Csisc added a comment to T322067: Allow federated queries with Bioontology SPARQL Endpoint.

@Nikki this sparql endpoint states:

Notice: This SPARQL endpoint is maintained by NCBO for demo purposes. It serves as playground to explore BioPortal's ontologies in RDF and we do not recommend its use for production applications or heavy batch processing. As an alternative, our virtual appliance is packaged with a SPARQL endpoint that can be used for local deployments.

So I'm not sure it'd be wise to add it to our whitelist?

@Aklapper, I have presented the session as shown in the Program. This session has been attended by 30 participants from the Wikimedia Community and eight people at the Wikimania in-person event held in Monastir, Tunisia. This was a live session of the Hackathon and as well for the in-person event in Monastir, Tunisia. We received interesting points that will be interesting to develop the work and we will certainly consider them for developing our research work.

Hello, and thanks for your proposal!
We would like to offer you to present on Saturday 22nd at 14:00 UTC. Instead of the main track, we would like to offer you to present in one of the hacking rooms on Jitsi, where you will be able to interact directly with the participants and work on a more collaborative way.
How does it work for you? Please let me know before May 17th so we can complete scheduling.

Csisc added a comment to T187344: Add language codes for Arabic languages for use in labels, aliases and descriptions to Wikidata.

@Aklapper I thank you for your answer. As promised, I discussed with all users about the issue and I presented the outcomes of that discussion in Wikimania 2019 conference. You can find my presentation at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Languages_lightning_talks.webm and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimania_2019_-_Arabic_Linguistics.pdf. The topic seems to be controversial. Middle Eastern users are struggling the idea despite all my attempts to convince them of the importance of this action. If all Arabic languages/dialects become recognized and supported, we will be able to enrich Wikidata with information about these languages. Please go through my Wikimania presentation and decide the best solution to the matter.

@Bassem I see, I do not know that as I am not Lebanese. Well, I am a Tunisian citizen :). Thank you for the information. Our proposal is not related to Said Akl's thoughts. It is just for linguistic purposes and to avoid spending time on creating tens of Wikipedias in Arabic dialects.

Csisc added a comment to T187344: Add language codes for Arabic languages for use in labels, aliases and descriptions to Wikidata.

@Bassem Concerning the intelligibility of Modern Standard Arabic, I did not say that Arab people do not understand Modern Standard Arabic at all. What I said is "Due to the existence of False friends between Modern Standard Arabic and Arabic dialects and due to the existence of several morphological particularities within the Arabic dialects, some Arabs can misunderstand some words within a text in Modern Standard Arabic. Adding labels to Wikidata entities will prevent such misunderstandings".

@Bassem You can describe better than me the situation of Lebanese as you are one of its native speakers. However, from what I see, there are still some channels like MTV Lebanon that deals with the efforts of Said Akl and that still use Said Akl's Arabic script writing system.

Csisc added a comment to T187344: Add language codes for Arabic languages for use in labels, aliases and descriptions to Wikidata.

@1339861mzb This is not always accurate. Moroccan Arabic is used in Education in Morocco. There are also efforts in this context in Algeria, in Tunisia, and in Lebanon. Furthermore, there are many resources that are written in Arabic dialects/languages since the early 20th Century. Scientists in Tunisia have even found school lessons, mystic poems, religious speeches, and administrative information written in Tunisian during the 18th and 19th Century. We will publish a paper about that. However, this is not the most important reason about adding labels in Arabic dialects to Wikidata. In fact, there are many false friends between Arabic dialects and Modern Standard Arabic. Adding labels in Arabic dialects to Wikidata will prevent users from misunderstanding the articles of the Arabic Wikipedia. Furthermore, there are many Arab people who do not have sufficient proficiency to read and understand Modern Standard Arabic as it should be due to the poor literacy rates in some Arab countries. Letting all human knowledge as provided by Wikidata converted into their Arabic dialect will help them to better understand the information they are searching for in Wikipedia editions.

@Bassem I do not agree. Arabic dialects are not the same as Modern Standard Arabic. There are many false friends between them and each one of them has its linguistic particularities and this is what is proved in many research works.

@GerardM I know that. However, this is not what I meant.

@alanajjar I only proposed these dialects because they have Wikimedia language codes.

With more details this information can be added to https://github.com/wikimedia/language-data/blob/master/data/langdb.yaml (you can also see the expected format there, you need language code, writing script, geographical area and autonym. I think multiple of those listed are already in there. This is required for the ULS language selector to be able to list these languages.

For Wikidata side, I don't know exactly that they need to do about languages that are not supported by MediaWiki as an interface language, but I think it is a simple code or configuration change.

For a language to be "supported" by MediaWiki in the common sense, it needs at least 13% of the MediaWiki core interface messages translated. For other use cases (which require language code to be "known") it should suffice to add the English names in the CLDR extension to LocalNamesEn.php for languages not yet supported by CLDR.

If we add labels in Arabic dialects to all Wikidata entities, we will have Wikidata and consequently all the data existing in Wikipedia and Wiktionary translated to Arabic dialects. Consequently, we will not have to create Wikipedias or Wiktionaries in all the Arabic dialects. Who needs more information about an entity in Wikidata can search Arabic, French or English Wikipedia.
