Welcome to Wikidata, Alexandra IDV!

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! Cycn

Merging items

Hallo In Donaldismo Veritas,

If you were not already using it, you may want to check out the merge.js gadget for merging items. It has an option "Request deletion for extra items on RfD" to automatically nominate the page you are merging from for deletion. This way of nominating also makes it easier for the admins to process such requests. For support and other options you can check the help page about merging.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this feature. Seems really useful! IDV^talk 10:46, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Christine Love (Q2965949) alt label

Hi, unfortunately alt-labels don't have a references field or I would have added a link; I saw that name in the credits for Cell Phone Love Letter (http://scoutshonour.com/cellphoneloveletter.html, http://scoutshonour.com/lilyofthevalley/cell_phone_love_letter-1.0-linux.tar.bz2#./game/credit.txt) wherein it says:

Please contact chris.love@[domain redacted for spam reasons but you can see for yourself by downloading the tar].com if you discover a misattribution, a liscence [sic] violation, or any other sort of copyright-based mix-up, so I can resolve it as soon as possible. I'm no thief, and I don't want to seem that way because I misread or misfiled something!

I assume Chris is just short for Christine, or perhaps the email dates back to a deadname. Anyway, I'm not trying to say people should call her by this name; that's not what the labels are for (P735/P734, P1477, P2093, P1559, P1448, and P2561 take care of that). Instead, they point possible alternate names towards the correct concept entity, the Q-number itself (and attached proper names as mentioned). Anyway, thanks for reviewing my edit; cheers!

Thanks for responding. If it is only ever used in an old email address, I don't think it's fair to say that it's an "alternate name".--Alexandra IDV^talk 23:38, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
