Inception date in SDC
I am checking some of the inception dates added to SDC, and I think I found two mistakes, it was just a quick check. Checking the date in the infobox and the date in the EXIF metadata, both are different. I think that your bot copied the date in the infobox to SDC. Case 1, Case 2. In the first case, for example, the event was in 2011 (and the image was created in that date), but was uploaded in 2012 and the inception value is set incorrectly to 30 May 2012. According to Commons:Structured data/Modeling/Date inception should be the date when the picture was taken, right? In the second case, the infobox date, the metadata date and the upload date are different. Regards. emijrp (talk) 09:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
Another example File:JUSTINandGerdHirzinger.jpg
- Creation date (according to EXIF): 2006-08-08
- Upload date to enwiki: 2008-10-08
- Upload date to commons: 2011-06-17
Bot adds 2008-10-08 as inception date[1] (the upload date to enwiki), instead of EXIF date (creation date). emijrp (talk) 09:55, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that the data parameter used in the infobox does not seem correct in the cases you highlighted. Reconciliation of these dates with EXIF is not part of what I'm doing. Also note, there has been a debate years ago when and if we should trust the EXIF date. There are numerous examples (including some of my own uploads) where the EXIF date is wrong, as I did not set it up correctly in the camera afer removing the battery. --Schlurcher (talk) 06:35, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Do not remove zeros from parameters
@Schlurcher: Please do not remove zeros from parameters like here.
- Leading zeros can indicate data range and completeness of the number. If a two-digit or one-digit number is given instead of a three-digit number, it raises reasonable suspicion that there was an error in the transcription (loss of some digit) or that a different type of data was entered. James Bond is allways 007, never 7. Today's date is 2024-06-24, not 2024-6-24. Sticking to a standard number length can sometimes also make sense for sorting etc.
- Trailing zeros right of a decimal point by default indicate decimal precision (number of significant figures), e.g. in coordinates.
