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 now 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.

Step 1: Scrape the results

bundle exec ruby scraper.rb config.json | tee wikipedia.csv

Step 2: Check for missing party IDs

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

Vapers in Power is missing, but already exists in Wikidata.

Ste 3: Check for missing election IDs

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

Nothing missing

Step 4: 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

Step 5: 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

Then sent to QuickStatements as https://tools.wmflabs.org/editgroups/b/QSv2T/1598288869832
