Ryz: that may the case if it's not in wikidata
-
arkiver
much of the news stuff comes from wikidata, it may be best to see about adding the website to wikidata with the right metadata. we'll pick up on it then as well
-
arkiver
that way we make both this project and wikidata more complete
-
JAA
Worth mentioning that we probably do get most if not all content distributed via Newswire.com indirectly since they, well, distribute this stuff to many outlets that likely appear somewhere in our lists.
-
JAA
But yeah, agreed.
-
Ryz
...Does creating a Wikidata account mean it covers all the other Wikimedia stuff too? Like Wikipedia?
-
JAA
Yes, all Wikimedia Foundation sites use a single global account system.
-
arkiver
Ryz: ping me please when you've created it, i'll do a new run on getting data from wikidata then
-
datechnoman
more juicy sources :D
-
JAA
I saw that a bunch of these news wire services are not on Wikidata.
-
JAA
Or in some cases, they are, but the links go to the homepages, not the PR feeds.
-
JAA
For example,
wikidata.org/wiki/Q376399 does that, but the interesting page with all PRs would be
prnewswire.com/news-releases/news-releases-list instead.
-
JAA
I wonder whether WD has a property that could be used for something like the latter. If not, it might be tricky to get it in there.
-
Ryz
arkiver, I believe I made an account, please show me how to do this and how it applies to the rest of the entries usually for this project
-
arkiver
does the news site already have an item on wikidata? if yes, you could add the site to there and make sure the news site is marked as news site
-
arkiver
it will then be picked up
-
arkiver
or you make a new entry
-
arkiver

TheTechRobo: it is true. Police are not on your side. At least if you aren't a billionaire or their boss.
-
immibis
this is true in every country
-
Ryz
Mmm, tis why I'm trying to figure out how to make a new entry and such ><;
-
Ryz
What a minute, this doesn't count arkiver?
wikidata.org/wiki/Q376399
-
Ryz
There's also this,
wikidata.org/wiki/Q11790928 - but it doesn't look complete or filled enough
-
JAA
Ryz: PR Newswire != Newswire
-
JAA
The second one is for the general concept of a newswire, not that particular one.
-
arkiver
right
-
Ryz
Hmm...
-
JAA
I don't see an item for einpresswire.com either.
-
JAA
But we have that on another list already.
-
JAA
But yeah, not sure how the 'link for the page which has the actual content' fits the WD model.
-
Ryz
Here it is so far arkiver and JAA:
wikidata.org/wiki/Q124976778
-
JAA
I can't find a property that seems appropriate for
newswire.com/newsroom . Do you know one, arkiver?
-
JAA
We could list the RSS feeds under
newswire.com/feeds with P1019 in this case, but not all of these sites have one, I think.
-
arkiver
"Newswire is a press release distribution platform" from their about page
-
arkiver
perhaps we can add "news" "press releases" "news site" if something like that is available?
-
arkiver
but if it all becomes too difficult, a PR to the urls-sources repo will also do the trick i guess, just make sure to list
newswire.com/newsroom
-
JAA
I have a feeling that it would require the creation of a new property. That's a bit of a bureaucratic process, I believe.
-
arkiver
yeah unless someone volunteers, better to PR it to urls-sources on github Ryz
-
Ryz
Oh fun, I made an account for adding stuff for the express purpose to feed to #// and I find something that arkiver and JAA did not account for at all :/
-
Ryz
At Wikimedia has a multipurpose, I seriously can't think of anything with GitHub at all when creating an account
-
arkiver
Ryz: love edge cases
-
Ryz
Beyond for that one specific task or idea~
-
Ryz
My tolerance of creating new user accounts has been hit for the time being, meh s:
-
JAA
Oh, newswire.com's RSS feeds are 410 Gone. Welp.
