Welcome to Wikidata, Arjoopy!

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!

Berge und Schutzgebiete edit

Ich musste deine Änderung bei Kleiner Wagenberg (Q62032889) rückgängig machen - Schutzgebiet und Berge müssen separate Einträge hier sein, nach deinen Änderungen wäre der Berg 1961 entstanden, was Unfug ist. Der Berg ist jetzt bei Kleiner Wagenberg (Q104537257) zu finden. Ich konnte aber keine Quelle für deine Höhenangabe finden, laut OSM ist er 598 (und nicht 567) Meter hoch.

Moin @Ahoerstemeier:! Besten Dank für den Hinweis, bin selbst noch Rookie hier. Meine Höhenangabe kommt aus dem amtlichen Messtischblatt 1:25.000 vom Thüringer Landesamt, woher die 598 m von OSM kommen habe ich mich auch schon gewundert. Beste Grüße!

Ich habe die Höhe hinzugefügt, und den wohl falschen Wert aus OSM als ungültig markiert. Am besten ist natürlich eine Quelle die auch online verfügbar ist - ich habe den Downloadlink aus dem Geoportal gefunden, aber auf der Karte dort steht 566 und nicht 567. Du solltest wann immer möglich eine Referenz mit eintragen, gerade bei den Bergen waren über Jahre von einem Bot errechnete Werte (oft völlig falsch, gerade bei Inselbergen) eingetragen, und weil nicht besser erkennbar wurden dann kürzlich alle Berghöhen ohne Referenz (und mit der Referenz zur Cebuano Wikipedia (Q837615)) gelöscht.

Call for participation in the interview study with Wikidata editors edit

Dear Arjoopy,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at 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 at kholoudsaa@gmail.com or kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk 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 if you have any questions or require more information about this project.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards

Call for participation in a task-based online experiment edit

Dear Arjoopy,

I hope you are doing good,

I am Kholoud, a researcher at King's College London, and I work on a project as part of my PhD research, in which I have developed a personalised recommender system that suggests Wikidata items for the editors based on their past edits. I am collaborating on this project with Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.

I am inviting you to a task-based study that will ask you to provide your judgments about the relevance of the items suggested by our system based on your previous edits.

Participation is completely voluntary, and your cooperation will enable us to evaluate the accuracy of the recommender system in suggesting relevant items to you. We will analyse the results anonymised, and they will be published to a research venue.

The study will start in early April 2022, and it should take no more than 30 minutes. If you agree to participate in this study, please either contact me at kholoud.alghamdi@kcl.ac.uk or use this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSees9WzFXR0Vl3mHLkZCaByeFHRrBy51kBca53euq9nt3XWog/viewform?usp=sf_link

I will contact you with the link to start the study.

For more information about the study, please read this post: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Kholoudsaa In case you have further questions or require more information, don't hesitate to contact me through my mentioned email.

Thank you for considering taking part in this research.

Regards
