Wikipedia links in Person.csv

[whalekeykeeper]

Under the column of source_1 and source_2 of Person.csv, sometimes a wikipedia link is given.

In the Wikidatalookup tool repository, authenticity_person.py contains functions to retrieve the Q-identifier of a Wikidata entity by querying with the MediaWiki API with these Wikipedia links, then via using the Wikidata SPARQL endpoint, information (such as name, gender, birth year, death year, place of birth) are queried and stored.

During the above procedure, it is found that:

1. Some Wikipedia links do not point to the page we need, the page itself is valid but the Wikipedia link is considered to be invalid for not serving the goal of storing it
   For example, for AG0141, 'https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E9%BB%8E%E6%BE%8D' points to a disambiguation page

2. Some Wikipedia links are not valid
   For example, for AG0328 , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_yesenin will return a page with Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name

A list of invalid Wikipedia is under compiling.

There are also implicit invalid Wikipedia links.
