Welcome to Wikidata, 15wongij1!
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! Bovlb (talk) 16:08, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
August 2022 edit
Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q113653701 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".

- Hello, thanks so much for letting me know. I've made amendments that may help. Let me know if there is anything else I would need to do! 15wongij1 (talk) 16:43, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- I'm afraid this item does not appear to meet any of the notability criteria. Which criterion did you think it meets? Bovlb (talk) 21:11, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
- I've added more identifiers to the item – like the Facebook ID and Twitter username to meet the second criteria since it doesn't have a Wikipedia page. 15wongij1 (talk) 14:54, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, you now have some identifiers, thanks, but the second notability criterion has two parts. Can you dig up some independent, reliable sources? Bovlb (talk) 15:20, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Okay. I added a reference URL under newspaper (instance of) from an Indonesian government agency that oversees public information disclosure in the country. 15wongij1 (talk) 15:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. That seems a little thin. It suggests the entity exists, but little more. We're looking for evidence that this entity "can be described using serious and publicly available references", so we really need sources that provide some information about it. Does anyone report on the founding, or the board, or any awards won? Bovlb (talk) 15:46, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- The closest thing I have found is a different organisation reporting the company's 7th anniversary. I've referenced this under inception. Thanks so much for your patience! 15wongij1 (talk) 15:52, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- No worries. I think the item is reasonably safe now, but more references always help. Bovlb (talk) 15:55, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for letting me know. My organisation is aggregating a database of Asian media so we will definitely be back to add more references on. 15wongij1 (talk) 16:15, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
