@Tacsipacsi Labels are missing at https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Database_reports/Constraint_violations/P2088. Maybe because it has a much bigger number of violations?

VladimirAlexiev added a comment to T201150: Regularly run constraint checks for all items.

Here's the goal: a SPARQL query should return all violations of a certain kind, with a possible data lag of a few hours.
So you need:

  • a baseline of having processed all items (TODO)
  • processing of changed items (DONE)
  • periodic processing of every item because constraint definitions or implementations can change globally (TODO?)

  • 500355043 Unidentified Named People includes things like "the master of painting X"
  • 500125081 Unknown People by Culture includes things like "unknown Egyptian" (to be used in situations like "unknown creator, but Egyptian culture"). We've modeled those as gvp:UnknownPersonConcept and groups (schema:Organization) but users still think of them as "persons".
  • Further, there are things like "unknown but from the circle of Rembrandt" or "unknown but copy after Rembrandt" etc, about 20 varieties of them, see

Hmmm, rdf4j returns the same false. Also if i use = instead of sameTerm

This returns False, which I believe is a bug in Blazegraph

select * {
  bind (
    sameTerm(<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Tromsø>,
     <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Troms%C3%B8>)

Can you point to the encoding rules so we do the same before querying. Sparql's encode-for-uri encodes everything except upper- and lower-case letters A-Z, the digits 0-9, HYPHEN-MINUS ("-"), LOW LINE ("_"), FULL STOP ".", and TILDE "~". See https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#func-encode-for-uri.

Ok, this works and returns 18650 rows as expected:

prefix wd:   <http://www.wikidata.org/entity/>
prefix wdt:  <http://www.wikidata.org/prop/direct/>
prefix bd:   <http://www.bigdata.com/rdf#>

So can you perhaps rewrite the query in a way that it works?

I want to use federation from an external repo (as the descr says "another repo").
You can test the bug either using an external repo, or self-federation.

VladimirAlexiev added a comment to T155425: Add monolingual language code phn (Phoenician).

phn means "Phoenician in Phoenician script" but the example given is in Latin script, thus it is phn-Latn.

VladimirAlexiev added a comment to T155425: Add monolingual language code phn (Phoenician).

https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#Phoenician_language: according to the IANA lang tag list, the default script for this language is "Phnx" Phoenician but the example there is given in Latin transcription so shoul de denoted like "gadir"@phn-Latn.

  • To capture this, I believe you should register a lang tag phn-Latn with name eg "Phoenician (Latin transcription)".
  • The tag phn should be used only if you install Phoenician script (alphabet) in the language tools; and somehow direct the user to select "Phoenician (Latin transcription)" if they intend to enter a transliterated label
