The code and queries etc here are unlikely to be updated as my process evolves. Later repos will likely have progressively different approaches and more elaborate tooling, as my habit is to try to improve at least one part of the process each time around.

Step 1: Configure config.json

All the relevant metadata lives in config.json: ideally nothing will need tweaked after this. We need to be careful here to get the history of Wikidata IDs for the constituency correct.

git add config.json && git commit -m "add configuration"

Step 2: Scrape the results

bundle exec ruby scraper.rb config.json | tee wikipedia.csv &&
  git add wikipedia.csv && git commit -m "Initial wikipedia.csv"

Step 3: Check for missing party IDs

xsv search -v -s party 'Q' wikipedia.csv

Nothing missing.

Step 4: Check for missing election IDs

xsv search -v -s election 'Q' wikipedia.csv | xsv select electionLabel | uniq

Nothing missing.

Step 5: Generate possible missing person IDs

xsv search -v -s id 'Q' wikipedia.csv | xsv select name | tail +2 |
  sed -e 's/^/"/' -e 's/$/"@en/' | paste -s - |
  xargs -0 wd sparql find-candidates.js |
  jq -r '.[] | [.name, .item.value, .election.label, .constituency.label, .party.label] | @csv' |
  tee candidates.csv &&
  git add candidates.csv && git commit -m "initial candidates.csv"

Step 6: Remove unwanted candidacies from list

Look for anyone mis-reconciled, and ensure that each person only exists once, then re-commit:

git add candidates.csv && git commit -m "Remove unwanted reconciliations"

Step 7: Combine Those and generate QuickStatements commands

xsv join -n --left 2 wikipedia.csv 1 candidates.csv | xsv select '10,1-8' | sed $'1i\\\nfoundid' | tee combo.csv
bundle exec ruby generate-qs.rb config.json | tee commands.qs
git add combo.csv commands.qs ; git commit -m "Initial combo.csv and commands.qs"
pbcopy < commands.qs

Then sent to QuickStatements as https://editgroups.toolforge.org/b/QSv2T/1598863485949/
