Task/s: Synchronize Wikidata records created by the SEEKCommons project with OpenAlex
Code: https://github.com/SEEKCommons/SEEKCommonsBot
Function details: --SEEKCommonsBot (talk) 14:52, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
- @SEEKCommonsBot: The operator of bot must be a distinct user account. And please make some test edits.--GZWDer (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
- Done. I just added the OpenAlex URL. Thanks for your help. SEEKCommonsBot (talk) 15:20, 12 February 2026 (UTC)
- What is the account of the bot operator? LydiaPintscher (talk) 17:05, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

- @SEEKCommonsBot: Can you please more clearly describe what you want to do with this bot? The description is not helpful so far. LydiaPintscher (talk) 17:03, 13 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi - @SEEKCommonsBot: This proposal is very unclear. Will this bot be creating new Wikidata items? Updating existing items? How many? What kinds of data will be added/updated? Far more detail is needed. And as the above comments also noted, you need a non-bot account for the person responsible for this bot to be linked. ArthurPSmith (talk) 14:56, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. The purpose of the bot is to implement what some people call the "automation loop" in the knowledge graph lifecycle, which includes ingest, clean, transform, enrich, link. So, yes, this bot will create new Wikidata items, update existing items, monitor item changes so that they adhere to certain quality standards (e.g., via entity schemas). The rates of change will vary, but I wouldn't expect them to be very high. Anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred at a time (updates, new items). OK?

- "at a time" implies how many per day, how many total items are likely to be involved? And please do a few (100 or less) sample edits of this sort first. ArthurPSmith (talk) 21:56, 17 February 2026 (UTC)
- Will do (a few (100 or less) sample edits of this sort). Most days there won't be any edits. By "at a time," I meant batches. In the SEEKCommons project, we have an ongoing fellowship program, and we want to capture their work products, e.g., Zenodo deposits, contributions to OSS projects, etc. Updates would be necessary as new materials become available.
