Need some help getting started? Here are some pages you can familiarize yourself with:

• Introduction – An introduction to the project.
• Wikidata tours – Interactive tutorials to show you how Wikidata works.
• Community portal – The portal for community members.
• User options – including the 'Babel' extension, to set your language preferences.
• Contents – The main help page for editing and using the site.
• Project chat – Discussions about the project.
• Tools – A collection of user-developed tools to allow for easier completion of some tasks.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask on Project chat. If you want to try out editing, you can use the sandbox to try. Once again, welcome, and I hope you quickly feel comfortable here, and become an active editor for Wikidata.

Best regards!

Merging items

Hallo Nk,

When you are merging items, please use the Merge.js gadget. It helps you nominating, gives the option to always keep the lower number (which is older, so preferable) and makes it a lot easier for the admins to process the requests.

With regards,

Bedankt. --Nk (talk) 14:22, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Request

Hello.

Could you create the article en:Architecture of Azerbaijan (Republic of Azerbaijan) in Bulgarian, just like the article bg:Японска архитектура which you uploaded?

Thank you.

Translation request

Hello.

Can you create en:Template:Administrative divisions of Azerbaijan in Bulgarian? The supplementary article bg:Административно деление на Азербайджан already exists.

Yours sincerely, Sarvathi (talk) 14:34, 28 March 2019 (UTC)

planning region of Bulgaria (Q17297723) и located in the administrative territorial entity (P131)

Здравствуйте! Вчера мы исправили подобную ошибку для Венгрии, а сегодня я заметил Ваши правки для областей Болгарии. planning region of Bulgaria (Q17297723) не administrative territorial entity (Q56061), а statistical territorial entity (Q15042037), поэтому их, как и многие другие Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (Q193083) следует указывать через свойство part of (P361). Не беспокойтесь, я обратил внимание на то, что Вы использовали Викиданные в болгарской Википедии — я поправил шаблон для областей, чтобы он продолжал плоказывать planning region of Bulgaria (Q17297723) в нужном поле. Я полагаю, что для избежания подобных ошибок надо предложить новое специальное иерархическое свойство дя статистических регионов, чтобы можно было параллельно составить как административные цепочки, так и статистические.

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment

Dear Nk,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits. Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study will start in late February 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes.

If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Elevation

You say "obviously coordinate location is to be assumed" (Special:Diff/1793241115). I don't see how this is obvious. Coordinate location is arbitrary anyway, it can be changed to different coordinates within settlement boundaries. You might add coordinates for the hightes point (along with appropriate qualifier) or something like that, but otherwise this value is mostly meaningless as elevation within settlement boundaries varies 10s of metres. Qualifierless elevation might be appropriate for settlements in some other countries, for instance statistics office in Italy uses municipality elevation values for some designated reference points, but such designated elevation values don't exist for Estonian settlements. 2001:7D0:81FD:BC80:2C63:11F9:ACD0:ECE4 09:09, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

The elevation variability is not specific to Estonia, e.g. in Bulgaria there are settlements with elevations varying with 1000s of meters. On the other hand coordinates are also variable (sometimes settlement territory stretches with 10s of kilometers) but we don't remove them just because they miss qualifier explaining what they designate. --Nk (talk) 09:17, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

I think coordinates are different as even if approximate they still quite accurately indicate where in the world the object lies. On the other hand if 63 m elevation may be 20 m more or less then the value overall indicates uncertainty. I don't know about Bulgarian settlements, whether some designated reference points exist or how the value is chosen. If, say, for neighbouring settlements with similar height profiles, one is said to be 1000 m higher than the other then I would find it rather confusing.

Elevation values of settlements being at best dubious is probably the case for many other countries, too. I think in part Wikipedia infoboxes are to blame as people tend to fill in as many existing template fields as they can while some of these are better to be left emply, and then the poor quality data gets imported to Wikidata. 2001:7D0:81FD:BC80:2C63:11F9:ACD0:ECE4 09:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

• Coordinates could be as misleading as elevations - for example 42° 41′ 28″ N 23° 18′ 36″ E and 42° 33′ 58″ N 23° 17′ 02″ E are technically both in Sofia but nobody would use the later to refer to it. And they also have 1600+ meters elevation difference.
• No formally defined reference points in Bulgaria. The Statistics Institute classifies the settlements within several predefined elevation categories (see https://www.nsi.bg/nrnm/show2.php?sid=57422&ezik=en&e=128142&e=9787) but they also pick certain unspecified reference point as there are settlements that don't fit within their category (e.g. Sofia classified in 500-699 m range but actually goes obove 2200 m). In bgwiki we have always used as reference point the urbanistic center of the settlement (easily identifiable in the case of Bulgaria, usually a central square).
• In principle I agree that it's better to explicitly add a qualifier to the elevation statements, I just don't see any examples of the correct way to do that. I see that some people already discussed that subject at Property talk:P2044 without a clear conclusion.

--Nk (talk) 10:12, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Well, even if coordinates are not centre coordinates they still indicate where the object is. In that regard coordinates for larger territories (including countries) can be considered useful, too. In Estonia most settlements are disperse (dispersed settlement (Q1372205)) and are without a clear centre. As for elevation, it's probably more straightforward to provide it for smaller objects, like buildings, squares etc. I suppose in case of Bulgaria there is some basis to provide generic elevation for settlements then if these elevation ranges are defined. 2001:7D0:81FD:BC80:BD39:D13D:DA25:5BFC 11:22, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Coordinates are indicative as they are within the borders, elevation is also indicative as it is within the range of elevations. Anyway I will try not to add elevations for places in Estonia. --Nk (talk) 12:08, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Paramun

Buenas, el país al que pertenece este pueblo es Serbia y no Bulgaria, puedes comprobarlo: [1] [2] (Zlatibor District Serbia)

@Elías: Well, there are 2 different villages with the same name. [3] :) I will split the item. --Nk (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

@Elías: Here they are: Paramun (Q1836201) in Bulgaria, Paramun (Q117222604) in Serbia. I fixed the data that you have overwritten. --Nk (talk) 13:36, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Ok, ok, perfecto !!!. Elías (talk) 01:44, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
