Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, SadiqY56!

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.

February 2023 edit

Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q115944521 that does not clearly indicate its notability. The Wikidata project only accepts items that meet its notability criteria, and your item is therefore likely to be deleted soon. In brief, items must have an associated Wikipedia article, must be needed for statements on another notable item, or must have both identifiers and serious sources. For the last case, a good indication of notability would be multiple articles about the subject in independent publications like newspapers or magazines. You can add such sources as references to specific claims using reference URL (P854), or as top-level claims using described at URL (P973).

Also, this may not apply in this specific case, but you should know that we discourage editors from contributing on topics with which they have a strong personal connection, as this may present a conflict of interest. If you are being paid to edit here, then you are obliged to disclose this. For a longer version, you might find it useful to read the essay "How to create an item on Wikidata so that it won't get deleted".  Estopedist1 (talk) 16:35, 7 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Bovlb. You recently made an empty item. An item is empty if it does not have any claims or sitelinks. Unfortunately, such items are not useful to Wikidata, and they are normally deleted. If you were planning to return to this item later in order to complete it and it was deleted you can request it be undeleted here. Remember that all items are expected to demonstrate notability, and we strongly discourage editors from creating items where they have a conflict of interest, for example about themselves or their employers. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Bovlb (talk) 17:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 17:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply


  Hello, I'm Bovlb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent description edits didn't meet the Wikidata description guidelines. Descriptions should appear as though they were in the middle of a sentence, typically start with a lowercase letter, and written from a neutral point of view. For example, "pop singer" would be a better description than "He is the best pop singer." If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks!  Bovlb (talk) 17:33, 20 December 2023 (UTC) --Bovlb (talk) 17:33, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Discussion at Administrators' Noticeboard edit

There is a discussion at Wikidata:Administrators'_noticeboard#Recent_crop_of_new_Nigerian_items that would benefit from your input. Bovlb (talk) 17:45, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Bulk deletion edit

Please see Wikidata:Requests_for_deletions#Bulk_deletion_request_SadiqY56 where a number of your created items have been proposed for deletion. This is because the items give no indication of notability, and you have failed to make improvements in response to feedback. Bovlb (talk) 01:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
