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.

Babel edit

Babel lets you view and edit more than one language on Wikidata. Just add e.g. {{#babel:de-N|en-3|es-1|fr-2|nl-3|it-4|da-0}} to your user page. With the same language codes you can add links to your userpage on Wikipedia e.g. de:User:User123. --Tobias1984 (talk) 22:57, 14 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

Units for Dique Juan Carlos I Lighthouse (Q43102662) edit

The data for Dique Juan Carlos I Lighthouse (Q43102662) that you've added are missing units, e.g. for lighthouse range (P2929). Could you please add correct units? Thanks. Laboramus (talk) 02:16, 1 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Irving Place Theatre edit

You added File:Village East former Yiddish Arts Theatre.jpg as an image for Irving Place Theatre (Q6139943). Do you have a basis for that? I think it's wrong. Commons:Category:Irving Place Theatre states that the theater was demolished in 1984, and the picture you added is not in that category and doesn't particularly look like the images in that category. (Please reply here, and ping me if possible.) - Jmabel (talk) 17:28, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jmabel. I put the photo there because in the Spanish Wikipedia it's inside the infobox, then i supposed that the photo was there to show the same that in Wikidata. Sorry if i'm wrong. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 17:40, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Sounds like an error in the Spanish Wikipedia, which you might want to address. I'll remove the image. Commons:Category:Irving Place Theatre has three pictures of the correct building that you could use in es-wiki. - Jmabel (talk) 17:50, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Thanks Jmabel, i changed in the Spanish Wikipedia. Take care. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 18:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please don't empty out items edit

Hi Vanbasten 23, I noticed you emptied out several items (for example Q57907253, Q57782258, Q57832367 & Q57893201). You're not supposed to do that. Why did you do that?

Multichill (talk) 15:21, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Buenas Multichill. Estoy acostumbrado a que primero se pregunte y después cuando se llegue a un acuerdo se restauren las ediciones, no que ocurra al revés, que primero se borren mis ediciones y después se pregunte. De cualquier manera, soy profesor universitario y realicé un proyecto educativo en mi universidad para mejorar contenidos en la Wikipedia, y este año también en Wikidata. Los alumnos debían crear 2 elementos cada uno, pero en varios casos concretos entendieron mal las indicaciones y no crearon un artículo o un libro de una temática escogida previamente, por lo que tuve que pasar por todos los elementos creados borrando aquellos que eran manuales, artículos periodísticos, o elementos sin sentido o que no eran rastreables. Los casos que has revertido son estos y ya pedí su borrado. Un saludo. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 16:21, 8 December 2018 (UTC) PD: Translation: Hi Multichill. I usually ask and after an agreement we revert the wrong editions, not that it happens the other way around, that you ask and revert my edits. Anyway, I'm a university professor and I did an educational project in my university to improve contents in Wikipedia, and this year also in Wikidata. The students had to create two elements each, but in several concrete cases they misunderstood the indications and did not create an article or a book of a previously chosen theme, so I had to go through all the created elements, deleting those that were manuals, journalistic's articles, or elements without meaning or that were not traceable. The cases that you have reversed are these and I have already requested their deletion. Greetings.Reply
Moved from my talk page. Seems to be a reply to this message. Why did you leave a message in Spanish? My user page clearly indicates "Este usuario no tiene ningún conocimiento del español (o lo entiende con mucha dificultad)."
Anyway, now you know the correct way to get things deleted. Please use that in the future, saves everyone time. Happy editing. Multichill (talk) 17:18, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I didn't see your user page, sorry for that. You haven't responded to my question about reversing my editions, I did not find it very respectful, when in addition your reversals were not successful. On the other hand, I asked for the deletion a few days ago, but it could not be done until now because each case had to be studied. Your comment "saves everyone time" does not seem very positive with volunteer users like you, also without knowing the reasons why it is like this... --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 17:38, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
Please keep the conversation in one place. Makes it very hard to follow if it's spread out over multiple talk pages.
Emptying out items on Wikidata is considered vandalism and will make these items show up in all sorts of reports. Vandalism gets reverted. I checked before I did any edits if they items where nominated for deletion. I didn't see any incoming links. Where did you nominate these? I didn't see any incoming links from Wikidata:Requests for deletions. Multichill (talk) 17:47, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
You still do not answer There is no point in asking and then reversing. Why do you ask then? Is emptying erroneous items considered vandalism? I thought we called it maintenance. Reverting edits again showed wrong data without allowing the user to respond, what's the name of this actions? --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 18:04, 8 December 2018 (UTC)Reply

Why did you delete a real business? Q59472273 edit

Hi Vanbasten 23

You need to explain why you removed a real business from Wikidata Q59472273. This seems to be a poor judgment call on your behalf and is considered vandalism. A disservice to the Wiki community. The information was correct and not a duplicate. If you had a problem with the information that was published, you need to go thru the proper channels and ask for edits. Please use English because you are editing English Content. Please explain yourself or I will have to report you.

Sorry @KatraRios: but you wrote in my discussion, no in the @Multichill: discussion. I didn´t do nothing... sorry, you must write to him to know this explanations. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 13:26, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Sorry Multichill wrong User my mistake.

To Vanbasten 23 Consider this your first warning. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism#Warnings

I will be going to administrators shortly if you do not reverse the deleted page. Thank you.

Please @KatraRios: don´t write me more. I don´t know nothing about your element. I'm Vanbasten_23, and @Multichill: was the user that deleted your element, not me. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 15:30, 7 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

About speed skating edit

Hello Vanbasten23 / Aosbot.

When i saw this edit. I believe you have got it wrong, since long track speed skating (long track speed skating (Q17165362)) and short track speed skating (short-track speed skating (Q193654)) are both an equal skating sport sport (P641). Short track speed skating is not a underclass of long track speed skating. And in Norway we only use the words for short track speed skating and the oldest sport of them speed skating which is done on long track ovals like 333 1/3 m or 400 m tracks. Therefore I have only used the speed skating (Q192431).

And this edit of your bot makes it double up of the sports discipline competed in (P2416) with this short-track speed skating (Q193654) since it already have this included. Maybe you should check your automated edits a little better to avoid these things.

Best regards Migrant (talk) 21:00, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Migrant: For me, long track speed skating (Q17165362) is a subclass of speed skating (Q192431) like heptathlon (Q243264) is a subclass of athletics (Q542), isn´t for you? Thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:09, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
But in both the IOC-website and the ISU-website there is nothing called long track speed skating there is only speed skating and short track. So why should wikidata do it any different ? Best regards Migrant (talk) 22:05, 20 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Migrant: Then, why the long track speed skating (Q17165362) exist? And thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 19:16, 21 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Another double-up edit

And this edit of your bot makes it double up of the sports discipline competed in (P2416) with this short-track speed skating (Q193654) since it already have this included. Maybe you should check your automated edits a little better to avoid these things.

Best regards Migrant (talk) 20:42, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Migrant: I wrote you here on precisely to solve these problems. If you do not answer me, I can hardly solve it. Greetings. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:24, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well, if the sports discipline competed in (P2416) already includes short-track speed skating (Q193654) do not add another one in your bot-actions ! Is that so hard to do ? Migrant (talk) 22:02, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Migrant: Ohhh no. I didn´t understand the message the first time. I thought that the problem was about the existence of the item and not about the fact that the same data was created twice. No, I should not do it. Thanks and I'm sorry about the confusion. Greetings. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 22:11, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
Well it was about both things, but one correction at the time...   At the ISU-website, there it is this page that tells something about the types of sports they organize and the use long track in parentheses for singleing out the long track speed skating (Q17165362)-part of it. Unfortunately the linked document don't have wanted links further on. Migrant (talk) 22:53, 29 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
I see that you removed the one i linked above, but what about the others : person 1 = Atsuko Takata (Q58689026), person 2 = Sachi Ozawa (Q57078455), person 3 = Yuichi Akasaka (Q1497590), person 4 = Tatsuyoshi Ishihara (Q7688377), person 5 = Toshinobu Kawai (Q7827744) ?
So, if the sports discipline competed in (P2416) already includes short-track speed skating (Q193654), please, do not add another one in your bot-actions ! Hopefully there can be an if- line in your bot-script that can avoid these in the future ? Best regards Migrant (talk) 13:40, 1 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

Height problems edit

Hi,
Be carefull with the units of the imported height of eswiki ([1], [2], [3]).
Please revise this HarvestTemplate batch. Simon Villeneuve (talk) 20:23, 21 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Simon Villeneuve: I'm very sorry for the inconvenience. There were 5 or 6 bad biographies and a few paintings. It's solved, thank you very much. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:08, 21 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Yo man,
Again and again. You'll be blocked if you continue like this... Simon Villeneuve (talk) 20:45, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
That message wasn't friendly at all... I had to introduce 100 heights and the application has failed in 10, ok, I assume the errors and modify them. Understand that it is the problem of using tools to automate the collection of information. If the article has information from a vandal, I also collect it. At other times, the template from which I collect the data indicates one thing (centimeters, for example), and users put another (meters). I'm just trying to contribute. @Simon Villeneuve: --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:21, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hi again,
I just try to warn you. Wikidatians accept errors (I'm the first to benefit that), but they don't accept that once they have pointed it, you do it again as if they haven't told you anything.
I understand that you try to contribute, but it is not an excuse. If you can't contribute correctly with HarvestTemplate, use another tool.
Here's a query you can use to revise your height contributions :
SELECT DISTINCT ?taille ?item
WHERE
{?item wdt:P31 wd:Q5 ;
       p:P2048/psn:P2048/wikibase:quantityAmount ?taille .
 FILTER (?taille > 3)
 MINUS {?item wdt:P31 wd:Q190 .} #pas un-e dieu|déesse
 }
ORDER BY (?taille)
Try it!

Simon Villeneuve (talk) 23:57, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Simon Villeneuve: To warn by alluding to a blockage for two cases in which the height was wrong? I think the comment is disproportionate, there is no excuse. I use editgroups to see my changes, thank you. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 07:44, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
I've been blocked for a misuse of HarvestTemplate similar to yours. So you can still cry that I've not been kind enough with you or try to (understand|accept) my advice. Simon Villeneuve (talk) 12:48, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Simon Villeneuve: The beginning of the message was really kind, but why do you spoil it by saying "cry"? You lost your manners in the second half. I'll just tell you if you want to be more careful, because the people lose energy with this kind of things. Anyway, hace a nice day and thanks for your advice (I understand and i accept it), is very useful. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 14:47, 23 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

start time (P580) edit

Buenas. He visto que has estado importando con HarvestTemplates en universidades la propiedad start time (P580) para referirte a la fecha de fundación, pero en la mayoría de los casos genera un conflicto de restricciones por la presencia de la propiedad inception (P571), que creo que es la adecuada para el dato (aquí). ¿Puedes echarle un ojo? Un saludo. Mr.Ajedrez (talk) 10:15, 22 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Ahhhhh, que rabia. Tenía puesta la fecha de inicio por el anterior elemento y no me di cuenta. Ya siento los inconvenientes.

Hello, @Infovarius:. I have not problem to change, but i don´t understand why, because all the cases have a P31 and the use is also that, right? Thanks --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 13:55, 7 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Hm, it's hard to explain... I would say P366=X is used when X is some activity, not a class of software. --Infovarius (talk) 14:04, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
JFYI: I am using PetScan like this for changing. --Infovarius (talk) 14:38, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Not yet: https://w.wiki/Bdf + https://w.wiki/BiW ... Where did you get this data from? --Infovarius (talk) 20:40, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Infovarius: Ah, okay. I don't know why 1 hour ago the queries weren't returning these values to me, and I saw your edits and it looked like it was because you had completed it. I got the data from the English edition, because I thought that all the software was quite incomplete in terms of information. Here's an example of where the list came from. Thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 20:52, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Have you used field "type" in infobox? How did you decide to use P366 for it? Or categories? --Infovarius (talk) 21:12, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
First of all, I check in in many articles the value of the infobox and compare it with wikidata in the known articles (Chrome, IE...) to see where they have put the value, and in this case I used genre, because in all the cases I saw it appeared in use. Obviously, there were data that took information from lists :( --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:25, 8 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

P577 vs P580 for tv series edit

As I understand from this you seems to be favouring to use start time (P580) instead of publication date (P577) for instance of (P31)television series (Q5398426). Did I get it right? Ghuron (talk) 08:12, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Ghuron: I don't really know what's better, but we should know if in movies and series is preferred one in particular, to pass all those that are wrong to leave them correctly (I can do it with my bot). The main problem I have seen is that if there is a specific date (30 Apr 1975) is better than putting 1970s, because 1970s does not provide much information. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 08:18, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
My script updates information only if corresponding statement does not exist, or exist but with worse precision. The problem is that it checks only one property. Right now it is P577, but I can change it to P580. It would be nice to agree on something here. @MovieFex: I know that you are primary interested in movies, not tv series, but may be you can point to whom we can discuss this? Ghuron (talk) 09:58, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
No problem, with this query we could see the number of films with start time (P580). Then, i can change all the films and series with start time (P580) and put them to publication date (P577). Thanks. @Ghuron: --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 10:25, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Ghuron: The revert of Vanbasten 23 was right. Your idea with start time (P580) is correct for series and end time (P582). I have seen you did a lot of this changes already since march this year. May be next time you ask before you going to play with your bot, don't you?  ;) -- MovieFex (talk) 10:28, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
@Vanbasten 23: Please don't do this. Everbody makes script and bot tests here. This is horrible. -- MovieFex (talk) 10:30, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

That is exactly what I was looking for, thanks Ghuron (talk) 11:04, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Thanks @MovieFex: I was trying to say that if there's a wrong property it could be done with a bot. As long as it's clear it's wrong. Then, start time (P580) is wrong in movies and publication date (P577) is wrong in series. Or would you rather not change this either? --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 16:23, 2 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Strange item bout French/Spanish libraries edit

Hi,

I'm guessing something went wrong with the creation of the description of these items: Q85726655, Q85726656, Q85726661, Q85726654.

It says « library in Spain » (same for languages other than English) but obviously they are in France. Could you take a look and if I'm right, could you correct please? (caveat: I only spot these four, there is maybe other items I didn't found).

Rudolf Dzipanow (Q9323770) edit

Hi,

Rudolf Dzipanow (Q9323770) is not a speed skater but a general. Kpjas (talk) 14:45, 8 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thanks @Kpjas: He really was a skater, but he is better known for his military career. My bot puts the description depending on the occupation, and in occupation he only had "skater". If a skater and a general appeared on Wikipedia, the bot would not have put anything in doubt. I have already changed it, thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 15:01, 8 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
OK. WP-PL mentions his 2nd place in speed skating juniors competition champtionships. But it was 1939 the WW II broke out and his sports career was lost. Kpjas (talk) 15:32, 8 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Creating new items for items that already exist edit

Manuel García Rubio (Q102353669) is the same as Manuel García Rubio (Q42403778). Why do you create endless lists of new items, for items that already exist? And who is gonna merge them together? Edoderoo (talk) 17:24, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Small request for Italian descriptions edit

Hi, thanks for your work on descriptions :) I have a small favour to ask you: can you use "olandese", instead of "neerlandese", in Italian descriptions for Dutch people? It's valid for both males and females, so it's just a small tweak. Let me know. :) --Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 21:08, 27 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Sannita: I have not problem to change anything. But what you are asking me to do would be a mistake. Holland is not a country, it is a region of the Netherlands, which is usually misused. Greetings. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:40, 27 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Ehm, no. Actually "neerlandese" is not used in current language. We know the difference between Holland and the Netherlands, but the common adjective in Italian for "Dutch" is "olandese". We just don't say or use "neerlandese". --Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 00:48, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Sannita: Before I put it in Italian I ask Italians to correct me if I am wrong, and we had a conversation about it and they recommended that I put it as it is because it was more correct. In Spanish it's the same, everybody uses "holandés", but it's still just as wrong even though everybody uses it. I think that's what we have to do, that people get used to putting on what they should put on. If I were from Heerenveen and they called me "holandés", I wouldn't like it at all. Greetings. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 12:24, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm also Italian, and I know it is not 100% correct to say "olandese", but still it is the word everybody commonly uses for Dutch in Italian. Even Dutch (Q7411) has "lingua olandese" as preferred title, because this is the term commonly used. It is like using "Olympiad" as a synonym for "Olympic games". If you wish, you can ask here or here about it, to double check on what I'm saying. --Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 12:31, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Sannita: Yes, please. It will be better to know other opinions. Thank you very much. Greetings. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 12:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Notified participants of WikiProject Italy See above and please have your say about my request to change "neerlandese" to "olandese". Sannita - not just another it.wiki sysop 21:16, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Yes, is correct what Sannita say. It's strange but in italian we use "olandese" instead "neerlandese". Also Treccani Vocabulary (Q4015908) say "impropriamente ma correntemente l’aggettivo è esteso, in luogo di neerlandese, all’intero territorio dello stato" translate: "incorrectly but currently the adjective is extended, instead of Dutch, to the entire territory of the state". See at Treccani site --ValterVB (talk) 21:38, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
Yes the right term is “olandese”. You can see en:wikt:olandese or it:wikt:dutch or [google translate]-Pierpao (talk) 21:55, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
In Spanish it is the same. All the media report "Holland" as if it were a country. But it is incorrect. The fact that it is used regularly does not mean that it is correct, and an encyclopaedia (or knowledge base) should not be made a habit of, but should be correct. @Camelia.boban: can you say something about this? We had talked about this before. Thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 22:00, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
In Italian "olandese" is the most common term used in the spoken language. In academic language are used "neerlandese" derivated from French and "nederlandese" derivated from Dutch but it is mostly applied for the language and it is used to define Flemish and Hollandish language together. The "error" is so common that even in Papiamento, official language of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, The Netherlands are called Hulanda.--НУРшЯGIO(beware of the moose) 22:13, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
We don't use Paesi Bassi commonly because it means crotch, and olandese it's easier to say than paesebassese :-D --Sabas88 (talk) 08:05, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Sannita: I keep thinking of changing the bot to "olandese" but the country itself insists that they should stop calling them with the wrong name. Two years ago they campaigned for all countries to stop calling them Holland, as was being done with the idea that in the future it would be done correctly, so I see it as inappropriate to use "olandese" because it describes only a portion of the country.

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors edit

Dear Vanbasten 23,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at the King’s College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research that develops a personalized recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights into building a recommender system that can help improve your editing experience.

Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized (?) to provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form, and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.

If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I promise to keep the time!), please either contact me on kholoudsaa@gmail.com or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdmmFHaiB20nK14wrQJgfrA18PtmdagyeRib3xGtvzkdn3Lgw/viewform?usp=sf_link with your choice of the times that work for you.

I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to connect.

Please contact me using the email mentioned above if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Kholoud

Q13108218 vs. Q43450 edit

Why does your bot change the statement sport (P641)gymnastics (Q13108218) to the statement sport (P641)gymnastics (Q43450)? The data object Emma Malewski (Q98059688) can be used as an example. ([7]) --Gymnicus (talk) 20:27, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Gymnicus: how are you? For me sport (P641)gymnastics (Q13108218) is not a sport, it´s a old name to various sports. sport (P641)gymnastics (Q43450) is the actual sport. Do you disagree? Thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 20:52, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I would disagree, yes. But maybe there is in the data object gymnastics (Q43450) also a discrepancy between the linked German Wikipedia articles and the linked Wikipedia articles of the other language versions. You may see that in the data object Category:Gymnastics (Q7145181). The English category Category:Gymnastics refers to the data object gymnastics (Q43450). Meanwhile, the German category Kategorie:Turnen actually refers to the data object gymnastics (Q13108218) even if it is not currently built into the data object Category:Gymnastics (Q7145181). What is perhaps interesting to mention in relation to this. If you look at the German-language Wikipedia, then the data object gymnastics (Q43450) is a subclass of the data object gymnastics (Q13108218). Here in Wikidata it is exactly the other way around. --Gymnicus (talk) 21:21, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Gymnicus: I read the beginning of the sport (P641)gymnastics (Q13108218) in the German Wikipedia and it says "Ursprünglich eine Sammelbezeichnung für sämtliche Arten körperlicher Ertüchtigung, einschließlich etwa des Schwimmens und des Wanderns". Then, it´s no the actual sport. Thanks. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:34, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
I would say that I will bring up the topic again in the German-speaking forum and that we will consider a solution there. I would get in touch here again when we have agreed on a course of action. Is that okay with you for now? --Gymnicus (talk) 21:38, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Gymnicus: perfect, and thank you very mucho for your help. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 21:41, 26 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

After the administrator MisterSynergy confirmed my point of view, I started reworking. In doing so, I merged the data objects Q43450 and Q13108218. In addition, the articles Gymnastik and Springgymnastik have each received a new data objekt with gym (Q107031718) or Q107031918. From this it actually follows that your bot no longer has to do the makeovers. Can your bot actually correct the statements that are still linked to the forwarding or is another bot doing that? --Gymnicus (talk) 16:45, 30 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Gymnicus: perfect then. Yes, it is another bot. I have already deleted the option in my bot. Thank you very much. --Vanbasten 23 (talk) 17:03, 30 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Q98069733 edit

Could you or your bot set the ast description for Merel Bormans (Q98069733)? I had to remove the old one, because it was incorrect. When your bot ran the first time there was a wrong value for country of citizenship (P27). This has been corrected later by a different user, but the descriptions were never corrected. I managed to fix most of them based on Google translate, but they don't support ast. Mbch331 (talk) 14:37, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Bot-edits in referee-profiles edit

Hello Vanbasten 23/Aosbot. Your botedits on Hanjo Heideman and Bert Timmerman makes it look like the persons have had an active career as an speed skater, which is not true, they have only been referees. And that is just long track speed skating and not short track speed skating, so therefore I would actually revert your botedits, but I'm asking for your motivation of your botedits first.

Descripciones incorrectas en francés: acuerdo de género edit

Buen dia Vanbasten 23,

Ese tipo de descripcion es incorrecto en francés porque "personnalité" es feminino (incluyendo cuando se aplica a un hombre) y "chinois" es masculino.

¿Puedes hacer que tu bot corrige todas sus descripciones de forma "personnalité politique + adjectivo"? Hay dos posibilidades para un hombre:

  • Personnalité politique + adj. feminino
  • Homme politique + adj. masculino

Notability edit

  Thank you for contributing to Wikidata. I see that you recently created an item Q110681727 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. 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".  Bovlb (talk) 16:41, 25 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Eduardo Medina Mora (Q585491) et al. edit

Removing statements marked with an deprecated rank without removing the reason for determining such a rank is risky.

@Matlin: Correct me if I'm wrong. When you use MnM don't you have to specifically check if it's exactly that element you want to put the value in?

Deletion of proven statement by Aosbot edit

Your Aosbot is currently also deleting the activity athlete (Q2066131) from data object. If the statements are unsupported I don't mind, but in the case of Leonie Knaus (Q108524992) your boat also deleted a referenced statement. I consider such processing by a bot to be wrong.

Hi @Gymnicus: Thanks for your messages. Aosbot deletes that property when it finds a more specific sports profession.

fix rather than just remove data edit

Thanks for your revert https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q20968893&oldid=prev&diff=1762198364&diffmode=source !

  • But you can contribute a lot more if you fix statements rather than just removing them.
  • That link was part of importing 1.2M Worldcat IDs from VIAF: of course I could not check every one of them
  • I got maybe 200 reverts that exposed problems with conflation in VIAF or WD: so I think my import was very useful for exposing and fixing problems by the WD community (as well as collecting a list of errors for VIAF to fix)

Here's what I did:

I am still not sure that everything is ok because it seems there's a conflation on the side of VIAF. But it's better than before... Vladimir Alexiev (talk) 13:29, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

As, I think, you have already been told, town hall is the seat, the building, in which that institution has its domicile, fiscal and otherwise, such as services and so on. But it doesn't matter. That's how it stays, with "sede" in the BOE or corresponding document.
Buenas @Galopax: espero que estés muy bien, un saludo. Viendo la traducción en inglés, me parece que suena bien, pero en español es un poco raro que digas "es una apreciación que considero muy tuya"... Yo entiendo que el ayuntamiento tiene que estar en una sede concreta, pero es que el propio ayuntamiento es algo más grande que un sitio. En un pueblo no se nota tanto, pero en ciudades puedes encontrar que el ayuntamiento tiene en realidad más de un lugar para sus oficinas. El ayuntamiento es una institución y la casa consistorial es el lugar donde se ubica, pero no es que sea "muy mío". He deshecho vuestras ediciones para que si tenéis algo que decir lo hagáis y no quería borrarlo a "escondidas", porque si borro directamente seguro que ni os enteráis. El caso es que haciendo una consulta, de 2812 ayuntamientos en España, solo había 30-40 con coordenadas y los he borrado todos para tener uniformidad. La idea es crear todos los ayuntamientos y todas las casas consistoriales. Si tienes algún comentario que hacer, adelante, este es el momento, pero no me digas que es una apreciación muy mía.

Migration edit

Hi! In order to perform this merge I had to remove the sitelink to es:Migración (ecología), which in fact is perfectly mergeable with es:Migración (both regard migration in general). Could you have a look and possibly merge the first into the second? Thanks! --Epìdosis 09:47, 30 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Invitation to participate in the WQT UI requirements elicitation online workshop edit

Dear Vanbasten_23,

I hope you are doing well,

We are a group of researchers from King’s College London working on developing WQT (Wikidata Quality Toolkit), which will support a diverse set of editors in curating and validating Wikidata content.

We are inviting you to participate in an online workshop aimed at understanding the requirements for designing effective and easy-to-use user interfaces (UI) for three tools within WQT that can support the daily activities of Wikidata editors: recommending items to edit based on their personal preferences, finding items that need better references, and generating entity schemas automatically for better item quality.

The main activity during this workshop will be UI mockup sketching. To facilitate this, we encourage you to attend the workshop using a tablet or laptop with PowerPoint installed or any other drawing tools you prefer. This will allow for a more interactive and productive session as we delve into the UI mockup sketching activities.

Participation is completely voluntary. You should only take part if you want to and choosing not to take part will not disadvantage you in any way. However, your cooperation will be valuable for the WQT design. Please note that all data and responses collected during the workshop will be used solely for the purpose of improving the WQT and understanding editor requirements. We will analyze the results in an anonymized form, ensuring your privacy is protected. Personal information will be kept confidential and will be deleted once it has served its purpose in this research.

The online workshop, which will be held on April 5th, should take no more than 3 hours.

If you agree to participate in this workshop, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form to register your interest https://forms.office.com/e/9mrE8rXZVg Then, I will contact you with all the instructions for the workshop.

For more information about my project, please read this page: https://king-s-knowledge-graph-lab.github.io/WikidataQualityToolkit/

If you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me at the email address mentioned above.

Thank you for considering taking part in this project.
