[03:52:19] <rdrg109>	 [Q] I accidentally created an entity ( Q108759368 ), and then I noticed that this concept already existed ( Q28957005 ). Is it possible to delete an entity? This is the first time I'm contributing to Wikidata.
[03:56:28] <Lozenge>	 rdrg109: done
[03:59:00] <rdrg109>	 Thanks!
[04:12:44] <rdrg109>	 [Q] Is it possible to create items programmatically? I want to add all Emacs packages to the Wikidata knowledge base. I can get the list of all Emacs packages in a machine readable format (JSON, XML, YAML, etc.), but I was wondering how I can push that to Wikidata?
[04:14:07] <rdrg109>	 For those interested, you can see the list of all Emacs packages in this ( https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/ ) site.
[11:45:06] <geman>	 ugh, still stuck at this, anyone well versed in XPath? I guess there is no way to return a new element around to selected items in XPath? 
[11:46:17] <geman>	 so I have for example /*/*/*[name()='result']/*[@name='countryLabel' or @name='population'] , which will return <binding name="countryLabel"><binding name="population"><binding name="countryLabel"><binding name="population"> , but I would need them returned as <result><binding name="countryLabel"><binding name="population"></result><result><binding name="countryLabel"><binding name="population"></result>
[11:51:13] <geman>	 ah nevermind I'll just work around it using ORDER BY which seem to reliably make the SPARQL XML columns also ordered
[12:04:35] <a_ka_es>	 Hi, I need some help: 
[12:06:34] <inductiveload>	 rdrg109: it's certainly possible, you can do it with Pywikibot, for example: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Wikidata
[12:06:36] <a_ka_es>	 I think that Q15434284 and Q107428046 should be merged, but I am not able to do this, because I didn't know enough about merging.
[12:09:10] <inductiveload>	 a_ka_es: done
[12:10:01] <a_ka_es>	 inductiveload: thank you! 
[12:10:15] <inductiveload>	 did you try to do it yourself?
[12:10:56] <inductiveload>	 if you did, and it would not let you, it was because Q15434284 already had a (different) enwiki sitelink
[12:10:57] <inductiveload>	 which was actually wrong
[12:11:24] <a_ka_es>	 inductiveload: yes, but there was a notice that I didn't understand 
[12:11:36] <a_ka_es>	 inductiveload: ah. okay. 
[12:11:49] <inductiveload>	 w:en:Leiker is Q108762448
[12:11:58] <inductiveload>	 (which didn't exist until 2 minutes ago)
[12:12:10] <inductiveload>	 *w:en:Leikert

[23:10:57] <Dragonfly6-7>	 someone has done some subtle fuckery which I can't see how to unpick
[23:11:27] <Dragonfly6-7>	 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2579853     observe that there's a mishmash with Q1660
