The Picture of the week (POTW) is dedicated to creating and displaying a weekly picture displaying the data that Wikidata contains. It is an effort to bring the Main Page to life while diving into and revealing data that may be hard to visualise without an aid.

General idea
[edit]
Translation
[edit]

As Tobias1984 has pointed out below (by translating) the descriptions of each image will need translating! We should probably start to think of a way to queue up images and carry out the writing of descriptions prior to the pictures going on the main page and probably prior to having the first one on the main page too! ·addshore· talk to me! 11:52, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed Images (world map)

[edit]
Discussion
  • The proposed images look great. To avoid too many questions I think that descriptions should be longer and work like a map key, explaining every symbol and structure seen on the map. --Tobias1984 (talk) 19:12, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • (de) Die grünen Linien erstrecken sich zwischen zwei Partnerstädten, die jeweils an den beiden Enden der Linien liegen. Madrid (im Südwesten der Karte) ist ein Beispiel für eine Stadt mit sehr vielen Partnerstädten, von denen viele in Südamerika liegen. Die Dichte der Linien liegt einerseits an der Bevölkerungsdichte, der momentanen Datenlage von Wikidata und der kulturellen Affinität zu Gemeindepartnerschaften. Die rötlichen Punkte, die die Umrisse von Europa nachzeichnen entsprechen je einem Objekt, dass über Geokoordinaten verfügt. --Tobias1984 (talk) 09:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
