Logo of Wikidata

Welcome to Wikidata, Ahc84!

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! --Epìdosis 15:45, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

P180 on Q122248 edit

Hi! I moved the various statements of depicts (P180) that you created on Heracles (Q122248) to Bust of Hercules (Q58295384), which I believe was what you intended to do. I'm not sure why nor how the tool you used added the statements on the subject and not on the object ; watch out as it could happen again.

@Jahl de Vautban: Thanks for catching this! I was attempting to learn to use a new tool, and this was definitely in error--Apologies! Ahc84 (talk) 18:45, 23 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

Using Q numbers in descriptions edit

I don't think this is a good idea in principia (Q2110440), we don't want to have Q numbers in our content Vicarage (talk) 17:59, 30 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Books and stuff edit

Hi, please be careful when merging items: having the same title doesn't mean that it is the same book or article, specially if it has different identifiers! The modelling of books isn't the most straightforward thing if you're not a librarian, but you'll find more information on Wikidata:WikiProject Books.

Hi! Thanks for the friendly reminder. I had thought I was checking identifiers, publication dates and venues, and editions, but I may have unintentionally blundered something where some of those statements were not present. Trying to cleanup the Dura Europos biblio where there are quite a few true duplicates. I’ll proceed with especial caution Ahc84 (talk) 23:59, 20 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
