Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, חזרתי!

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.

correct item for gender of persons edit

Hello, and thank you for your work on Israeli people,

Please note that, for human (Q5), the proper item for sex or gender (P21) is male (Q6581097), not male organism (Q44148), which is for animals :) - thank you.--Hsarrazin (talk) 21:05, 5 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi Hsarrazin, where is my mistake? חזרתי (talk) 05:06, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
it was on item Q41630677 and I corrected it. Can I assume from given name (P735) and family name (P734) you added that his name in English would be something like "Itzhak Segev" ?
you were not the only one to do this error these past weeks, I corrected 96 items yesterday, a lot in hebrew, and also a lot in Bengali, which leads me to think the descriptions in those languages are probably not precise enough. Can you check the he description, please ? Thanks for your help, here.
yours, --Hsarrazin (talk) 10:29, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
Hi Hsarrazin, the He description is O.K., and I can't understand how I did this mistake. Sorry! חזרתי (talk) 21:38, 6 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Mahavatar Babaji date of birth edit

I understand that is highly unlikely that person can live ~1700 years, but what exactly is wrong with reflecting "They claim that in 1953 Mahavatar Babaji told them that he was born on 30 November 203 CE" as an opinion? Ghuron (talk) 11:49, 1 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
