doing that, I suppose Newspapers.com has severely limited their utility re: us then? Oh well, still grateful for the resource - and your help. Many thanks again!

What is a systematic review?

Systematic reviews are basic building blocks of evidence-based medicine, surveys of existing literature devoted typically to a definite question that aim to bring out scientific conclusions. They are principled in a way Wikipedians can appreciate, taking a critical view of their sources.

Ben Goldacre in 2014 wrote (link below) "[...] : the "information architecture" of evidence based medicine (if you can tolerate such a phrase) is a chaotic, ad hoc, poorly connected ecosystem of legacy projects. In some respects the whole show is still run on paper, like it's the 19th century." Is there a Wikidatan in the house? Wouldn't some machine-readable content that is structured data help?

File:Schittny, Facing East, 2011, Legacy Projects.jpg

2011 photograph by Bernard Schittny of the "Legacy Projects" group

Most likely it would, but the arcana of systematic reviews and how they add value would still need formal handling. The PRISMA standard dates from 2009, with an update started in 2018. The concerns there include the corpus of papers used: how selected and filtered? Now that Wikidata has a 20.9 million item bibliography, one can at least pose questions. Each systematic review is a tagging opportunity for a bibliography. Could that tagging be reproduced by a query, in principle? Can it even be second-guessed by a query (i.e. simulated by a protocol which translates into SPARQL)? Homing in on the arcana, do the inclusion and filtering criteria translate into metadata? At some level they must, but are these metadata explicitly expressed in the articles themselves? The answer to that is surely "no" at this point, but can TDM find them? Again "no", right now. Automatic identification doesn't just happen.

Actually these questions lack originality. It should be noted though that WP:MEDRS, the reliable sources guideline used here for health information, hinges on the assumption that the usefully systematic reviews of biomedical literature can be recognised. Its nutshell summary, normally the part of a guideline with the highest density of common sense, allows literature reviews in general validity, but WP:MEDASSESS qualifies that indication heavily. Process wonkery about systematic reviews definitely has merit.

When in the cloud, do as the APIs do

Half a century ago, it was the era of the mainframe computer, with its air-conditioned room, twitching tape-drives, and appearance in the title of a spy novel Billion-Dollar Brain then made into a Hollywood film. Now we have the cloud, with server farms and the client–server model as quotidian: this text is being typed on a Chromebook.

File:Cloud-API-Logo.svg

Logo of Cloud API on Google Cloud Platform

The term Applications Programming Interface or API is 50 years old, and refers to a type of software library as well as the interface to its use. While a compiler is what you need to get high-level code executed by a mainframe, an API out in the cloud somewhere offers a chance to perform operations on a remote server. For example, the multifarious bots active on Wikipedia have owners who exploit the MediaWiki API.

APIs (called RESTful) that allow for the GET HTTP request are fundamental for what could colloquially be called "moving data around the Web"; from which Wikidata benefits 24/7. So the fact that the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint at query.wikidata.org has a RESTful API means that, in lay terms, Wikidata content can be GOT from it. The programming involved, besides the SPARQL language, could be in Python, younger by a few months than the Web.

Magic words, such as occur in fantasy stories, are wishful (rather than RESTful) solutions to gaining access. You may need to be a linguist to enter Ali Baba's cave or the western door of Moria (French in the case of "Open Sesame", in fact, and Sindarin being the respective languages). Talking to an API requires a bigger toolkit, which first means you have to recognise the tools in terms of what they can do. On the way to the wikt:impactful or polymathic modern handling of facts, one must perhaps take only tactful notice of tech's endemic problem with documentation, and absorb the insightful point that the code in APIs does articulate the customary procedures now in place on the cloud for getting information. As Owl explained to Winnie-the-Pooh, it tells you The Thing to Do.

Completely clouded?

Talk of cloud computing draws a veil over hardware, but also, less obviously but more importantly, obscures such intellectual distinction as matters most in its use. Wikidata begins to allow tasks to be undertaken that were out of easy reach. The facility should not be taken as the real point.

Coming in from another angle, the "executive decision" is more glamorous; but the "administrative decision" should be admired for its command of facts. Think of the attitudes ad fontes, so prevalent here on Wikipedia as "can you give me a source for that?", and being prepared to deal with complicated analyses into specified subcases. Impatience expressed as a disdain for such pedantry is quite understandable, but neither dirty data nor false dichotomies are at all good to have around.

Issue 13 and Issue 21, respectively on WP:MEDRS and systematic reviews, talk about biomedical literature and computing tasks that would be of higher quality if they could be made more "administrative". For example, it is desirable that the decisions involved be consistent, explicable, and reproducible by non-experts from specified inputs.

What gets clouded out is not impossibly hard to understand. You do need to put together the insights of functional programming, which is a doctrinaire and purist but clearcut approach, with the practicality of office software. Loopless computation can be conceived of as a seamless forward march of spreadsheet columns, each determined by the content of previous ones. Very well: to do a backward audit, when now we are talking about Wikidata, we rely on integrity of data and its scrupulous sourcing: and clearcut case analyses. The MEDRS example forces attention on purge attempts such as Beall's list.

Semantic Web and TDM – a ContentMine view

Two dozen issues, and this may be the last, a valediction at least for a while.

It's time for a two-year summation of ContentMine projects involving TDM (text and data mining).

Wikidata and now Structured Data on Commons represent the overlap of Wikimedia with the Semantic Web. This common ground is helping to convert an engineering concept into a movement. TDM generally has little enough connection with the Semantic Web, being instead in the orbit of machine learning which is no respecter of the semantic. Don't break a taboo by asking bots "and what do you mean by that?"

The ScienceSource project innovates in TDM, by storing its text mining results in a Wikibase site. It strives for compliance of its fact mining, on drug treatments of diseases, with an automated form of the relevant Wikipedia referencing guideline MEDRS. Where WikiFactMine set up an API for reuse of its results, ScienceSource has a SPARQL query service, with look-and-feel exactly that of Wikidata's at query.wikidata.org. It also now has a custom front end, and its content can be federated, in other words used in data mashups: it is one of over 50 sites that can federate with Wikidata.

The human factor comes to bear through the front end, which combines a link to the HTML version of a paper, text mining results organised in drug and disease columns, and a SPARQL display of nearby drug and disease terms. Much software to develop and explain, so little time! Rather than telling the tale, Facto Post brings you ScienceSource links, starting from the how-to video, lower right.

ScienceSourceReview, introductory video: but you need run it from the original upload file on Commons

Links for participation

http://sciencesource-review.wmflabs.org/, review tool link in the left-hand sidebar at http://sciencesource.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page

The review tool requires a log in on sciencesource.wmflabs.org, and an OAuth permission (bottom of a review page) to operate. It can be used in simple and more advanced workflows. Examples of queries for the latter are at d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource project/Queries#SS_disease_list and d:Wikidata_talk:ScienceSource_project/Queries#NDF-RT issue.

Please be aware that this is a research project in development, and may have outages for planned maintenance. That will apply for the next few days, at least. The ScienceSource wiki main page carries information on practical matters. Email is not enabled on the wiki: use site mail here to Charles Matthews in case of difficulty, or if you need support. Further explanatory videos will be put into commons:Category:ContentMine videos.

If you wish to receive no further issues of Facto Post, please remove your name from our mailing list. Alternatively, to opt out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

DYK for Tom Forrestall

On 21 January 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Tom Forrestall, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Canadian artist Tom Forrestall spent six months painting his own car? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Tom Forrestall. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Tom Forrestall), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. 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.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary

	Women in Red 8th Anniversary
	In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap!
