When will Wikidata have its first lame edit war because two sister projects disagree on how to structure their shared data?

Interwiki fixes

[ edit ]

My multi-cultural identity means that I often find myself fixing correspondences between similar concepts in different languages. Below are groups of easily confused items that I've tried to fix:

  • posthumous (Q1395509) - three-way merge of two European and one East Asian concepts, all referring to the act of conferring honour after someone's death

Property migration tools

[ edit ]

My greatest (and perhaps most controversial) contribution to Wikidata so far has been the creation of two pywikibot scripts that perform property+qualifier migration semi-automatically. This allowed the deprecation of P794 ("as" - deprecated because it is untranslatable to non-European languages), the Pokedex merge and a few other property/qualifier deprecation batch jobs.

I have given a few Wikidata talks at Wikimedia conferences, and some of them have dedicated wiki-pages or slide-decks:
