Welcome to Wikidata, Lizofon!

Wikidata is a free knowledge base that you can edit! It can be read and edited by humans and machines alike and you can go to any item page now and add to this ever-growing database!

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!

Mythical characters edit

Hi Lizofon, thanks for matching some entries from the Mythoskop database. The MnM catalogue still has some issues, a few dozen entries are missing. I am working on it.

Allow me to offer a bit of (what I hope to be) constructive criticism. You created Arsinous (Q121842332) based on s:de:RE:Arsinoos 2 and added a statement "has child: Hecamede" with reference to the RE article. But in this article, Arsinoos is presented as "Vater des Eunomos" while Hecamede's father is a different Arsinoos. Please pay more attention to details when creating new items.

Erroneous batch from Mix'n'Match edit

Hi. As far as I can see you have started to do the importing of the NUKAT catalogue values from Mix'n'Match to wikidata. Many of these links are erroneous and outdated. You can literally see this if you open the first IDs from your Batch: https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q6534&diff=1962378773&oldid=1958999219 - this is not correct. People just don't always use MnM and only fix errors on WD. It would be wrong to blindly return this data back to WD. In this case, the correct way is to unlink all 20k+ links on MnM via API and re-run auxiliary matcher and only then import the data to WD. Solidest (talk) 13:44, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Lizofon, it would be a show of good faith if you were to respond to messages on your talk page. Especially when you're doing what seems to be indiscriminate mass editing. Jonathan Groß (talk) 15:26, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

The values in this batch that you added to Stephen Roberts (Q7610383), Andrew Hopper (Q60664225) and Elspeth Graham (Q87066619) are all conflated so I've deprecated them.--DrGavinR (talk) 15:32, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please, really put some more attention on YOUR additions. There are really stupid things added. Please stop immediately and check before adding.--Florentyna (talk) 17:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have posted on the Admin Noticeboard, asking for this User to be blocked and mass-reverted. Mass addition of errors is bad enough. Failing to respond and failing to correct are grounds for blocking. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:55, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Lizofon I blocked you from the main namespace to prompt you to address the issue. Kindly respond here. —Yahya (talkcontribs.) 18:58, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Anscheinend handelt es sich um eine Sockenpuppe. Massenedits mit den gleichen Fehlern. Letzte Anmeldungen unter User:Uguem caue te und User:Jan Borodo. @Emu: Imho wäre se sinnvoll, die Nutzung von Mix'n'match für neu erstellte Accounts zu beschränken. --Kolja21 (talk) 22:00, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Kolja21 Das wäre es wahrscheinlich, aber das könnte wohl nur Magnus umsetzen. --Emu (talk) 22:46, 28 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Ich habe Magnus eine Nachricht hinterlassen, siehe Topic:Xoqhfet55bvl781u. --Kolja21 (talk) 17:11, 29 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
Mix'n'match sollte jetzt alle neuen Benutzer abweisen. "Neu" habe ich erstmal als "<14 Tage registriert" definiert. Nicht getestet, sollte aber laufen (code). --Magnus Manske (talk) 07:50, 30 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
@Magnus Manske:, It doesn't seem to have worked as his new profile AI Eros Hesther mo umw registered on 23 August (less than 2 weeks ago) is doing activity there.Unless it's supposed to start working from the code's change. Solidest (talk) 15:59, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

ISBN edit

Please add ISBN values to the specific edition published with that value. Data items for works are for all editions ever published and do not have ISBN values. So edits like this one are incorrect. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:42, 27 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
