[12:01:08] in the bread item, date of first performance and first appearance are clearly the wrong properties, I added inception and country of origin as the food wikidata project suggest https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7802 [12:01:24] should I delete these wrong statements or deprecate them? [12:03:47] (the values are also wrong btw) [18:33:29] Hi, I'm trying to query Wikidata to find a historical figure, with the initials J. A., who died before 1881 [18:34:50] I've been using the QueryBuilder, and am a bit stuck, as I can only search family/given names that are existing wikidata items, rather than querying something along the lines of givenname=J* familyname=A* [18:35:16] Was wondering whether anyone could advise on the best way to do this! Apologies if it's a newb question! [18:37:47] Bloomington: Sounds like you want a `STRSTARTS` filter. Take a look at the 'Rock bands that start with "M"' example. [18:40:04] JAA that sounds perfect, cheers [19:25:40] JAA I'm still struggling with this! I can select an item's given name using: [19:25:42]       ?item p:P735 ?givenname. [19:25:42]       ?givenname (ps:P735/(wdt:P279*)) _:anyValueP735. [19:26:45] But as soon as I try to get the given name's label, in order to use FILTER(STRSTARTS()) like the example, it returns no results: [19:26:46] ?givenname rdfs:label ?givennameLabel . [19:41:47] Bloomington: Does this help? https://w.wiki/6MLa [19:43:56] Note that this will of course only find matches that have a P735 field, not ones where the name is only present in the label/alias or P1559 or similar. [19:51:16] That's amazing, thanks! [22:54:29] Faberger's eggs https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q331225 are a subclass of easter egg (which is correct) which is a subclass of food (which is also correct), but Faberger's eggs are definitely not food, how should this be handled? [22:56:27] should I add a new item for "decorative easter egg" that won't be a subclass of food, should I remove the subclass of easter egg statement from Faberger's eggs or is there an exception statement that could tell queries that while this is a subclass of easter egg, it's not food?
