Step 5

Thought 5

The OFFSET and LIMIT parameters I used are not correctly identifying the 15th mayor. I should only retrieve one result with OFFSET 14 and LIMIT 1 to specifically get the 15th mayor of Chicago.

Action 5

Querying Wikidata using SparQL:

SELECT ?mayor ?mayorLabel ?start ?end WHERE {
  ?mayor p:P39 ?statement.
  ?statement ps:P39 wd:Q1760078;
    pq:P580 ?start.
  OPTIONAL { ?statement pq:P582 ?end. }
