So true! from IFLS

@MeNoTalk When I stay at a hotel, I am the star.

@andra I'd be glad to help. :)

@hippietrail don't think low of yourself, you are not just a star, you are a bunch of them

Yes. A bunch of hairy hitchhiking stars. :P

@joernano Thanks! I did however managed to order my glasses and bottles

hopefully the 3 days promise on delivery is valid

it has been interesting

You apparently need to have a social security number to order stuff in Itlay

they asked you for a Codice Fiscale to make the purchase?

next time make a valid one out of your data using this: zip-codes.nonsolocap.it/codice-fiscale

they put it on the invoice and that's it there's no cross-checks of any kind

@Joernano I used this one: paginebianche.it/codice-fiscale?

@markmayo still not convinced on Wikidata? Can I do some more convincing?

@andra regarding wikidata

what is it actually.. I am not getting the idea behind it...

"what is it" the for dummies version please...

@menotalk it is a database

But instead of table you do statements or claims as they are called in wikidata

database engine you can use? or a database filled with data for you to query against?

NoSQL style?

what kind of API it has?

REST calls is

nice

wdq.wmflabs.org

queries are complicated...

@andra works too

@MeNoTalk for non-techies yes. :)

hahahahaha

I am not used to the noSQL style ..

TREE, STRING, CLAIM....

lots of stuff I need to understand first..

CLAIM[31:(TREE[12280][][279])] AND TREE[183][150][17,131]

@menotalk it is best to first try to add, edit some claims

i am trying.. its just does not use strings, first you have to get the numbers..

It takes some time to learn, but the real benefit is the large community which will keep your dataset up te data

booja

Can I suggest businesses (hotels, hostels) in an answer?

Sometimes yes

Especially if the question is specific enough that you could name all those that fit (or most of them)

Just mentioning one because you happen to like it is a bit more problematic I would think

But we have questions mentioning chains and the like

Note that in this case hotels are not really relevant

Ok. Yest hotels are not relevant in terms of the recommendation. However imho late check-in rules apply to them too.

So basically in this particular case I could recommend a hostel close to a metro station.

Anyhow I don't really feel like recommending any hostel in Paris seeing as I think they are all money-making machines that don't really make any effort to improve their hospitality. Simply because people will always come to Paris no matter what. And hotels are just too damn expensive.

@joernano also the question is a bit vague. I would only recommend if the OP mentions a specific arriving station in Paris

yes indeed i asked him to add some information and he did
