Welcome to Wikidata, AndrewEells!
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.

Erroneous "field of study" additions edit
Your recent OpenRefine contributions contain a lot of issues. See this one, for example, where you added "instance of: field of study" to an item about an article. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q56459697&diff=prev&oldid=1941575639
Please review all of your contributions and fix the weird ones, thank you! -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 00:12, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- on it, and thank you for pointing that out! @Wd-Ryan AndrewEells (talk) 01:56, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- FYI, there are still dozens (hundreds?) of bizarre/wrong additions of "instance of field of study", "instance of specialty", etc. Whatever automation run you did here needs to be completely undone and reconsidered from scratch. Swpb (talk) 15:10, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- I agree. Most of those should be undone. -wd-Ryan (Talk/Edits) 23:01, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
- Andrew can you please handle this? These edits are really not good and you need to clean them up. LydiaPintscher (talk) 15:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- on it this afternoon. AndrewEells (talk) 17:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- FYI LydiaPintscher, Wd-Ryan, and Swpb: these edits are not forgotten, some personal emergencies came up. Will be correcting in the next two days. AndrewEells (talk) 17:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

LydiaPintscher, Wd-Ryan: Over a month later, these are still unfixed in the wild: [1]. Andrew?? Swpb (talk) 02:54, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
- Nevermind, I've undone the batch on EditGroups. Swpb (talk) 16:19, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Project edit
Hi Andrew,
for which project do you work? Is your recent import of ontology terms still justified by [2] ? Kind regards-- U. M. Owen (talk) 10:24, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
